Site 1 – South Transept (suspension)
The South Transept is a magnificent vaulted space with chapels off the central area, a niche with fragments of original paint, and the stained glass of the west windows which include Old Testament/Hebrew Bible representations of Judaism. The baptismal font from the original Saxon church of Aldhelm (c. 705) predates the cathedral by more than 400 years.
There is a large space above suitable for overhead work which can be suspended from wires spanning the triforium level, as shown in blue below.
The South Transept is approximately a 10m x 10m square in plan view. Using wires as shown, the top of the work can be as high as 9m above floor level. The bottom-most part of the work must be no lower than (TBC)m from floor level. All General Restrictions for Installations apply.

“The south transept of the cathedral is a place for baptisms and the font. It’s where the choir gathers and we pray together before and after services.”
