114 ST. MARGARET'S HOSPITAL. 



The whole of the walls of the chapel were originally decorated 

 with paintings, tracings of some of which are evidently of a very 

 early date, while those on the east end are of a later period. 



The wall at the east end of the Chapel has been rebuilt at no 

 very remote date, and a segment-headed window with wooden 

 mullions, etc., is inserted, the only portion of the old work remain- 

 ing being a small fragment of glass with an entwined cable round 

 the edge, and a rose in the centre of straw-tinted glass. 



On the outside of the passage door on the north side is a 

 benatura, or stoup, walled in contrary to ordinary custom on the 

 left hand side of the door and at an unusual height. 



The roof has circular ribs, and appears to be for the most pait 

 original. The tie beams having being added, the wall plate still 

 bears traces of decoration. 



The Chapel has recently undergone extensive and judicious 

 repairs under the directions of the late Rev. R. W. Fairbank, who 

 was for some years a curate in the parish, and took a great interest 

 in St. Margaret's Chapel.
