Radian over whether. Good morning it come out at breakfast on B.B.C. Radio Norfolk We're live outside the cathedral this morning and this is access all areas are chance to go behind the scenes of Norfolk institutions public bodies famous buildings and tell the story that you don't really see is the public and that's what we've been doing this morning and we're just had which of those wonderful time is interesting as we came here and the reason that we want to do this in December was because Christmas is around the corner and it was damaged by that Christmas at all holding so maybe we're just trying to get the festive theme into a little bit and we have got another Congress Christmas Carol coming your way and we have the cathedral choir Wally's been within this morning and that that promises to be really exciting because they're going to sing for us on the radio this morning we're also going to talk about volunteering at the Cathedral going back inside the library now you can probably hear the tinkering of doors I hope and that means here they go the big doors are opening and that means it's the end of the assembly and as these are these doors open I can see down the native to the organ I can see. The assembly that's taking place for Norwich school with hundreds of the children in the cathedral and the school band playing all I want for Christmas. I mean. I'm. Not quite sure how well you can hear this but there you go that's all I want for Christmas by the school band playing their hearts out right down to the organ cathedral it's interesting actually because we're standing so far back I'm not quite sure how much of that you could hear if it wasn't because I turned up at the door with a microphone and off I thought better get out of here because all the children start looking at me and then the sound is amazing the delay you realize as to how difficult it is to sort of conduct and so forth and what you hear in peace on Sunday is all the close circuit cameras that go around so the organist can actually see what what is going on in terms the services our points of the cars because you're so high with the organ so there's they've got C.C.T.V. Going to ask you about trying to keep track with the services must be quite difficult absolutely So David has ceased T.V. But also he has it's there's a little joystick he can actually move the camera around so for example for Christmas because you have a lot of silos thing that was rolled over city things like that he can then motions because you see the conductor we can see that she's soloist who sings that he's keeping pace with them is after a fascinating to watch one of the B.B.C. Sort of superman are coming down the stairs. And upside it you can hear much in the background all I want for Christmas but with it with the kids are going to team out through these doors in a minute so they're partying it back into the cathedral again but wait which one take you right away around the cathedral grounds this morning and rather around the cathedral itself now in the run up to Christmas the cathedral is welcome children from Norfolk schools with an interactive nativity story well shops art music acting and A. The cathedral itself brings the story of the birth of Christ to life I joined the excited peoples of heather Avenue infant school. The cathedral does a lot of outreach work with schools across the county and today it's the turn of heather Avenue infant school they've come here to learn about the Christmas message and this is really interesting very interactive experience because they're going to learn about the titty going around the cathedral and I'm going to follow them. My spare. On their way. To rest that's where I live Tomko Naseer a long way from heaven a hot country called Israel today we are reliving the Christmas story with some children from Heather of a new school why is it so important that the schoolchildren come into this wonderful environment and hear this story well 1st of all we're helping the teachers because for their religious education they're teaching about what is important about Christmas for Christians and so we help them to bring that story alive and I think for many children who don't go into church during the year this is something really special to learn about that's the key thing you're bringing it to life here you are in dress in character I suppose for children that makes it easier for them to understand it does we do it like this because we want them to really get behind the scenes of the story and we like to reenact the story bring it alive so they meet Mary and Joseph and the shepherd and somehow they become part of the story and I do I love the Christmas story and I remember doing the Matilda when I was at school in fact I was at the very school where these children were from that you were just talking to and I remember doing the Nativity at that school but when you're talking to children how many of them know about the Nativity the story behind this very special time of year and quieten not because of some excellent or reteaching going on. Schools especially in Norfolk and teachers are working really hard to do that but for many I suppose it's like a fairy tale So what we're trying to do is to say we're coming to your cathedral that's the 1st thing the cathedral belongs to everybody in Norfolk come and actually be part of it come and see what it means to Christians now you know it's not just a fairy story 2000 years ago so that's I think what we achieved. The say tell me so this sounds like fun so what if you've just been doing what if you've just been learning in here. In. The Bible. And. It was very funny it was very fun was it so you've been hearing all about the Christmas story and in terms of the Christmas story it's an amazing story isn't it and is it is it very fun at this time of year to hear this story and think about all the exciting things about Christmas yes because it costs less and in terms of your school what have you been doing at school in the run up to Christmas are you doing in