I am quite happy to pay to enter them (as a visitor) because if they had no money the buildings would fall into disrepair. The only Cathedral that I have visited that does not require an entrance fee is Durham. This Cathedral does not allow photographs to be taken inside and there is no option to pay for a photography permit! Most Cathedrals require an entrance fee from visitors.

I didn't even know you have to pay to get into this cathedral! There are quite a lot of them that require you to pay in the West Country. Salisbury, Gloucester, Bath Abbey, etc. Ha ha... It must be a local thing. Ha ha.. I didn’t even know you have to pay to get into this cathedral!

Knowing how you like to get into places for free... you should visit over Easter weekend when normal admission charges are wavered. We chose to donate when visited (not when we attended the service) over that weekend. The inside is well worth a visit.

Monty is delightful, I was sad to hear he had been so ill. But he had recovered enough to escort the house guest around his garden ;-) The image of Christ on the Cross is beautiful and magnificent, you would have loved to see the display of fanned light on Easter morning.

The best way for me to explain why my view differs is that it is due to my own spiritual journey. And that is a point for a conversation rather than an essay :-) It was a High Mass, with due reverence and the service was Grand. There are no services like this locally (or at least I have not found one yet). I go on personal pilgrimage journeys to seek out 'Holy' services... The figure of Christ on the Cross is accompanied by Mary his mother on the left and his disciple John on the right. I wish you could have seen the display of the fanned rays of light across this figure of Christ on Easter morning. It was a take your breath away sort of a moment.

Almost as grand as the beautful 'framed' Crucifix flanked by Mary and Joseph (?). What a stunning sight and so deliberate. The only 'downside' from this old Catholic POV was the lady bishop. I shakes me 'ead, even while I tips me 'at to the High Mass and am pleased you had such a pleasant (and Holy) Easter.
