St. John's Pulpit

 

 

Again, according to Wikipedia, the pulpit in St. John the Baptist's Church in Stamford "dates from 1953, and was donated by the restorers of the church at that time."

Ceiling

Only a small amount of St. John the Baptist's Church 12th-century fabric remains. According to Wikipedia, most of the interior of the church and the fittings are from the 15th century. "The roof of the nave is finely carved, including angels on the bosses."

Door

So while still on my way to rehearsal in Stamford, I stopped by to visit St. John Church. Here I just admired one of the church's heavy wooden doors.

Spanish Food

Spotted this vendor at work in Stamford on my way from lunch to rehearsal. 

Tobie's

Had a quick bite to eat at Tobie Norris' (highly recommended!) in Stamford before trundling off to rehearsal at St. Mary's.

Caesar Salad

It seems like an odd thing to record what you ate on a trip, I know, but I've learned through hard experience how important maintaining a decent diet can be on a choir tour. So it was that I chose this Caesar salad with chicken at the Winepress Restaurant in the Maids Head Hotel in Norwich after singing evensong at the cathedral and before getting a good night's sleep (no pub crawling!) before the next day's bus trip to Harrogate by way of a rehearsal stop in Stamford.
