This unique Minstrels' Gallery is carved with fourteen angels playing musical instruments. In fact this is a screen in front of a room which acts as an echo chamber and it is pierced so that the sound can float down into the nave below. At Christmas and various other occasions choristers still use this to create a remarkable disembodied sound.
