Basílica de la Sagrada Familia — it's such a melding of old and new styles that results in something otherworldly! However, St John the Baptist's Chapel strikes me as the easiest one to keep cobwebs out of!

The lantern at Ely is magnificent. Thanks for the tour!

I'm so thankful for your post. I started looking up at church ceilings when our family was enjoying sabbatical in Scandinavia/Germany in 2016. When I returned, my slide show was heavy on ceilings :) We live around the bend from Wayfarers Chapel. It is in a particularly seismically unstable place (Portuguese Bend), and is currently being dismantled to rescue it from the shifting ground. It will be a loss to many people in this area, who spent quiet moments there or were married there.

I didn’t know that about Wayfarers! I enjoyed seeing it in 2019.

Norwich or St John the Baptist *might* be my favorite--but really I just love that there is such a variety.
