Canon Stephen Ferns

In addition to many other posts held during his ministry, Stephen was Canon Treasurer of Chichester Cathedral, and a greatly loved figure in the cathedral and the diocese. 

Stephen’s funeral will take place in his home town of Stamford, attended by close family. The Requiem at the Cathedral will provide Stephen's family with an opportunity to join his many friends and colleagues in praying for him and giving thanks for his life.

Clergy are welcome to robe for this service (purple stole: black chimere for bishops). If you would like to robe, please contact richard.paterson@chichestercathedral.org.uk
