Rochester, England’s second oldest cathedral was awarded a £3.55 million grant by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Hidden Treasures and Fresh Expressions project focused on the complete restoration and renovation of the cathedral’s crypt and library. Replacement of the library floor was part of the refurbishment. It was essential that the floor was practical, sustainable and hardwearing, yet in keeping with the historical features of this stunning building. Sutton Timber, the chosen supplier for the flooring, provided mixed width solid elm boards for the project.
