It was a cold grey day, yet the cathedral was filled with light. The glass surrounding the high altar, had been removed for restoration and had been replaced with clear plain glass. This bathed the cathedral in light, and as you gazed up the aisle, you could see the trees beyond, holding onto their last few leaves as winter takes it's hold.
This amazing medeival angel was found when excavations were undertaken for the installation of the Nave altar platform. It was just amazing. Perhaps the most holy part of the cathedral for me, was St Chad's chapel, up in the roof of the cathedral, a haven of peace and of quiet, where one could imagine spending many hours in contemplation.
