Interactive 360˚ Panorama of Lichfield Cathedral Lady Chapel

If this image is viewed on the Flickr website it will display as an interactive panorama. It will begin to rotate automatically, but you can click and drag on it to rotate it left, right, up or down. The image covers the entire 360˚ view, including the ceiling and the floor.

 

If it's viewed on the Flickr mobile app, the image will not be interactive. Instead, it will display as a static equirectangular projection of the spherical panorama. This is just like many world maps, where the further you go towards the top and bottom edges, the more stretched the image becomes.

 

Lichfield Cathedral, in Staffordshire, England, is a gothic cathedral built between 1195 and 1340. It's the only medieval English cathedral with three spires.

 

The building suffered severe damage during the English Civil War of 1642–1651, in which all of the stained glass was destroyed. In spite of this, the windows of the Lady Chapel contain some of the finest medieval Flemish painted glass in existence. Dating from the 1530s, it came from the Abbey of Herkenrode in Belgium, in 1801, having been purchased by Brooke Boothby when that abbey was dissolved during the Napoleonic Wars.
