I mean, how many cathedrals can you find around here that are even <i>three</i> hundred years old, let alone <i>thirteen</i> hundred!<br /><br />Along with Midwest to Midlands, I recommend the book 'Notes From a Small Island' by Bill Bryson. What a fun book! :-)Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-64883438463021253782010-11-01T11:05:09.544-05:002010-11-01T11:05:09.544-05:00More places to add to my list when we go back!

Very thorough research you do and report! As your husband says it is a small island - yet it packs in a lot of history. have you read Bill Bryson's book - Notes from a Small Island? To answer your question it gets down to about 0 Centigrade in the winter, not usually much snow, but last winter was the worst in 30 years. It is a damp cold here, but nothing compared to Wisconsin winters, it's just that you are prepared for it in Wisconsin.Midwest to Midlandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251533810918077310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-57874581666330191102010-10-30T08:02:24.497-05:002010-10-30T08:02:24.497-05:00If you're interested in learning if there'...If you're interested in learning if there's a connection between Ripon, Yorkshire and Ripon, Wisconsin, try this: http://www.riponmainst.com/riponmainst/hist.htmlCranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-83781775256536501702010-10-30T01:03:35.470-05:002010-10-30T01:03:35.470-05:00A Great set of pictures and stories.

It's always nice to see some different viewpoints inside cathedrals as everyone including myself becomes "over awed" into photographing the standard views. It's interesting that although the Cathedral is a bit smaller in comparison to the town, it is still a grand building as the shots you have taken here...prove. I like the last two pictures of the town as well.<br />It may surprise you to know, even though you have seen my photos of Ripon cathedral at night (passing back through from Grassington), that I have never been to Ripon in the day time since childhood...that answers the question you asked about my interior Cathedral shots which I didn't forget about. I was in Masham last week for another walking group moment and Leyburn is another place on my list to visit. (thanks to my Lakes & Scotland trip, I'm 5 weeks behind in my posts, so a few other things are coming first)J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-37334310201287987382010-10-30T00:48:56.040-05:002010-10-30T00:48:56.040-05:00They just don't make buildings like that anymo...They just don't make buildings like that anymore...<br /><br />It is amazing how connected everything was back then.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693160339334116500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-79838446499401199172010-10-29T22:05:58.418-05:002010-10-29T22:05:58.418-05:00Did you get to the library in London where they ha...Did you get to the library in London where they have the original Lewis Carroll Alice?
