Hidden Treasures Opens


Buxton were delighted to join in the celebrations of the impressive restoration works which have now been handed over to Rochester Cathedral.


The official opening was attended by The Lord Lieutenant of Kent Viscount De L’Isle and The Dean of Rochester, the Very Rev Dr Philip Hesketh.

The Hidden Treasures, Fresh Expressions (HTFE) is a project that focused on the Crypt, Library and the 'hidden collections' in the Cathedral's ownership. At the very heart of the project is the creation of a secure exhibition space within the medieval crypt for the display of the collections; a wealth of texts, books, documents, charters, stonework, embroidery, plate, paintings and historical artifacts. The library will also be repaired and renovated to house a remarkable collection and enable the Cathedral to make this part of the collection more accessible.
