1) Residential Canons are part of the cathedral chapter. They are based at a cathedral and assist the Dean in its running. Honorary Canons form part of a wider organisation known as the ‘college of canons’. They are usually senior priests in the diocese who are based mostly in parishes. Recently they have been supplemented by ecumenical canons from other denominations and by lay canons who are not ordained but have an interest in cathedral affairs.
