点评:We visited the cathedral when in Ripon on our most recent stay in the UK in December 2024-January 2025. The cathedral is attractive with a striking Early English Gothic front facade. It has interesting history. The history includes details about Lewis Carroll's time here as a youth when his father, a clergyman, was posted to the cathedral. Friendly and informative guides showed us around and both they and the guide pamphlet provided much information about the cathedral as well as the artwork in it which are believed to have inspired some of Carroll's creations in his writing. Of particular note are the ancient Anglo-Saxon crypt from the original 7th-century church, and the brightly painted quire screen, an example of how such stonework was not necessarily left plain as people usually see it today but heavily painted. There is also a treasury and museum upstairs.
翻译:我们最近一次在英国逗留是在 2024 年 12 月至 2025 年 1 月,当时我们在里彭参观了大教堂。大教堂外观迷人,正面是引人注目的早期英国哥特式建筑。它有着有趣的历史。历史包括刘易斯·卡罗尔年轻时在这里度过的时光,当时他的父亲是一名牧师,被派往大教堂。友好而博学的导游带我们参观了教堂,他们和导游手册都提供了关于大教堂以及里面的艺术品的大量信息,据信这些艺术品启发了卡罗尔的一些创作。特别值得注意的是原始 7 世纪教堂的古老盎格鲁-撒克逊墓穴和色彩鲜艳的画屏,这是此类石雕不一定像人们今天通常看到的那样保持朴素,而是大量涂漆的例子。楼上还有一个宝库和博物馆。
