Rupert - very nice work. I especially like the last one - at a specific place?
In November last I went to St Albans - what a mess in terms of their modern work and choice of paint. Internally everything was also obscured by piles of chairs, notice boards, coats stands, stored barriers - you name it. No thought that people may want to admire the building or actually look at its relics and artwork. In contrast, our visit to York Minster was a joy.

Yes. I painted it inside Clipston Church near Market Harborough. Even for me, it was too cold outside that day. I know what you mean about Saint Alban's Abbey. It's not the prettiest cathedral by any stretch and does not benefit from the untidiness all about. What made it worse was the fact that the nave was roped off for some music concert and so we tourists were herded into quite a small area. I thought the shrine area was about the most striking part.
