  • Medieval Heritage and Pilgrimage Walks
    Medieval Heritage and Pilgrimage Walks Cleveland Way Trail: walk the 3 miles from Rievaulx Abbey, Yorkshire to Helmsley Castle and tread in the footsteps of medieval Pilgrims along what’s now part of the Cleveland Way Trail. Camino de Santiago/Way of St James, Spain: along with trips to the Holy Land and Rome, this is the most famous medieval pilgrimage trail of all, and the most well-travelled in medieval times, at least until the advent of Black Death. Its destination point is the spot St James is said to have been buried, in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Today Santiago is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites. Read more . the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela holds a Pilgrims’ Mass every day at noon. Walk as much or as little of it as you like. Follow the famous scallop shell symbols. A popular starting point, both today and in the Middle Ages, is either Le Puy in the Massif Central, France OR the famous medieval Abbey at Cluny, near Paris. The Spanish start is from the Pyrenees, on to Roncevalles or Jaca. These routes also take in the Via Regia and/or the Camino Frances. The Portuguese way is also popular: from the Cathedrals in either Lisbon or Porto and then crossing into Falicia/Valenca. At the end of the walk you receive a stamped certifi cate, the Compostela. To achieve this you must have walked at least 100km or cycled for 200. To walk the entire route may take months. Read more . The route has inspired many TV and fi lm productions, such as Simon Reeve’s BBC2 ‘Pilgrimage’ series (2013) and The Way (2010), written and directed by Emilio Estevez, about a father completing the pilgrimage in memory of his son who died along the Way of St James.

  • Gothic Beyond Architecture: Manchester’S Collegiate Church
    Gothic beyond Architecture: Manchester’s Collegiate Church My previous posts for Visit Manchester have concentrated exclusively upon buildings. In the medieval period—the time when the Gothic style developed in buildings such as the basilica of Saint-Denis on the outskirts of Paris, Île-de-France (Figs 1–2), under the direction of Abbot Suger (1081–1151)—the style was known as either simply ‘new’, or opus francigenum (literally translates as ‘French work’). The style became known as Gothic in the sixteenth century because certain high-profile figures in the Italian Renaissance railed against the architecture and connected what they perceived to be its crude forms with the Goths that sacked Rome and ‘destroyed’ Classical architecture. During the nineteenth century, critics applied Gothic to more than architecture; they located all types of art under the Gothic label. This broad application of the term wasn’t especially helpful and it is no-longer used. Gothic design, nevertheless, was applied to more than architecture in the medieval period. Applied arts, such as furniture and metalwork, were influenced by, and followed and incorporated the decorative and ornament aspects of Gothic architecture. This post assesses the range of influences that Gothic had upon furniture, in particular by exploring Manchester Cathedral’s woodwork, some of which are the most important examples of surviving medieval woodwork in the North of England. Manchester Cathedral, formerly the Collegiate Church of the City (Fig.3), see here, was ascribed Cathedral status in 1847, and it is grade I listed (Historic England listing number 1218041, see here). It is medieval in foundation, with parts dating to between c.1422 and 1520, however it was restored and rebuilt numerous times in the nineteenth century, and it was notably hit by a shell during WWII; the shell failed to explode.

  • Pick of the Churches
    Pick of the Churches The East of England is famous for its superb collection of churches. They are one of the nation's great treasures. Introduction There are hundreds of churches in the region. Every village has one, some villages have two, and sometimes a lonely church in a field is the only indication that a village existed there at all. Many of these churches have foundations going right back to the dawn of Christianity, during the four centuries of Roman occupation from AD43. Each would claim to be the best - and indeed, all have one or many splendid and redeeming features, from ornate gilt encrusted screens to an ancient font. The history of England is accurately reflected in our churches - if only as a tantalising glimpse of the really creative years between the 1100's to the 1400's. From these years, come the four great features which are particularly associated with the region. - Round Towers - unique and distinctive, they evolved in the 11th C. due to the lack and supply of large local building stone. - Hammerbeam Roofs - wide, brave and ornate, and sometimes strewn with angels. Just lay on the floor and look up! - Flint Flushwork - beautiful patterns made by splitting flints to expose a hard, shiny surface, and then setting them in the wall. Often it is used to decorate towers, porches and parapets. - Seven Sacrament Fonts - ancient and splendid, with each panel illustrating in turn Baptism, Confirmation, Mass, Penance, Extreme Unction, Ordination and Matrimony. Bedfordshire Ampthill - tomb of Richard Nicholls (first governor of Long Island USA), including cannonball which killed him.

  • The Building of Cardinal College, Oxford by J
    The Building of Cardinal College, Oxford By J. G. MILNE and JOHN H. HARVEY 1. DEAN HIGDON'S DAYBOOK N 1928 President Allen drew attention to a chest half full of crumpled I papers which formerly stood in the Old Bursary at Corpus. It was emptied, and the contents proved to be a miscellaneous collection of documents mainly dating from the 16th and early 17th centuries, none later than 1642. They were generally of the class that might have been lying about in a bursary at that time-accounts, memoranda and letters-and the explanation that most readily suggested itself was that they had been used as packing when some objects were stowed away in the chest and left there when those objects were removed. If this explanation is accepted, those objects were probably the more valuable items of the college plate, the whole of which was surrendered to Charles I in that year, like that of all the other colleges in Oxford; but some articles were redeemed by a cash payment and then disappeared from sight until conditions became more secure.1 Amongst these documents there were some few whose presence in the college seemed accidental in the sense that they had no obvious connection with any college business; and one of these has proved on investigation to be of considerable interest.

