ST. EDMUND’S
CHAPEL
This chapel
is entered under the organ and is on the north aisle of the church. The altar is of Bethersden marble and is
believed to be the tomb of Thomas Horne, who died in 1471. The arms, forming
two of the carved panels, are repeated on the headstones of the pillars
supporting the arch which separates the chapel from the north aisle and are
almost obscured by the organ.
To the left
of the altar, on the north wall is the memorial to the Viscount Chilston of
In the north wall
of the chapel is a door to the turret staircase which gave access to a medieval
rood screen that spanned the full width of the church.
The two manual organ of
1910, with its pneumatic action, is a good example of the work of Messrs.
Norman & Beard from that period.
