medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hallo Meg,
Google Street view will allow you to 'stand' on the top of Wells Cathedral tower and to tour the cathedral at several different levels. It's not something the system explains but it's quite easy to work out. I've yet to investigate other cathedrals.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi, Meg
Arounder has some visually good panoramas of Milanese churches. The voiceovers
are in a somewhat North-Italianate English and are touristy in approach. But the
photography is excellent. Links to those for Sant'Ambrogio and for San
Simpliciano will be found on this page of highlights:

With a little digging one can find other largely medieval Milanese examples,
e.g. this for Sant'Eustorgio (hidden in the City Tour):

Best,
John Dillon

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").
