The squint window gives a view from the outside of the priest blessing the water & wine and holding it up for all to see. In medieval times lepers (& others with various skin diseases) weren't allowed into church. Seeing the raised bread & wine was the most important part of the Service. The extension to build this chapel was wider than the rest of the older south aisle as may be seen here. | Sqint window
