Just leave that in the corner...

... said no one ever at this place. 
As you can imagine there are quite a few churches in Cambridge (every college needs their private chapel and then there are churches between the colleges for the normal mortals) but there is one that I especially like. People here call it the round church (I have no clue why) but it's original name is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (or Sepulcher if you are from the States (seriously, when did someone decide to swap the "e" and the "r" in all the words? And why? WHY?)). 


The church is really cute because it is all circular and tiny. It was built in 1130 so it has been around for a while (longer than any college, actually. As a matter of fact it witnessed the whole construction of St. John's College (that is just on the other side of the street). Never had considered it that way...). 


If I was an interior designer I would honestly not know where to put the altar here...
