According to an article at telegraph.co.uk,
Pillars holding up Canterbury Cathedral, the mother church of Anglicanism, are being held together with duct tape because of a shortage of money to carry out urgent repairs …
… A fifth of the structure’s internal marble pillars are currently held together by duct tape.
In July, masonry around the Great South Window fell out, forcing the authorities to fence off the area around the window and south entrance to protect the public.
There are fears that the fourteenth century window, which is 80ft tall, could collapse unless work is carried out immediately. It is estimated that the repairs for this alone will cost at least £500,000 and could take up to 12 months, delaying other projects.
