Considerable uiieasiness has been caused
by the statement that Westminster Abb
hey Is in a serious. If not hopeless condi,
ton of decay. at least as far as some por-
tons of the fabric are concerned. IT
could hardly be expected that stonework
which has been exposed for centuries TO
the vagaries of the English climate would
preserve its freshness and stability. The
problem has been complicated during the
last half century by the enormous guam
tity of smoke in the London atmosphere,
although. with the increasing use of gas
and electricity for lighting. heating and
cooking purposes. this factor Is becoming
less conspicuous That there is no oc-
casion for alarm is the emphatic opinion
of w. r. Lethaby. the architect of the
abbey, as Expressed to Morning Post
representative last evening. Work is
always going on at the abbey, he said.
which is what might be expected, when
the great age of the building is taken into
account, but / believe We have got to the
stage when the repairs are overtaking the
decay. The major portion of the repairs
OH the north front has been completed
and only a little now remains to be done
there. The front indeed is In an excellent
state. In the cloisters again the decay
las been arrested. These date back to
the fourteenth century ard many por-
tons were crunlbling away when we took
them in hand. The arches and the vault
ing as we'll the pillars attached to
the wall were affected. By submitting the
stone to a chemical process-the Baryta
treatment-we have made wonderful prog
ress and at the present time the cloisters
are remarkably sound considering their
age. 1t may be said that the fabric Of
Westminster Abbey taken the whole
is in a much better condition than 1t
was ten years ago.
