I always thought this was the normal size for churches until I left home (I grew up by St Albans Cathedral, also known as the Abbey amongst locals as the church previously had a monastery. You can still see where it was attached before it was demolished). I'm stuck between feeling disappointed that I can't visit churches like these where I currently live and privileged that I grew up near one!
