St Albans Cathedral I -------------------------------------------------------------------- People : ---------------------------------- Author : William Morris Text : ---------------------------------- As honorary secretary of the "Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings," I cannot help expressing my satisfaction, which I have no doubt will be shared by all my colleagues, at the letter which appears in The Times of to-day from Lord Carnarvon, as chairman of the Society of Antiquaries of London, with reference to the contemplated alteration of the roof of St. Albans Abbey. I have no doubt that the opinion expressed by Lord Carnarvon represents the feeling of antiquaries and men of taste throughout the country very generally. Our society has already written to the "Restoration Committee" of St. Albans deprecating the contemplated alterations. Letter to the Times, 2 August 1878.
