This small doorway in the west wall, nearest the tower and now blocked up inside, contains part of its original oak door, and a beam, possibly from the old oak rood screen. It is preserved because tradition has it that this is the “Wicket Gate” of John Bunyan’s imagination, through which Christian fled for refuge.
