WITH reference to the letter "Palace for Arc Light" (October 8), I doubt whether the author, who writes of "pampered luxury", has ever seen the inside of Bishopthorpe Palace.
Some years ago I had a tour of the building. I was surprised at the plain simplicity of the furnishings, amounting almost to austerity. It was certainly far from luxurious.
Does J H Roy consider that the Archbishop should conduct the business of the diocese while seated under a fig tree?
