St Nicholas Chapel
Originally one of two transepts added at the time as 14th century rebuilding. The north transept was sacrificed when the gallery was installed and the vestry built; the south transept was dedicated to St Nicholas and is where the blessed sacrament is reserved for taking to the sick. On the west wall is hung the original Altar Stone used in the church before its dedication. The chapel was restored in 1921 and the screen provided. There were also at one time figures or effigies in the two niches in the south wall but they have become lost and are thought to be buried somewhere in the churchyard. The pulpit is Jacobean and was originally un-painted but polished wood. The tester (Sounding Board) over the pulpit, is of modern design and added to aid the preacher's sermons to reach the rear of the church, nowadays a microphone and speakers are used.
