Queen Katherine of Aragon was buried in the north-choir-aisle outside the most eastern arch (1535). This was violated by the Puritans. Dean Patrick says: “First they demolish Queen Katherine’s tomb; they break down the rails that enclosed the place and take away the black velvet pall which covered the hearse; overthrow the hearse itself, displace the gravestone that lay over her body, and have left nothing now remaining of that tomb, but only a monument of their own shame and villainy.” A few slabs were recently found beneath the floor; and a marble stone bearing coats-of-arms and inscription has lately been placed over this spot. In the south-choir-aisle a tablet tells us that here Mary Stuart was buried in 1587, just within the choir. The body was removed to Westminster Abbey in 1612. Remains of the hearse between the pillars were seen as late as 1800. These royal arms and escutcheons were also defaced and torn by the Puritans. The =Transepts= are Norman, and characteristic Norman mouldings are universal. A Perpendicular screen in each separates the transept from a sort of eastern aisle, divided by pillars into chapels. In the =North Transept= the two chapels of St. John and St. James have been thrown into one--now the =Morning Chapel=. Some old Saxon coffin lids are preserved here. The chapels of St. Oswald, St. Benedict, and St. Kyneburga and St. Kyneswitha still remain in the =South Transept=. West of the South Transept we come to the old =Chapter-House= (very small), now a music room. It is late Norman, but it has a Perpendicular doorway. At the north-east corner of the close we come to the =Deanery Gateway=, leading to the Deanery. It is a fine specimen of Late Perpendicular, and was erected by Abbot Kirton (Kirkton), whose rebus (a church on a tun) appears over the side-door. It has a Tudor arch, with the arms of the See in spandrels, and is also ornamented with the Tudor rose and portcullis and the Prince of Wales’s feathers. We gain here a very good view of the north side of the Cathedral. The north side is very fine. The arcading on the side of the tower is identical with that on the west front. Next we must notice the big windows of the western transept, early and fine specimens of cusped and traceried windows. The jambs are very peculiar because one side is Norman with square capitals, and the other side Early English. The arch of the window reaches as high as those of the triforium. Above is a round-headed window, and the gable, surmounted by a cross and bordered with the wavy ornament, contains a rose-window. Pinnacles, resembling those on the west front, adorn the sides of this west transept. The nave rises in five stages: a tier of small lights separates the triforium from the aisle.
