St. Andrew's Cathedral Interior, Wells, Somerset, England
The Quire seen from its eastern end looking toward the western end which is the oldest part of the current cathedral. There are some elaborately carved misericords under some of the stalls although not accessible by the public. See the last picture on this page.

Looking from the western end of the Quire towards the the East End of the cathedral and into the Lady Chapel. The three bays of the Choir, east of the fifteenth century Bishop's throne, form the Presbytery, which was built in the fourteenth century whilst the three western bays belong to the oldest part of the existing Cathedral.

Unlike most English cathedrals with their blunt East End the partly octagonal eight-sided Lady Chapel, completed by 1326, forms an attractive apse.

This is one of the carved medieval misericords from the Quire showing St. George and the dragon now on display so that visitors can see it.
