Scroll to explore

When your doors are 700 years old, they need some tender loving care every now and again!

Our Research Coordinator, Dr Jennie England, explains what makes the Chapter House Doors so special and why you may see conservators during your visit.

Our Digital Surveyor, has been hard at work scanning these medieval doors. Luke will create a 3D digital model of the doors from the scans, using brand-new technology to hopefully bring new insights into these awesome ancient objects.
