While the word cloister implies seclusion, those early Augustinian Canons were in fact outward-looking and in regular contact with the community they served.
Nevertheless prayer was central to the life of the Priory and remains at the heart of the Cathedral's life today.
"When you pray, the words spoken by your lips should be alive in your hearts."
- Rule of St Augustine
