We now can officially record on our data base that the Campaign has reached one million pounds. That's a fifth of the way, after two of the most difficult years on record for fund raising. Thanks to everyone.Not that we actually have a million pounds in the bank. A great deal has already been spent on the restoration of the Sanctuary, Lady Chapel and Relic Chapel. And quite a lot on the boring, invisible necessities, like plans and surveys, reports and planning applications. There'll be more of that before we can show you two bricks put together - the archaeological assessment, tender drawings, elf-and-safety requirements, structural surveys... if modern building regulations had been in force Solomon would never have completed his Temple. He took seven years on the Temple and fourteen on the palace, we could still beat him to it. Some important fund-raising events coming up! (see next item)
