This is by no means an exhaustive list as it not does not include many of the major fires that have caused untold loss to the Cathedrals, but does show the determination to recover from disaster.

Over this time the buildings were subjected to much repair, renovation and alteration and we know, as did our forefathers, of the value of constant maintenance and the dire consequences of its omission. We have records of many of these campaigns of repair and alteration and it is fascinating to find that many of our current concerns are merely the continuation of worries of the past generations.
