They've remained in a dim room in temperature-controlled conditions throughout the pandemic but now some of Durham Cathedral's biggest treasures are finally making a return to the spotlight.
This Tuesday sees the likes of Saint's Cuthbert's coffin, his jewelled Pectoral Cross and the famous Sanctuary Ring properly back on show for the first time since the Covid and Durham Cathedral Museum - previously known as Open Treasure - is delighted to be able to reopen to visitors. On Monday, the media was invited along for a reminder of what's in store - and also what is new for 2022 - and Marie-Therese Mayne, Durham Cathedral 's exhibitions and collections officer, said: "It's so wonderful to be able to finally welcome visitors back."
