Is this one genuinely medieval, or has it been Victorianized? I could look it up, but it's more fun to ask you.

Most of what you see is the work of the ubiquitous Gilbert Scott family, but there's a genuine medieval church under the Victorian shell.

As you know, I'm not a fan of George Gilbert Scott after he tried to turn my lovely Romanseque home cathedral into a gothic fantasy.

Thankfully, he failed!

Scott seems to have had a go at an awful lot of buildings.

Ahhhh. It looks like a lot of our "gothic" churches here in Philly.

Oh, and the Albert Memorial! Which was a sad and sorry sight when we visited in 1998...
