Lady Chapel
 |
The impressive Lady Chapel was completed by 1326. This elongated octagonal design was revolutionary, with a spectacular star shaped vault, showing Christ in Majesty at its center and the rays of the star stretching to all the corners. The delicate window mullions and traceries were filled with brightly coloured glass, broken during the civil war and possibly by the soldiers of Monmouth’s Rebellion(1685). Four of the windows are now filled with fragments of broken glass, not all originally from the Lady Chapel, and the east window was restored in the middle of the 19th century.
