The sheepishness relates to the fact that whilst the winter rain fell interminably on Salisbury, and the floods threatened, I was enjoying summertime in New Zealand. The only time I wore a dog collar between Christmas Day and 1 April was when I preached in Auckland Cathedral at Candlemass on a gorgeous warm and sunny February Sunday!

stewardship of the Church’s resources. Thanks to the generosity and wisdom of many of the Church’s leaders, including some Maori friends, I was able to learn much from the opportunities they face now as a multicultural society with new immigrants predominantly from Asia.

On my return from New Zealand I continued that theme by reading what some theologians are saying about how the Christian faith operates in our own pluralistic society which experiences a diminishing role for the institutional patterns of church whilst at the same time The cathedral in Christchurch ruined in the earthquake recognising the vivid and important influence of spiritual conviction or religious activism.

I have returned with great appetite for the exciting period ahead of us. We draw ever closer to the finishing line of the Major Repair Programme – the first thing I noticed as I stepped back into the Close was that the scaffolding had been moved off part of the north face of the Cathedral! And through the strong story of Magna Carta we have a special opportunity to present ever more confidently the Christian roots of our values and the character of our community. It’s a vital contribution to The ‘transitional’ cathedral that is being used at the British society which can be threatened by the moment complexities of multiculturalism and diversity, and habits of hospitality. That was certainly true and the constant challenges of change. but more than that I wished to experience a Province of the Anglican Communion which has a June Osborne deserved reputation for welcoming the ministry the dean of women.

This has been an extremely busy winter for my team as over the past few months we have been working on two major repair areas. One of these is the Consistory Court which has been shrouded in scaffold for the past two months. The work we carried out here included cleaning the ceiling ribs and Purbeck shafts, some stone replacement, minor pointing and mortar repair and the lime washing of the plaster to the ceiling and the Ashlar stonework to all of the blind arcade walls.

Our specialist consultant paint conservator has been consolidating the medieval plaster to the vaulted ceiling and has uncovered more of the fictive masonry in several areas, including a patch high up on the west wall (photo 1 above). He has also found traces of medieval polychrome (multi coloured paint). The Consistory Court is now open again and he has finished working on the Lovel shield undertaking cleaning, minor conservation and paint consolidation, which the visitors were very interested in. I have the only rubbing ever done of the Lovel shield, it was taken in January 1974 by the then Clerk of Works, Roy Spring, Photo 2: Tracing of a shield on the West Wall before the walls were lime washed (Photo 2).

The other area we are working on is MRA8 which is the north aisle of the Presbytery. Repair work and alterations to the frames for the window above the Dean’s door are taking place in the workshops (photo 3 and 4) and this is to accommodate new bar work and protective (isothermal) glazing, which basically means the glazing panels are set back an inch further into the frame. Additional protection is then placed in front to preserve the panels from the external elements. The windows themselves are undergoing a thorough clean before their scheduled re-fitting on 22 April.

You will also see the Stone Masons emerging from their winter hibernation period in the workshops moving up onto the scaffold to fix their winter wares. Photo 4: Workshop The ‘Sponsor a Stone’ scheme has generated considerable interest since its launch at the £30,000 towards the fabric of the building. Fixing end of January - we have already raised nearly has also started for the sponsored stones so time is of the essence if you would like to join in.

On another really exciting note, I have installed a new peregrine nest box with the help of the RSPB on the south east corner at the top of the tower. It was made by Richard Pike, our resident carpenter, and the prognosis looks good that this year we might have our very own Cathedral chicks. A pair are frequenting the tower on a regular basis, as is highly evident through the amount of carcasses on all sides of the tower and the very latest news is that we are excited to announce there are three eggs on the nest. Fingers crossed for some little fluffy things!
