Support and Donate to The Minster

With the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we have begun the journey to restore the church’s historic structure and contents and reorder the internal space. This means the Minster is currently closed, but we look forward to welcoming you back in spring 2024. Find out how you can support The Project.
