Small things in the cathedral

A place to see the little things between the monuments and tombs. As in the chapel of St Gabriel, a pencil.

Here they are, behind the obvious. Next to the chapter house, a cupboard with a bowl, four toilet rolls.

How small things quietly wait, make us forgivable. Inside the vestry, just inside the door, an iron.
