This #woodensday sees one of our most celebrated 15th Century roof bosses: The Devil Swallowing Judas

[SCHeritageEvents @SCHeritageEvent]

@RevHarrietJ To be honest, that sounds even nicer and much more romantic! Our guidebook currently states it was a roof beam but this may be outdated info so thank you for the heads-up :)

This #woodensday feast your eyes on the beautiful Madonna and Child by sculptor Peter Eugene Ball, carved from an old roof beam and installed in the Cathedral in 1989.

Vivat Regina! Our stunning Diamond Jubilee window looking happy & glorious in the retrochoir. Designed by Icelandic artist Leifur Breidfjord, as @deansouthwark says: ‘Even on the darkest day it shines brilliantly.’ 10 years on, we hope you all enjoy a splendid #PlatinumJubilee!
