(6) The North Transept / Chapel

This chapel originated in the 13th century.

Originally, the east wall contained three narrow lancet windows; only one remains. A large double window was added in the 15th century. Its stained glass depicts St Edmund, shown both as King of East Anglia and as a martyr pierced with arrows. The window commemorates Rev. Edmund Stansfield, whose initials appear in the glass.

Two carved stones from the early 16th century are set into the north wall:

  • A family memorial, possibly to Richard Covert, Lord of the Manor
  • Part of an altar tomb belonging to Thomas Cooke and his wife Joan

Both were found reused as paving during 19th-century restoration.
