The tiles, the ceiling and the altar frontispiece all work well together. The tiles are fantastic and easily overlooked as is the ceiling.

We watch Antiques Road Trip and they had a tour in this cathedral. We think that was very educational. We love the program. The tiles on the floor are amazing so is the tomb.

Although now it is in ruins so he second choice was more lasting and fitting than his first choice. At the time Beaulieu Abbey would also have been a fitting place for burial.
