  • 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.

  • Winchester Cathedral Close
    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS ' 9 WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL CLOSE. By T. D. ATKINSON. Present Lay-out. HE Cathedral precincts of to-day are conterminous with those of the Middle Ages-containing the Priory of Saint Swithun, T and are still surrounded by the great wall of the monastery. ' But while the church itself has been lucky in escaping most of the misfortunes which have overtaken so many cathedral and other churches, the monastic, buildings have been among the most unfortunate. The greater number have been entirely destroyed. The present lay-out of the Close not only tells us nothing of the monastic plan, but so far as possible misleads us. The only building which informs us of anything that we could not have guessed for ourselves is the Deanery. That does tell us at least where the Prior v lived. For the rest, the site of the very dorter, as the monks called their dormitory, is uncertain, while we are still more ignorant of the position of the infirmary, a great building probably measuring 200. feet by 50 feet.1 There is little left either of material remains, or of documentary evidence to give us a hint on these things, for the documents have perished and the general topography has been turned upside down and its character entirely transformed. Upside down because the main entrance to the precincts is now on the South, whereas it was formerly to the North, and transformed because the straight walks . of the cloister and the square courts and gardens harmonizing with the architecture have given place to elegant serpentine carriage sweeps which branch into one another with easy curves, like a well-planned railway junction.

  • A Boss from the Winchester Cathedral Choir-Stalls at the Victoria and Albert Museum

  • 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.

  • St Swithun Was Bishop of Winchester
    The Story of St Swithun A long time ago, in the 800’s and before the present Cathedral was built; St Swithun was Bishop of Winchester. There used to be a beautiful but small cathedral built by the Anglo- Saxons on this site, with blue glass in the windows, green tiles on the floor and carvings and paintings on the walls. This was Bishop Swithun’s Cathedral. Bishop Swithun was a kind man and walked all over Hampshire making sure his people were safe and had all they needed. One day he was walking over the bridge and talking to people as he went when he came across a woman stood to one side and she was crying. Bishop Swithun stopped and asked the woman why she was so upset. Between sobs the woman explained that she’d been carrying a big basket of eggs to market to sell, but there were so many people on the bridge, someone had accidently knocked against her and she’d dropped the basket, breaking all the eggs. Kind Bishop Swithun had a think and then took the woman’s hand in his and told her not to worry. Suddenly, the eggs were whole again! It was a miracle! Bishop Swithun knew he was getting old and that he wouldn’t live for ever. It would soon be time for him to go to heaven. He told those in charge of the old Cathedral that he didn’t want to be buried inside the Cathedral like the previous bishops and kings. He wanted a simple grave, outside the main doors of the Cathedral so that people could walk over his grave as they went in and out of the beautiful church and remember that they should love one another, just as Bishop Swithun had tried to do all his life.

  • The Formation of the Friends of Winchester Cathedral (PDF)
    The Formation of the Friends of Winchester Cathedral By Tom Watson Tom is a Trustee of the Friends of Winchester Cathedral and Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Media & Communication at Bournemouth University Introduction In 2021, the Friends of Winchester Cathedral celeBrates the 90th anniversary of its formation in 1931. This article sets out the early history of the Friends and the church and social contexts of its formation. Rather than Being an isolated event, the estaBlishment of the Friends was part of a major change that took place in the Church of England from the mid-1920s onwards and opened up cathedrals to Become the much-loved puBlic places of worship and tourism that we know today. I. Launch It was a wet St Swithun’s Day on 15th July 1931 and instead of meeting on the Deanery lawn for afternoon tea following the annual Festival service, the congregation gathered in Winchester Guildhall. With a rousing proposal speech By the Vice-Lieutenant of Hampshire, Sir William Portal (right), supported By the Mayor of Winchester, William Lansdell, the Headmaster of Winchester College, Canon Alwyn Williams, and Professor Reginald Gleadowe (also Winchester College), the meeting ‘welcomed the formation of an association of the Friends of Winchester Cathedral and assures the Dean and Chapter of its loyal support on any steps they may take with that end’.1 The meeting supported Sir William’s resolution which was ‘carried unanimously’.2 Dean Gordon Selwyn, who had arranged the meeting and Became the Friends’ inaugural Chairman, ‘pointed out that this would Be an association of the laity.

  • The Great East Window: Analysis and Hypothesis by Julie Adams Introduction
    The Great East Window: Analysis and Hypothesis by Julie Adams Introduction Standing at the west end looking down the nave, the eye is normally led to the Great East Window, (Fig 1) which rises prominently above the high altar, and can be seen beyond the quire screen. In this article I shall be considering the content of the window before and after the restoration that was carried out by Edward Baillie in 1852. Much of the window content is clearly not original, but some is, and I will offer a hypothesis on what might have been there when it was first installed by Bishop Fox in c.1520. Fig 1 The Great East Window Photo: Roger Buchanan Content of the Window before and after the Restoration of 1852 The window is in three tiers, with seven lights (or glazed panels) in the bottom row, and three main lights in each of the middle and top rows. The lower two tiers are single figures set below architectural canopies in a similar style to the glazing of the nave and the clerestory. The top tier makes up a single composition of Christ flanked by The Blessed Virgin Mary and St John the Baptist. The style of the stonework is late perpendicular, similar to that of the Lady Chapel windows. John Dolbel Le Couteur published his treatise “Ancient Stained Glass in Winchester” [1] in 1920, a comprehensive survey which has never been superseded. In it he identifies most of the contents of the window shown here in the schematic diagram (Fig 2). 1 Key:- v = Angel with shield w = Angel with trumpet x = hyssop y = Scroll with Fox’s motto z = scourge 3(a) Blessed Virgin Mary 3(b) Christ in Majesty 3(c) St John the Baptist 2(a) A Prophet 2(b) Sainted ecclesiastic 2(c) Amos 1(a) = St Swithun 1(b) “St Peter” 1(c) Jeremiah 1(d) St Andrew 1(e) Haggai 1(f) St Paul 1(g) Sainted Bishop Fig 2 Outline redrawn by the author, based on a scale drawing by Owen Carter in 1844 Originally, the window was inserted in the 1520s, when Richard Fox was Bishop and his tenure is still proudly announced in the window by two scrolls bearing his motto “Est Deo Gracia” - Thanks be to God, or Thanks are due to God.

  • St Catherine of Alexandria – the Legendary Saint
    St Catherine of Alexandria – the legendary saint By Tom Watson Tom is a Trustee of the Friends of Winchester Cathedral and Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Media & Communication at Bournemouth University Within Winchester Cathedral, there are at least three representations of St Catherine of Alexandria. There is an image in the Holy Sepulchre Chapel, a stained glass panel in the Joys of Mary series in the North Presbytery Aisle and a minor statue in the Great Screen. Outside and about a mile away, to the south east, is St Catherine’s Hill where the settlement of Winchester may have started in the Iron Age. In this article, the story of this very popular saint of the Middle Ages will be explored along with the varied indicators of her popularity. In England, there are 70 churches with dedications to St Catherine ranging from Ventnor on the Isle Wight in the central south to New Brancepeth, near Durham, in the north east. The closest dedication to the Cathedral is only three miles distant at St Catherine of Alexandria church, Littleton. As well, 170 medieval bells, which are controlled by a wheel, were dedicated to her. [1] Not only was St Catherine a popular saint in English church dedications, but the names Catherine, Katherine, Caterina and Catalina were also popular names of other saints. At last count, including a Korean woman, Saint Catherine Chong Ch’oryom (d.1846), sanctified in 1984 by Pope John Paul II, there are 11 saints with these names and another three with Blessed or beatified status. That’s 14 in all.
