If you have any stories from their various periods of residence in Durham, please send them to Canon Rosalind Brown at Durham Cathedral so that they can be included. Please include your contact details (although these will not be published) and send them to tnave.canon@durhamcathedral.co.uk or c/o The Chapter Office, The College, Durham, DH1 3EH. Please pass this message on to anyone else who might be able to contribute to what, it is hoped, will be an affectionate tribute as well as a way of recording memories that will otherwise be lost to posterity.
