Maltby
Sadly only the tower remains of the medieval church, the
rest have
been replaced in 1859. The powerful tower seems to have been
of 3
storeys, with the bottom one being as tall as the nave. Each
susequent storey saw an external instep. The surviving
windows
are all Romanesque apart from the bell chamber which has 4 probably
fifteenth century twin openings which may replace the earlier
originals. The twin windows on the lowest floor may suggest
that
this was originally split into 2 floors. The tower contains
much herringbone
work bounded by long and short quoins.
