St. Johns was founded in 689 by King Aethelred. Rebuilt many times, it is an active church today.
Nice to see stained glass on a sunny day.
But the main cathedral is Chester where construction began around 1093.
And whose bell tower proved it’s effectiveness as I took this photo.
Lady Chapel
Mosaic floor
One of many alters
Along one wall are these mosaics
And this is the largest radiator I have ever seen!
The organist began to play Bach’s “Jesus que ma joie demeure” (whose name I did not know but the tune was very familiar) while I was absorbing everything.
