Dome and Campanile
A striking view taken on the Cathedral roof. The domes were coated in copper after repairs in the 1950s, following minor bomb damage in the war.

A Blog from Westminster Cathedral
Welcome to Westminster Cathedral, London
Westminster Cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic community in England and Wales. This extraordinary house of God was opened in 1903, and its distinctive Byzantine architecture provides the visitor with what Sir John Betjeman called "a series of surprises".

I too am busy putting signs up at the charity that I run. Someone, somewhere is making a lot of money producing the signs!
On a serious note I remember hearing on the radio, a spokesperson from Westminster Abbey querying this issue re signs in churches. I suppose that the counter argument from someone would be if there were no signs then they could smoke.
With the sky (rarely) so blue, the Pantheon springs to mind again- could you not save yourself the expense of repairing the domes and instead pierce them? You would then also get the magical dispersed water droplets when it rains!
