Discover how the site of Durham Cathedral has been studied in the past, the artefacts found nearby and in surrounding villages and the people behind the work.  

Across the UK and beyond, many church leaders, researchers and commentators are observing signs of a changing religious landscape. While narratives of decline have often dominated discussions about Christianity, new questions are being raised about growing numbers of younger adults who are showing an interest in faith, spirituality and Christian community.
