However, we plan to visit friends near Lancaster one day, so maybe that will be doable. We’ll keep that in mind.

As I watched I tried to recall whether Worcester was one of the dozen or so we explored on our trip through England as our daughter entered 11th grade. I thought I recognized it when you got to the chapter house and back outside, but looking at the map, Worcester is a bit to far northeast of where we traveled. <br /><br />The crypt is a special treat. I wonder what stood above it when it was built. I don’t recall seeing Norman stone work so well-preserved and crisp and refined. Your study of a main pier and its details is especially beautiful. Your pictures make clear clear that no matter how early this church was, it’s soul is High Gothic.<br /><br />Never-the-less after looking at your photos I feel I’ve been there. Another gem! I hope you were there when the angels were singing. You wondered if you could worship in such a place. It’s an irrelevant question to me; I don’t worship, but the sound of the organ and choir in places such as this can certainly lift my spirit and leave me in awe of being.<br /><br />This one was a special treat. I wonder if you have ever made it as far north as Durham, one of my favorite places in the world and nicer by virtue of its seclusion than York. We got there on a second trip in which we landed in Manchester and drove north into Scotland. You’ve definitely whet my appetite for returning.<br />Ted Rothhttp://rothphotos.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-59194833745436252532014-06-11T15:16:29.271+02:002014-06-11T15:16:29.271+02:00Oh, yes, Philine.
