The Chancel repairs carried out in 1864 were kept as a separate project from the other works because of the fact that the lessee of Deopham Manor and Parsonage was responsible for financing chancel repairs.
In addition to the chancel works, the architect Ewan Christian listed the following on February 19th 1864:-
