 | | The angel choir, of the decorated period, is behind this, and comprises the altar and retrochoir. |
 | | The three towers, dating from the decorated period, once sported wooden spires, the tallest, central one being over 500 feet high and visible from the across the Wash on a clear day. |
 | | A highly decorated west front, sadly missing many of the hundreds of figures but still magnificent, greets the visitor, and leads into the nave, with a fine plain vault and the unusual scissor arches at the crossing, inserted after the tower was heightened and the foundations started to move in the 16th century. |
