I recorded there onces and used a M/S pair (cardiod/8) reasnobly close in the nave and also a rear M/S pair (omni/8) same way back. Some spots were used on the organ from what I recall but it was a while ago and cant remember the set up clearly.

I remember thinking at the time a spaced broad cardoid pair should have worked well in the space rather than an M/S set up.

I think Jims right on his observations.

Not that its of any help for this recording, there is a chapel, St Mary Magdelane I think its called, I visited once in Exeter that would be great for early music.

Please let us know how you get on.
