AN APPEAL.
THE DEAN AND CHAPTER _earnestly hope that Visitors to the Cathedral
will contribute something to the Fund in aid of its Restoration. For
this purpose a box has been placed in the Nave, under the Screen, and a
book in which names, together with the amount of the donation, may be
entered. It will be seen that the need of Restoration is urgent, the
central tower being much shattered, and its south-eastern pier
presenting a very unsightly appearance. One of the most striking
features of the Cathedral, the beautiful groined roof of this tower is
at present entirely concealed by a scaffolding put up some years ago
when the work of Restoration was suspended for want of funds._
THE DEAN AND CHAPTER _feel that they may with the more confidence
appeal to the liberality of Visitors in aid of the Restoration, because
the Cathedral is open free of all charge throughout the day (except
during the hours of Divine Service), the Vergers not being allowed to
ask for any gratuity._
