station with telegraph, a church, a Wesleyan chapel, and acoast-guard station. The church was built in 1867, at a cost of about £3, 200; consisted then of nave, N aisle, and N transept; was designed to be enlarged with Saisle, S transept, chancel, porch, and vestry, and to have a tower and spire 100 feet high; and is in the early decorated style, more French than English. The Wesleyan chapel was built in 1865, and is in the early English style.
