Description

The chapel and the crypt, dating from Hubert Walter’s ministry, remain. Interestingly, the windows of the chapel were made in a French style. Lollard’s tower was completed by Archbishop Chicheley in 1435, though it is uncertain if Lollards were ever imprisoned there. In 1490, the imposing Morton’s Tower made in a Tudor style of red brick was added to the building, and is now used as the entrance.
