Durham Cathedral Shop has had a somewhat turbulent history in recent years, outlined briefly below. Following the Brewer brothers' early relinquishment of their lease, however, the shop reopened on 1st March 2010 under the Cathedral's own management.
The shop's location and operations are currently under review as part of the Cathedral's ongoing World Heritage Site development strategy. More information will be posted here as and when it emerges...
Despite the claimed bankruptcy, the family (headed up by J Mark and Philip W Brewer) continued to trade under a variety of spurious identities until 2009 when the Charity Commission seized control of the parent organisation, the St Stephen the Great Charitable Trust and began to close down its operations.
Durham appears to have been the only shop in the group over which the Charity Commission declined to take an interest.
