they probably made a pretty good 3D model of Wells Cathedral nave in order to comp in those fictive spaces beyond the W crossing arch. nearly $200M budget an' all ($89.9M box office, ouch)

you think that's cool? wait until you see... the Interdict break!

straight join in the masonry of the inner face of the wall of the S nave aisle of Wells Cathedral between bays 6/7 (!), widely understood as a downing of tools after the Interdict is declared on England by Pope Innocent III against King John's choice for Archbishop of Canterbury, that resulted in an exodus of bishops and the possession by the Crown of their secular property incomes, which made it impossible to pay masons. The join is accentuated by the change in the size of ashlars in the resumption of work in the 1220s.
