Before the field trip to Westminster Abbey, I will honestly admit I had no idea what or where it was exactly. Before this trip I had never seen such a beautiful Cathedral (I guess its not a surprise living in Georgia). I was completely overwhelmed with its exquisiteness and thousand years of history. Apart from the stain glass windows, the characteristic of the Abbey that most captivated me were the elaborate ceilings. I almost ran into a few tombs because I was too busy looking up in awe.
The poets corner, along with everyone else in the class, also caught my attention. There is a memorial for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll). (At the National Gallery the painting of "The Ugly Duchess" inspired inspired illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland). I noticed there are more memorials than burials in this section.
Some good reactions, Cameron. I'd like to see a bit more detail in each entry. I like when you include images to support your ideas. Nice work on Woolfe and Massys.
