The magnificence of Gloucester, which only became a cathedral under Henry VIII, owes much to the courage of one man, Abbot Thoky. When Edward II was murdered at nearby Berkeley Castle in 1327, three other abbots refused to accept the king's remains, possibly because they disapproved of his reported "unnatural" lifestyle. Thoky accepted the body, risking the displeasure of Edward's many enemies.
Edward's son, Edward III, created an elaborate alabaster tomb for his father, one of the earliest important uses of alabaster in England. People started to visit the shrine, at first out of curiosity, but when miracles were reported at the tomb pilgrims started to visit pour in. And they brought money. Donations from pilgrims enabled the abbey to rebuild the Norman abbey church. The result is a fascinating blend of heavy Romanesque drum piers and perpendicular Gothic tracery.
The nave of the Collegiate and Provostal Church (Stifts- und Propstkirche) in the Lower Rhine county town of Kleve, dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - generally rendered into English by the local tourist authorities as the Minster. There has been a church on the site since 1170. The current building was begun in 1341, consecrated in 1354, with the nave complete by 1394 and the double tower completed in 1426. The church was almost completely destroyed in the bombing of Kleve in October 1944. The nave was rebuilt by 1956 with the towers following by 1969. Although always the main parish church of the city, a result of the decline in priests and church attendance, it is now part of a much larger parish covering most of the churches in the city and western suburbs.
Bristol Cathedral was for many centuries without a nave, something that the Victorians corrected with this masterpiece. View the other way from my last upload.

Bristol Cathedral is one of England's great medieval churches. It originated as an Augustinian Abbey, founded c. 1140 by prominent local citizen, Robert Fitzharding, who became first Lord Berkeley. The transepts of the church date from this period, but its most vivid remains can be seen in the Chapter House and Abbey Gatehouse. The Chapter House is a stunning Romanesque gem dating from c. 1160, one of the most important buildings of its era in the country, with stone walls decorated with a series of intricate, patterned, carvings.
The main glory of the Cathedral is its east end, described by the famous architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner as 'superior to anything else built in England and indeed in Europe at the same time'. This is one of the finest examples in the world of a medieval 'hall church', with the vaulted ceilings in the nave, choir, and aisles all at the same height.
In the 1530s the medieval nave was being rebuilt, but it was never finished because Henry VIII dissolved the abbey in 1539. The buildings might have been lost at this point but Henry began to create a series of 'New Foundation' Cathedrals, and Bristol was included in 1542 - possibly due to successful lobbying from the citizens of the most important trading city after London.
With the 19th century's Gothic Revival signalling renewed interest in Britain's ancient architectural heritage, a new nave, harmonious in style with the eastern end, was added between 1868 and 1877
The shot was taken on 21 December 2021. The shot was taken with a Sony A550 with a Tripod. There is no guidance on the Cathedral Website on the use of Tripods but I was there for some time using a Tripod and received no objection. Taken with a Sigma 10-20mm at 10mm. 3 images for HDR at 0.7 difference. Processed with Photomatix 6 using realistic preset. Verticals were straightened in Photoshop using Lens Correction - Custom - Vertical Perspective. I also used Topaz Clarity

The nave is the central aisle of a basilica church, or the main body of a church.
Inside St. Victor's Cathedral in Xanten - Germany.
One of the greatest extant examples of Norman architecture, it was begun in 1174 by William II of Sicily. In 1182 the church, dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, was elevated to the rank of a metropolitan cathedral. In 2015 it was as part of the Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale made a UNESCO Heritage site.
Today was the Celebration Organ Day at Bath Abbey.
Famous organist Christopher Herrick was there to run a masterclass, lead a discussion and take part in an evening recital.
The screen in the nave (with projector behind) was to allow visitors to see the young organists' hands.
The nave was used by the laybrothers who looked after the day-to-day running of the Abbey, so that the choir monks could devote their lives to prayer. The laybrothers attended fewer services, although they would pray in the fields when they heard the Abbey service bell. As their work was more demanding, they had longer hours of sleep and more to eat. They often worked as shepherds or labourers on the Abbey's farms. Although the laybrothers took monastic vows, they had their own dormitory, refectory and infirmary.
