A priest who was not bad enough on earth to be sent to hell. Makes you wonder what the other priest got up to. I was in Chester in August where I had a chance to see the Cathedral which is also built of sandstone. I was rather struck with the delightful colour so I assume Melrose Abbey must have been equally delightful in its day.
