Inside, take time to visit :

- the jube which is decorated with statues of 15 kings of England : from William I to Henry VI

- the Chapter House

- the clock with 2 characters carved in oak.

- the keystone of the central tower.

- the chapel of the Blessed Virgin.

- the dragon's head which is actually a bracket for winch used to lift the lid of the baptismal font.

- the stained glass windows. The east window contains the largest area of medieval stained glass windows in the world, although some windows are damaged.

- the tombs with recumbent figures

- the statues
