Though I do know that Chedworth is build to incorporate a natural spring. I've just looked through all 57 pages of attractions on POE for inspiration but nothing has leapt out at me Ah well, keep thinking. Edited by: rustyruth at:18th December 2014 17:20 |

I'm probably way off with this, but I've been thinking myself round in circles most of the evening from deserted Abbeys to York Minster. |

You are getting very close now Ruth |

rustyruth![]() Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 21:49 on 18th December 2014 I've only got my phone with me so this is a guess not researched. I driven by this place hundreds of times and it's only just come to me. St. Asaphs Cathedral in Wales, it has Cathedral status but is very small. I believe the smallest in the UK. I think the town was officially given City status quite recently. That's the best I can do whilst I'm sneaking a few minutes here whilst we are visiting friends |

I'm back, one of the few Cathedrals I've never visited is Ely, known as The Ship of the Fens. It's a very large building for a very small city. I've seen it from a distance and it's quite impressive. I'll start looking elsewhere for when this is wrong |
