Hey Tom, thanks. And yes, this was from the ribbed vaulted ceiling of the chapel at The Hospital (charity house) of St. Cross. Those old craftsmen had enough time on their hands (as well as skill!) to decorate an already amazing piece of work. All over Britain are lovely ceilings that just fascinate me. And looking ^up^ yields great rewards.
That said, they would probably laugh to see how their work inspired me.
Or maybe just shake their heads...
