You can’t build fireproof with lumber... which is what the roof was for 850 years.

The roof and spire were not that old. Just under 200.............

And you cannot rebuild it like it was. How do you even determine what it “was” since it was an evolving design over centuries of construction.

Sure. But, whatever it’s made of, make it look like it did.

Putting a silly glass garden on the top completely changes the point of focus.
Now, I’m not a particularly religious person but I do believe the point of a church should be the church - not some refashioned building that’s merely supporting some new public park.
