More photos taken in Durham Cathedral

In the cathedral's south quire aisle, there is the beautiful 'Transfiguration' window. It was designed by Tom Denny and installed in 2010 in memory of Michael Ramsey, former Bishop of Durham and Archbishop of Canterbury.

The window is opposite the entrance to the shrine of Saint Cuthbert. He is buried beneath a simple stone slab that bears his name in Latin - CVTHBERTVS. There is a colourful canopy above the grave that depicts Christ in glory.

There is a connection to Whitby in the cathedral. The icon of Saint Hild shows an image of her surrounded by 13 scenes from her life. These include her birth, the building of the monastery at Whitby, her presence at its synod, her gifts of charity to the poor, her encouragement of Caednon as a poet, her counselling a king, her advising a number of bishops, and, ultimately, her death.Lue lisää
