Hi Meg,

Have you seen the digital reconstruction of St. Andrews Cathedral as it would have appeared in 1318? It's one of several digital reconstructions from the Open Virtual Worlds group at the University of St. Andrews. For the full experience you must create an account on their server and have installed a virtual-world browser. They have one available for download, which may require a Microsoft Kinect in order to function properly (n.b., I haven't tried this myself).

If you don't care to install the necessary application, you could simply look at a video tour of the digitally reconstructed church:

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Greetings all,
I have purchased the DVDs from York which interactively explore parish churches, pilgrimage, etc.
However, insofar as I have been able to figure them out, while these disks contain demonstrations of the stages of construction of a church from the Anglo-saxon period onward, and text with photos of a number of existing churches, there is no virtual "tour" of an existing church. Do list members know of any such? Of course I'm aware of the newly discovered wall paintings in Wales, but I'd love to be able to take my students on a "virtual tour" of a historic church (the fact that it may have been modified in the course of time is irrelevant, I'd like to be able to show how it is as a start to thinking about how it "was").
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated,
Meg
