Historic Graffiti at the Cathedral
Historic graffiti across the walls of the Cathedral voices the beliefs, work, hopes and fears of those who built, lived, worshipped and visited this special place over the last 900 years.
Since 2018, a team of volunteers have been surveying, recording and sharing this historic graffiti with visitors, as part of a historic graffiti project.
