More about this scene

The chapel is famed for its pillar of entwined ribbands. The story is that the chief stonemason went to Italy to study a similar pillar. While he was away, his apprentice worked out how to construct the pillar after having a dream and built it. On his return, the mason was so jealous of his apprentice's work that he struck the boy dead.
