Interior Access
The crowning glory of the interior of St Macartan's Cathedral is the magnificent wooden hammerbeam roof. This elaborate roof is supported on carved corbels depicting saints placed between the clerestory windows. Most of the original fittings were destroyed during a renovation in the 1980s with unsuitable modern alternatives installed. One of the remaining pieces in the west end organ loft with its magnificent Telford Organ in front of the rose window. All of the massive columns separated in the nave and aisles have carved capitals and the wooden railings between them has original brass light fittings and mounts. The chancel is flanked by four side altars of 2 bays length. The apse is polygonal (as is the baptistry) and lit by tall lancet windows. With the exception of the rose windows in the transepts, all the windows contain stained glass by Meyer.
