A small question

A day spent in our Diocesan cathedral yesterday - a clergy study day as a preliminary to the Conference Days next year. The speaker was of some interest, but the building always disappoints me. I like my cathedrals to be old, echoing, with numerous side chapels and uneven flagstone floors. Bury St Edmunds is relatively new, and just feels like a large parish church, despite the new and impressive tower that has recently been completed. Still, there's one interesting memorial to a judge which makes me wonder if he would still be on the bench in these days of over-protection of children. Would he have got his Criminal Records Bureau clearence certificate?
