Green heating system is centrepiece of cathedral restoration
Friday, 14 June 2013 14:42

In April contractors moved into Manchester Cathedral to begin installation of a new underfloor heating system. The new system will employ ground source heat pumps designed which will draw heat from the ground under the cathedral via bore holes. The resulting system will make the cathedral one of the greenest in the country.

Over recent years levels of heating in the building have fallen below what is required in modern times, partly due to the deterioration of the underfloor pipework.

English Church Clocks by Keith Scobie-Youngs
Friday, 24 May 2013 11:33

English Church Clocks, referred to as either tower or turret clocks are not simply over sized house clocks. They reach out over the entire community, having once provided a time standard to which all watches and house clocks could be set and appointments met. Long, complex connections beyond the movement drive hands exposed to wind, rain and snow. Wires pull heavy hammers to strike and chime bells in the belfry above, and still, in many cases, massive weights need to be wound weekly or daily to ensure everything operates as it should.

Today accurate time is readily available to us all. Every modern appliance seems to have its own built in clock and the amazing accuracy of quartz watches and their low price really means that the turret clock is no longer indispensable as an essential public timekeeper.
