Woman shouts in dock as she's jailed for cathedral arson attack

A woman shouted "f***ing p*** take" as she was jailed over an arson attack at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.

Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday afternoon, Monday, that Natasha Tisdall was previously handed a 15-month imprisonment suspended for two years in November last year after pleading guilty to arson. This came after an incident shortly after 6.30am on Sunday, May 29 2022, in which the 35-year-old lit a fire at the doors to the Mount Pleasant site's eastern entrance.

One staff member described having arrived at work "to find police and fire everywhere and the cathedral filled with a vile smell of burning". Three fire engines attended to tackle the blaze, remaining on the scene for around five hours.
