The Lady Chapel was the first part of the cathedral to be completed and consecrated (it was dedicated on St Peter's Day 1910), and it is noted for its elaborate design, its organ, its famous 15th-century statue by Giovanni Della Robbia and its portrait windows featuring local woman including Kitty Wilkinson, helper of the poor, and Agnes Jones, a nursing pioneer.
The Lady Chapel, where some of the lectures took place, was full and at least 400 celebrated communion at midday.
New carpets, curtains and lighting have also been installed in The Lady Chapel.
