CUMBRIA, ENGLAND -- Burlington Slate Ltd. supplied approximately 7.5 tons of its Westmorland Green roofing slate for the newly refurbished and extended Southwark Cathedral, which was officially opened in April 2001 by Nelson Mandela.

Burlington¿s natural roofing slate can be found on the new refectory and library building, giving the cathedral an additional purpose as a meeting place in addition to a house of worship. The project, part funded by the Millennium Commission, includes a number of new aspects such as the theological library, a public restaurant, shop and permanently sited exhibition and conference rooms.
