A HISTORY OF BEDFORDSHIRE rest of the south side being occupied by an arcade of two bays opening to the south chapel and contem- porary with it. This chapel has one east window and two on the south, each of three cinquefoiled lights under flat-pointed heads, and between the two south windows is a doorway in modern stonework. East of this doorway, on the inner face of the wall, is a recess 12 in. deep, with a four-centred head, the sill being about 6 ft. from the floor, and below the south- east window is a piscina.

In the west wall, near the entrance to the church, are two recesses, both plastered and of uncertain origin, though one may have held the holy water stone. At the south-east is a vice in a turret of irregular plan leading to the parvise above, and in the east wall is a fifteenth-century lozenge-shaped panel of stone, with indents of a brass, clearly that of a priest, the central object having been a chalice and host. The parvise is lighted by square-headed wi
