I reckon your use of HDR works here, it's quite sparing, it doesn't try to peer into every dark corner.
The Galilee Chapel at the west end replaced the Lady Chapel at the east end, behind Cuthbert's tomb, because that one kept falling down. At the time this was assumed to be because Cuthbert didn't like having women anywhere near him, so they were confined to the west end. In fact it's because the monks were trying to build on unstable soil rather than the solid rock that's under the rest of the cathedral. Eventually they twigged and dug down further to build the Chapel of Nine Altars. They still made a mess of the vaulting in it - did you notice?

It might seem strange, but when I'm shooting, or preparing to shoot, I don't appear to register scene specifics such as you mention here, Moira, only the overall picture/effect. So, the short answer is, no, I didn't.
I'll remember to look next time, whenever that may be, and thanks for the tip.
I agree it was done to death a few years back but you have judged it very well here.

Everything in moderation - especially when it comes to photographic effects. You have been moderation personified here, and it works well.
Very well photographed, Bob.
