Another Reason for the Restoration

It has occured to me that a visitor to this blog might never have seen pictures of the Cathedral before the restoration began.  I have made a post of a panoramic shot of the interior (Panoramic View of Cathedral Interior) but I feel now that something more is needed.

Spirits are low right now on this restoration.  In spite of the significant milestone we have recently reached, (Roof Complete) the road ahead is still quite long. 

So I gathered a number of pictures with which I have been blessed and made a video slideshow.  The accompanying music is a much beloved Anglican hymn, "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling."  This beautiful rendition is done by the Wells Cathedral Choir.  I have emailed this video to the vestry and clergy in hopes that it will inspire us all to continue to push on this project. 

The pictures include some old black and white ones of the Cathedral exterior in the 30's and 40's and of the interior in 1914.  I post this video here so that you may behold yet another reason for this restoration.
