ABSTRACT
The Chapel of St Nicholas, King's Lynn, was founded by William Turbe, Bishop of Norwich, for the inhabitants of the New Lande, the area allocated for occupation north of the Purfleet. This chapter discusses the early-15th-century twin oak doors at the west end, and in the south porch. Most of the medieval oak furnishings were sold by the chapelwardens in 1852, and a few fragments were purchased by the Royal Architectural Museum, Westminster. A ground-plan sketch of the chapel, drawn by Kerrich in 1800, shows the original position of the vanished medieval rood-screen. Another plan, which is based upon the situation before the wholesale reordering of 1852, shows the location of the rood-screen and medieval choir enclosure. There is also an aquatint of the church interior, taken from half-way up the nave and dated 1808, by the local architect, Francis Goodman.
