The architecture is stunning the cathedral is immense.

I love to hear stories of holy people whose earthly bodies remain unspoiled in this way.

I am seemingly endlessly amazed by old architecture.

There are some wooden painted ceilings round and about the country.

The size of the building is awe inspiring and the artwork is exquisite

The ceiling is the work of two artists.

Information from the Cathedral guidebook informs that the first six panels are the work of Henry Styleman Le Strange who sadly died before his work was complete. The further six panels are the work of Thomas Gamber Parry. The style of the two artists differ; Parry uses stronger colours and richer compositions, his supporting figures extend over the borders whereas Le Strange left them freestanding.

Look at the ceiling!
Is it painted timber?
I don’t often see painted wooden ceilings here.

Oh I just remembered one – Waltham Abbey in Essex.
