  • Support Not quite what I'd expect for a picture of a Cathedral, in terms of all the artwork on display etc, but accurate representation of what it would have looked at the time. Nice clean and no issues I can see. gazhiley 13:42, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree, it's not very gothic or flamboyant as far as cathedrals go. It is fundamentally a very old building, but it is very sparsely decorated and not very large (as per the article, the nave was left unfinished with temporary brick wall at the end keeping the rain out for over 50 years - the nave was only finalised and consecrated in 1991), so it doesn't quite have the same grandeur of the other English cathedrals.

  • Oppose Nice photo, but I oppose unless the creator can demonstrate he has permission to publish this photo, a significant portion of which contains art with no-photography signs next to them. Tokugawapants (talk) 23:24, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good Point - there's a lot of potentially unauthorised art work on display. I've struck my vote until someone can say if this is an issue or not. I will then re-vote accordingly. gazhiley 10:34, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Every single work there is de minimis, which means this is fine. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:33, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Very well, then once again I will Support... gazhiley 18:39, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Very interesting. I'd have compressed the edges a bit more, but still acceptable. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:39, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. I only just noticed that my image was nominated (haven't been very active over the Christmas/New Year period). I would have thought that the image of the choir is a more interesting view though. The fact that art was being exhibited in the nave at the time was a bit unfortunate. Agree with Crisco though, it is de minimis in this case. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 16:09, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
