It’s great this forum has a ‘Religious Sites’ section - Prompted me to post this! This is the oldest building in Cambridge, dating from 1125! It was as the name suggests, part of a larger leper colony, nice. It’s in a state of semi-abandonment. It was surprisingly dark in there, most of the shots are 30 sec exposures. Enjoy.

Didn’t find any holy wine, but did find this behind the alter!

What a curious little place to have left abandoned, thank you for posting this, very nice :)
 
What a lovely little chapel. Beautiful beams and whitewashed walls. Excellently done to get those pics, Urb.
I'm amazed that the altar stuff was left, especially the cross. Great pic of that in front of the window. :)
 
What a gorgeous looking chapel. Being built of stone, and whitewashed, it looks like its been transported from the orkneys/shetlands, or in the middle of the highlands somewhere.

Love the alter with the window behind. Well done on finding this place, its gorgeous.

Lovely that. There's a chapel not far from me, can't tell if it's abandoned or not, looks it, right out in the middle of nowhere too. Will have to look into it now.

TnM :)
