The north chapel holding the tomb of the 1st Earl of Salisbury Robert Cecil was added in 1618 by his son. The third Marquess had the interior of the chapel adorned with Venetian mosaics by Salviati in 1871.
The Caen marble reredos showing the Marys at the Cross, flanked by St. Etheldreda and St. Alban on either side was carved by Thomas Earp. It was also decorated with Venetian mosaics by Salviati.
