LH Lady Chapel Turrets
The view is the front of the Lady Chapel, the towers are along the side. These have some lovely modern charicatures in amongst the old ones. The turrets are shown left to right, i..e. as they appear when viewing. There's a selection only, loads more interesting ones to photograph. The indistinguishable knobbly ones show just how far weathering can obscure the original design. Note the animal cradling an animal, very nice very weird.
