THE CLOISTERS

A place of peace and quiet amidst the bustle of our busy cathedral's routine of prayer, praise and the making of tea.


You, perhaps a citizen of this fair city,
or a pilgrim from far away,
looking here for some tranquillity;
in these sacred cloisters where the faithful have trod,
you may become silent at the source of all beauty and life.
No-one is a stranger in this Cathedral of Wenchoster
where the Triune God is waiting only for you.

THE CHAPTER AMBLULATORY - INNER CLOISTER

Quietly meditate in these incense-laden ancient walkways where holy feet have worn the stone on their way to Compline, 
before using the doorways to either the Mandylion Chapel or the Refectory.
