..this is another shot from the ruins at the east end of St John the Baptists church in Chester. Unable to afford the upkeep of such a large building, in 1581 the parishioners erected a new east wall, which is what you can see through this archway. The ruined east end of the church was left in ruins. This included a Norman chancel, the 14th Lady Chapel and two medieval side chapels, of which this is one.
