INTERPRETATION CENTRE |
|
| |
Wells Cathedral warmly welcomes worshippers and visitors to it's new Interpretation Centre situated in the medieval Chapter House Undercroft off the North Quire Aisle. This is the first time the Undercroft has been open to the general public.
Situated in the magnificent octagonal, and recently restored, Undercroft the new Interpretation Centre tells the story of Wells Cathedral in a simple clear manner under the headings of Place, People, Period, Preservation and Presence. Artefacts, interactive displays and brief text tell worshippers and visitors the story of Wells from its beginnings in the 8th century, through the construction in the 12th century of the present Cathedral to it's role as a leading spiritual and heritage centre today.
A recently appointed Outreach Officer is attached to the Interpretation Centre to invite interested groups to visit the Cathedral and also to take the story of Wells Cathedral to those who cannot visit, such as people in hospitals and nursing homes. The Undercroft and its Interpretation Centre is open every day of the week.
The medieval Undercroft has been conserved and the Interpretation Centre created and installed within it with the generous financial assistance of the Heritage Lottery Fund, and other grant-making trusts.
