Norwich Cathedral is one of the finest cathedrals in the world, founded in 1096. The majority of the 12th century fabric survives with alterations and improvements made through the centuries. Henry Freeland was appointed in 1997 as Surveyor to the Fabric and Architect to the Cathedral and advises on all aspects concerning the historic building fabric. Quinquennial Inspections are carried out to establish its condition and to formulate strategies and programmes for repair and conservation. Liturgical alterations and improvements, health and safety measures, improvements and repairs to the building services systems, new furniture, and signage have all been part of his work as well as advising Hopkins Architects on the award-winning Refectory and Hostry buildings. Other projects include re-leading of the cloister roofs and conversion of St Saviour’s Chapel to a Song School.
