Re: Today in pictures

Today I have had a bit of an ecclesiastical day.
So if you do not like church architecture, statues, stained glass and that sort of thing....please look away now.
1) Stained Glass Window
2) The ornate Dome - I know I might have shown you this before, but I think it deserves a second look.
I love the form and the colours.
3) Looking down the centre Aisle. You can see the full splendour of this lovely church.
4) Another stained glass window.
5) The Lady Chapel.
6) Statue of a Saint(I am ashamed to say I don't know who it is though).
7) another one of the Lady chapel Altar.
8&9) morse of the beautiful stained glass.
10) Quick find the beadle...these two are trying to make off with the golden cross. Sorry for the levity. I will now go and say 40 hail Mary's and 16 Our Fathers.

The church is St Wilfrids in the centre of Preston.