  • How the Middle Ages Were Built: Exuberance to Crisis, 1300-1408 Transcript
    How the Middle Ages were Built: Exuberance to Crisis, 1300-1408 Transcript Date: Wednesday, 23 March 2011 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London Gresham Lecture, Wednesday 23 March 2011 How the Middle Ages were built: Exuberance to Crisis, 1300-1408 Professor Simon Thurley The title of my lectures this year is God, Caesar and Robin Hood. We saw in my first lecture that to understand Saxon and Norman building we needed to understand the contemporary obsession with Rome (that’s the Caesar!). Then in my second lecture I talked about God and the invention of gothic, an architectural style designed to bring man into proximity with an earthly representation of heaven. In my second two lectures, tonight and on April 13th, I want to move on to Robin Hood, perhaps a more surprising emblem for English building endeavour, but one which, when I have finished, I hope you will agree, captures the extraordinary richness of English building in the period 1300 to 1520. But tonight I will deal with the first half - the extraordinary century that started in 1300. Thirteenth century England was rich and populous but by 1300 it had peaked. The century that followed brought a lot of bad news. Underlying many of the problems was a very modern concern – climate change. Between 1290 and 1375 the British climate became instable and unpredictable, there were a series of wet summers which prevented crops from ripening, rotted seed in the ground and nurtured pests and disease. There was costal flooding inundating thousands of acres, while torrential rain made thousands more unusable.

  • What Julian Saw: the Embodied Showings and the Items for Private Devotion
    religions Article What Julian Saw: The Embodied Showings and the Items for Private Devotion Juliana Dresvina History Faculty, University of Oxford, 41-47 George St, Oxford OX1 2BE, UK; [email protected] Received: 28 February 2019; Accepted: 29 March 2019; Published: 2 April 2019 Abstract: The article traces potential visual sources of Julian of Norwich’s (1343–after 1416) Revelations or Showings, suggesting that many of them come from familiar everyday devotional objects such as Psalters, Books of Hours, or rosary beads. It attempts to approach Julian’s text from the perspective of neuromedievalism, combining more familiar textual analysis with some recent findings in clinical psychology and neuroscience. By doing so, the essay emphasizes the embodied nature of Julian’s visions and devotions as opposed to the more apophatic approach expected from a mystic. Keywords: revelations; mysticism; ekphrasis; neuromedievalism; neuroarthistory; psychohistory; Julian of Norwich; visions; sleep paralysis; psalters; books of hours; rosary beads 1. Introduction This paper has a very simple thesis to illustrate: that a lot, if not most of theology, found in the writings of Julian of Norwich (1343–after 1416)—a celebrated mystic and the first English female author known by name—comes from familiar, close-to-home objects and images. Images are such an integral aspect of our existence that the famous neuroscientist Rodolfo Llinás, and many after him, claimed that our brain is about making images (Llinás and Paré 1991; Damasio 2010, pp. 63–88). However, such complicated private visual experiences as dream-visions or mystical revelations are insufficient to synthesise knowledge per se, particularly if understood as aimed at a broader community.

  • Tang WK & Kam Helen
    Study Tour Report for the Medieval Germany, Belgium, France and England (Cathedral, Castle and Abbey --- a day visit in York) TANG Wai Keung / Helen KAM 1 Study Tour Report for the Medieval Germany, Belgium, France and England (Cathedral, Castle and Abbey --- a day visit in York) During this 8-day tour in England, we were requested to present a brief on York around its history, famous persons, attractive buildings and remarkable events etc. With the float of the same contents kept in minds even after the tour, we are prepared to write a study tour report based on this one-day visit with emphasis around its medieval period. York has a long turbulent period of history and, as King Edward VI said, “The history of York is the history of England”. This report will start with a brief history of York, which inevitably be related to persons, events and places we came across during this medieval tour. The report will also describe three attractions in York, viz., York Minster and its stained glass, Helmsley Castle and Rievaulx Abbey. 1 York's history The most important building in York is the York Minster, where in front of the main entrance, we found a statue of Constantine (photo 1). It reflects the height of Roman’s powers that conquered the Celtic tribes and founded Eboracum in this city; from here, the history of York started. 1.1 Roman York During our journey in the southern coast of England, Father Ha introduced to us the spots where the Roman first landed in Britain.

  • Organ Scholarship 2021-2022
    Organ Scholarship 2021-2022 The Dean and Chapter of St Davids Cathedral wishes to appoint an Organ Scholar for the academic year beginning in September 2021. The scholarship is an outstanding opportunity for a gap-year or post-graduate organist to gain valuable training and experience as a church musician and play a full part in the musical life of a busy cathedral. The period of the appointment is usually for one year with the possibility to extend for a further year if appropriate. Please note: all the details shown here are subject to change depending on developing government guidance, rules and laws surrounding COVID-19. The Organ Scholarship was set up in 2016. Previous holders of the position have gone on to hold organist-posts at Tewkesbury Abbey; Ely Cathedral; Magdalen College, Oxford and St George’s Chapel, Windsor. The current post-holder, Michael D’Avanzo, has been appointed Organ Scholar of Southwell Minster. The scholarship is generously supported by the Friends of Cathedral Music (FCM), and by an anonymous donor who wishes to support and encourage the performance of Tudor church music at the cathedral. The successful candidate will have an interest in, and be willing to spend an appropriate portion of their time studying, performing and promoting Tudor music. St Davids St Davids is situated in the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, West Wales.
