  • Shrewsbury: the Great West Window

    Shrewsbury: the Great West Window

    SHREWSBURY: THE GREAT WEST WINDOW Margaret Rope’s first major commission, which she designed and painted at The Priory, her home in Shrewsbury (reputedly on the kitchen table!), was the Cathedral’s Great West Window. It commemorates Bishop Samuel Webster Allen, 4th Bishop of Shrewsbury, who died in 1908 aged 64, and was unveiled at High Mass on Sunday 27th February 1910 by his successor Bishop Hugh Singleton. According to the detailed account of the occasion in the Catholic journal The Tablet the Bishop ‘drew the cords of the veil and revealed the window through which the sunlight was streaming’1. Margaret was very self-effacing: according to her brother Father Henry Rope at the unveiling she ‘contrived to find a place hidden from view behind the organ’2. First a note about the window’s name. Because of the restricted size and shape of its site the Cathedral was built on a north-south axis instead of having the usual east-west orientation. For liturgical purposes, however, we regard the main altar as being at the east end of the building and this convention was adopted in naming this window, which is at the opposite end to the altar. Geographically speaking it should be the Great South Window! The unusual orientation has the advantage of allowing it to be appreciated in all its glory for much more of the day than it could be if it was really facing west and only catching the evening sun. The six main lights are a picture gallery of British martyrs from the Romans to the Reformation.

    HENRY VIII TRAIL the Story of Henry’S Visit with His Allegedly Adulterous Queen, Catherine Howard in 1541

    HENRY VIII TRAIL The story of Henry’s visit with his allegedly adulterous Queen, Catherine Howard in 1541. The King sat nearly 2 weeks, ulcerous, syphilitic and constipated, fuming and waiting for his nephew James V of Scotland to attend a peace conference that never happened. Lavish preparations were made for the King’s reception by a City Council so terrified of the King after the Pilgrimage of Grace that they grovelled in the mud to meet him. Henry also closed down all the Monasteries and hospitals in York, even the public lavatories, because of alleged hanky-panky by the monks and nuns. St Leonards Hospital This was founded by King Athelstan in 935 AD as the Hospital of St Peter’s and may go back even further. It was refounded as the Hospital of St Leonard by King Stephen after the great fire of York in 1137. At its height the Hospital stretched almost the Minster-the Theatre Royal is built on its Undercrofts and the Red House incorporates part of its gatehouse. The Time Team Excavation of 1999 and At its height it had over 200 people in its care ranging from the poor to those who chose to retire there to live out their days. It had 13 Augustinian Canons, 8 Nuns plus Lay Brothers and servants making perhaps 300 people in all. It was surrendered to the Crown in 1539 and all had to leave. It was the last of the great religious house in York to close on 1st Dec 1540. The last Master, Thomas Magnus, got a manor at Beningbrough Grange.

    The Left Panel Files/John Houghton.Pdf

    Saint John Houghton Born 1487: Essex. Graduate of Cambridge; Degrees in Canon and Civil Law John Houghton was ordained in 1501 and served as a parish priest for four years. A Carthusian monk, he joined the London Charterhouse in 1515 and made his final vows in 1516. He was elected Prior of the Beauvale (Carthusian Charterhouse) at Eastwood in Nottinghamshire in 1531, becoming Prior of the London Charterhouse later in the same year. In 1534 he was the first person to oppose King Henry VIII's Act of Supremacy and was imprisoned with Humphrey Middlemore. When the Oath of Supremacy was modified to include the phrase ‘in so far as the law of God permits’, John felt he could be loyal to Church and Crown; he and several of his monks signed the oath, despite misgivings. Father John was released. A few days later, troops arrived at the Chapter house to force the remaining monks to sign the oath. On 1 February 1535, Parliament required that the original, unmodified oath be signed by all. Following three days of prayer, Father John, with Robert Lawrence* and Augustine Webster*, contacted Thomas Cromwell to seek an exemption for themselves and their monks. The group was immediately arrested and were committed to the Tower of London. He did not defend himself in court, but refused to cooperate or sign the Oath. The jury could find no malice to the King, but when threatened by Cromwell with prosecution themselves, they found John and his co-defendants guilty of treason. John Houghton was hanged, drawn and quartered on 4th May 1535 at Tyburn, London.

    Saints John Houghton, Robert Lawrence, Augustine Webster, Richard Reynolds

    Saints John Houghton, Robert Lawrence, Augustine Webster, Richard Reynolds SAINT OF THE DAY 04-05-2020 The saints remembered today were the first to suffer martyrdom for refusing to take the oath to the Act of Supremacy of 1534, which declared King Henry VIII supreme head of the Church of England. These were the Carthusian Protomartyrs John Houghton, Robert Lawrence and Augustine Webster and the Brigidine monk Richard Reynolds, all martyred on 4 May 1535. The four are part of the group of the “Forty Holy Martyrs of England and Wales”, religious and lay people, men and women of different social backgrounds but united by the Catholic faith, who offered their lives as witness to Christ at different dates and times (between 1535 and 1679). Paul VI canonized them all together on October 25, 1970. The 40 are only a part of the hundreds of recognized martyrs, including saints and blesseds, who were also victims of the anti-Catholic persecutions that followed the Anglican Schism. After his illegitimate second marriage to Anne Boleyn and the new Act of Succession, Henry VIII tried to obtain the consent of his subjects, starting with those who had the greatest influence on the people. One of his first objectives was the Charterhouse of London, known for the austerity of the monks' lives, where John Houghton was prior. He asked that his community be released from the obligation to swear the oath to the new law, which demanded the annulment of Henry's marriage (never dissolved by the Pope) to Catherine of Aragon. The exoneration was not granted and therefore Houghton was imprisoned in the Tower of London together with his brother Humphrey Middlemore (he too would be martyred).

The hidden life continues even after death, in the cemeteries of our Charter- houses. However, some have been recognized as Saints or Blesseds by the Church. Usually this took place by a so-called ‘equipollent’ or ‘equivalent canonization’: “An authorization of public veneration pronounced by the Pope in consequence of the existence of certain special conditions” (D.
