Stephen McGann said of his honorary Doctor of Letters As a child of Liverpool I am particularly proud and delighted to be awarded an Honorary Degree from the University of Chester. When I was a boy Chester was a place I escaped to full of the history that I loved. The Roman museum the beautiful and ancient cathedral somewhere where a bookish working-class child could dream and imagine places beyond himself. Thats here all good education begins; in travelling to new places that can challenge and spark passion. Chester was all of that, and it’s nice to come back and say thank you for what it has given to me.
