Best wishes for many sales to all,
Thanks, Sue...on my way over!!:)
No, Kingsbridge is quite a small place with no cathedral - though we do have cathedrals in astonishingly small towns... example

Thanks, Madelaine...that link you sent me...wow, what a gorgeous building! Looking at the surrounding town in that pic makes me even more wish I lived in England. You have a beautiful country!Quote:

Described as "the smallest cathedral in Europe", "the second smallest in Europe", "probably the smallest in Europe" depending on who you ask, it has seating for 70 in a town which has barely 1200 residents.
