The whole cathedral was built in a time before CAD, lorries and cranes. I still marvel at the octagon every time I see it remembering that much of the cathedral is hundreds of years older!

Medieval masterpiece - NOT amateur radio
Ely Cathedral, UK, is a masterpiece of medieval engineering. It was built about 1000 years ago, but the central tower collapsed in 1322 and was replaced by the octagon tower we see today.

Ely Cathedral - NOT amateur radio
This is probably our favourite cathedral known as the “ship of the fens”. It can be seen from miles away standing proudly on a hill . As locals we get free entry.
