I did not mean to imply, in my response to the person planning to do
cathedral photography in England, that you couldn't take photos in
cathedrals.  Most cathedrals allow non-flash, non-tripod photography
at any time.  Notable exceptions are Westminster Abbey and the Chapel
(St. Georges?) at Windsor Castle.  Without flash or tripod there is
little for you to do inside a cathedral except take pictures of the
stained glass windows.  Westminister Abbey, I believe, was the place
that had photography sessions on Tuesday afternoon, or something, like
that.  I wasn't there on the right day.  One place I asked about a permit
and was told the person in charge of permits wouldn't be in until that
afternoon.  I didn't have time on my itinerary to wait around.

So I stand by my warning.  If you are planning SERIOUS cathedral photography,
you had better plan ahead or you will be frustrated frequently in your
efforts.
