That Window

[fishric]

Does anyone out there believe in ghosts ?
Soon I'll be spending a few days in the village of Lacock and I could n't pass up the chance to visit the abbey and photograph that famous window.
I'm sure the shades of Fox-Talbot would forgive a Fed or a Pentax. Maybe an ethereal intake of breath if I slipped a digicam from a pocket, but will we be haunted for life if my beloved was to produce her mobile phone ?
Worrying isn't it ?

That looks more like a passageway than a window.
Oh well, it is from the 1840's, so I guess it's significant in some fashion. ;)

That Window, as it looked in 1835:

Yep, that's the picture I was looking for, Doh!

Yes, that window.
Thanks for the links folks, I'll have to work out how to do them one day.
I may have to forget snapping the window from the inside. I did have a cunning plan involving a distracting streaker incident, but Mrs F can be very uncooperative sometimes.
I won't be bored, there's plenty to photograph in the area and Bath is only a hop and a skip away, a beautiful city.
