PART of Worcester's historic cathedral will be closed briefly while repairs are carried out.

A section of roof over the quire at Worcester Cathedral was damaged in November when Storm Arwen lashed the county.

Since then, repairs have been ongoing after a piece of masonry from the tower fell through the roof.

In an update, the cathedral's management confirmed it would close again while the finishing touches are put to the repairs.

It will be closed from August 1 to 15 while the internal work is carried out.

A spokesperson said: "Repair work is nearing completion following damage caused by Storm Arwen in November 2021.

"Although the quire reopened in April, it will be closed again for approximately two weeks, from August 1 to 15, as internal works take place.

"This means there is no access to King John's Tomb, Prince Arthur Tudor's Chantry and the misericords.

"The King John replica, donated by the British Library, is again on display in the west nave for all to enjoy, along with our popular King John touchscreen."

Repair works are now in their final phase.

Over the summer months there will be a lot of activity in the Cathedral as the vault repair is completed, the roof tiles replaced, and the cleaned organ pipes restored to their position.

While the work is ongoing, visitors are reminded the Cathedral may be slightly louder than usual.

The high winds brought about by Storm Arwen caused extensive damage to the Cathedral in November last year.

At the time, Bishop of Worcester Dr John Inge, said: "Through the night Storm Arwen has brought a large stone from the tower through the north choir aisle roof of Worcester Cathedral causing extensive damage.

"I hope it won’t be regarded as an act of God."

As a result, the medieval site was forced to close for the weekend, cancelling all its events in the process.
