THE MUSICIAN'S GALLERY

The Gallery stretches across the nave, between the last West end pair of arches.

It was erected in 1803 and designed by the architects Austin and Paley.

The front of the varnished wood incorporates nine panels, each painted with a coat of arms and a crest.

The inscription reads:

"The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed".
1 Cor.XV v. 52
