St. Catherine's chapel has a particularly interesting section of fan vaults above it.
As you can see these fans are extensive and display a remarkable level of craftsmanship.
The Trinity Chapel dates from 1430 to 1460 and was endowed for a priest of the nearby Abbey to say masses for the souls of Kings and Queens.[7] It contains a squint which enabled the priest to synchronise the celebration of mass with that at the high altar.[8] (Wikipedia)
Since there are lots of windows and openspaces here, wall space for memorials is scarce. As a result, when there is a corner, it is filled with tributes.
Although the stained glass is more recent, it does a good job of fitting well with the medieval window frames.
