St Michael’s nave and, behind the windows, the Bedford Chapel. The Chapel is the private mausoleum of the Russell family and the Duke of Bedford. It is under the jurisdiction of the Bedford estates and sadly it is kept locked so the collection of funerary sculpture of the Russell family (later Earls and Dukes of Bedford) covering almost five centuries can only be glimpsed from the nave.
