On each side of the great nave, below the longitudinal arcades and between the second and third pillars, are two bronze tombs supported by lions. These are the tombs of the two bishops who founded the Cathedral, and who are represented on large rectangular tablets, wearing chasuble and mitre. Beautifully executed, they are practically the only remaining specimens in France of early funeral sculpture.
To the left, is the tomb of Geoffroy d’Eu, deceased in 1230 (3 on plan).
To the right (2 on plan): that of Evrard de Fouilloy, who died in 1222 (photo opposite).
The pulpit of painted and gilded wood belongs to the end of the 18th century. It backs up against one of the northern pillars and is carried by three tall statues representing the virtues: Faith, Hope, and Charity.
The Aisles
The aisles are extremely lofty, the keystones of the vaults being richly sculptured.
Chapels added in the 14th century terminate the aisles.
