also are the inner arches, the splay dying on to the jambs; the 
outer jambs and arch have the quarter-round mould in addition. 
The inner doorway of the porch has two orders of mouldings on 
arch and jambs, without label, and typical stops—which are, 
however, almost hidden by the raising of the floor. The outer 
doorway has somewhat similar mouldings and stops, but the greater 
part of the porch has been re-built (as mentioned later), the window 
to the priests’ chamber over disappearing in the process, leaving 
only the quatrefoil opening (which has never been glazed), which 
gave a view into the aisle. Parts of the arch of a two-light window 
now form the head of the upper doorway. 
The work to this aisle is of Doulting stone. 
The present roof was put on at the restoration of 1856. The old 
oak benches on stone bases are preserved. 
The next step in the development of the building was taken 
on the north side. In 1393 Richard II. made a grant of land for 
the further endowment of the north chapel, shortly before which 
time (circa 1380) the north and east walls were re-built, making it 
practically equal in width to the south chapel, and of the full length 
of the chancel—it thus projected beyond the north aisle as the 
Bettesthorne Chapel formerly did on the south, and had similar 
diagonal buttresses at the outer (north-west and north-east) angles : 
it was, however, carried above the contemporary chancel, and had 
a span roof, in lieu of the (probable) lean-to form of the previous 
small chapel. Here, as in the south chapel, the transition to the 
Perpendicular is much more marked in the east window than in the 
side ones. This window is a five-light pointed one, and if judged 
by its tracery might be taken to be later, but the mouldings—the 
wave-mould, splay, and cavetto on the outside arch and jambs and 
the two latter inside and on the mullions and tracery—show it to be 
of the period now under review. It has the same outside label re- 
turning square into the wall, as on the side windows, and inside arch 
with wave mould dying on to the jambs. The chapel is divided into 
_ three bays in length, the divisions being marked by buttresses on 
the outside; and a splayed plinth is carried round the diagonal 
buttress and along the east side (it is also continued later along the
