Curious Thinking inspired by Salisbury Cathedral

When our visitors are told our cloisters are the largest in the UK it is reasonable that they immediately ask “So where are the monks now?”
All together now: “Grovely! Grovely! Grovely! And All Grovely!”

I believe this question might have been inspired by the movie “Up”
