A dark January day found us in Gloucester Cathedral where lights were switched on to pierce the darkness within. This cathedral has a large amount of medieval and later stained glass, and there's no doubt that this deepens the gloom necessitating more lighting than would be needed if there were more clear glass windows. In this view of the choir and presbytery a further impediment to internal brightness can be seen blocking the lower part of the east window, namely the Lady Chapel. At Gloucester, unusually, it is the easternmost part of the cathedral.
