Also massive shoutout to bishops Speke (spike) and Oldham (owl-ham) for having their chantries covered in carved hedgehogs and owls respectively. Never wanted my own chantry more. The real Archbishops of Banterbury.

Mediaeval Nonsense 14/10, tip-top. A boss depicting a fox having his balls bitten off by birds, a painting of the patron saint of dentists, England's earliest carving of an elephant. It's on a miserichord, obviously. Never forget the miserichords.

Story 10/10, not bad. They spirited away the OG manuscript of The Wanderer (Tolkien's fave) and a lot of very cool mediaeval galss before Hitler could bomb it. GG. RIP to Tom the Cat, only casualty of the raid :-(

#Aesthetic 10/10, not bad. Longest uninterrupted vaulting ceiling in the country but also kind of small and cute. Get you a Cathedral that can do both. Crisp combo of chunky Norman towers and delicate Decorated nave/chancel.
