Description Inside the Morning Chapel off the north choir aisle, we find the the baptistry which has, against the east wall, the former altar of St Catherine of Alexandria. On the north-west corner of the altar top is a spewing head with flowing locks. It is rather rubbed and damaged, so that it is hard to identify the foliage type, nevertheless, a pleasing example of the type. Also at Salisbury Many more examples of the green man at the Cathedral and elsewhere In the chapter house, a rare example of a triple head In the nave, a fourteenth-century clock, restored in 1956, formerly in the (now demolished) bell-tower.
