Online event
Overview

Owen Thompson talks about alterations due to structural, aesthetic or liturgical considerations.

ONLINE EVENT


People tend to think of the cathedral as a Norman building with some medieval additions. In fact every century has seen alterations due to structural, aesthetic or liturgical considerations. Did you know that there was a gaol inside the cathedral, that the Close had its own workhouse, or that the dean moved the altar steps because the congregation were 'wont to take communion promiscuously'?
