You're invited to gather for an hour of contemplation around the seven last words of Jesus, captured in poetry written by Kenneth Wilson. Kenneth will read his own poems, and interweave them with live performances of movements from J.S. Bach's famous and moving suites for solo cello. Be prepared to be challenged and captivated.

Kenneth and our Change Rector, David, met at university, and have remained firm friends ever since. After a fascinating and varied career as an Anglican priest, a tour guide to India and a property developer, Kenneth now lives in a tree house in Cumbria, and spends more time playing the cello and writing poetry.

He recently cycled from Cumbria to Rome with his cello on the back of his bike, playing concerts at each stop on the way, and he hopes to take the Seven Last Words to every English Cathedral in Lent 2025 - by bicycle. You have the chance to hear him first. On this occasion, admission is free, but we strongly encourage generous donations to support Kenneth's work.
