AN EVENING WITH CHRISTOPHER SOMERVILLE

Time: 18:30

Location: Westminster Cathedral Hall

11 April 2019: An evening with Christopher Somerville - writer and journalist from The Times on his new book Ships of Heaven: The Private Life of Britains Cathedrals. He has dedicated a chapter to Westminster Cathedral. The talk will take place in Westminster Cathedral Hall. Doors open at 6.30pm. Talk at 7pm. Tickets £10. Copies of the book will be on sale and the author will be signing books after the talk. He has, rather appropriately, dedicated his book to all the Cathedral volunteers up and down the land, without whose generosity and hard work the Ships of Heaven would very soon run aground.
