The stone was originally quarried from the Lady Chapel. Enquiries are also being carried out to restore a carving of the Holy Trinity that was bequeathed by Lord Eldon, the statue of Mary and the child Jesus has been restored and a CCTV system has recently been installed. Membership of the Friends of the Lady Chapel is by donation. Members are remembered in an annual Mass and daily prayers and also receive newsletters and invitations to events. Individuals, families and schools are all welcome to join. Visit ladychapel.org.uk/friends for more information. Please consider leaving a legacy to the Friends of the Lady Chapel in your will.

  • Editors' Preface
    Editors’ Preface When the three of us first approached colleagues with view to convening a Festschrift for Nicholas Postgate, the response was overwhelming. Messages poured in enthusing over Nicho- las’ intellectual and human qualities in the warmest terms, and it is no surprise that the final product has needed two volumes to fit everybody in (and that’s after we limited the project to contributors who had worked directly with the jubilar!). It has always been a feature of Nicholas’ scholarship and teaching that, unlike most Meso- potamianists, he is equally comfortable with Archaeology and Philology, and indeed sees the two as indissoluble parts of the same intellectual enterprise. We have therefore arranged the contributions alphabetically, to allow the most unexpected combinations of topics to appear side by side, as is characteristic of Nicholas’ own publication list (see pp. xiiiff.). Nicholas is the most modest and unassuming of scholars, and he probably shudders at the idea of both a Festschrift, and, even more, a preface to it. Yet, not least owing to our indebted- ness to him as Doktorkinder, we cannot resist the urge to pen a few words on him and his career. It is a story with many exciting moments, and we hope Nicholas will indulge us in presenting it before readers to whom it is new. Nicholas first arrived in Cambridge in 1963, to read Classics, having previously attended his father’s preparatory school and Winchester College. In truth, harbingers of his future in- terests were not entirely absent: as a member of the Winchester Archaeological Society, he had invited Oliver Gurney to address the school on The Hittites (disappointingly receiving instead a lecture on the decipherment of cuneiform).

  • Turnham, Margaret H. (2012) Roman Catholic Revivalism
    Roman Catholic Revivalism: A study of the area that became the Diocese of Middlesbrough 1779-1992 Margaret H. Turnham, B.Ed., M.Th. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. July 2012 i Abstract This thesis seeks to provide a grassroots study of the diocese of Middlesbrough (1779-1992), in order to contribute to the history of the English Catholic community since it emerged from the Penal Times. Secondly, it is an examination of the manifestation of revivalism and renewal in Catholic devotional practice. The geographical extent of the study covers an area of Yorkshire with a strong recusant history, and that period has been well-served in Catholic historiography. However, writing on the period following the easing of the Penal Laws on Catholics and into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is remarkable for the paucity of references to the diocese and the area that it covers. Therefore this study sheds light upon a particular Catholic community that has been largely invisible to historians. Although the Catholic community itself might appear to be invisible, the devotional practice within it offers many insights, such as the extent to which the social culture influenced the practice of faith. Therefore it teases out and examines the changing nature of devotional practice, and compares it to aspects of Evangelical revivalism that provided the surrounding religious culture. It also examines the influences that came to bear upon the community itself, assessing their importance in the revival and renewal of faith of the people within it. By examining the history of Catholic devotional practice in this area of Yorkshire, it comes to the conclusion that revivalism and renewal are integral elements in Catholic devotion and as a result Catholics and Evangelicals have more in common with each other than their adherents have been ready to acknowledge.

Parishes should add to this their Titular Feast and the Anniversary of Dedication or Consecration. Both of these are celebrated as Solemnities. Should they coincide with Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, Easter Week or any other solemnity, they are transferred to the nearest free day.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR THE CELEBRATION OF MASS AND DIVINE OFFICE SUNDAY The Sundays of Advent, Lent and Eastertide are Solemnities. On these Sundays no other celebration may replace that of the Sunday. The Sundays of Christmastide and Sundays in Ordinary Time are Feasts. These can be replaced by an occurring Solemnity. Sundays in Ordinary Time can also be replaced by Feasts of the Lord but by no other Feasts. On Sundays which are Feasts, the Mass of the Sunday may be replaced by a Funeral Mass or Ritual Mass, but other Masses may only be celebrated on the directions of, or with the permission of, the Bishop. At Mass on Sundays there are three Readings, and the Gloria, except in Advent and Lent, and the Creed are said.
