Thanks, eta! I’m so pleased. I think of it as a travel brochure, giving you a quick overview of which ones you might want to tour. Which ones did you see and what were they like to actually be in?

I remember Chester, Exeter, Worchester, Norwich, of course London. I loved the Churches of East Anglia with those terrific angels ceilings...so many memories of good traveling times. I have a Facebook page but it is only for medieval art and buildings, no personal stuff.

I also adore Romanesque buildings and bridges...one phrase that stuck in my mind comes from Pere
Angelico Surchamp on the difference between Romanesque and Gothic: “the Romanesque induces internal experience and reflection; Gothic induces external reflection. Gothic is the demonstration of the belief of spirituality while Romanesque is the experience of that belief.”
