5/5 Sophia B. 2 years ago on Google
We
did
the
volunteer
guided
tour
of
the
cathedral
and
it
was
brilliant.
Our
guide,
David,
who
has
known
this
building
from
childhood,
was
so
knowledgeable
about
the
history
of
the
building
and
answered
all
our
questions.
He
brought
the
history
of
the
cathedral
alive
with
his
descriptions
and
stories,
giving
us
a
real
sense
of
the
social
history
of
Chester
through
art,
architecture,
religion
&
politics.
There
are
three
of
Robert
Thompson's
"mice"
in
the
cathedral.
We
saw
one;
we're
coming
back
for
a
"mouse
hunt"
to
find
the
other
two!
The
refectory
appropriately
houses
the
café,
and
is
in
itself
spectacular
with
the
most
fabulous
modern
stained
glass
window
set
at
one
end,
and
walls
full
of
generations
of
chiselled
graffiti.
Great
selection
of
food
and
beverages,
all
very
reasonably
priced,
with
pleasant
staff.
I
highly
recommend
this
place,
even
if
you're
not
the
slightest
bit
religious
like
me.
You
shouldn't
really
visit
Chester
and
miss
out
on
going
to
the
cathedral.
You'd
do
yourself
an
injustice.
