Ken Follett gives book proceeds to French cathedral restoration fund

Last modified on Fri 12 Mar 2021 05.02 EST The bestselling British author Ken Follett is donating the proceeds from his book about the Notre-Dame fire to restore a cathedral in Brittany. Follet is giving €148,000 (£127,000) towards a multimillion euro project to save Saint-Samson de Dol-de-Bretagne cathedral. The sum is what he has made from his book Notre-Dame: a Short History of the Meaning of Cathedrals, written after the Paris monument was ravaged by fire in April 2019, which has sold 113,000 copies worldwide. The money is being given to the French Fondation du patrimoine (Patrimony Foundation) and will be put towards the €2.4m cost of restoring the Brittany cathedral, a Gothic monument listed since 1840, but in a parlous state of repair.

UK author Ken Follett donates €150,000 to Brittany cathedral

The Saint-Samson cathedral has been considered an official historic monument in France since 1840, and dates back to the year 555. It has been described as a ‘jewel in Brittany’s crown’. Yet, it has suffered from degeneration over the years.  The frame and roof are no longer watertight, the granite balustrades are damaged, and some walls need replacing. Crucially, four 13th century stained glass windows - the oldest stained glass windows listed in Brittany - are no longer protected from the elements. A €2.4 million restoration project began in 2019, and is scheduled to finish in 2024. Mr Follett said that as well as the money given, he would also be taking a close interest in the restoration project, and following its progress as much as possible.