a to play Yeah yeah. I'm in a race to 12 and a rate of 12 new writers Gosh that's a big cast Well you know 825. What part of the plague. You the wise man when you look like a wise man OK now for the rest of the class here's looking forward to Christmas. Has had lots of fun coming into the cathedral and learning about the Christmas story. And I'm kind of information and Pastoral Care So tell me what you're doing today you look fantastic by the way I'm working with our education team and I'm playing the role of Joseph today as we retell the Christmas story so the children come into the church and they and they've they walk around the cathedral and they're taken on a tour through quite an interactive experience yes it's great fun so the children move around the cathedral they they meet the prophet I told that this great event would happen they encounter Mary who begins to tell their story and then Mary introduces the children to Joseph who of course didn't believe Mary and then they decide to go on the journey to Bethlehem this is a story of wonderment do you think that this beautiful cathedral adds to that and emphasize it when you're talking to children about this is a sense of wonder I think it does because you can't help but walk into the building and just be that wow factor and there's that moment where we stop the children we just say. And you can just see them completely captivated by the buildings that you have a big wow and I've been here hundreds of times but just going back in there again I always think you got to look up and it's just the vastness of this space is incredible just being here to look around the building and just the height the decoration just everything it's such an incredibly grand scale and this building is special the cathedral special all year round but is it that little bit more special a Christmas assuming little extra to it well I think it's a special time of year and people come into the building lots of hopes and expectations and they see the trees and the lights on them and that that speaks to people and they clearly warmed to it so I mean as you say it's special all the time of year but this is a special time if you're right not just in the cathedral but everywhere and people get caught up in that and they look to the. At this time to be caught up in it even more and how much do you enjoy doing this work with the children Oh I love it why would I want what's not to love you know because the children are so excited about Christmas and they they love listening to the story and they're so attentive and they come up with some amazing answers to the question that's the point of this actually at the end of the day is just a damn good stories it's a very good story and it's a story that still captures the hearts of everybody both children and adults think about people who maybe are feeling a little sad or unhappy at this time and as you look at the candle that's just ask God to help everybody who's feeling sad or lonely know that God loves their Dear God thank you for the story of the birth of Jesus thank you for the gift of your song to show that you love please dear God be with all those who are feeling lonely or sad or unhappy at this time and made a note that you love them too. Let's walk back into the cathedral now all the children have played for Mexico to look at all these children coming out from the knowledge skill and I say they must be under children others want more 1000 children here and I didn't see that many going in but they are their peers they open the doors to teemed out into the cathedral place with the organ playing in the background and a bit of life now in the cathedral this morning it was so quiet so beautifully restful in here but now we have lights in the cathedral and that wonderful sound of the organ or should make very clear it's not me Isaacs who's a team going away right now it's a professional who is doing its thing and me rather fancies the chance of leaving the B.B.C. In coming and taking it up as a full time vocation and what I wouldn't blame because it's a it's a brilliant place to work right now we're right in the Navy and I'm going to come in from the cold for the next part of the programme because I'm absolutely freezing Let's break the travel month 50. Another record breaking year a sporting success says she has. Enjoyed victories and no we're all proud nation supporting us it's. The cutting. Edge. To show this to a great year of sport B.B.C. Sports Personality of the year Sunday night from 7 on B.B.C. One and B.B.C. I Player. I'd definitely. Travel music it becomes 25 thank you very much never get Christmas shopping starting in very very busy heading towards. The moment pretty much from the greats heading up great still from the bomber a roundabout adding at least an extra 10 minutes on top of your normal journey time also making it very slow heading in on the. Fun adding an extra 15 minutes heading from the race towards the Great. Elsewhere we have a collision into Dunstan who happens heading away from Norwich heading away from the A 47 it looked like place a poppy blocking the road looking a little bit better than they were but still quite busy getting from needs and footman towards Dunstan on the A 140th which wrote an extra 10 minutes on top of feel normal journey time if you can safely updates me 080-389-7321. Good morning this may come at a breakfast on B.B.C. Radio and also this coming from the calls to me what sounds like an organ the rehearsal which is taking place before recital maybe later if you can hear that something in his will it is and they do the at the level the rehearsal strychnine in Spain in the morning and then they quiet down often a cup that was telling us yesterday so since Labradors is now it's. Lazing sound has been coming I hate to say it is not the time to put in a request but on the evening prayer would be very nice Nav you could hear the problems you don't have the clients are coming I know just as you appreciate those Images to tell me this is difficult at times because