This was to be the ‘Year of Cathedrals – Year of Pilgrimage.’ New Pilgrimage routes had been set up all over the country. In Lent Canon Andrew Tawn began a three session series on Pilgrimage – sadly only one was delivered before the shut down.
In April Diane Hadwen from our eduction department was going to speak at the Monday Fellowship about bell-ringer Joe Hardcastle. In lieu of that not happening we sat down with her to find out more about the cathedral’s famous figure.
In this video Maggie Myers, our Director for Education and Visitors, brings you the origins of the cathedral's Consecration Cross and how a chance visit in 2020 brought a newspaper clipping from the archive to life.
