The Keene Lectures are held in the Cathedral at 8.00pm. There is no charge for entry, but a retiring collection will be taken to defray expenses and replenish the Keene Fund for the future.

Transcripts and audio cassettes of the talks will be available at a later date. Some lectures are also available electronically from this site - see Keene Transcripts above.

John Henry Keene was a notable citizen of Chelmsford, who did much through his generosity to enrich the town, including the establishment of the Keene Lecture Trust Fund. This enables us to bring speakers of distinction to Chelmsford Cathedral to deliver open lectures on matters of contemporary theological interest.