so many appeals are going on inside of the feature that I'm not saying that to the cathedral has to consummate also money but you do need a lot of public support if public supports it is really impulse and obviously everybody here was pretty hard to keep it the key to giving him I think you mentioned earlier the 5000 pounds a day for the running in the city jail and so obviously this appeal is a little typical of that and so obviously it is a challenge the seventies and spent a lot of support. And was sitting very well with the appeal at the moment the series of course if we do something like that is lost in the future generation so it's really important that we keep on top of some of these projects because if we let things go to rack and then of course we also use a much more money that's in the public in the years to come because we haven't kept on top of the maintenance Yes that's absolutely true it obviously music has been a hot tip it was life in the centuries really really amazing is if he got on the next generation to enjoy as we are now absolutely. And there was peace it's just the most incredible sound and you really appreciate an instrument like this which sadly you don't see very many of now it's the 3rd largest organ in in the country and just the skill of playing it but also that sound has been here for generations of people generations have heard that particular organ so as I was saying a big task to make sure the music stays the very heart of the of the cathedrals life and that the organ stays because sadly a lot of churches have got to be on because it's very expensive to maintain so it's sort of full keyboard electronic pianos or smaller electronic organs but here it's still restored so actually beautiful what you wanted to say that because I think often said about this one experience I had went into a beautiful church north of the organ has been stripped outside really couldn't maintain it and there's now a Casio keyboard in the corner and it's just not the same hearing somebody get near that I go to the. On an electronic organ than on something as beautiful as this but this is you know as you say the 3rd biggest organ in the country so it's an absolute stunner I guess the biggest I'm going to go Westminster Abbey instant polls out of thought so yes I'm going to I'm going to take a big risk there and probably some polls as. Suppose I know has there is about a 15 to 22nd delay on some of the trumpets in there because they go right to the back of the cathedral so there's a huge amount of sound and I think that will be a delta but I think. And I think I would dare touch it and. Also another another I was wrong is the Liverpool Cathedral grand organ is the largest and then the Royal Albert Hall and call 2nd largest course a hole and also another very famous organ of course was to cathedrals organ incredibly famous. And then there King's Chapel at Cambridge as well as got quite a stunning organ too some led to believe that we couldn't visit North Cathedral this morning. That hearing from the chorus does he practice every day to make sure they're at their best when they sing in this fantastic building while he's being given special access to their rehearsal this morning and to be chatting with the corridors and the master of music at the cathedral actually great just after 8 o'clock all the choir make their way to the music room and this is where they have their rehearsals with the master of music at the cathedral actually groat they're all very well behaved there at the moment and quite a range of ages to what's the youngest and older so the youngest boys are in the choir 8 years old and they usually carry on up to round about the age of 13 and they have a girls' choir as well which is for secondary school aged girls starting at age 11 through to 18 and I guess there are more people who want to be in the choir who can't get in Yes Well there we're very fortunate there is there is a lot of demand for place in the choir it's a wonderful opportunity for anyone to sing in the cathedral here actually no matter who you are but for children to have the opportunity to sing here on a daily basis I think it's the best possible musical start in life and tonight of course you've got a very special concert I'll ask you about your 2nd because Ben and Daniel are just 2 members of the choir. Big concert tonight so you nervous yeah yeah yeah looking forward to it yeah yeah how long have you been in the choir this is my full 4th year right. How long can you stay in the choir so your voice breaks Yeah yeah. Looking forward to Christmas yeah you are but there's this big concert tonight isn't it actually yes we have our new cathedral choir Christmas concert this evening which we welcome many hundreds of people and it's always a wonderful start in a way to our Christmas here with the to choir and then of course over the 10 days ahead we have a very very busy time and we look forward to singing to really well thousands of people who come to the many services that take place here and the song that we. Can hear them singing in the background the moment is going to be in tonight's Yes and that's the angels car by John Russia that we were just rehearsing when you came in then so that's he's going to be one of the items in our concerts not on the concert tonight actually we're able to include a few little things which we wouldn't normally sing in our couse of his is there a few sort of festive fun things at the at the end of the concepts a chance to get the sleigh bells in the Santa hats out. Very good warning that come out at breakfast on B.B.C. Radio over there the choristers. Cathedral lovely side looking down the nave at the beautiful organ then in front of me there's a volunteer Michael she's going at that found. This is from donated by round trees was in it who had the caramel caramel to be poured into that Rose and they donated it to the cathedral it's a beauty I mean beautiful copper it works so well and I'm just so impressed with her polishing because I mean you could see