At Least this Cathedral has Seats
Many of the big churches we've seen in Europe have no seating except for the clerics. No wonder church membership is dwindling. My guess is that this would've been the side of the church where the Bayeux Tapestry would've stretched across the columns back in medieval times. That way the priest in the pulpit could relate the story of the great William the Conqueror's victories while pointing out the scenes depicted on the tapestry.
