A sunny evening and where better to sit and chat than outside Manchester Cathedral? Or to give it its correct name, the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George. By any name, it can be a peaceful setting.
Although extensively changed in the 19th century, as were so many churches, a Saxon stone with angel carving dating from 700 AD is evidence of the longevity of worship at this site.
The Cathedral grounds used to be a bit of a haven for drinkers and rough sleepers, but that has certainly changed, at least when I popped in there last week.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a nice place to chill now.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely like the chance to sit and chat on that bench! And in 700AD the world was still flat, and my part of it wasn't even imagined much less on the map.
ReplyDeleteWhat an oasis it feels to be.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good new week ahead.
Such a beautiful spot and a beautiful day! LOL at Paul's comment above, we weren't even a dot on a map in 700AD!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very peaceful...
ReplyDeleteNice shot, evoking peace and serenity.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice, peaceful photo! (...and like the others, I'm glad I've been "discovered "!)
