Thanks for all the C&Cs on 'Most Beautiful' (Cartmel Priory).
This image shows two of the twenty-five 15th century misericords on the underside of the ledges or seats in the stalls of the main choir at Cartmel Priory.
Best wishes,
Philip

Quote: They don't do graffiti with such style as they used to! Those letters are beautifully carved!
Raised in the Church of Scotland, so forgive my ignorance. What is a misericord?

Hello Ann,
A misericord is a ledge projecting from the underside of a hinged seat in a choir stall that, when the seat is turned up, gives support to someone standing. The ledges are often elaborately carved.

Quote: Excellently captured image, beautiful detail and colour. It's not easy without flash and tripod.. I wonder how you managed at such long exposure...great work.
Hi Jasmine,
The choir stalls had a convenient desk in front of them that made for a perfectly angled camera rest.
