Another English cathedral faces choir crisis

Another English cathedral faces choir crisis

The Dean of Peterborough, the Very Revd Chris Dalliston, warned today that he heeds to raise needs £300,000 by March in order to keep the Cathedral open seven days a week.

We hear that cuts have already been mooted to the Cathedral’s music, whose origins as as old as the church itself, going back nine centuries.

The Dean says: ‘Despite a record-breaking year of events, including the hugely popular Monsters of the Sea exhibition, these efforts cannot keep pace with escalating bills. The annual running costs now exceed £2 million, making community support essential to your Cathedral’s survival.’

The appeal is titled Cathedral in Crisis.
