Chancel arch conundrum

Looking east in St.Oswald's church, the chancel arch is 13th century but the capitals look 15th century ..... presumably re-used from elsewhere during the rebuilding of the nave in 1820 and the chancel in 1862

Grade I listed. The oldest part of the church dates back to the 13th century. The church was enlarged during the 15th century and later had restoration work done under Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 19th century. The arcade – most of the windows and the south porch date from this time. The octagonal font is 13th/15 century. The wrought iron top is modern. The church has north and south aisles and a north chapel. The late 13th C 3 bay arcades have double chamfered arches with octagonal piers and moulded capitals. On the voussoirs are extensive traces of red painted foliage. The lower part of the tower is 13th century and retains the original narrow tower arch and small lancet window in the west wall.
