Day 065/20 Queen Victoria - actually not important

This is a statue of Queen Victoria, arguably the most powerful woman ever to have lived, reigning over a rampant English empire.
But she is here part of the Great Screen (from the 1880's) behind the altar in Winchester Cathedral. Look at my second image today and you can see how important the church really thought she was. That's her, the small figure, bottom row, off centre to the right. Not that important it seems. A real statement of the power of the church?
