Leicester Cathedral, closed for two years for its Revealed project, involving a complete upgrading of its infrastructure, [reopened] on Sunday November 26th].<\/p>\n
The project was viewed as more urgent in light of a tenfold increase in visitors since King Richard III\u2019s tomb was created in 2015…. The exterior of the cathedral has been made good, and the interior, which was essentially still that of the Victorian city-centre church of St Martin\u2019s, though its origins went back to at least the 12th century, has been transformed.<\/p>\n
Repairs to crumbling stonework on the south side have included the restoration of the parapets and the rebuilding of the buttresses and some of the facing stones.<\/p>\n
