At a time when issues of housing, poverty, regional regeneration, education and national security are constantly in the media, one could reasonably ask what exactly do these cathedrals mean to us and what is their worth. Structurally, culturally, economically and emotionally?
The public could be excused for asking, “What is all the fuss about?” When many, many other pressing day to day concerns face us and demand a solution; How do we justify our expenditure on historic buildings and inform the public of the role cathedrals play in the twenty first century ?
