Rochester Cathedral has been awarded more than £3.5million by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The money will go towards creating and running exhibitions and workshops in the crypt and library.
The cash boost will also mean that people will have access to parts of the Cathedral that they have not seen before. David Johns reports.
