Monday 28th April at 11.00 | £15
The full title of this gripping talk is ‘Rebuilding Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris – Relearning the Art and Science of Great Mediaeval Cathedrals’
Jonathan Deeming, Surveyor of the Fabric of Canterbury Cathedral, was chosen by the London Institute Français to talk about the rebuilding of Notre Dame.
Almost all of us have a memory of Notre Dame, our first visit, hearing the music of a mass being celebrated there or appreciating the way it towers over the surrounding island in the Seine. We are keen to get to Paris to see the transformation from the horrendous destruction of this 850-year-old building in a fire that touched us all. We are trying to work out how to arrange a two-day visit with a private tour, for a date in the early summer (the first time at which groups will be allowed access).
