Project scope: We have completed many projects since Ulrike’s appointment as Cathedral Architect in 2007.
PV Panels
Photovoltaic panels were installed in 2010 to the south aisle roof – the first UK cathedral to do so. These cannot be seen from ground level. The installation saves an average of 3.5 tonnes of CO2 per year and due to the feed-in tariffs, it is estimated to generate an income of £46,000 over 25 years.
State gate
Masonry works to the State Gate were completed in 2015. This included the lifting and relaying of large stone slabs and the insertion of structural bars.
Roofing
We have also completed several phases of roofing works including gilding high level decorative metalwork.
Access
Access improvements were carried out to the Precinct in 2016 which included new paths, metal railings and entrance gates.
