Did you have to get permission to shot?
I only ask as we were in Durham last weekend and they don't let you shot in the cathedral!
As for C&C, last ones my choice, just for the goofy look on the bird's face. The rest seem a little bright.

PPG entries.

Dynamic range is a bit challenging you might recover a bit of highlight detail if these were shot in RAW. You could (in my opinion should) correct the verticals in Photoshop.
Lovely warm colours. From memory the choir stalls are one of the jewels of the place but it's ages since I've been.
Good shot of the lectern.

Andrew

Nice shots, only wished you had frame them a bit better.
The first two are off centre and the first one is leaning a bit and the same with the last one.
I think it's really worth a revisit and try it again, maybe take a tripod to bracket the shots for HDR and to slow yourself down and think more about the framing.

Hmmm...after living in or around Chester for 15 years now I'm suprised I've not done similar shots myself (note to self!).
I agree with Stefan on the framing aspect. The last shot would work much better with a greater depth of field between the subject and background.
If you are familiar with Photoshop, I'd highlight around the lectern then inverse the selection and apply the lens blur filter - would look much better.
