To finish this set here's a handheld #vertorama looking up and down the nave. Handheld is always a gamble - and there's a lot of post.

4/5 Southwark Cathedral ...
has some well-preserved/restored momuments. This shows Alderman Richard Humble (d1616) , and his two wives Elizabeth and Isabel.
From the ‘Southwark School’ of monuments made by a group of Flemish refugee sculptors who lived on Bankside.
I always like to include a #blackandwhite image in a set from a church as they bring out the patterns of light and shade..
The magnificent altar screen was first erected in 1520, but like much here is as much 19th/20th century as medieval. The gilding dates from 1930 and most figures were carved from 1905.
1/5 Southwark Cathedral
This week snaps from #SouthwarkCathedral. It only became a cathedral in 1905 and is often overlooked in the city of St Paul's and Westminster Abbey, but it dates from 1220 (though reconstructed in the late 19th century).
