Newport Cathedral Emergency Campaign 2010

Over the last 4 years I have visited the Cathedral no less than 3 times, each time having observed with some concern the slow and steady decline in the condition of the roof timbers and slates – I am glad that work at last has started to replace these.

It would not have been possible to start the restoration of this historic building, had it not been for the hard work put in by members of the Cathedral campaign Committee, the generosity of individual donors, and the provision of large sums from grant-giving bodies. We are also grateful for the financial support given us by CADW.

I hope to be able to visit soon after the work has been completed and see that an excellent job has been done in bringing this fine building to play an even greater role in the community.
