St David's Cathedral

Internal window in the Holy Trinity Chapel, which allowed the chantry priest celebrating in this chapel to monitor the progress of the simultaneous masses taking place in the other chapels. The window looks into the Lady Chapel.

Left of the window is a modern statue of Giraldus Cambrensis (1146-1227). Note the bishop's mitre lying at his feet instead of on his head — despite his many qualifications, he was never made bishop, due to the Archbishop of Canterbury's fears about the growing power of the Welsh church.
