Lit à la Polonaise
Taken just before Christmas from the edge of the north transept at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire, England. The transepts form the oldest part of the cathedral, dating from around 1090.
The pinnacle of the "bed", just above centre, is the Octagon Tower lantern which was built in the 14th-century after the original Norman central tower collapsed. It was made with around 200 tonnes of English oak; the 63 ft main structural beams weigh 17 tonnes each.
Ely Cathedral has been used as a location for several major film and TV productions including Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Macbeth, The King's Speach and The Crown.
