@curatorkate.bsky.social@curatorkate.bsky.socialArches galore and an incredible ceiling - stunning! 🤩 ❤️ Ely Cathedral, Cambridgeshire.
@curatorkate.bsky.socialI’m not 100% sure, but would think so. Sorry, that’s not very helpful 😂
@curatorkate.bsky.socialAn early 14th century(!) oak window, once in Prior Crauden’s study. How amazing is that?! 🤩😮 Ely Cathedral, Cambridgeshire
@curatorkate.bsky.social😂
@curatorkate.bsky.socialThanks ☺️ Yes, it’s an impressive building!
@curatorkate.bsky.socialI’ve seen a lot of great historic doorways…this has to be one of the best! The 12th century Prior’s Door in Ely Cathedral 🤩 There’s lots of medieval painted decoration still in the cathedral and I’m sure this would once have been brightly coloured too, really bringing that intricate detail to life 😀
@curatorkate.bsky.socialLooks beautiful!
@curatorkate.bsky.socialThe totally stunning ceiling in the (equally stunning room) in Bishop West’s Chantry Chapel, Ely Cathedral 😍 The detail and surviving colours are amazing! West was chaplain to Henry VII and a diplomatic envoy to Henry VIII.
@curatorkate.bsky.socialAbsolutely! 😂
@curatorkate.bsky.socialAnd the 12th century doorway…
@curatorkate.bsky.socialThe impressive and unusual Monk’s Door in Ely Cathedral, Cambridgeshire 🤩
@curatorkate.bsky.socialIndeed - when not just completely plastered over as many were.
