The ‘Cathedral of the Wolds’, All Saints’ Church in Pocklington, throws its doors open to celebrate its reopening after redecoration, installation of new lighting and renovation of some of its stained glass with ‘Let There Be Light’ events during the All Saints’ Festival weekend on the 2nd and 3rd November.
The Grade 1 listed medieval building held its first main service for 10 weeks on Sunday 13th October in a blaze of light benefiting from a digitally controlled LED system to show the historic building in its full splendour.
Churchwarden Nigel Laws explained “It’s not just about the brightness of light, but also the quality of light. The new lighting will make it easier for everyone and enable us to have the right lighting for the right occasion. It is now possible to have the lights on in 16 different ‘scenes’ according to how the building is used, whether as a place of public worship, heritage destination or concert venue.”
