Oh, drat! Ginni
>>> Beth and Bob Matney <[email protected]> 8/11/12 12:13 PM >>> I will be leaving for Edinburgh and that area in three weeks myself... so definitely interested as well. First the bad news: The Durham Cathedral Treasures exhibit area is closed and the textiles that were on display (St. Cuthbert) are in storage for an indefinite period. Now the good news: "The reason for this is that the Cathedral is embarking on a major development of its Claustral buildings, which will see the Shop move from its current location in the Great Kitchen into the Western Undercroft (where the Treasures exhibition used to be). A new sequence of exhibition spaces in which we plan to display many more of the Cathedral's collections will be created in the Monks' Dormitory and Great Kitchen."
