Durham Cathedral

[loopyloo]

Hello
There is a book in Durham Cathedral with the names of miners who died in accidents. My family lost two men in accidents and if you go to Durham Cathedral and ask the staff will open the glass case and find the name for you.

There is a miner's chapel in the cathedral.

Don't forget to visit Cuthbert - he's a very special saint!

Hello Ruthie,

I grew up in County Durham and had many a school visit to the cathedral. A couple of years ago my husband and I decided to climb up the tower. The view was great but I would only recommend the climb for the very fit.
