The Cathedral Church of St John the Evangelist (also known as St John's Cathedral) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Portsmouth, England.

The succentor ("under-singer") is the assistant to the precentor, typically in an ancient cathedral foundation, helping with the preparation and conduct of the liturgy including psalms, preces and responses.
 In English cathedrals today, the priest responsible for liturgy and music is usually the precentor, but some cathedrals, such as St Paul's and Durham, retain a succentor as well.
 Lichfield used the title "subchanter".
 Westminster Abbey also retains the tradition; Brecon Cathedral has only a succentor, and no precentor.
 The succentor is normally a minor canon.
