Newcastle Cathedral revisited

The last time I went to Newcastle was when my son was at uni there and we filled in some of the time around the town and in the cathedral. I mentioned misericords (hoping just to get a peek as some cathedrals are very protective to say the least) to one of the attendants and I couldn't get out until he'd shown me every one and even insisted on putting on the lights so that I could see them AND photograph them easier.

As I recall Durham was also very welcoming and also let me photograph the misericords.

I might add that this was about 12 years ago so changes might well have happened (possibly I think, due to the overwelming number of flashes that occur in some sites from hundreds of digital cameras and phones - I do wish that a little decorum would prevail sometimes)

Lovely set David. It is good to see the windows in such detail.

Whilst Chester Cathedral does charge a fiver entrance fee it is very welcoming to photographers.

Wow totally nailed, excellent work!

Here it is Tim; inside Chester Cathedral. This is Brother Ranulf.

Bernard: A guide in Newcastle Cathedral told me the misericords are Victorian but based on medieaval examples. Most of the stained glass in Newcastle is also from the late 1800s, the original Middle Ages glass was destroyed at the time of the Reformation.

It's hard to imagine stained glass being photographed more convincingly, David.
