Would you like to play a special part in protecting this ancient building?
We have recently refreshed our 'Adopt a Piece of History' scheme. This offers the opportunity to adopt one of the Cathedral's historical objects to help with ongoing conservation and maintenance costs.
Objects include sculptures, stained glass and medieval misericords.
Adoptions can make wonderful Christmas gifts (and other occasions) and can include a personal dedication.
Prices start at £25 for a two year adoption.
