The Main Knave

This photo is of the Choir Stalls and shows the Rood Screen across the Knave. Under each seat there are carvings called Misericords. Each carving depicts some part of life of Man. For instance Eagle and Child, Elephant and Castle, A man breaking his wife's cooking pot. There are 36 of them. Done about 1489-1494. All different scenes.
