Continuing our visit to Gloucester Cathedral...
 |
| Later in the visit, I took the elevated perambulatory... |
 |
| Which is where they keep the dress-up stuff |
 |
| His Holiness, Bishop Mark |
 |
| And more of the interpretive stuff |
 |
| Closer-up view of Pope Clement |
 |
| Close quarters in the perambulatory |
 |
| A Saxon sculpture of JC |
 |
| Pigeon-view of east window |
 |
| More interpretive stuff, including the apparent "golfer" |
 |
| Descent |
 |
| Graffiti |
 |
Now in the quire (choir), exquisitely carved, as usual...but, in this
extraordinary case, all 46 of the misericords were open and accessible...
not quite the lurid and lewd versions we prefer, but pretty good
nonetheless |
 |
| Dragon back-biting? |
 |
| Futbol? |
 |
| Driving for a lay-up? |
 |
14th century English wood-carver's impression of what an elephant
must look like |
 |
| Still processing |
 |
| King perhaps not getting the best advice? |
 |
| Among the more colorful chapels...great cathedral! |
