Under the north-west-window is the canopied =tomb of Bishop Swinfield= (1283-1317). His effigy disappeared long ago, and some unknown figure lies there. The ball-flower is conspicuous in the mouldings of the canopy and behind the tomb there is a mutilated carving of the _Crucifixion_, surrounded by vine-leaves and tendrils, quite similar to the leafage of the Cantilupe Shrine. In a neighbouring recess decorated with the ball-flower lies the effigy of an unknown lady of the Fourteenth Century. The =North-choir-aisle= is entered through the original Norman arch. In the north wall of this aisle in a series of arched recesses (Decorated) lie the effigies of various ecclesiastics. Beyond the first one, =Bishop Geoffry de Clive= (died 1120), a door opens upon the turret staircase leading to a typical monastic =Library=, containing more than 2,000 volumes, MSS. and ancient deeds, the accumulations of eight centuries. These are kept in eighty old oak cupboards and the ancient books are chained. Descending and passing to the corner of the north-east transept we come to =Bishop Stanbery’s Chantry=, a rich example of late Perpendicular, with two windows on the north side. The ceiling is richly groined. The capitals at the corners of the chapel are very grotesque. Opposite the chantry, on the north side of the choir, is the alabaster effigy of Bishop Stanbery (died 1474). In the wall of the aisle above is a =Decorated window=. The glass is in memory of =Dr. Musgrave=, Archbishop of York, previously Bishop of Hereford. The subject is St. Paul, the story of whose life is continued in the windows of the chantry. Immediately beyond, the =north-east-transept= opens. It is Early Decorated, retaining some Norman characteristics. In the centre rises an octagonal pier which helps to carry the quadripartite vaulting, which has good bosses of leafage. This pier gives a peculiar character to this transept. The windows are Early Decorated. The =South transept= retains much that is Norman, although it was altered during the Perpendicular period, when two huge windows were cut into the walls. Perpendicular panelling surrounds that in the south wall. The lierne vaulting is also of the same date. The east wall has five series of Norman arcades. Two Norman windows in the clerestory contribute light. The =Denton tomb=, with its effigies in alabaster showing traces of colour, dates from 1576. The =organ=, in the first archway on the south side of the choir, was the gift of Charles II. It has been twice enlarged.
