Cathedral call

-

An exhibition of the £24.7 million restoratio­n and developmen­t project at Canterbury Cathedral goes on show on Wednesday, September 20 - not the 30th, as reported in last week’s Gazette. The four-year refurbishm­ent is the largest on the building in 100 years and includes repairing the leaking Nave roof, restoring the Christ Church Gate and developing a welcome centre, which will provide a new entrance to the Precincts. It is being funded with a £13.8 million Heritage Lottery grant and £10.9 million from other donations. Explore Your Cathedral opens at 1pm and on show will be artists’ impression­s of the welcome centre, displays and informatio­n. The Cathedral will be free to enter after 4pm and most activities will continue during Evensong at 5.30pm.
