Launched this month to mark national Heritage Treasures Day, the Association of English Cathedrals has launched a competition to find the best loved treasure based on their #Cathedral Treasures winter campaign.
And Lichfield Cathedral's Lichfield Angel has made it into the top ten, with people asked to cast their vote for the overall winner.
The campaign was based on the latest volume by Janet Gough, OBE, author, lecturer and advisor on historic churches and cathedrals, called Deans’ Choice: Cathedral Treasures of England and Wales.
The volume tells the story of 50 treasures from 44 Church of England cathedrals and six cathedrals from the Church in Wales - each one was chosen by the Dean or senior clergy of the cathedral featured.
The AEC shared these 50 remarkable treasures across their social media platforms over 50 days and ten treasures have made it to the final – determined by the number of likes, shares, and engagements throughout the campaign.
Ten treasures have made it the final. Voters choose their favourite from the final ten and leave their name and email address to be in with the chance to win one of three copies of Janet’s book chosen in a random draw at the end of the competition next month.
If you would like to vote for your favourite then just follow this link. This will take you directly onto their website.
