A GUIDE TO THE CHAPEL RUINS

Inside the tower was a staircase, now destroyed, that led to the higher of the two blocked up doors and to the roof. This originally led to a gallery or roof loft across the west of the chapel. In the spandrels at the top of the door frame are two shields with badly eroded emblems, one is unrecognisable but the other is a ragged cross.

At present there are a few well preserved headstones in the tower, but at one time there may have been floors inserted in the structure to enable it to be used as a habitation or for meeting rooms for the Guild. Indeed there are very faint traces of there being fires inside the building.
