You know what really stresses me out? What haunts me most in my quiet moments?

The foundations of most of England's cathedrals.

Lincoln Cathedral just... Doesn't have any foundations.

They plonked that bad boy on a load of rock and went "aye, that'll do".

Three feet below the floor the cathedral just stops. I cannot handle it.

The Cathedral that stresses me out most is Salisbury. Shes built on a gravel patch with foundations 4ft deep, the rest is just gravel, through which river water passes.

If the water ever stops flowing under Salisbury Cathedral the gravel will crumble and the Cathedral will fall.

I'm just quietly stressed about Cathedral foundations ALL THE TIME. It's like one of those quiet stresses you don't even acknowledge, but it's always there, gnawing away at you. Small, but permanent.

OH MY GOD WHY.

I hate it.

(I will not elaborate further but... None of them are good. None of the Cathedrals have foundations worthy of the hundreds of thousands of tonnes of building plonked on top of them. It will stress me out until my dying day.)

Okay no but who the fuck built Ely Cathedral on what is literally a marsh and went "that's grand, that. No problems here. Ooops that bit fell down. Best not rebuild it because... It's a marsh. S'all good."

Can everyone please stop reminding me that Winchester cathedral had to have a literal diver lay a new foundation for it to prevent collapse, thank you. I am aware of it, I just enjoy not weeping every waking moment.

One day this countries cathedrals will all collapse, and I better be long dead when it happens because I genuinely won't be able to cope.
