Wendy Daws has had a close working relationship with Rochester Cathedral for many years. The relationship began when we commissioned her to create a tactile representation of our unique fresco. Wendy has run various workshops for adults and children in the cathedral and the cathedral has hosted several exhibitions created by Wendy and the groups she works with. We are delighted that she has been awarded a BEM for her outstanding work.
Rochester Cathedral is delighted to announce an upcoming exhibition in our Crypt. Photographer Clive Tanner will be exhibiting a number of his photographs of English Cathedrals in May.
Beyond Divine Light is a journey around England visiting some of the great cathedrals; showing architectural and memorial details in stone, wood, textile and glass. This exhibition features the photographs of Clive Tanner, taken over the past twenty-five years and shows some of the details that might be missed at first viewing.
An enthusiastic club photographer, Clive has achieved the highest distinctions awarded by Royal Photographic Society and Photographic Alliance of Great Britain; his pictures are frequently accepted by international salons and exhibitions.
Beyond Divine Light will run in May in the Rochester Cathedral Crypt and will be free of charge to visit.
