CHICHESTER CATHEDRAL ENTERPRISES TO CLOSE ITS CLOISTERS CAFE [AKA BISHOP BELL TEA ROOMS] AND MAKE REDUNDANCIES

 

 

LETTER SUBMISSION

 

Dear Editor

 

First, the bad news (‘Closure surely not justified / Dismayed by closure proposal’, Observer Letters, June 25): Chichester Cathedral Enterprises has closed its Cloisters Cafe – “aka Bishop Bell Tea Rooms” – and made redundancies.

 

Second, the good news: 4 Canon Lane has been restored back to its original name of George Bell House.

 

But is George Bell House – another ‘jewel in the crown’ of this city – now threatened with closure?

 

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

Richard W. Symonds
