Le trésorier du chapitre était un important dignitaire qui gérait son patrimoine, veillait sur les reliques et était chargé du maintien de l'ordre dans la cathédrale et ses abords immédiates. Une barrière (les lices) marquait sur le parvis la limite de sa juridiction. Dans cette enceinte se tenaient en particulier les indigent qui n'avaient pas le droit de mendier à l'intérieur de l'église. La Maison du Trésorier, dont certains éléments remontent au XIIe siècle, est désormais occupée par l'Office de Tourisme. Celui-ci peut renseigner sur d'agréables découvertes du vignoble Champenois et de ses trois terroirs: la Montagne de Reims, la Vallée de la Marne et la Côte des Blancs.
