The Clerestory is quite fabulous.  It has 8 pairs of tall 3-light windows with extravagant tracery.  On the inside the windows have plaster work flowers on the reveals, and are flanked by shafting.  Above the chancel arch there is a recess the size of a clerestory window.  It has two bearded figures on pedestals each side and a substantial pedestal for a statue in the centre.  This position has been vacant since all images were abolished from English churches in 1547 except for a short period when someone illegally put a plaster statue of the Virgin Mary there.
