Wakefield Cathedral

Dave Myers visits Wakefield Cathedral in West Yorkshire, taking in the architectural masterpiece as it's brought into the 21st century. Dave gets a closer look at what the builders unearthed beneath the cathedral's floors and has a once-in-a-lifetime chance of opening a time capsule found during restoration. He also helps the builders to restore stone carvings that make up the elaborately decorated Quire. With Wakefield having had a booming wool trade in Tudor times, Dave puts his sheep-herding skills to the test.
