The Great Nave and two Choirs
The Great Nave was very seriously damaged by the bombardments. Several bays of the vaulting fell in, leaving bare the timber-work of the roof in ruins.
On entering the Cathedral by the Central Portal in the North Front (see [p. 43]) the old Choir (photos, [p. 44]) is on the right, and the Great Choir with ciborium ([p. 45]) on the left.
