Wakefield Cathedral reopens after £3m restoration

http://d.christiantoday.com/en/full/16072/wakefield-cathedral-altar.jpg?w=195&h=292&l=50&t=40Wakefield Cathedral reopened to the public this week following a spectacular £3m restoration project.

The work included restoration and renewal of the nave, including improved lighting, flooring, heating and sound systems.

The intention was to create a more flexible space that can be used for worship, public gatherings, concerts and other community events.

The completed project has resulted in a brighter interior that shows off the cathedral's magnificent architecture.

During renovation work, part of a painted angel was uncovered above the rood screen. 

Historians have dated it to the original church walls 700 years ago.
