proceeded to convert into Jesus College.
The aisles of both the nave and quire of
the nuns' church were destroyed, and the
arcades which had separated them from the
body of the church were walled up. The
western part of the nave Was separated from
the rest by a wall, and converted into
chambers, and afterw j ards into a lodge for
the Master. It is possible that this was the
part of the church to which the public had
formerly been admitted, and that the portion
retained as the college chapel represents the
ritual quire of the nuns' church. A doorway
Was formed in the south Wall at the extreme
west end of the chapel. This door was
probably intended to serve as the public
entrance to the college chapel, for the con-
ventual church had been, and the college
chapel continued to be, a parish church.
A five -light window, with a transom and a
four-centred arch, but without tracery, Was
inserted in the east wall, and windows of
similar character Were made in the side
walls of the chapel and in the ante-chapel.
The top story of the to^vwr was added or
rebuilt at the same time. The ante-chapel
consists of the truncated nave and transepts
of the conventual church. Merton College
Chapel Was also, until recent times, a parish
church. But whereas Merton Chapel was
built on the site of an ancient church of
St. John the Baptist, and its nave was never
even begun, Christ Church is an ancient
conventual church complete in its eastern
portions, but with truncated nave and nave-
aisles ; and Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge,
an ancient conventual church with truncated
nave, both quire-aisles and nave -aisles being
destroyed throughout the church. But all
three chapels are cruciform, retaining their
transepts, and are not a new departure
comparable with that made at Oxford by
Wykeham when he built New College Chapel.