your face in that. I'm assuming that she's a volunteer and she was really about the voluntary service in a moment here but the people clean the windows cleaning the cathedral I mean that just shows dedication doesn't absolutely every has that role in the equation and you get the experience of just. Creating a bit of history is really lovely really nice Absolutely OK right $927.00 it comes out of breakfast on B.B.C. Radio Norfolk and if you've not heard access all areas before it's our options to go behind the scenes as north of the institution of building a public body we tell the stories of the people who make it happen make it tick and I think we've told some stories this morning from the perspective of people who wouldn't usually be featured on a radio program such as ours I think it's so important because this is a really big operation here at the cathedral and I said a few times it's not really a huge team if you think about the impact the cathedral has if you think about the size of the estate it's not a massive team who are charged with keeping this going for the public and they do an absolutely superb job and there are so many interesting things coming up in their calendar do you have a look at the you know the the everyday services that you'd expect to find but also this helter skelter which I've been telling you about this morning where you can see the cathedral differently that's coming in August next year D.P. The dinosaur coming here in a 2 years' time so I mean some fantastic stuff which moves the cathedral on and keeps it relevant to make sure that it remains at the heart of our community and of course naturally it's very much at the heart of what's happening in the next couple weeks as we celebrate Christmas 928 Nicorette a preface that process and travel. Thank you very much very busy in the center of your heading towards the shots this morning in Sydney towards chapel field have got delays pretty much coming from the flyover all the way towards the great hill found about adding an extra 10 minutes on top of your normal journey time heading in on the very busy as well an extra 10 minutes towards Great still also heading in on the on thank road at least an extra 15 minutes on top of your normal journey time was also very busy for coming from the market towards the Stevens roundabout adding at least an extra 10 minutes there the day were married in and out of North very busy in both directions towards the very long Water Lane an extra 10 minutes on top of your normal journey time in both directions had reports of a collision earlier near to Dunston hold the engines heading away from the origin the A 140 the switch or a number keys have now is not now coming up if you can safely update me on anything else 0803 X. 97321. Good morning it comes out at breakfast on B.B.C. Radio Norfolk 930 now we're broadcasting from the cathedral this morning but I know it's radio so it's not always easy to try and work out in your mind as you're listening where we are so we're in the Navy at the moment I'm Antony Isaacs B.B.C. Radio Norfolk's religious affairs producer and a presenter is just going to guide us around the cathedral. In the home to the moment for the smallest member of the cathedral staff who does attend most of the services most of the events that. I can normally be found sitting above a suit so you see above a heating grate and that his buds who is the cathedral cats who. Look on the left hand side he might be sort of. Yes a much. Beauty is a really beautiful cats and lounges around very happily seize all the visitors make sure that they're all it all out is is the bit of a social that he has a bed in one of the offices so he can sleep but the one who calls the need to make sure is that at the end of the end of the angels Danny that Budge is out so the burglar alarm stays intact and he doesn't accidentally set it off but this is as you can see walk up here they're getting the staging out ready for part of the services later on and through and again beautiful lighting very natural lighting and I want to show you some of the sting us one is so it's on this side we've got. Stained glass image of Christ on the cross the Jesus being presented in the temple and then when you come up further long hair very very different style. And this one very very different you see the contrast immediately Nic Yes it's well this is almost it's very modern so the others is very traditional stained glass window this one appears to me to be much more modern It just works on the 2 predominant cult color themes being yellow and blue with semicircles and some of the panes of different colors there are be difficult for me to say without reading the little note that Tim is pointing to what this is what this is meant to depict but I would suggest that just looking at it this is a much more modern piece yes absolutely beautiful it's in celebration of the service given to the University of East Anglia Norwich Norfolk Elizabeth and Steve Cole and more Wilson who love this place and again next time you see the red version of the same when they're absolutely beautiful they are there they really are stunning so just mix in in this kind of in that's very modern You just go to show that you can do things modality can also complement traditional is trying at that point earlier when I was saying that to that to the Dean that the Cathedral has to do 2 things it has to respect and not back to the past it is a very traditional setting it's at the heart of our city and county but at the same time it has to be relevant to people in 2001 the same $1000.00 now because 287-2019 so it's got to provide a service to the populace today who would still want to use it and still wish to come in here and I think it's seen as a sense of the past I'm missing a bit of the future this morning with the church assembly it's actually a very exciting space absolutely let's head through underneath the organ quite literally and to the choir store walls and this is where the choir sit and gosh this this feels immediately