19a, b and c - Likewise these three magnificent ones from N/Ireland (don't the first two look similar?) (1 pt for each)

No Ian, Winchester is one of the 40-odd Major cathedrals:

They would have been immediately recognisable, so I picked the lesser ones, mostly from metropolitan areas.

No stopping him now ! 4 more points for the BB Reaper.
Boston Stump ain't a cathedral, Kev, but I'll let that one go.

Well spotted St Edmundsbury, as it has changed radically in this, the 21st century. Extract here from BBC News article 21st Feb 2003:

Cathedral tower project moves forward
The new tower should be completed next year.
The first phase of a millennium project at the cathedral in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk has been completed. Work to build a new tower for St Edmundsbury Cathedral started nearly three years ago.
The £11m project is funded by the National Lottery and money from a public appeal.
The new tower should be completed next year.
The Suffolk Cathedral Millennium Project aims to complete the tower, which is the last unfinished Anglican cathedral in England.
The nave was built between 1503 and 1551 and altered in the 19th century.
The east end was completely rebuilt in 1963-70 but the tower and other works were left unfinished.
Phase one of the project involves preparing the foundations of the planned tower, so that work can begin on building the actual tower.

This is what it used to look like up to a few years ago:

No.4 looks like Birmingham to me.

20 looks like St Fin Barre's in Cork.

I would say that 19b is Armargh. I have only driven past it from a distance so have not really seen it close. It looks like it though. It isn't 19a though.

17 - St German or Peel Cathedral

18a Is St mary's in Glasgow.
18b St pauls, Dundee

19a is in Belfast. It's the good one (i.e. the catholic one as opposed.....) I think it is St. Peters but not sure. 19c is in Derry. St Columb's.

;D

Great clutch of answers, Elsie.
First of all, then, my apologies for not having selected this one for question 4)


Your answer Birmingham is correct, you could have specified St Philip's though, as it is the Anglican one. To make it up to you, I've now shown St Chads (B'ham) RC Cathedral.

Almost a clean sweep on those I added yesterday:
17 St German, Peel, Isle of Man, correct
18a St Marys, Glasgow, correct
18b St Pauls, Dundee, correct
19a St Peters, Belfast, correct
19b St Patricks, Armagh, correct
19c St Columbs, Derry (or Londonderry for any Protestants out there ;)) (I am C of E with Catholic leanings by the way) correct
20 St Fin Barres, Cork, correct (interesting history on this one):

You didn't fancy 18c - the two-pointer, then ? I have to admit that I didn't know of its existence until yesterday, and I have made a lifetime study of this subject !

So, eight excellent points to you, and only numbers 5, 6 ,10 and 18c are remaining.

I'll take a stab at Dunblane for 18c.

Round about the right latitude, but you need to travel further west. ;)

I have never won one of these yet. I always seem to get to them too late. But in the marathon I have had a good start to the year. 8 points on this one - 3 or 4 for the other cathedrals quiz and a hatful for the lassies one (I hope!)

I'll try Brecon Cathedral for number 10.

Brecon Cathedral was picture 11), Lorin, (already got by the BB Reaper).

I think you have stumped me then.

Will answer your comment first and then give the score. My mind too is full of information useless to man or beast, but how do you account for my 24 years of marriage ?

Ok, all three of your answers are correct, but can only give you 2 points as Elsie already recognised St Philip's of Brum.

To get: 10 and 18(c).

10. blackpool

Sorry, can't give you it, Reaper. And you're sooooo close: The right county, but you're about thirty miles too far west.

Time to close this one as the BB Reaper seems to have given up on No.10 (answer: Blackburn) and Elsie on number 18(c).

This is intriguing, as Millport cathedral is actually off the mainland of Scotland:
