The Chapter House was built between 1275 and 1290, and is situated north of the cathedral's choir. It is connected to the north-east corner of the north transept by an L-shaped vestibule. The Chapter House has eight sides, seven of which have large five light windows with stained glass. Under the windows the walls are surrounded by niche seats under octagonal canopies. The back piers are Purbeck marble, and the capitals have foliate carvings. The stops on the canopies have carved heads, and at the top of the gables are foliate carving.
