5/5 #SouthwarkCathedral

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..

2/5 #SouthwarkCathedral

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).

And so, when I step inside and the nave stretches out towards the chancel, I see it unencumbered, without expectation - through the eyes of a beginner. The impact is almost overwhelming.
