The Dean's Welcome

Welcome to Chelmsford Cathedral.

Chelmsford Cathedral is no vast, vaulted hall. Its qualities are more jewel like: small, light, colourful, precious and cherished. When you walk in the building it seems to welcome you. It lifts the spirit and its silence sings.

Although we receive many visitors, we are not tourist led. When you walk in you usually find people at prayer. The candlestand never goes out. Although we are a busy Cathedral, being a popular venue for concerts, lectures, civic events and school prize givings, the heart of the Cathedral is the daily rhythm of worship with beautifully sung choral services.
