The Cathedral Collection is a premium collection of limited edition
christening wear inspired by the beautiful and magnificent
architecture, stained glass and carvings to be found within some of the
country’s finest cathedrals.
These gowns are intended to become treasured family heirlooms and therefore the utmost care and attention to detail has been given at all times. They been made out of the finest quality cotton lawn, organza or silk and have been decorated in the most delicate hand embroidery and other trims.

Due to the intensive hand embroidery detail, each gown takes a minimum
of 50 hours to create. It is therefore requested that at least four
weeks notice is given for every order. In certain circumstances it may
be possible to deliver a gown in a shorter time than this, please
contact us for details. Complimentary personalised bibs and godmother handkerchiefs are also available. |

This gown has been lovingly created to honour the wonderful life of St Hugh, Bishop of Lincoln (1186-1200), and the man responsible for the rebuilding of Lincoln Cathedral after it was ruined by the great earthquake of 1185.
Perhaps with the passing of years St Hugh’s memory has diminished, but in the cathedral, which he helped to build with his own hands, he will be remembered for both his strength as well as his tender love for the weak and helpless of the earth. It seemed therefore natural to take inspiration from him when creating a christening gown for Lincoln.
