Two views of the flags in Winchester Cathedral. Can't you see them? On the ground - flagstones. The retroquire, the area behind the altar, contains the largest surviving expanse of 13th century tiles in the UK. I thought you would probably have seen enough flags waving in the wind. Besides, I've never been able to photograph one successfully.
As you read this, I will be making my way back to that part of the world, so I will have to pay my visits to you a little late this weekend.

Thanks for the creative take, A. And yeah, I do expect to see lots of flags waving in the wind this week... ;b

ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons I like old buildings, the history is in the stones they can talk if you just know how to listen to their story.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to have taken so long to thank you all for your very kind comments. I hope and think I have visited you all in return. If not, please excuse me. It has been a busy week, one way or another.
