I regret I am unable to show any photographs of the monuments in Durham Cathedral except those above, which are in the church yard. Unfortunately the Dean and Chapter show a most uncompromising attitude to photography: it is not allowed except by prior written permission and then only in special circumstance, at relatively high cost and with rather restrictive conditions. I was refused permission because I asked in person, even though I had travelled several hundred miles and explained I was from the Church Monuments Society. I can only hope that this unfortunate attitude may change in the future. |
