  Not cheap advertising at all. The Lindum company donated the grass covering which would normally be £30k. That is not cheap. That is generous. The floor covering was imaginative.
  A great event for a great cause.
  The references to moneylenders being thrown out of the Temple is unwarranted. The people attending were not seeking to make money there. They were helping to fund the future well being of the Minster. Entirely honourable.

  Rubbish Statement . The Lindum Co no doubt are delighted with this lapse of good sense by the Minster Authorities . Of course they will expect other business from other areas and it is naive to think differently . Please will some one tell me is the Minster a place of worship or a pasture for sheep . Certainly the sheep followed the leader , thinking it was smart and fashionable to do this . I am disappointed in this Archbishop as he seemed a man of God and the People . There are more morally decent ways to fund the future of the Minster and laying a Lawn is not one but a cheap promotion . I am very concerned at the management of this iconic building . I regret i will altering my Will as i have grave concern . I will not want to put my money into the pockets of the High Stewards . Totally Irresponsible ."
