Isn't this (also) known for its great acoustics?
By the way, is "quire" an alternative, maybe old spelling of "choir"?

Oh yes. The acoustics are as glorious as the architecture.

'Quire' is indeed an old spelling of 'choir'. In the past the two spellings were sometimes used interchangeably (and they very occasionally still are), but now 'choir' is properly used to refer to the people who sing the services and 'quire' the architectural space in which they sing.

Eton College chapel. There's a curious optical illusion here: the right-hand end looks as if it's oblique, but really it's parallel to the opposite end, as you'd expect.
