   David Burrows, the administrator of Chester cathedral and a member of the Association's committee, said that around half of English cathedrals have mounting multi-million pound debts. He estimates that the average cathedral costs about £850,000 a year to service and maintain, of which about £300,000 comes from donations and £200,000 from commercial activities, including gift shops and restaurants. About £200,000 comes from property and investments, with the remainder made up of various grants.
   
   Poor stock market returns and falling income from visitors and sales are compounded by the rising cost of keeping cathedrals open. To balance the books, cathedrals have delayed work on essential maintenance and repairs. ‘Most cathedrals have what is called a "maintenance overhang" as a result,' Burrows said. 'It's a real possibility that a number of cathedrals will soon have to be closed for some of the time each week,' Mr Burrows concluded, putting an end to the long-standing tradition that cathedral doors are always open during daylight hours.
