and west walls of the nave portion each have a single-light window 

 with trefoil head, and moulded arches and labels. There are also 

 north and south doors opposite each other. 



Following the usual Chapel plan the building has no structural 

 division between sanctuary and nave, but the respective dignity 

 attaching to these parts is very clearly distinguished in the treatment 

 of the windows — for, whilst the sanctuary windows are of two lights 

 and traceried, those of the nave are a late form of lancet ; and the 

 mouldings of the arches and labels of the latter are oi a distinctly 

 plainer type, and there were no corbels to tlie arches. The sanctu- 

 ary was separated from the nave by a wooden screen, and the exact 

 position and dimensions of this can be clearly traced on the walls, 

 the inside faces of which were covered with a thin coat of plaster — 

 probably to receive decoration — after the screen was fixed, and this 

 plaster remains to a large extent intact ; it is from it that we 

 are able to trace the former existence of many interesting features 

 now removed, the places of which are occupied by brick filling ; 

 those are : — (1) on the south of the sacrariimi, where a corbel-head 

 remains, a piscina has probably been destroyed ; (2) on each side 

 of the east window a large patch seems to indicate the former 

 existence of a corbel, and about 2ft. above the last a small corbel 

 existed on each side ; (3) there are small holes in north and south 

 walls of the sanctuary, almost level with these ; (4) the holes where 

 the ends of the top beam of the screen entered ; (5) marks of roof 

 or other corbels in the north and south walls throughout. In 

 connection with these marks I may mention small holes, now 

 stopped with plaster (which must have been done prior to the 

 desecration of the Chapel), in the stonework at the springing level 

 of all the windows and doors, the object of which it is difficidt to 

 conceive. 



The structvire of the Chapel does not seem to have received any 

 mediaeval re-modelling excepting, perhaps, the interesting en- 

 richment of the cu-cular piercing of the two-light windows by the 

 insertion of cusping in a groove 2in. wide and fin. deep — the 

 grooves stiU remain, but the cusping has been removed. It is not 

 improbable, however, that this was part of the original work, as at
