Service of Thanksgiving for the life and ministry of Geoffrey Hewlett Thompson

Friday 12 June | 11am | Exeter Cathedral Quire

All are welcome to join us for the service of thanksgiving for the life and ministry of Geoffrey Hewlett Thompson, who passed away in 2025 in Cumbria. Geoffrey Hewlett Thompson was the Bishop of Exeter during 1985-1999. The service will take place on Friday 12 June 2026 at 11am in the Quire of Exeter Cathedral, and will be followed by the interment of his ashes in St Gabriel’s Chapel.

“Exeter Cathedral is architecture as theatre.”

“A lovely way to spend the afternoon for the whole family.”

“Really lovely, and unexpectedly ‘wow.’”

“I am in a wheelchair, but I could see everything (pretty much!)”

“Well worth the sore neck from time spent looking heavenwards!”

“An oasis of calm…”

“A beautiful choir sang the mass and all the people were friendly and welcoming.”