festive if you see media like Christmas doesn't it it does. In the the intricate carving of the world it's beautifully beautifully designed in the paneling and the artwork here is absolutely stunning but the the fact that it's such a wide space with as you say natural light. As you can see here it's very different it kind of closes in on you and with this this dark wood around you then it's very atmospheric and it's absolute beautiful We've got this little candle holders which I've got at the moment they've got little electronic bulbs in them but in the past these would have been candles but can you see what I'm saying now about the House of Commons So let's I mean just the safe yard and you sit on this side OK but you're the government so the man to be the consult with the government and I'll sit over here so this point I make up the magic in the Labor Party so you could see can't you how this was set out with with in the Commons and indeed in the Lords as well with opposing sides and of course as a chorused as call to each other you've got the parliamentarians who bait each other across the chamber so you can see can't you in this kind of setting where the inspiration for Parliament came from absolutely and it is a really beautiful setting and just do it just with each of the choir stalls and a huge choir the cathedral as it rehearsing every day and as you can see a lot along from beyond the very top of the cleat all looking again just beautiful staying glass the boxes telling that biblical story I didn't realize that actually speaking. About the fact they tell the entire story of the Bible through the boxes and they are absolutely wonderful as his Savior chapel just beyond here as well which of course is a very symbolic and and important for those with a military background or with a real deep respect for the British military and since A.V. Is chapel through there has got a number of stones in commemoration for those who have fallen in the pursuit of liberty or for armed forces of this country we're going to risk moving a bit further down because I think just if the microphone will hold it might. Try to see whether there is a budget around which as well he's just over here now will this holds or will we disappear. Might disappear no we are still there are very is and there is so this is barge the cat who is sleeping behind the pews at the moment. Was so sweet isn't it budget become a bit of a star of the cathedral in fact actually we just say something else which is bad related if you have a look here which I guess I don't know the terminology would be the head chorister but it's not their cost of the person who sit here because because whatever. But there's little dent in the party that's where bulge likes to sit that is where that is where but by just places which is very very sweet and again people coming into the cathedral all the time and then you look back and you realize the size of this building and again as you're saying earlier just about the simple beach architecture the construction of this place the amount of our I mean the thing that I find so amazing about the cathedral is if you think about the health and safety on a site these days if you think about the infrastructure which is brought in to build a development a 3rd of this size now look at this is it 50 years in the main part to build and I don't know how many men were building it but it would have been a real feat to collect the stone to gather the stone which I think comes came from Northern France Yes And and then to bring it to knowledge and then to build this building this arena and I used the word arena almost in in the Romanesque style of the phrase because of the the vastness of this I mean it is a staggering feat but then think about what this city has seen this actually get quite emotional level is that this you know this by the punches up into the sky was taken Astrue the points of British history that is seen as true and of course if you are sitting at the top of the spire and you're looking out across the city when the bombs rained down below on our city in the 2nd world war if you think about the people here going back to the 1st World War who have come and said a prayer in the Navy and then gone off to conflict if you think about the if you just look at the if you look at the flags. It's beneath us and you can see the marks in the flagstones of where thousands of feet of water cross them over history all the different stories to tell or their own hopes and dreams and then fade off into history the thing that has been constant through all of that is this building which means so much to us now and has meant so much to generations before and this will be news not just for worship and for people of faith but this will bring used by the community by the people of the city as a place to come together as a place to give thanks or pray or simply simply meet people and discuss and that's the whole aim of the cathedral going going forward is that this remains relevant to people today and it becomes a place where people can use it and share it it is an absolutely wonderful building now we will take you around the cathedral estate this morning so let's get back to the library now. Many of you know there's a library here at the cathedral but you may not have been into the library but I think after you hear this you might want to pay a visit to the library the library here incorporates the dean and chapters historic lection as well as the library of the Lincoln theological Institute thousands of books line the shelves all under the watchful eye of the cathedrals curator and librarian Goodrem Warren. It I'm Katrin Warren and I'm the librarian curator OK for our listeners tell us where we are please we are standing in the library in a particular part of the library which is the historic library say we have main parts to our collection this is storage collection which is about $8000.00 volumes and also a modern theology collection of about $25000.00 volumes which is a line collection this is a very