King's Scholars - Marrying in the Cathedral
Most of the 'privileges' of King's Scholars as members of the Cathedral Foundation are prescriptive and traditional, rather than statutory and formal. If you are a former King's Scholar and would like to explore the possibility of marriage in the Cathedral, please contact the Development Office who will look into this for you: oks@kings-school.co.uk
