taken 2 years ago, near to Sherborne, Dorset, England

Sherborne - Abbey - Fan Vaulting in Nave
Sherborne - Abbey - Fan Vaulting in Nave
The superb fan vaulting in Sherborne Abbey soars above both the nave and quire. Here in the nave, only the bosses at the intersections of the ribs have been coloured whereas in ST6316 : Sherborne - Abbey - Fan Vaulting above the quire the entire ceiling is richly decorated.
This fan vaulting dates from the late C15th - it's remarkable what could be achieved over 500 years ago!
