It was an absolute honour this week to welcome representatives from The Associated Worshipful Companies of The Mercers’, Masons’, Cooks’ and Broderers’ who attended a ceremony to view repair works to the county war memorial, carried out thanks to their generous funding.
We are extremely grateful to have received a £20,000 grant from the Associated Worshipful Companies to support the career progression of our newly qualified stonemasons through two restoration projects – one to the county war memorial and one to the Old Bishop’s Palace boundary wall.
Members of the Associated Companies visited the Cathedral to view the completed war memorial works today, when a special stone commemorating their support was unveiled.
They then viewed the plans for the Old Palace boundary wall, which the masons are now working on.
Thanks to this generous support, the war memorial is now in excellent condition ready for this year's Remembrance commemorations. Thank you so much.
