Above the Blue Ceiling


The Minster inspires me. Its massive. It dominates Wimborne. Yet its a warm and friendly place. It's not the architecture that makes it beautiful, it doesn't point to heaven like Salisbury Cathedral. Wimborne Minsters glory is in the texture of the fabric and the ancient craft of the masons.
The East Tower features in my next novel, and in particular the blue ceiling. I got pretty close to it the other day. That was great. But there's a whole lot more up there that few have seen. I've attached a few pics.
