CHAPEL. 



South-East. 



This is fifteen feet from north to south, and twenty-eight from 

 east to west. It is much more highly ornamented than the one 

 just described. At the east end is a window of five lights, and on 

 the south side two others, of five and four lights; underneath the 

 one nearest east is a canopied doorway, ornamented with crockets 

 and a finial. Between the windows, and at the angle of the walls, 

 are buttresses corresponding in form with those of the other chapel, 

 but more highly decorated. The parapet is embattled, the lower 

 portion ornamented with a row of Tudor flowers, and the upper 

 with square panels, enclosing quatrefoils. In the centre of the 

 east wall, above the roof, is a canopied niche, now unoccupied, which 

 no doubt contained the image of the saint to whom the chapel was 

 dedicated. At the points of the window-arches, and at the drip- 

 stone terminations, are carved demi-angels, one of which bears a 

 shield charged with a crucifix, others a chalice and wafer, &c. The 

 roof is flat and covered with lead. 



It is connected with the chancel and transept by three arches 1 

 in the walls. The roof, which is of oak, corresponds nearly with 

 that of the chapel on the opposite side of the chancel; 3 the wall- 

 pieces spring from carved figures of demi-angels, similar to those 

 on the outside walls, above described. Between the windows and 

 arches are four canopied niches, and on the south side, between the 

 doorway and the east wall, is a stone seat which may have formed 

 the sedilia. 



A modern screen, of carved oak, divides the chapel in the centre, 

 and the eastern portion is now used as a vestry. 



From the similarity of this chapel to one on the south side of 

 the chancel of Bromham church, founded by Richard Beauchamp, 



1 Between the two on the north side is a hagioscope. 



2 These roofs were, previously to the year 1844, totally obscured by plaster 

 and whitewash.
