Cathedral Cats by Richard Surman
In this engaging book, Richard Surman captures the fascinating life stories of cats who make their homes in and around the grandeur of Britain's cathedrals. Find out about Tomkin, the patron cat of Chelmsford Cathedral, who was rescued from a derelict house in south London, or Olsen, the Siamese from Chester Cathedral whose nocturnal wanderings often end up at the local jazz club. From Boots of Ely to Winston and Wallace of Edinburgh, Cathedral Cats offers a distinctive insight into life in the environs of some of Britain's most historic buildings. This is a unique way to discover some of Britain's beautiful cathedrals, with plenty of feline interest along the way.
