DYK Nomination[edit]

Photo request[edit]

Firstly, what a nice article, and congratulations on the DYK.

Secondly, the article mentions the interesting figurative detail on the cross ... which is just barely glimpsed in the existing photo. It would be really nice to have a picture or two of the decorative detail(s) of the cross, both the figure and the patterning. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:32, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your comments. There is a much better photo on this External Link (below), but it isn't licensed for Wikipedia use. But thanks for the suggestion; I'll add a photo request tag when I work out how to do it. Hallucegenia (talk) 21:02, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
