The Nave, Chester Cathedral.
The South side (right) of the Nave was commenced around 1360, however, because of the Plague which swept Europe at this time, further work was delayed for approximately 130 years. Therefore, the North side (left) of the Nave dates from around 1490 but there are actually very few visible differences between the two sides.

These 14th century carved oak stalls date from around 1380 and are without question the finest in the country. The canopies over the stalls have to be seen to be believed.
