Cathedral Chapels
The Chapel of St.Michael & St.George
(Soldiers' Chapel)
Occupies most of the north transcept. Built in 1922, the Soldiers’ Chapel is like “a church within a church”. It seats about fifty and features the names of the fallen from around the Diocese from the Great War.
Bishop Thomas Chapel
(Mesac Chapel)
Tucked away behind the Chancel is the chapel dedicated to the cathedral’s founder, Bishop Mesac Thomas. He is buried just outside the east window of the chapel. This chapel is a place of peace and contemplation.
The Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary
(Lady Chapel)
It is an ancient tradition in English churches to have a chapel dedicated to Our Lord’s mother, known as “Our Lady”, hence the name of Lady Chapel.
In this chapel we remember and give thanks for her calling to bear and nurture the Son of God. We remember too, our own mothers. The large weaving which hangs at the east end of the chapel features the Madonna and Child. It was crafted in the year 2000 on a hand loom at Crookwell by Alan Craven from local materials. The weaving is a gift from the “Friends of St Saviour’s Cathedral”.
This chapel is also used as a gathering and play area for small children during Cathedral services. As well as being used for our mid week services.
