Photographs from St Mary's Abbey

I'm indebted to David Little for taking these superb photos and posting them on his own site.

They're from the Historical service of Vespers which the Schola Cantorum sang last September - historical insofar as we sang the solemn setting of the Salve Regina written specifically for the Abbey AT the Abbey for the first time in nearly 500 years!

Enjoy!
