Monument record TR 15 NE 1198 - Lady Chapel or Deans Chapel, Christchurch Cathedral
Summary
The Lady Chapel or Deans Chapel was rebuilt during the later stages of the rebuilding of the nave in between1377 and 1405, on the site of Lanfranc's Lady Chapel. The Lady Chapel was largely completed in c. 1405 and finally finished off in 1455 by Prior Goldstone the first. Originally there were carvings of angels and leaf trails on the walls, however these were cut away to make room for stall-work. The chapel is set aside for private prayer.
