The South Porch was built between 1405 and 1424. The Porch has two tiers of niches, carried on round the South West Buttress, the lower square headed, the upper gabled to the west, canopied towards the south. All was renewed in 1862, and filled with statues. However, internally its liern-vault, its carved bosses and shafted inner doorway were not altered.
