Edward Maltby was the Bishop of Durham from 1836 to 1856 and the Dean was George Waddington (1840-69). Waddington was a learned man and church historian, who had travelled in Italy and made an adventurous voyage along the Nile to Ethiopia. He was a founding member of the Athenaeum and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. As Dean he was very popular, and in this period Durham was fairly prosperous, second only to Westminster Abbey. The capitular income came from the woods, mines and quarries, as well as from generous gifts, and it was thus possible to spend money on repair works and restorations. The external work of renewing the ashlar were continued after Bonomi, and in 1842, the clerk of works, George Jackson, made substantial repairs on the south wall of the choir. The four large windows were restored as found except that some irregularities were corrected. The Norman Triforium was also restored as found, and some corbels were renewed. All principal walks on the banks were relaid and gravelled. (79)
