United Kingdom-England 7
Choir and Lady Chapel
 |
The east end of the Minster was built between 1361 and 1405 in the Perpendicular Gothic style. Despite the change in style, noticeable in details such as the tracery and capitals, the eastern arm preserves the pattern of the nave. The east end contains a four bay choir; a second set of transepts, projecting only above half-height; and the Lady Chapel. Most sung services, including the Evensong service, take place in the Quire. Built between 1361 and the 1420s, much of the original structure was destroyed in a fire started deliberately in 1829.
The wider East End houses the newly restored 15th century Great East Window, the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the country.
