Hexham Abbey

Hi there Michael, hope you're doing well. Thanks very much for this great photo of Hexham Abbey. I've included it in the page Hexham Abbey high-altar cross, and each time I look at it am struck by the lighting and balance.

I would have thanked you even without the request to follow, but—since we're here—would you by any chance have also taken close-up photos of the altar/cross/candlesticks? I'm in touch with folks at the Abbey who may be able to help, but given how striking your own photo is, I have to assume any you might have taken of the altar would be great additions to the article. Cheers, --Usernameunique (talk) 00:44, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
