Castle Donington Leicestershire
Looking west from the chancel down the aisled nave. Begun in early 13c, or earlier, with an aisleless building, the chancel and a south aisle being added to the nave afterwards with the north aisle following mid 13c. Towards the end of the same century the south aisle was rebuilt, the east end forming a chantry chapel; The eastern part of the north aisle was rebuilt c 1320, and the rebuilding of the whole aisle was completed within the next 20 years. The nave was heightened with clerestory windows and the roof flattened in the late 15c
