Lecturn and Library of Remembrance Liverpool played a vital part in both World Wars as the control centre for the Atlantic convoys. The Cathedral holds Books of Remembrance containing the names of seafarers and soldiers from the Liverpool Regiment who died in those wars, and more recently in the Falklands War.
On the initiative of the Merseyside Master Mariners’ Club, the Cathedral authorities agreed the Books were not displayed adequately. As a result the Cathedral agreed to design a new lectern for them, and to provide improved lighting and to display them in a more prominent position. The Books are now housed in greater safety and are more easily accessible.

Charity football sponsorship Towngate once again, were sponsors of the Agency Team at the Yorkshire Property Charity Football match, held to raise money for the childrens charity; Barnardos, which took place on the 12th September 2013. The match was played on the purpose built, full sized football pitch at Wellington Place, Leeds.
Towngate PLC is proud to have been a party to this improvement and to have had the opportunity to contribute towards the cost of the work.
Fiona’s “Hen Do” is taking place in Whitby on the infamous Goth Weekend. The Towngate girls will be attending in full costume! (watch out for the images later in the year!). It is non stop celebrations for Fiona this year as she also celebrated her 50th birthday in March. Congratulations Fiona!
The event was very well attended and was followed by a dinner at the Queens Hotel, which helped compensate for the Agents defeat!
