AN EMINENT academic will preach at a special cathedral service this weekend (November 21).

Dr Henry Dyson, Keeper of Fine Art at Durham University, will preach at Durham Cathedral’s annual Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors service at Sunday at 3.30pm.

The service is a way of thanking people who have supported the Cathedral, Durham University, Durham School, the Chorister School and other institutions in the city.

Girls, boys and adults will sing together in the choir and all are welcome to attend.
