CATHEDRAL WALLS CRUMBLING
£25,000 TO SAVE CHAUCER LINK
(By Gur Ramsay)
Through a Norman gateway, the shafts of which still stand, Thomas a Becket strode four days before the rash. word of a king sent him to his death, marched through the door-way and knelt to pray.
In the some church, two centuries later, Geoffrey Chaucer watched the pilgrims surge out on their way to honour the great martyr and found the setting which was to prove the foundation of English verse.
ROTTING..
Neglected by the world of sight- secrs, the world of wealth, the world of fashions, the church still stands to-day just south of London Bridge: grey, square-lowered, mas- sive, the first pure Gothle building In London; seeming to withstand without cffort the thunder of the passing traffic, the seeping of the passing tide.
But the very air of London. choked with the acid smoke of a thousand factories, infiltrated with moisture, la cating away the care of the stones that sheltered Primate and poet.
the soft Conselessly gnawing at sandstone, the atmosphere is rotting the bones of Southwark Cathedral,
Cross London Bridge and look at the church-it is worth it. The choir dates from 1200, just 100 years after the Norman Church was built. THEY BAKED IN CHAPEL
Go into the Lady Chapel, once leased to bakers who set up their ovens on the holy ground; stroll through behind the altar, where the founder of Harvard University used to bend the immee before. ho crosscit the Atlantic in a cockleshell; walk through the building that James 1. sold to the people of Southwark for £800.
Go-and touch the walls. They crumble away in your hand. Brush against a pillar-your, coat will be while. Dig a fingernail luto a groined vatif, rushing in Gotlife magic up to the roof, and you may trul at your feet a chunk of masonry as big as your Bist.
The Bishop and Chapter are op- praling for funds to arrest the decay of the church, dignified by cathedral status since 1905. Not that such a church needs dignifying.
$235,000 MEANS SAFETY For £25,000 this edince may be preserved för all time. For the cap!- ial that will produce £1,000 a year -one-two-hundrelh of what is need- ed to build a battleship-there can be saved for ever the greatest church that has over stood on this slo; the ancient gate to London from the south, where a church hus stood since before the rule of Alfred.

The filter traps only irri- tants. So that you get the real flavour of the tobacco. That's why the smoke tastes better."
"Well whether it's the tobacco or the tip, I never knew Virginia could taste like this. So rich and cool ..

Plenty of people have tried to im- prove on the smoke of Virginis tobacco. They have been trying for forty years.
Now success has been achieved with the du Maurier filter tip. By refining the smoke this exclusive tip reveals a luxury of flavour, which before was entirely unknown.
