Architect fights to preserve Christchurch Catholic Cathedral

From Morning Report, 8:50 am on 7 August 2019

An architect and art historian is setting up an action group to oppose the demolition of one of the most well-known churches in Christchurch, the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament.

The church, registered as a Category 1 building with Heritage New Zealand, was damaged in the 2011 earthquakes and has sat in a state of disrepair ever since.

Dr Anna Crighton is from Historic Places Aotearoa. She talks to Susie Ferguson.
