Outposts from Heaven

Ely Cathedral Pages of the Lindisfarne Gospel, on display in the British Museum

In the fall of 1997, while taking the train between RSC performances of Cyrano De Bergerac (in Darlington) and Henry V (in Canterbury), I decided to stop off at Yorkminster to take a few pictures. Entirely by luck I chanced to wander in just as a film crew was in the process of shooting the coronation scene for the film "Elizabeth". However, I was later disappointed when I saw the finished product.
