Look for the elephant..........
by leics
Medieval monks were allowed to use 'misericords' (small wooden ledges to rest one's buttocks on) to keep themselves focused and comfortable through the long hours of prayer. Many were beautifully carved. The one in the picture has been put on show because it is an interesting example of how the Medieval mind worked. The woodcarver had probably never seen an elephant, and obviously did not know what its feet looked like. So he gave it the feet he thought it would have; if you look closely, you'll see this elephant has the hooves of an ox!
Cathedral Close
by freya_heaven
The houses surrounding the cathedral are beautiful, most dating back to the 1500s. originally built to house the clergy, including the Bishop. Today many of them still do, particularly on the left of the Cathedral. The rest have been made in to shops, pub, hotel, restaurants etc. all very much kept within the traditional theme, with this being a listed area.
Within the Cathedral walls there is a small park area, I have had many a picnic snack or lunch here, its a great place to hang out & people watch in the summer.
