THE COMPANY OF ST KYNEBOURGA

Created in 2013, the Company of St Kynebourga is a group of people who have served the Diocese of Gloucester with distinction in a way that many wish to honour. Members of the Company are nominated by Area Deans, Diocesan Officers and many other people. People are admitted to the Company by the Bishop and receive their badge of membership at a service in the Cathedral. The annual service of the Company will normally be near to St Kynebourga’s Day on the 25 June. This year’s service took place on Tuesday, 16 June.