special space because as far as I can see meters in front of me you know is long what feels like corridor with books either side lots of beautiful books around you this quite a therapeutic place to work it's a wonderful space where actually above the South range of the cloister so with the OP a south range so we've got medieval bosses just beneath our feet and it's been set up to try and make it look a bit like an Oxbridge college library so you've got amazing in the atmosphere or it's never been there before we're going to walk and talk just to demonstrate the length of a of the expanse of this library manages to cover the number of books you've got to do you know how many books you've got we've got about 8000 in this but. In the space of a historic collection that's actually volumes rather than books because sometimes you have a volume that's got 2 books in it or a lot of pamphlets that have been bound together so in terms of items it's more like 9000 and in terms of the age of some of these books I mean I'm just walking past them and I'm seeing some of these books here which I mean they're behind glass These were the guest is to protect them but they look absolutely ancient and yes our earliest printed book was printed in 14th 74 bearing in mind that the. The the invention of the move will type printing press is thought to have happened about 1450 that's quite early but they come right up to the modern day so we've got a lot of things from the 16th 17th century that's the kind of thing that you've just spotted in the case that you will standing next to a Says I came in here I said I just love to spend time in here and actually people can you're very much so open to the public we are very definitely we have a reading room where anybody can use for their own study or to come and use our books the historic collection is available for use but clearly is a reference collection and we try to have out at one end of historical action a small display of books to give an idea of some of the things that we have in the collection so a real treat now on the table in front of me we have a very special book so introduce me to the book and just tell me what do we actually know about this book the book in question is Fox is John Fox It's known as The Book of Martyrs more properly acts and monuments it's a book that was put together the 1st edition was $1563.00 what we've got here is an edition part of the 2nd edition which was printed in $1570.00 and our copy what's really exciting there are copies that we've just had it restored it had a big conservation job done on it it was a rather sad looking pile of papers in a box and it needed a lot of work and a conservative has just spent a huge amount of time conserving it rebuilding some of the pages and putting it into a binding which. Means that we can now handle it it's really excited about the job that they've done is absolutely extraordinary and it's so important because it preserves it for future generations and I've at the proved bridges having a look at it and the stories are told in this book are actually essential for British history they are it's a very important work in historic terms both in terms of the history of printing because when it was produced it was the largest book at that time that had ever been printed in England it is sizable isn't it's a big book it's huge and we only have about half of it and we've got about a 1000 pages sitting in front of us so it's a huge home and it was something that was produced to tell the story of the Protestant martyrs so 15631570 it's during Elizabeth reign and what John Fox is trying to do is bring together stories documents a whole lot of evidence about people who died for their faith. Over a number of centuries could see what he tries to do is take it backwards in time so not just the period of the Reformation book but right back but then brings all this material together and he even spent a couple of years in Norwich staying with that then bishop Bishop Parkhurst doing some research about the no martyrs It is incredible so this his skill as a historian and then the modern skill of the restoration of this book and it's amazing because paper is such a fragile material but the way in which this has been restored so now it can be used as a book has been rebound is absolutely fantastic but this is so interesting in front of me I've got some plastic bags and these plastic bags in these plastic bags basically a lot of old Mark a lot of old string just tell me about this where the open string is because the book was bound when we had it the text block was saying together but didn't have a the outside binding on it and the conservatives saying. Moved the thread that was used originally to so it's together so that we've got that and then this wonderful bag of dirt is the dirt that came out of it just shows how much stuff accumulates in a book when it gets new. For those of you at home this looks like what you might empty from a Hoover but actually what I love about this is this little bag is full of string and fluff and dirt from a myth people's nails and dead skin now I know that sounds awfully awfully revolting but in your hand you are carrying history and you must never throw that bag away absolutely I have to admit I was very excited when he presented it to me because when you see a book that's nice and clean you don't necessarily realize just how much gathers in it and it is history we we don't know who's handled this book over the years and there's probably quite a lot of clues in here is to who has handled it that's what's so special about it to think you know the hands of the been placed upon this book the sort of glanced across the Texas is what I absolutely love about books and about libraries it must be such a privilege to be able to to work in here and to work with the this kind of quality historical object it's a huge privilege and hopefully one of the things that we're doing is making accessible to other people in maintaining that accessibility over the next few years as well. These things things are amazingly important bits of history and that they tell us where we've come from and to give us an idea where we might be getting this is one book with some amazing stories in it and I'm surrounded in a room with thousands of books I would implore you to come and have a look. And the library is open to the public have a look on the cathedral website for all the times and there's a number of seminars and workshops that take place in the library as well this is Nick Conrad at breakfast on B.B.C.

