The seating capacity is in the order of 750. I am guessing that we will not get to that, and so the seating plan will be rows of chairs, approx eight wide, one rank on the left, one rank on the right, for however many rows we need - just like a typical Cathedral layout (all facing the front). IF we need to fill out sideways, we have blocks of seating to the right and left of the alter (Stage).
Despite being brought up in the Medway towns I only ever visited Rochester cathedral twice once for a wedding and once for a funeral my brother conducted. Both times I was overawed by the occasion rather than the surroundings
Some of my family have connections with the cathedral now and in the past.
