Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary
Somehow we found our way in through the back door on Cathedral Close. At the front door was a friendly verger giving out booklets for Evensong (to include a re-dedication of the British Legion, hence the flags, berets and badges prominently on display). We were also given a weekly notice sheet, but no welcome leaflet (guides available in the shop). £4 photography licences were also available there.
We weren't able to access beyond the nave, but found a window dedicated to Elgar (a statue of him stands proudly on the Green looking across at the Cathedral - this is his terrain). The Cathedral itself seemed rather sepia, but the Millenium Window was worth seeing (the photograph below doesn't do it justice), as was the peaceful cloister garden. And the chapter house was stunning.
Once we had noticed the first one of these, they popped up everywhere!
Obviously the only way to heat your Cathedral in times gone by!

Patterns in sepia!
In the chapter house!
