There was originally a 2 storey Anglo Saxon church on this site of which an 11th century nave and 2 windows survive. It was altered in the 12th century by the Normans who added aisles. There is a chancel and arch of the 13th century while wider aisles and the tower were built in the 15th century. The rood screen (also choir screen or chancel screen) is a common feature in late medieval church architecture. NOTE Image needs opening fully to be sharp.

The 18mm is my bread & butter lens when doing "real estate photography", The funny thing is that I've gotten so accustomed to it that it is my standard lens for everything apart from handheld nightshots and telephoto work. My standard "telephoto lens" is the planar 50/1.4 which works like the "Imagon" between 1,4 and 2,0 and is ordinaray good lens from 2.8.

Thanks :) I just wish the red pillars went on a little bit further to appear more maze like. I'd need a wider Zeiss lens though and I had my 14-24mm only. A zeiss 21 or 18 would have been nice.

Interesting. Is this one of those artist drawings on a sidewalk made to look real? If so, it does :)

The Bath Assembly Rooms, designed by John Wood the Younger in 1769, are a set of elegant assembly rooms located in the heart of the World Heritage City of Bath in England. The Assembly Rooms formed the hub of fashionable Georgian society in the city. Citizens would gather in the rooms in the evening for balls and other public functions, or simply to play cards.
