@RochesterCathed And what Mysteries lurk behind it?!

Did you know this door is believed to be the 2nd oldest door in England and is more than 900 years old. It's known as the Gundulf Door and is hidden behind the scenes at Rochester Cathedral.

That was a bit of a downpour here in Chester!! #Chester #cathedral

Nice to see this unusual visitor in thr garth pond last week. We wouldn't normally allow visitors in the pond, but here's a Grey Wagtail, spotted by a Verger whilst they were locking up last week! #Chester #cathedral

Its been a quiet month on here, which means its been a busy month out there! Thanks to Gareth for this photo looking East from the Steps. If you like the look of the Cathedral & want to spend some time here; have you considered volunteering with us? #chester #cathedral #verger

A few spots of colour from the stained glass window in the South Quire aisle last week... Lasted only a few moments between the sun and the rain. #chester #cathedral

@ChesterArchSoc The photo was looking across from Hoole; the buildings in front are the flats along Egerton Street:)

@AVergersView What is the modern building in the foreground, with only the roof showing? Can't place it!

Anyone else awake at 5.37am on Saturday morning to catch the waning gibbous Buck Moon setting over the Cathedral? No? Not to worry, luckily our Verger Gareth was there to capture the moment! #Chester #cathedral #moon #verger

Shout out to the Addleshaw Bell Tower, opened 50 years ago to the day! Huge thanks to all those who have rung in its chamber over the past 50 years, and in the years to come! #chester #cathedral #bells #Addleshaw

When the font water fills to the brim at the exact right moment! #Chester #cathedral

One of the best gifts from our friends in the Refectory! An essential aspect of the Vestry team:) #Chester #cathedral #verger
