one. Originally, the road that the chapel was located on was called Stammergate, but it is now called Magdalens Road. The chapel is some north east of the cathedral in Ripon, close to the River Ure, and on the opposite side of the road to what was the hospital site. Its relative remoteness from the cathedral is believed by scholars to be because of its function as a leper hospital. At that time, the hospital was set in countryside and less built up than it is in modern times. When "Leprocy[sic] became less prevalent, it was converted to the use of brethren under the governance of a master". At the west end, the chapel has a single buttress and a bellcote above the door. The west end also had another building adjoining it which was the leper-house. It is unknown when this was demolished, but the chapel now stands alone. Parts of the chapel, particularly on the westward side, are in the Early English Style, with other parts being Norman and Perpendicular. The length of the chapel is , its width as , and its height . The chapel has been described as an "oblong parallelogram....with no tower, aisles, porch, or vestry." The west end of the chapel is said to be the only original part of the building; the east end, with its tessellated floor, was rebuilt after a devastating raid by the Scots in 1321. The tessellated floor underneath the altar is thought to have partially come from a Roman building, as excavations of Roman-period structures in the region have revealed similar designs. The windows on the east side are Perpendicular, with the single trefoiled window on the west side said to be Early English. Set in the middle of the north wall is a smaller window which is believed to have been a lychnoscope, which has been adapted into a normal window. The font, of Norman origin, was returned to the chapel after being used as a water trough. The original building was made from gritstone, but renovations, particularly those in the 15th century, have seen the use of hammer-dressed limestone. The religious authorities did not own any quarries in Ripon, but there are records of vast quantities of stone being bought from William de Kirkby in the late 14th/early 15th centuries. Whilst most of this was undoubtedly intended for the rebuilding of the cathedral, it is
