Westminster
Cathedral
always
looks
a
bit
strange
to
me
strangely
beautiful
though
and
it
just
gets
better
when
you
enter
.
It
was
built
in
a
neo-byzantine
style
by
one
John
Francis
Bentley
thank
God
for
him
this
place
is
fantastic
.
Construction
began
in
1895
and
the
Cathedral
opened
in
1903
although
not
unlike
La
Sagrada
Familia
in
Barcelona
it
is
still
a
work
in
progress
.
I
have
done
my
sums
and
have
concluded
this
fantastic
feat
could
only
have
been
achieved
because
the
builders
gave
up
their
tea
breaks
.
And
get
this
the
anticipated
cost
was
only
£150000
.
Sadly
this
wonderful
architect
died
a
year
before
it
opened
.
Many
of
the
good
and
the
great
have
graced
these
floors
including
Pope
John
Paul
11
and
Queen
Elizabeth
11
god
bless
her
soul
.
It
claims
the
honour
of
being
the
50th
largest
church
in
the
world
.
I
was
thrilled
to
see
a
statue
of
Our
Lady
of
Walsingham
here
seeing
as
I
live
not
far
from
there
.
The
building
has
a
series
of
Chapels
surrounding
the
perimeter
all
dedicated
to
various
Saints
and
all
splendidly
decorated
with
marvellous
mosaics
.
Personally
I
liked
the
one
of
Albanus
.
Another
thing
which
caught
me
eye
was
a
Chi
Rho
symbol
made
out
of
nails
.
Amazingly
when
I
visit
these
magnificent
places
it
is
quite
often
something
very
simple
which
impresses
me
most
.
I
also
enjoyed
the
Mass
here
it
was
quite
wonderful
realy
and
very
busy
.
I
am
not
sure
what
they
call
it
but
after
mass
in
one
of
the
side
Chapels
had
a
group
of
people
singing
further
Prayers
.
I
found
the
sound
of
them
beautiful
and
very
calming
,
I
listened
a
long
time
.
The
big
Crucifix
suspended
mid
air
is
also
stunning
.
I
can't
lie
I
am
a
sinner
and
not
very
worthy
but
since
my
mother
died
I
find
myself
attracted
to
these
places
more
and
more
.
She
was
a
devout
Catholic
bless
her
and
deserved
better
than
me
.
God
moves
in
mysterious
ways
,William
Cowper
perhaps
she
still
has
her
eye
on
me
?
Who
knows
.
If
you
get
the
chance
you
really
should
visit
this
place
is
great
.
