Chapel of St Saviours; built between 1331 and 1335. It stood on the north-west angle of the churchyard and was approached from The Fosse (now Foss Street) by a flight of steps. It was used as a Guildhall between 1370 and 1480, then in 1494 it was converted into 2 tenements. Leases survive from 1497-1761.
