Tickets
Friday 19 April & Friday 23 August, 11.30am
For nearly a thousand years the makers of the Cathedral have created images of faces both human and divine. Look around and you will be aware of hundreds of faces.
This tour will focus on just a few, including images of Christ, saints, bishops, faces on memorials and the unknown. We shall consider the contributions of these people to the life of the Cathedral through time; the people who make the cathedral of today such a special place.
If you have binoculars please bring them with you as some of the images are located at high level.
