Lady Chapel Conservation Project

Priceless heritage at risk

Our 15^th century Lady Chapel is regarded as one of the greatest treasures of Gloucester Cathedral but has been identified as the most ‘at risk’ part of the building. 

Nearing a state of irreparable deterioration, the Lady Chapel restoration project will be a major undertaking for Gloucester Cathedral over the next three years. 

The project will form a substantial part of Project Pilgrim. Much of the work will be carried out by our dedicated team of stonemasons and will include:

• Restoration of the damaged interior and exterior stonework 
• Cleaning of the interior stonework 
• Conservation of surviving Medieval polychrome
• Extensive conservation of the stained glass 
• Installation of protective glazing to the Great East Window
• Other work will also include:
• Installation of a new heating system 
• Providing disabled access 
• Relighting of the space 

The project is also being supported by: 

• Friends of Gloucester Cathedral 
• World War One Cathedrals’ Repair Fund, 
• Heritage Lottery Fund
• The Saintbury Trust
