Plan of Chapter House with Seward's numbering

The Chapter House of Southwell Minster is famous for the carvings that adorn the passage, vestibule, and the chapter house itself. They are largely of foliage, executed so realistically that the species can often be identified. The botanist Albert Seward published a detailed description of the carvings and their identification in 1935 and Nikolaus Pevsner wrote the classic description entitled The Leaves of Southwell, with photographs by Frederick Attenborough, in 1945. Seward presented a numbering system for the capitals and tympana of the Chapter House which was also used by Pevsner. Many of the images in this category use this numbering system.
