Tours
Educational, school, and group visits are possible at the Cathedral including the Tower by contacting the Cathedral Office. Inside there is much to enjoy, including:
THE HAVARD CHAPEL AND ROURKES DRIFT COLOURS
Inside the Cathedral is the The Havard Chapel which became a War Memorial to the South Wales Borderers (the 24th Regiment of Foot) and the Monmouthshire Regiment in 1923. There is a Roll of Honour commemorating all those who died in the two World Wars and other members of the two Regiments have personal memorial plaques on the backs of the pews. The Colours of antecedent Regiments have been laid up over the years and hang from the Chapel walls and of particular interest are the Colours of 1st Battalion the 24th Regiment of Foot which served with such distinction during the Zulu War of 1879. Given their unique nature, these Colours have been preserved for posterity in purpose built perspex cases.
