the c13 retroquire is an early experiment in hall church design, and gives the impression of being in a forest of columns. it was probably not started until the quire was roofed, maybe not until c.1250 or so.

the tower in its external upper stages is by yevele [c.1393] with the pinnacles and chequer work of the c15. a lot of the outside was renewed by gwilt and then wallace in the early c19, with the current new nave being built in 1890-7 by blomfield, a safe pair of hands but never going to set the world on fire.

eagle lectern of late c15. like many of these that i've looked at this eagle has a rectangular hole in its tail, though whether this is for peter's pence, who knows, after all , wouldn't money put into the beak end up in the legs?
