Lisburn Cathedral Work Begins
There's a £1million refurbishment and restoration project underway in Co Antrim.
It has begun at Lisburn Cathedral, the oldest and one of the most recognisable buildings in the City.
Phase one of the refurbishment has already begun and will include the repair of the spire, replacement of the weather vane, re-pointing of all the stone work, repair of the stunning east facing stain glass window and partial replacement of the roof.
Phase two will focus internally and will include a sound and vision upgrade, a new lighting system and redecoration.
The primary aim is to make the space more user friendly. Completion of phase one is expected October 2010 with phase two expected to finish next Spring.
Funding has already been secured from Environmental Heritage Services, Listed Places of Worship and Pilgrims Trust while the rest of this extensive restoration will be funded by the Cathedral's own resources.
