Seven programmes in which Malcolm Billings explores the world of archaeology.
6: Wells Cathedral
The west front of Wells Cathedral is one of the glories of English church architecture and its display of medieval statuary is the largest in Europe. But wind, rain, soot and frost have taken their toll and the 13th-century statues are in need of repair.
Over the last few years a major conservation operation has been undertaken at Wells, affording archaeologists and architects an opportunity to make a close study of the West Front and its statues. Producer JOHN KNIGHT BBC Bristol long wave only

When the clergy of St
Edmundsbury Cathedral in Suffolk recently decreed that no more girls should be taken into the choir they were falling into line with all the other
Anglican Cathedrals in Britain. But they were putting themselves out of step with most other places of worship -
83 per cent of parish churches include girls and women in their choirs. Are the Cathedrals right to defend the boys-only treble line or are the parish churches more in tune with the times?
Bob Prizeman looks for answers and examines the musical and pastoral questions involved.
