How you can support - the Stonemasons' Circle

Become a part of the Stonemasons' Circle and play a vital role in preserving our incredible heritage, safeguarding essential skills, and inspiring the next generation. As a member, you'll have the unique opportunity to build direct relationships with our expert stonemasons and get exclusive, behind-the-scenes insights into their fascinating work.

The Cathedral is committed to preserving exceptional heritage and developing the next generation of stonemasons and specialists, keeping these essential skills alive.

Apprentices will work with our skilled team to carefully clean and conserve the stonework, removing the cement pointing and replacing with lime mortar, and renewing decayed stone elements.

This isn’t a job to rush and since much of the work will be taking place indoors and at ground floor level we will be able to show visitors both the exceptional architecture and human skill and care up close.
