Wow, it’s been almost a week since I last posted, sorry about that – don’t forget – I post every day on my 366 project. Today’s picture is of the entrance to the Norman Church at Elsenham – St Mary’s.
Continuing our look back at Ely Cathedral, here we look down the nave towards the altar (and the Octagon Tower).
Back between Christmas and New Year I visited Ely Cathedral and took this shot of the key to the Octagon Tower – well worth a visit…
