Project Description:
It is the year 1891 in the 'newly built' St. Fin Barre's Cathedral. We are greeted on our arrival by ladies and gentleman, resplendent in crinoline dresses and elegant frock coats. The Verger leads us to the Chapter room, the Dean arrives and events begin to unfold. Conversations begin. The culmination of this brief experience is a meeting with Mr. Burges, the architect, who speaks to us of his work and shows us a selection of his models used in the construction. Tea is served in the style of 1891.
