Newport Cathedral Emergency Campaign

Scaffolding has again been erected today (Monday June 2nd 2008) inside Newport Cathedral as part of the ongoing restoration on the building.

Emergency work carried out during phase 1 of the restoration to prevent water ingress at the 1960’s build East End was successful. “This means that it is now possible for us to re-plaster and paint the Chancel Arch at a cost of around £4,000″, said Fr Mark Soady.
