RUNNING THE CATHEDRAL
 
Everyone thinks of Cathedrals as quiet cloistered places. In fact Wells Cathedral is a very complex and busy organisation. Everything that happens in the Cathedral and its precincts is planned into a computerised diary system. However the core of the Cathedral's day is its regular daily worship and all other activities and events are secondary to this.

The Cathedral is governed under its Constitution and Statutes (revised April 2000) by the Chapter. Two other bodies, the Council and the College of Canons, together with the Chapter form the corporate body known as the Cathedral Church of St Andrew in Wells.

In practice the Cathedral is divided up into a number of departments - music, virgers, maintenance, accounts, administration, visitor management, library and archives - and two companies - restaurant and shop.
