The members of the Chapter along with Cathedral Council are responsible for the life, worship and mission of Wakefield Cathedral. They are trustees under charity law, overseeing the cathedral’s good governance, especially its finances and administration.
The Chapter consists of twelve members, the Dean (the Very Revd Simon Cowling), the Residentiary Canons and nine other members of which at least six must be lay members.
It is the duty of the Chapter to direct and oversee the administration of the affairs of the cathedral, including in particular, to order the worship and promote the mission of the cathedral.
It is also responsible for the cathedral’s financial affairs and must prepare an annual report and audited accounts that must be submitted at an agreed time at the end of the year.
