I had it pointed out to me the classic builders mistake of starting from two ends and working your way in. A careful observation of the roof shows the attempt to obfuscate the error. The stained glass windows are spectacular and contain two styles of origin which is quite novel. The top teir is original and English but the bottom is French and depicts the people of Paris in the time of Marie Antoinette. How it obtained the glass was I'm told a donation from a very unlikely source. If you want to know then visit and all will be revealed. And absolute gem in the middle of nowhere. Completely unspoilt.
If you like visiting old church buildings it one to put on your list!
The curators and other are very helpful.
Go to the gift shop outside the Minster for your trinkets there is a better selection.
We also enjoyed an absolutely delightful lunch in the restaurant.
