St Nicholas Chapel.
There are many noteworthy features in the St Nicholas Chapel, including a carved fragment with an 11th century dragon in the Scandinavian tradition and carvings on the arch of the eastern wall. Beside it are the marks of a mason.
A Victorian window despicts St Nicholas, and is one of a set of windows desinged by Charles Kempe (1837-1907) whose distinctive wheat-sheaf monograme can be seen in several of them. Another window, erected in 1953, commemorates John Burn, prior of the medieval monastry of Holy Trinity, and William Compton, vicar of St Nicholas, who in 1453 built the 14 foot-high tower above the chapel.
