Nottingham Cathedral has been awarded a £1.69 million grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of its £2.3 million Restoring Pugin Project.
The project aims to restore the Cathedral’s east end “to its former glory” while also "engaging" over 20,000 people from across the city “in this exciting work”, say those leading the endeavour.
“This is the first major National Lottery Heritage Fund award for a Catholic Cathedral in recent years," says Sophie Andreae, architectural historian and vice-chair of the Patrimony Committee of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales.