Radio Norfolk and this is the last part of this program today we've been here since 630 at the cathedral. Part of access all areas and we've had a brilliant time looking behind the scenes and talking to many people who make this cathedral and sure this cathedral remains a very special part of our county now a community like will simply wouldn't function without volunteers giving their time to help so let's find out more about the kind of work that they do with Cannon and the Bryant and the volunteers here Steve Stone and Patrick Smith good morning to all of you. Let me start with you cannon and the bride So let's talk about the the role of volunteers in the cathedral how essential other vital without the wall and this place just wouldn't function just to give you some idea of the scale of it we've got $550.00 volunteers doing all sorts of jobs from welcoming guiding helping our refractory our shop helping with the education program just all areas depend on volunteers the people who come here to volunteer and they've got a passion for the cathedral they hear because they love this building they want to give something to it I always say I mean that's the most important thing a volunteer needs they just need to love the space they love being in the space and big able to been suggested for it I think is the perfect time to do this interview because to my right hand side there's a lady who's been going at the front with Brasso for about 20 minutes and it's starting to look absolutely spectacular in terms of what the volunteers are doing they're doing a range of work they really are doing work it's not actually as simple as just standing around and do you know just welcoming people or just saying hello to people there's a lot of physical work they're doing here I always say they're not the icing on the cake they are the cake and you know hospitality is so important to everything we do here making sure that all of us as a world that they know their way around the site will value because that's what this place stands for it stands for that great sense of welcome and hospitality packages a guide here Patrick Patrick just tell us a bit more about what you do well we welcome visitors obviously but we got a great variety of visitors and of course it's great privilege to be a guide. Do you have to know your stuff about the cathedral in the wider est I'm sure you get asked some interesting questions we do get asked very interesting interesting questions actually and of course we gone quite astringent course before we can become a guide and we are assessed by Canon handy and if we pass we were allowed to wear the coveted green sash people love seeing as well I'm sure they like coming up and I like asking many questions like S N 10 you become a bit of a historian yourself they have an expert on this building yes part of our course is quite a lot of research we have to do in our own right to actually get background information about the cathedral and how it works OK Steve tell me. MORROW It is a welcome or. Stand on the door in a hostile way and welcome visitors from or all over the world locals far away of all ages and those with faith and no faith that's so important isn't it to give people a warm welcome to the cathedral to say you are very welcome here yes it yes it is we follow the Benedictine rule of hospitality and welcoming people as if they were Christ himself and so we're the 1st face to be seen often so it's so important to welcome and we don't pounce on and we do have visitors who come here regular day they prefer to be left alone to commune and pray whatever but lots of visitors we welcome them we chat about the cathedral we give them a free card and talk through the map and so it's it's incredibly enjoyable when they've been around spent an hour or 2 men combatants they were We've enjoyed have is it thank you very much that it's most satisfying it's only things that you could do 70 projects that you could spend time on and volunteer for so why the cathedral it is a very special place I'm fortunate in that my wife Diana here is a volunteer in the gift shop and she also welcomes occasionally she's in there we come together we do run a business it's rather a challenging business in. The construction industry and we have a busy family life and there are times things get rather heavy duty for to use the term and we found when we drive in from home on the approach that as soon as we see the cathedral heart and spirit to raise we relax we chill so it's a kind of a sanctuary in a rather selfish way but to meet people from everywhere and shuts them from all all of the world it's really a privilege it's fantastic I shouldn't jump to conclusions or I just assume that you must be retired but you're not you're still very active you're still working people listening in this morning how do you find the time to do that run a business and volunteer well being self-employed I've got freedoms are kind of prioritize matters obviously the business is important but what this for us from Turner and myself is important to us we would be a loss without coming here so we do manage to find the time and there's quite a few of people who do work and then volunteer at we can yes and I think it's actually good to have a mixture of ages involved here and so important isn't it because we're trying to bring in the next generation of volunteers who really keep this going Steve let me just come back here on this if somebody asked you what do you get out of it how do you answer that question