Former chancel of the Chapel of the Hospital of St James

GV II

Former chancel of the Chapel of the Hospital of St James, now the pottery shop of Lewes Priory School. Circa 1350, heavily restored since and particularly in the C19 and C20. Knapped squared flint on ohamfered stone plinth, with some stone and some brick quoins and dressings. Plain tiled roof with bargeboards and finials. Two single-light windows with cusped ogee-heads in rectangular chamfered openings. West end of random and snecked dressed stone. Interior: completely clad internally. The Hospital of St James was built by the monks of Lewes Priory during the C14 when the chapel of St John within the Priory Gate became too small for parochial needs and the hospitium was converted to become the future parish church of St John, Southover.
