More of the south side of the choir remains than the north, together with a small amount of the transept and the wall at the east end.

In many ecclesiastical buildings which are not in a state of ruin, the choir area provides a rich source of interest, and sometimes amusement in the study of misericords.

The monks used to have to a number of services each day, and some went on for a long time so someone had the idea of designing a special folding seat for the choir. When folded down it formed an ordinary wooden seat. When folded up the front edge made a ledge just wide enough to rest the weight on - while still seeming to be standing....

The undersides of misericords very often have fascinating carvings of biblical characters, strange beasts and amusing scenes. Unless you lift up the seats you will not even know that they are there!
