The current Cathedral building was started in 1084 and has its fair share of treasures. The Cathedral is committed to the upkeep of the fabric of the building both inside and out, and is offering the opportunity to adopt a piece of its history to help support the on-going conservation and running costs.
Ideas for adopting a piece of history include the beautiful and vibrant coloured stained glass windows in the Medieval Cloister that show the history of the country, the city and the Cathedral through many famous historical people. These include early Christian pilgrims and saints, numerous heroes and heroines, kings and queens and including some not so saintly characters, such as King John!
As part of your adoption you will get a presentation pack which includes a photo of your chosen item, a certificate of adoption and a dedication in our donor’s book, where you will have the opportunity to make a dedication to commemorate a special event, anniversary or in memory of a loved one. Prices start from £25 and go up to £500.
