	THIRSK by PEVSNER
		It was begun about 1430 and built into the c16 - the tower apparently first (see the straight joint between its E buttresses and the aisle w walls), the chancel after the nave and aisles.
		The stimulus seems to have been the foundation of a chantry by Robert Thirsk, who died in 1419.
		Its front is plain (of nine bays and three storeys), but it has a good staircase with twisted balusters and Queen Anne arches and in an upper room a good midde but with a pretty additional canted bay with Gothick glazing bars.
