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.
