Details in medieval paintings in Durham Cathedral have been brought back to light by the completion of a renovation project.
The cathedral has used a £20,000 grant from the Banks Group’s Banks Community Fund to replace the old lighting in the Galilee Chapel, which sits just inside the main entrance to the building, with an LED lighting system.
As well as both costing less to run than its predecessors and supporting the cathedral’s carbon neutral drive, the greater power of the new lights has revealed a range of new details on the paintings and the surrounding architecture.
