The cathedral is noted for its exceptional medieval choir stalls with elaborately carved misericords, and its magnificent Victorian restoration by George Gilbert Scott. It serves as the mother church of the Diocese of Chester.

What is worship in this tradition usually like?
Anglican (Church of England) worship follows the rhythm of the Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship. Sunday services often range from a said early-morning Holy Communion to a main mid-morning Sung Eucharist or Morning Prayer, and many parishes hold Choral Evensong later in the day.
