Just a brief reminder that the final stage of the conservation program starts early in the New Year and so will be unavailable for public access until Easter 2020.

A truly remarkable church, take time out to visit, yes a steep hill to climb out of Port Isaac, Church Hill or as we call it heart attack hill and just following the road turning left at the T junction. From the outside it may look shut but push open the front door, it is heavy, so give it a big push and enter. So peaceful and take a moment to reflect in the peace and quiet or light a candle for those lost ones. Look upwards to see the wonderful roof timbers and marvel at curved one of the walls is! Wander round and look at the dates on the tombs inside and outside to get a glimpse of the history of the place. They do hold events here, a current brochure list forthcoming events and workshops, they do say the acoustics there are very good.

What a great day out! I went mainly to see the Magna Carta but was surprised to discover a fantastic art and sculpture collection. The highlights for me being a sculpture by Anthony Gormley, the amazing font and a magnificent tapestry by Grayson Perry, the worlds oldest working clock and of course the Magna Carta. All the staff inside the Cathedral were helpful and friendly but Rob stood out as a fantastic curator. Thanks Rob for taking us back into the Cathedral to view the rear of the tapestry which we hadn't spotted. Oh and of course its a beautiful cathedral.....
