Such a miserable day today so drove off to take shots inside Bradford Cathedral, the use tripods and flash units are not welcome and the light using flash would be to harsh anyway, stuck to long exposure and used my Gorillapod. to steady my camera.
Christians may have worshipped here since Paulinus came on a mission to Northumbria in AD 627. He preached in Dewsbury and it was from there that Bradford was first evangelised. The vicars of Bradford later paid dues to that parish. The Domesday Survey, made in 1086, described Ilbert de Lacy as the Norman lord of the manor. It is likely that he would have had a chapel on his manor and so there may well have been a wooden church here during the Norman period.
@cottiac Thank you Cottia this is only about half the seating in the cathedral I was here at a Carol service just before Christmas and all the seats were filled, as Cathedrals go this one is small:)
@sarasotab Thank you for your comments Robert, during the Cathedral’s extensive re-ordering in 1987 the Nave Organ was dismantled and eventually incorporated into the main case, the Organ console was refurbished in 2014:)
Super image. We are lucky that we were able to go as a group of photographers to Newcastle Cathedral on one of our photo club outings. They were fine with us using tripods and flash etc as long as we put a donation in the collection box. Money talks. ha ha.
This is truly lovely, such a surprise for me, i have intended calling in and have a look see but never got around to it. the soft overcast light has allowed so much detail to come through. it is exquisite.
Thank you for such a detailed narrative, very interesting.
Peter i posted a comment on this image yesterday but it has vanished - so have some other comments i left for other folk, very strange.
@terryliv Ha Ha your absolutely right only problem I was facing the wrong way looking at the door, as always thanks for your lovely comments Terry they are appreciated:)
@stray_shooter Thank you for you comments Ron, the Cathedral staff were very helpful suspect if I had asked as the Cathedral was empty they would have turned a blind eye to a tripod and the use of flash:)
@onewing Thank you for your comments Babs I went with Bradford U3A photographic group in September my first visit into the Cathedral and that's when they told us no tripods or flash, its free to enter and we all made a donation before leaving:)
@jorlam Thank you for your lovely comments the Cathedral is well worth a visit, I was there in September as a member of a photographic group, I posted a shot see the link below, on the issue of comments not appearing against an image, I had a same experience and do still from time to time I discovered I was typing my comment then moving on to the next image I wanted to comment on and forgetting to press enter, still find I miss it now and again, also find my comment have spelling mistakkes and i've wixed my mords up, must be a senior thing:) http://365project.org/pcoulson/365-3/2016-09-06
