WESTMINSTER ABBEY
NO IRREPARABLE DAMAGE. The Dean of Westminster, addressing the Historical and Literary Circle of the Devonshire Club, said that, although the Abbey had suffered fairly extensively from air raids, none of the damage was irreparable. The most serious loss was the roof of the lantern. If he had been asked what part of the Abbey they could spare without loss to history he would have said the roof of the lantern. It was late work done in 1870, and very bad work at that. It could easily be replaced.
