Durham Cathedral

A Memory of Durham.

My granddad and nana, Lydia and Alan Field, lived in the house under the arches to the Cathedral. He was the porter and I remember helping him ring the bell in the cathedral. His office or Lodge as we called it, was opposite the house. It was filled with stuffed animals. I also remember the Queen when she visited and presented my Granddad with Maundy money for his services to the Cathedral. I lived in Pity Me with mum, dad and three brothers and two sisters. My maiden name was Bell. I wonder if anyone remembers them or me.
