Salisbury cathedral was fascinating. It was built correctly in the 11th century,
then 50 years later they added a very heavy spire. The columns started to bend
outwards from the extra weight and they retrofitted all sorts of extra bracing.
You can still see the bend in the columns!
And there, in the chapel of the prisoners of conscience, was another window by
Gabriel Loire of Chartres who did the windows for our home parish, Christ
Church, Los Altos! It seems that we run
across his work on every trip.
