S4. Ep2. In conversation with Rebecca Thompson, Director at St Paul’s Cathedral.

In this episode I am joined by Rebecca Thompson, Director of Property at St Paul’s Cathedral where responsibilities include leading the strategic development to ensure compliance, maintenance and restoration of this magnificent iconic building and its associated estate.

Rebecca shares what has been happening since we last spoke in series 1, episode 3.

We delve deeper into the world of working in the heritage sector. What is important about old buildings and why they are still relevant today and thoughts on their place in the future.

We discuss the amazing work St Paul’s Cathedral are doing to care for the buildings within their estate and how they are developing in-house skills through the introduction of a stone mason apprenticeship and a joinery apprenticeship and how this is only just the beginning of their vision to help people get into the heritage industry.

We also talk about the impact of climate change on buildings, particularly older ones and what we should lookout for to see signs of our historical landscape when we are out an about.

It will be an interesting listen for anyone wanting to learnmore about traditional buildings.
