Association of English Cathedrals

'Formed in 1990 as an unincorporated association to represent the interests of English Anglican Cathedrals in negotiations with English Heritage about a Cathedrals Grant Scheme ... AEC was registered as a company limited by guarantee and a charity in 2009. The members of the company are the 42 Anglican cathedrals; St George’s Chapel, Windsor, Westminster Abbey, Cathedral Isle of Man and St Davids Cathedral are associate members ... Cathedrals are often the largest buildings available for public use for some distance and act as venues for concerts, lectures, degree ceremonies and other such events.'
