Feilden Fowles has refurbished the medieval dining hall at Carlisle Cathedral in north-west England and extended it with a red sandstone entrance pavilion.
Befittingly called The Fratry, the name for a priory refectory, the overhaul makes the 16th-century listed building publicly accessible for the first time.

Feilden Fowles converted the hall and its vaulted undercroft into an event and teaching space, while the extension introduces a cafe and new entrance area.
The goal for The Fratry was to transform the building into an asset for the cathedral, open to the local community and schools.

The Addicted Gardener: The big stories of science from 2020
Donna Lane, Columnist
I think we can all agree that 2020 was a real corker and that we are happy to be ringing in a new year. Rather than post a lengthy “remembrance” of all that happened in 2020, I thought I’d share some of the interesting things I’ve discovered in the past couple of weeks.
According to CNN, 503 new species were named this year by London’s Natural History Museum. They include a critically endangered species of monkey, an armored slug and a lungless salamander that breathes through its skin. None of that will help you grow better tomatoes, but I thought you might find it interesting. I did.

(CNN) A monkey that lives on the edge of an extinct volcano, an amphibian that breathes through its skin and an armored slug are among the 503 new species named by London s Natural History Museum this year.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the museum may have been closed to the public for the longest duration of time since World War II, but researchers continued to toil behind the scenes, according to a news release published Tuesday.
These hundreds of new species have been described in 2020 by researchers working with specimens from the museum s vast collection.
