Roche Abbey
Founded in 1147, Roche Abbey is the most complete Cistercian abbey
floorplan in the UK. Preserved by the 1920s zeal for landscaping, its
ruins got buried ready for the partial curtain wall re-erection.

| gatehouse |
 |
| used to lead to the gatekeeper's room |
 |
| ok, enough atmospheric shots-the gatehouse |

| the former rood screen |
 |
| the later, not-so-Cistercian sedilla cover |

Wentworth Castle & I learn about group self timer pictures
 |
| Wentworth's front facade |
 |
| the garden and a lovely view of S. Yorkshire dales |
 |
| I honestly have no clue what this is but it's fairly striking |
 |
| quite possibly the best accidental picture I've ever taken-this is me walking back to reposition |
 |
| the actual group picture |

Rotherham Minster
 |
| set on a hill in the middle of town, described as "a visual fulcrum for town centre" |
 |
| you can see the slope of the hill but the minster stands really well-a true perpendicular gothic monument |
 |
| one of the lovely windows |
 |
| really enjoy the silvered timber and gold accent |
 |
| proper organ from 1777 |
 |
| a little hidden but what a great medieval brass! |
 |
| a look down the nave |
 |
| who can fail to be charmed by the excellent carvings on the choir stalls-poppyhead of Three Wise Men |
 |
| main chapel roof |
 |
| a view of the crossing tower |
 |
| clear indication of the age of this minster-this window is part of long abandoned liturgy based upon the sun's position |
 |
| the side chapel's screen and roof |
 |
| very old element in a rather newer place |

Rotherham
 |
| an example of the mock tudor |
 |
| Chapel on the Bridge |
 |
| clearly Rotherham was not really bombed |
 |
| the Old Town Hall now Old Market |
 |
| historical photo showing the cooling towers of the gas works |
 |
| no cooling towers in evidence |
