  View of the 13th Century Galilee Porch, Ely Cathedral, Ely, Cambridgeshire, England   The west front entrance to Ely Cathedral is through this, the Galilee Porch, which dates from the thirteenth century.

One of the two huge, iron studded, wooden doors can be seen below that wonderful arch. Those doors must be around 20 feet high.
