64. ACROSS TO THE SOUTH DOOR LM WG

There is one more window along this South wall before we arrive at the South door. This view across the nave shows how it is placed. This 1883 window by Heaton, Butler and Bayne, London, remembers Mackern. It is a musical window, and from left to right shows Jubal Playing the organ, King David Playing the Harp (Lyre), and King Solomon.

65. SOUTH AISLE AND BELLS BOARD LM LM

This view looks back down the South aisle – we can see the Westropp Memorial in the South transept. Close by here is an information board about the Cathedral bells. The Cathedral now has a peal of eight bells, as well as a set of mini-bells.

66. ST GEORGE’S CHAPEL LM

There is one final chapel for us to investigate – the St George’s Chapel, or the Glentworth Chapel as it is now called. Its main feature is the tomb of Lord Glentworth, but it also has two stained glass windows, and a lovely ceiling.   

67. LORD GLENTWORTH TOMB LM

Edmund Henry Pery, 1st Earl of Limerick PC (1758 – 1844), styled Lord Glentworth between 1794 and 1800, and Viscount Limerick until 1803, was an Irish peer and politician.

68. CHAPEL WINDOWS LM WG

There are two windows in this chapel: one in the North wall, and the other in the west wall. A display board gives us information about these windows. The first window is something of a mystery, because it is not known in whose memory it was erected. The West facing window is in memory of Lord Glentworth’s son.

69. CHAPEL CEILING LM

This chapel has a particularly interesting ceiling.  

70. PARTING VIEW LM

This completes our tour of St Mary’s Cathedral, and we return to the back of the nave, recalling our first impression, now enriched by many later discoveries.
