More about this scene
Intricately carved stalls enclose the choir in a rich setting. The superb wood carving dates from 1380, and on the misericords it depicts vivid scenes of medieval life and legend. A careful restoration programme of the cathedral was undertaken by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the eminent Victorian architect; here in the sanctuary he placed a suspended ironwork cross, which has since been removed.
