The moulded capitals, corbels and bases of the North aisle, date from 1280. The head on the eastern one may represent Edward I (Edward Longshanks) whose reign (1272–1307) began shortly before the aisle was built. The eyebrows certainly match those in his portrait in Westminster Abbey!

The elegant octagonal 13th century font, visibly repaired in lead, has a simple 14th century wooden cover. Just about here the staircase led to the 18th century gallery.

As you stand facing the altar, on your left is the north aisle, featuring quatrefoil pillars, built c. 1280, in the reign of King Edward I.
