Story

A small group of Pilgrims walked about 120 miles from Guildford Cathedral via Rochester to Canterbury, sleeping in churches and walking the Pilgrims' Way. 

We all arrived safely and on time for evensong at Canterbury on Saturday afternoon. It has been a truly memorable journey which challenged and rewarded all who took part. Nineteen people walked into Canterbury some joining us for the last stretch. The youngest pilgrims Gus and Dylan (4 and 6) the oldest 92.   

Thanks for the hospitality of the churches of St Barnabus Ranmore, St Mary the Virgin Godstone, and St Bartholomew Otford, Alison Evans (B&B), the Friars at Aylesford, and Charing Methodist Church. 

Thank you to our friends, families and co-workers for generously sponsoring us - please help us to hit our target!

We are raising funds for Guildford Cathedral. The Cathedral provides a beautiful setting for the arts, music, education, and as a place of prayer and contemplation. Most importantly it is a quiet place of stillness where people of faith or none can find peace and spiritual renewal. 

The only funds the cathedral receives are from charitable contributions and what it raises under its own steam. Whoever you are, please find it in your heart to support this place of peace in a world that needs such places now more than ever.

If you have problems donating on-line please contact Elizabeth or Vaughan.

About the charity

Guildford Cathedral

RCN HMRC Registered
Guildford Cathedral is proud to be the People’s Cathedral. Open 365 days a year, we are a sacred place of welcome, worship, inspiration and engagement for all. Our past defines our present and future. Funded through the sacrificial generosity of 200,000 ordinary people following the Second World War, our ‘brick givers’ made this magnificent and modern cathedral possible. That spirit of giving and commitment continues today, as our congregation, wider Cathedral community, people of Surrey and beyond support us financially and prayerfully. Each and every one of those 200,000 bricks is vital in playing its part in holding up not just this structure, but our mission. The bricks come alive in our ministry of music, art, learning and heritage. Collectively, they have great significance locally, across Surrey and nationally. The Cathedral is far greater than the sum of its parts. In its short history, Guildford Cathedral has become a unique part of the national heritage:
