It is probably to this altar that reference is made when we find some speak as if there were a lady-chapel in existence before the present one. At Leofwin's death his body was buried in the church, and to it he bequeathed his entire property. Alderman Brithnoth, a man of great rank and eminence, and of great reputation as a soldier, was another considerable benefactor.
