The Chapel, designed in the 'perpendicular' Gothic style much favoured in England at the time, was built in the shape of an inverted 'T': that is, it has a chancel, to the right in the picture, and transepts, which form the antechapel, but no nave. The spacious antechapel would, before the Reformation, have included six side-altars.

The original reredos (east wall) of the Chapel dates from the 1440s, although what we now see may have been reworked in early Tudor times. Its niches contain statues of apostles, saints, bishops, and monarchs, arranged in rows on either side of a Crucifixion scene just above the altar, and a Last Judgement high up under the roof. The original statues, destroyed in the sixteenth-century Reformation, were not replaced with the present Gothic imitations until the late nineteenth century.
