Our Cathedral

Last Updated on Tuesday, 13 April 2010 14:38

The Collegiate Church of All Saints' Derby, with its 16th century tower that dominates the city skyline, was founded in the tenth century. It has been through several rebuilds, notably the replacement of all but the tower of the medieval church with a classical building by James Gibbs in the eighteenth century. It has been Derby's Cathedral since 1927.

The Cathedral's key role is to be the Bishop's church and a centre of worship and mission.

This is expressed in its mission statement:

• Derby Cathedral - celebrating the Christian life
  with diocese, city and county, through worship and mission
• The Cathedral is open from 8.30 am to 6.00 pm daily and there are services every morning and evening, with Evensong sung on most days at 5.15 pm.
• The governing body of the Cathedral is the Chapter, consisting of the Dean, four canons and four lay members.
