Inner west door. A magnificent 15th century oak door, ornate with iron studs and a crosspiece in the centre, and part of the old closing-ring. The shot holes in the outer face were made by bullets, believed to have been fired by Cromwell's soldiers as the Royalists sought refuge within the church after they had been routed at the battle of ‘Barrow Green’ . A short length of chain fixed to the wall in the south Aisle suggests that the Roundheads used this to tether their horses .
