I like the high windows that shut out the view of the world but let the light in. The whole cathedral is so beautiful, so solid and yet so airy; so intricately adorned and yet so simple in overall design. Great view from the college.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816796977553847916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-63448584540465821852012-04-19T20:38:06.443+01:002012-04-19T20:38:06.443+01:00So amazingly pretty-I hope to see it someday!

The carved Stations of the Cross must be magnificent; the one example you showed certainly is. (How about a future post featuring all of them?) This building alone is sufficient justification for a trip to Cambridge. And thank you, Granny Sue, for getting John started.Wayfarin' Strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806995797136803377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-68582587811058783202012-04-19T15:48:07.717+01:002012-04-19T15:48:07.717+01:00What a great collection of photographs of a beauti...What a great collection of photographs of a beautiful church!
