CHOIR-NORTH AISLE.

The Blessed Virgin is dressed in yellow and white, and is seated 
on a couch with the Holy Infant. They are under an open shed 
which is thatched with rushes, St. Joseph in a red robe and yellow 
shoes with straps and buckles, is sleeping in a chair. Before him 
stands a young woman in a blue gown and white apron. The 
head of an ass appears in the background. Below is shown the 
donor, Archbishop Bowet, kneeling before an altar with frontal 
bearing his shield of three reindeers’ heads. On the altar is a 
figure of the Virgin enthroned. From the archbishop's lips issues 
a label bearing “ flflater 3Bet, ffUscrere,” and below is an imperfect 
inscription, “ Cr .Bofoct, &rc|). ISfoor.” 
The west light shows St. Paul in a blue robe with sword inverted 
and around which is twisted a ribbon. The pedestal on which he 
stands is inscribed “ JScts. PauHtS apostolus.” The subject below 
depicts St. Paul in plate armour and red mantle, falling from a 
white horse at the sight of a flaming tongue in the sky. In the 
distance is Christ in a white garment and between blue angels. 
Underneath, St. Paul in a blue robe is preaching to several per¬ 
sons. In his left hand is a scroll inscribed “ iSstotc prutmites.” 
The next panel shows St. Paul beheaded in the presence of the 
Emperor Nero and attendants. The executioner wears a green 
garment and red cloak, also the legs and feet are clothed in red. 
He holds with both hands a huge falchion which has just severed 
the head from the trunk of the saint. The saint’s soul, in the 
form of a dove, is ascending to heaven, and Christ with extended 
hands is ready to receive it. 
The east light represents St. Peter in blue robe, and with his 
left hand holding a large golden key, and in the right hand is a 
church with spire, surmounted by a bannered cross. Below on a 
scroll is “ J6rs. Petrus Apostolus.” The subject beneath shows on 
the left a ship in which Peter is trying to draw in the net. On 
the right, Peter in a blue garment and with the keys is walking 
with Christ on the water. Christ is in a red robe and holds a 
cross-staff with white banner, and leads Peter by the hand. In 
the next scene Peter is seen behind the prison grated window. 
The jailor, carrying a pair of golden keys over his right shoulder, 
is in a blue robe and stands outside the prison door. The last 
picture shows St. Peter in a white garment, four men are tying 
him with cords to an inverted cross. Two of the men wear green 
coats and the outer two blue ones. The Emperor Nero and 
attendants are looking on.
