More about this scene
The slip, or slype, is a narrow passage between the cloisters and Laurel Court, the school where Nurse Edith Cavell taught. She was a heroine of the First World War, condemned to death and shot by firing squad in 1915 for helping prisoners escape. Above the slip, the cathedral soars, its architectural details showing its Norman origins.
