## About

Chelmsford Cathedral became a cathedral in 1914 when the Diocese of Chelmsford was created to serve Essex and the East End of London. The medieval parish church of St Mary the Virgin was extended and adapted to its new role, and today it serves a diocese of nearly three million people — one of the largest in the Church of England by population. It offers daily Anglican worship and is renowned for its bright modern liturgical art.
