Work is underway to repair the landmark's historic pinnacles as part of a £250,000 grant, following damage caused from the 100mph winds of 2021's Storm Arwen. Scaffolding has been erected around the cathedral's tower to rebuild the north-western structures, which perform more than just a decorative function. Âé¶¹Éç Hereford & Worcester's Millie Trenholm reports. Canon Kimberley Bohen says the repairs will secure the landmark's future for the next 500 years.
