Inside the Cathedral

detail on some of the remaining choir stalls


The nave, where the regular people would have been. In medieval times there were no pews, and there were alters for saints.

I didn't see a date on this, but I thought it was pretty fabulous.

Lovely effigies of a man and wife.

Another view. I thought it was quite interesting how part of the cloth from the man swoops down and touches the woman's dress. (Earl & Countess of Strathearn)

This is inside the square tower - a place for an alter.




This fellow was Bishop Clement, I believe.
