There was an annual Church Alef held for the benefit of St. 
Andrew's. Mr. "Worth J gives a copy of an interesting document 
extracted from the Black Book of the Corporation. 
In 1441 a further addition was made to the parish church, the 
north aisle being then built. I believe this also to have been a 
similar addition as the aisle of the Blessed Virgin just spoken of. 
It was dedicated to St. John the Baptist. I speculate sometimes 
as to who the founder of this aisle might have been, and have como 
to the conclusion, with little or no evidence to support it, that it 
was one John Jabeyn. This John, by his will dated 1st December, 
1441, directed that his body should be buried at St. Andrew in 
the chapel of St. John the Baptist, near the altar there. And he 
also gave certain lands for the maintenance of a chaplain to say 
mass daily at the Altar of St. John the Baptist in the said church 
of St. Andrew the apostle, of Plymouth. We shall see by and 
by what became of these lands. 
In 1460, or thereabout, a work was accomplished by a towns- 
man, which has handed down his name, harsh and unpoetical as it 
is, to the present time, and for many a year to come the memory 
of Thomas Yogge will be cherished in the good town of Plymouth. 
Yogge undertook, if the town would be at the cost of the ma- 
terials (Leland calls them " stuff"), to erect a tower to the parish 
church, and the result was, as we see now, the massive tower of 
St. Andrew. The tower was built, the Corporation Black Book 
says, in 1441. 
Not content with thus showing his interest in God's house, the 
good man added a fair chapel on the north side of the church, 
which I take to be the chapel which is now usually called the 
north transept. 
Also, "this Thomas Yogge made a fair house of moorstone in 
the town towards the haven. This Thomas made a goodly house 
of moorstone on the north side of the churchyard of Plymouth 
parish church." Thus far Leland, who found that the works of 
Yogge were not forgotten when he visited Plymouth a century
