It's about time I submitted something from my growing backlog so here's one from a little while back...

The Roman Catholic theological college was founded in 1808 and finally closed in 2011.

I made 2 visits within the space of 10 days, due to forgetting to attach the tripod plate onto the base of my camera the first time. Lesson learned!

For fans of uber-decay and religious icons this is a treat  :p

And on to the St Cuthbert's chapel. I was a bit gutted that the pews had very recently been tampered with in a serious way, however there was plenty of wonderful stuff to appreciate.

I have to say I was totally mesmerised with this statue and ended up taking shots from every angle. To sum up the idea of beauty in decay in one shot, personally I think this would nail it -

Peace be upon you brothers and sisters....

Love the close ups of the stone work. I really liked this place, trashed but still had something about it. Never saw the chapel though :(  that ceiling, arch & stained glass is impressive. Nice work (y)
