THE story of a North-East cathedral is being brought to life through Lego.
A SERIES of mini films, made by Lintelfilm, have been produced to recreate the history of Durham Cathedral.
From the life of St Cuthbert to cathedral life today, the five films have been produced using the popular toy building blocks.
Inspired by a fundraising project to build the cathedral out of Lego, the films are being produced ahead of the launch of Open Treasure – the cathedral’s new exhibition opening on July 23.
Ruth Robson, head of marketing and events at Durham Cathedral, said: “Durham Cathedral in Lego has been such an important part of life at Durham Cathedral for the last three years, we thought it fitting to immortalise the project through Lego whilst raising awareness of Open Treasure.
“The films retell the history of Durham Cathedral in a fun and imaginative way. They are designed to encourage people to rediscover the Cathedral’s story, support Durham Cathedral LEGO Build, and inspire them to visit Open Treasure, which is open to the public from Saturday 23 July.”
Two films telling the story of St Cuthbert and the building of Durham Cathedral have been released and can be viewed at www.durhamcathedral.co.uk/lego-story or http//lintelfilm.uk
