The verger team is at the heart of Cathedral life – making sure the main Cathedral building is presented in the best way at all times and that the Chapter House and other buildings are prepared for use to a high standard. The broad range of services and events held at Chelmsford Cathedral require accurate planning, teamwork and communication.
Stamina and energy are therefore essential, sometimes at unsociable hours; this is very much a ‘hands on’ role. Vergers participate fully in the worshipping life of the Cathedral, they take responsibility for the day-to-day preparation of the Cathedral’s regular and special services, as well as playing an important part within them.
This role is essential to the smooth running of the many different activities held at Chelmsford Cathedral. A Verger’s presence, demeanour and presentation style reflects the welcome and hospitality the Cathedral chapter wish to offer to everyone who visits, whether they come for worship, for an event, or to view the building.
