NOTES AND QUERIES, [iis.vn. APRIL 26, 1913.

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.
