Restoration versus reconstruction? Where do you draw the line?
The seventeenth and eighteenth century High Altar at the Cathedral consisted of a Laudian (Anglican High Church) timber canopy surmounted with an ensemble of carved drapery, cartouche and naturalistic festoons in the style of English wood carver, Grinling Gibbons. A James Cave watercolour dated 1801 shows this ensemble in position
Christ Church Cathedral in Stone Town, Zanzibar, was built by British missionaries in 1879 on the location of the last permanent slave market in East Africa and is a site of international historic and cultural significance.
St Michael's in Coventry was the only British Cathedral to be destroyed in World War II, and its iconic ruins have stood as vivid and moving testimony for over seventy years.
