	Chester cathedral. It was built in the 10th century as an abbey, but was converted into a cathedral in the 12th century.
	This is a misericord: A bracket attached to the underside of a hinged seat in a church stall against which a standing person may lean. Some people like to collect them. They had replicas for sale in the gift shop.
	Here is a view of the misericord from further away.
	A view down The Rows, the two-level shopping district in Chester.
	Dave on the city walls. Some parts of the wall are the original Roman city walls, built to protect the Roman fort Deva. In the Middle Ages, the walls were expanded. You can walk on the 2 miles circuit of the walls.
	A view from the walls looking down at the remains of a Roman amphitheater.
