CHANGING a lightbulb at work might not seem the most daunting of tasks. However, for Gary Price, it gets a bit more involved.
Gary is clerk of works at Salisbury Cathedral, and the bulb he had to change was outside the cathedral’s 123 metre-high spire.
So, to complete his task, Gary had to climb up inside the tower, before exiting through a small door to make the final ascent on the outside – accompanied by Arthur Needham and Richard Pike.
“It’s a job that needs doing about once every four years,” a cathedral spokesperson said.
