Virtual Tour

In the past few days, (Jan 2021), my panoramas using Adobe Flash have stopped working due to Adobe discontinuing Flash. It is a big job to re-create all of these panoramas, so they will be missing for a while. They will be back.

These are temporary panoramas until I re-build
the panoramic virtual tour properly.

The Canon's Stalls

Behind the main altar

Indian Mutiny Window

East Window

I liked this Laing memorial window because of the Mauretania panel.

Mauretania

I recently photographed these and have no details yet.

This window shows Judas with a black halo, his hand on a bag of money, next to the wine too.
This makes me wonder where would the Christian religion be if the wicked Judas had not betrayed his master?

Misericords by Ralph Hedley
"A misericord, (sometimes named mercy seat), is a small wooden shelf on the underside of a folding seat in a church,
installed to provide a degree of comfort for a person who has to stand during long periods of prayer. - Wikipedia.

Yesterday, 20 Aug. 15, I photographed several misericords in the choir that were carved by Ralph Hedley.
Here are a few, there are more misericords here.

. . . and another.

When in Newcastle check out this Industrial Heritage window in
St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral.

It is the most interesting window I have ever seen. It is only a few minutes walk from St. Nic's.

... and few other places of prayer in distant places.
