Description

The most interesting features include the capitals in the north gallery, although their meaning is still shrouded in mystery. Going with the theory that they represent the Vices and the Virtues, you may recognise the ermine (purity), the porcupine (justice), the dog (loyalty), the owl (wisdom) etc. Also be sure to see the cloister galleries (14C- 15C) embellished with plant motifs and the 14C single-nave church with its three side chapels.