well as you've said is a very special place and it's in fact one of the most intact Norman cathedrals in the country which makes it very attractive to up to the guides from the historical point of view and also of course this building this cathedral represents 900 years of almost continuous worship and the history that goes with it and as a guide you've got to get on top of all that so you can. Transmit your enthusiasm to all the various visitors here I just love that it feels like a wider family and there's a huge amount of pride and again I'm just going to I'm going have to mention the font again because this is still being polished as we. And it's still looking fantastic but it's great pride in the work here to Canada and the bra and that's the main thing pride progeny our environment pride in what we have here in the city but also we want to show it off to people we want to say to people wherever you've come from around the world look such a special part of the U.K. This building look what we've got we want law to be very very proud of this building we want them to feel that it is their building that this is part of their history their heritage and yes then we want to say to people their original for an amazing place come and see us and come and enjoy this wonderful 900 year old building Stephen Patrick thank you so much for your time I really appreciate that all the best and continue volunteering I think it's fantastic just for the final part of the program which will stick with candy Bryant and Emma Knight says the marketing manager here at the cathedral I just want to look ahead a lot of what we've been talking about is the history but this building continues to be relevant and continues to be a great forum for quiet reflection for prayer to come together as a community for celebration in times of sadness and also to welcome in from across the world interesting things that we as a community want to come together to do and see so we're talking helter skelter in August next year and dipping the dinosaur in 2020 let's start with the helter skelter. I want to come back that I think is a fantastic idea people might say utter lunacy you're going to erect a helter skelter in the middle of a beautiful cathedral one earth would you do that well historically all sorts of things have happened in this navel of the cathedral because it was the people space markets were held here and other celebrations the whole of life was known here and so why shouldn't something that also brings fun just don't really love that what would this of this place a been like what would it have sounded like what would it have smelt like when there was a market in well it would have been quite full. It all looks terribly kind of well organized now and you know cause. Full and clean it might have looked better a little different from Violet. Just 2 weeks ago the role of a cargo cult to association had a Christmas market here continuing that tradition even into the modern day. Where now it's peaceful and quiet was was full of people or I loved was even in those moments where we had the market in here and you know all the stores and everybody was busy buying everything then you'd see someone nudge the neighbor and say if you looked up top and suddenly they would just be absolutely still in the middle of this market looking up slightly unwrapped by the building Absolutely yeah it is all engrossing is a fantastic space coming up in the next couple of years major events. And this and this building at the center of the map not just here in our county but across the country country and defeat the dinosaur very much so as part of that are you expecting thousands of people Emma to come through to C.D.P. Many thousands people come through to have a look at this helter skelter Yes we definitely obviously with the health of scales we're expecting lots of people and then we're the following year in 2020 when he comes along to be here in the cathedral and as I mentioned earlier we're the only cathedral in the country that's going to have to be here is part of the National and it's the last stop on the Tories Well if we go back to the Natural History Museum because the jewel sells itself doesn't it as a space it is the most beautiful space but it's I think people be surprised listening in this morning how much this cathedral is used so we've had to move out for the assembly that came in here with you know 1000 children how many there were the. Numbers coming through the through the doors and then now building a stage for another service this evening and there's another service that's been service has been going on all this morning as well around the cathedral this is a much this is a much loved and very well used building Yes it definitely it's loved by all really visitors people that come here every day sort of a very wide amount of people and we just love even more people come and enjoy our cathedral here really which is lighter so welcome everybody to come and see what we have to offer here and I thank you and we thank you thank you so much for your time . This morning and thank you for putting this together for us is much appreciated it has been the most lovely morning broadcasting from the cathedral as part of access all areas it's the most unique and most special space that we have in this county of ours and I have this tremendous pride in Norfolk and others tremendous pride in this building but it's amazing to get behind the scenes and to meet the people who make this take and you can be part of the story as well a story which has lasted hundreds of years by volunteering and giving your time and your effort to ensure that this building stays at the center of our community for many 100 years to come because he's next thank you very much Nicholas great show this morning from they really really enjoyed it Chrissie Jackson now until 10 o'clock teaser today Strictly Come Dancing final will be on our topics us a little bit later on but how many times including this year has Kevin Clifton reached the final 3507.
