A major project to restore Shrewsbury's Roman Catholic cathedral to more like its original design has entered a new phase.
The project came about following an order from the Vatican in the 1980s which stated that Roman Catholic places of worship should be reordered to be more like the way they were originally built.
A preliminary phase of this work at the cathedral, which was designed by famous architect Edward Welby Pugin are taking place before work starts in earnest. He said the overall aim of the project is to take back the cathedral both visually and decoratively to the way it was built. That means removing whitewashing. In the process some of the cathedral's historic architecture has been revealed one more to the public gaze.
Previous work on restoring the cathedral revealed a spectacular gothic tiled floor created by the famous architect Edward Welby Pugin. The tiles, from the late Victorian period and turn of the century, were buried beneath a suspended wooden floor.
