A photographic exhibition is set to be opened as part of the Annual Patronal Festival at Lichfield Cathedral.
The event takes place on Sunday (February 27) and will see the Cathedral community joining together in prayer for a Sung Eucharist and a reception in the Great Hall of the Cathedral School.
To mark the reopening of the Lady Chapel, Dr Christopher Lockwood will be opening photographic exhibition The East End Restoration 2010 – The Story Unfolds. The display features a selection of photographs from the restoration at the Cathedral between April and December 2010. The pictures give a close up view of the behind the scenes work carried out by skilled stonemasons and other craftsmen.
The exhibition will open until March 25 in the Cathedral Lady Chapel and admission is free.
The Dean of Lichfield, the Very Revd Adrian Dorber said:
“The Annual Patronal Day, celebrated on the nearest Sunday to St Chad’s Day, is an opportunity to recognise the great dedication of Cathedral Donors and Patrons. It is only with the support of these individuals that we are able to continue with the urgent East End restoration and aim to raise the remaining £800,000 needed to do this.”
