The Norwich Anglican Cathedral.

The picture has not much contrast (on purpose) and increased yellow and red colors (more or less sepia) to make it look as a postcard from the past century.

The Cathedral is built of flint rubble and mortar faced with limestone ashlar, imported from Caen in France (the lighter, smoother stone) and from Barnack in Northamptonshire (greyer, fossil-filled stone). These two types can be seen alternately throughout the building, although this alternation was merely to distribute evenly their structural properties and was not intended to be decorative: originally, the interior would have been plastered and painted over.

The ground plan is almost unchanged from the Romanesque original, with fourteen bays making up an unusually long aisle. One feature to watch for is the shape of the radiating chapels, which consist of two intersecting segments of a circle.

Looks more like a very old faded photo and if this was your intention then its fine but could do with more contrast and detail in the sky.

Extremely reminiscent of an early 1900's postcard (apart from the text in lower right corner ;-) )
so your PP work has conveyed exactly what you intended - great stuff.
I'd like to see the original shot as you've found a good POV for the building
Thanks for sharing
