by Louis MacNeice
Produced by John Glyn-Jones
This programme tells of the great cathedral, of its designer, of those who have prayed and preached there, of those who have been buried there, and of those who have tried to destroy it.
It is written on similar lines to the same author's programme about Westminster Abbey, though the present programme is rather shorter.
