Project scope: Quire Roof
Grade I: £270,000: Completed 2021
During the quinquennial inspection in 2019 it was found that the Quire roof had suffered extensively with underside lead corrosion, so severe that it had caused holes in multiple locations.
The Cathedral benefitted from the first round of Grants for Programmes of Major Works from the Culture Recovery Fund during the Covid pandemic.
During difficult circumstances we were able to completely replace the Quire roof covering on a new ventilated deck and replace defective high level stonework to the pinnacles and turrets.
The project was undertaken in winter 2020/21 to an extremely demanding time schedule due to the funding restrictions.
