Our Chair, Caroline, and many of the Friends went on the pilgrimage too and said it was great. We're delighted so many who went have now become friends too.

Pilgrims have returned after following in the footsteps of St Paul 🙌

Earlier this month, 33 pilgrims returned from a pilgrimage organised by the cathedral and led by the Dean of Durham, Philip Plyming and Jocelyn Bryan, Licensed Lay Minister at Durham Cathedral.

Ever wondered what the Sanctuary Ring would like in stone?

#DurhamCathedral stonemason Steve Mann gifted the replica of Sanctuary Ring to @DCathFriends, which took him 450 hours to complete.

It is currently on display in the Durham Cathedral Museum to be enjoyed by visitors.
