About this Event

IN-PERSON 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'?

Refreshments will be available 10 minutes before the talk starts. Feel free to grab yourself a cuppa and settle down for an interesting 45 minutes.
