The College Chapel is the Chapel of St Mary-the-less and it used to be a parish church.  Cranmer Hall share it with John's Hall and all services are open and welcoming to anyone who would like to worship with us.

There are services every day and some of these are specifically Methodist services because Methodist ministers train at Wesley Study Centre which is part of Cranmer Hall.

All servcies use Common Worship except the Methodist services and Choral Evensong which is led by St John's College Choir and is based on the Book of Common Prayer

There is only one sevice on Sunday, led by St John's College choir, because the Cranmer ordinands are on placement in local churches on Sundays.

The main service of the week is College Communion on Tuesday evenings where there are a range of preachers invited over the term, including tutors from Cranmer Hall.  During the Communion at this service there is an opportunity to be prayed for in a quiet corner by some of the ordinands.

At this service John's Hall students are invited to read a reading from the Bible or chalice bear at Communion.  It is a great opportunity for students of John's Hall and Cranmer to worship together and to take part in the service together as one college.

There are Chapel Wardens who set up for services before they start and clear away again aftwerwards and generally take care of the Chapel.  There are five Chapel Wardens from Cranmer and there are two spaces for Chapel Wardens from John's Hall.

Laura Baker is the John's Hall Chapel Warden at the moment so if you are interested in becoming the second Chapel Warden then Laura would be delighted to meet you and discuss it a bit more.  It is a very enjoyable role and it gives a great opportunity to get to know the Cranmer ordinands more.

The Chapel Team are very friendly and easy going and it is led by a Chapel Team Co-ordinator from Cranmer.  So if you're interested in becoming a Chapel Warden or would like to take part in College Communion then do please email Laura at: l.m.baker@dur.ac.uk.

You are very welcome to come and join in the services and we look forward to seeing you!
