St Cuthbert’s Pectoral Cross: Enduring symbols of Durham Life

On day two of Heritage Open Days 2020, we bring you this fascinating Ten Minute Talk, filmed a few years ago, by Latoya Schadel, Gallery Attendant at Open Treasure, the museum of Durham Cathedral. Learn about the tiny pectoral cross associated with St Cuthbert, its intricate details and fascinating history. Latoya also explores how the symbol is present in life in Durham today.
