Original – The interior of St Etheldreda's Church, facing the eastern stained glass windows and altar
Reason
It's a simple but beautiful small medieval church dating from the 13th century, and the oldest surviving Catholic church in London. The image itself is high resolution and interesting, showing the dark interior and the stained glass windows well.

  • Support – Funereal atmospherics. Fascinatingly complex history at St Etheldreda's Church, including a shocking 16th century use of the crypt. Sca (talk) 14:04, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Haha, but having been in the crypt, I can tell you it would have made a pretty atmospheric pub! I didn't get a photo though as it was kind of being used as a miscellaneous room and wasn't really very photogenic. Strangely enough, the crypt is actually the entrance to the building. You cross the crypt, go through a door on the far left and then go up the stairs to the actual church. Perhaps the land has been excavated since the church was built. That's the opposite of what seems to have been the case elsewhere in London, where Roman ruins were undiscovered for over a thousand years 5 metres underneath the ground level of existing buildings.

    • I can arrange the monkey. Once I've cut an outline around him, it's not too difficult to put him in all my churches... deal? :-) Ðiliff «» (Talk) 17:47, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm not sure I like your cavalier attitude to monkey placement; it doesn't make Wikipedia an inviting place for primate editors. Belle (talk) 13:10, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
