“I am, of course, extremely pleased that our beautiful and historic Lincoln Cathedral is to receive £395,000 under our Conservative-led Government for conservation and restoration of the masonry on the northwest turret.
“I am very grateful to Sajid Javid, the Culture Secretary, and Sir Paul Ruddock, the Chairman of the First World War Centenary Cathedral Repairs Fund Expert Panel, for this announcement.
“Lincoln Cathedral really is the jewel in our City’s Crown and, in my view, the finest Gothic building in Europe. I shall continue to work closely with the Dean of Lincoln, The Very Revd. Philip Buckler, and indeed everyone at the Cathedral, to ensure our Lincoln Cathedral continues to be conserved and restored so that it may also be appreciated and enjoyed by future generations.”
