Near the back of the great Gothic Nave is a modern (1982) chapel to a very old saint not well known on this side of the Atlantic but big with Brits: St. Cuthbert. The Greta Garbo of saints, Cuthbert flip-flopped between life as a hermit vs. being a bishop. As a hermit, he was renowned as a holy man and many sought him out and wanted to elect him as their spiritual leader; when he became one, he couldn't wait to get back to his seclusion. He started on a nearby peninsula (Lindisfarne) that becomes an island at high tide. But that wasn't private enough, so he fled to a more remote island. The king found him there and talked him into returning to public life.)
After his death in 687, Cuthbert was the biggest saint in England until Henry II martyred Thomas Becket a half century later at (where else) Canterbury.
This chapel is dedicated to the Yorkshire volunteers regiment. (More on regimental chapels later). Yorkshire artist Graeme Willson painted the ceiling depicting Cuthbert's vision of heaven. Geometry is characteristic of some of Willson's work such as this one titled "Christ in Majesty with St. Cuthbert and St. George." Supposedly, Cuthbert had such a vision as a young shepherd and soon afterwards became a monk. (The vision's impact may have been short-lived as Cuthbert next became a soldier for several years).
Below is the chapel at eye level. In general, its modernity clashes with the Nave's medieval elegance. However, such the sponsors of such chapters pay for some of the upkeep on the cathedral so they get away with this somewhat like naming rights (rites?) on American stadiums.
Into Birds? As a hermit Cuthbert fled to one of the islands nearby and and established laws to protect the migrating birds -- the earliest bird protection laws. Take that, you Assisians.
