What’s happening here?

The gable cross, behind this scaffolding has become somewhat wobbly, so Alec Curtis, one of the team of stonemasons at the Cathedral, is taking it down, creating a new base stone (which has cracked) and then putting it back up with some stainless steel pins to make it more secure.

When he’s done that, he’ll be moving into the church to begin work on stabilising the 1895 marble floor in the sanctuary, around the high altar.
