The Women's Choir

The St John’s Cathedral Women’s Choir was formed by the then Director of Music, Dr Robert Boughen following a call from the pulpit for members to join a Women’s Choir, under his direction. It had been in existence for over 10 years in its present form, and consisted of women who sing occasional services in the cathedral and nearby parishes.
This choir was disbanded, August 2006.
