St Hugh's Wormhole

            This is St Hugh's Choir in Lincoln Cathedral, England. At least, it's how I imagine it would look if it were being sucked through a wormhole :) 

St Hugh's Choir is a church within a church - one of the oldest parts of the building. Construction of the cathedral started in 1072 and continued in several phases throughout the High Middle Ages. It is the fourth largest cathedral in the UK (in floor area) at around 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft), after Liverpool, London St Paul's and York Minster. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England it was built in the Early Gothic style. 

One major architectural feature of Lincoln Cathedral is the range of spectacular vaults. There are several different kinds of vaults that differ between the nave, aisles, choir, and chapels. Saint Hugh's Choir exhibits extremely unusual vaults (annotated on the photo). It is a series of asymmetrical vaults that appear to almost be a diagonal line created by two ribs on one side translating into only a single rib on the other side of the vault. This pattern divides up the space of the vaults and bays, perfectly placing the emphasis on the bays. Each separate area of Lincoln Cathedral can be identified solely by the different vaults of the space.

Also shown in the photo is the cathedra - the Bishop's throne - which is the seat of the Bishop of Lincoln. A church becomes a cathedral when the Bishop's official cathedra is installed.
