VICARS CLOSE. Vicars Choral (originally Deputies of the Canons) have sung in the Cathedral since about 1140. In 1348 they were incorporated as a College of Vicars when the dining hall above this archway came into use. The houses were complete by 1363; the chimneys were raised and crowned about 1470. At the far end is the Chapel, above which was their library.
