Treasury


Wandering around the cathedral, I stumbled upon this inviting staircase (above). Note the use of a rope rather than handrails. A nice medieval touch, if maybe not up to current building codes. :-)


Upstairs were cases of "church plate" from churches around Norwich. 


Going down was actually a bit more challenging than coming up, especially for people with big feet like mine. :-)

  1. I've never seen a rope staircase like this. Seems like a practical solution!

  2. Subí a una de sus dos torres en la catedral de Cádiz y en las escaleras, para agarrarse, había una cuerda gruesa, como esta.
    Feliz domingo de descanso.

  3. I've never seen a rope staircase. Maybe a lot easier to install rather than guardrails.
