This temple has been known as Wat Chana Songkhram, วัดชนะสงคราม. One of the largest chedis in Sukhothai is found at the Wat Chana Songkhram, located immediately North of the Wat Mahathat. The temple was probably built in the 14th century. Its name translates to “temple of the won war”. A very large bell shaped chedi in the Sukhothai style sits on a square base. In front of it to the East is the viharn, of which the base and pillars remain. The Buddha image that sat on the pedestal to the back of the viharn is no longer there. Flanking the principal chedi are two well preserved smaller chedis in a different style, their upper part consisting of receding storeys. The two chedis were probably built much later during the Ayutthaya period. To the back are the remains of an ubosot or ordination hall surrounded by sema stones that mark the sacred area. Around the ubosot were a number of smaller chedis, of which just the base remain today.
