Chapel of the Winter Choir
At the far side of the transept, to the right of the apse, is the so-called Chapel of the Winter Choir. It has this name because the collegiate priests serving the church used to chant the Divine Office here in winter, when the main church could get too cold for comfort. Over the entrance is the coat-of-arms of Cardinal Henry Stuart, Duke of York who renovated the choir chapel in 1759.
