On entering the Chapel for the first time, the visitor can best observe the full sweep of the building from the west end in front of the organ. From this vantage point the eye is drawn to the east end of the building and the main alter.
    In the Main Chapel, one immediately notes that the seats for the congregation face each other. This arrangement follows the monastic origin of collegiate chapels in England. Since monks' services included frequent antiphonal reading of services including, alternating by sides, the seats were arranged to facilitate such practice.
