"Graven images, including
themes of education and schooling, embellish choir stalls in many medieval churches. The
subjects are carved on wooden panels, arm-rests, hand rests, and on brackets beneath the
choir stall seats. The carvings are abundant, even though many have been lost over the
centuries. What remains is of an extraordinary diversity. Some of the imagery expresses
spiritual aspirations; some of it recalls earthy episodes from the clamor of everyday
life."
