Choral Evensong with the the Installation of the Revd Rosie Austin the Revd James Grier and the Revd Deborah Parsons As Prebendaries
Choral Evensong with the The Installation of The Revd Rosie Austin The Revd James Grier and The Revd Deborah Parsons as Prebendaries Sunday 11 October 2020 4pm The Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Robert Bishop of Exeter Welcome to the Cathedral We at Exeter Cathedral are delighted to host this service of installation for Rosie Austin, James Grier and Deborah Parsons. We welcome them and their families. As members of the College of Canons, they will contribute to the life of the Cathedral and its governance, and promote the mission and service of the Church in the Diocese. As members of the College of Canons, they receive the Cathedral’s annual report and accounts, discuss matters concerning the Cathedral, and give advice or counsel as requested by the Bishop or Chapter. The Cathedral Church of St. Peter in Exeter, founded in 1050, has been the seat (cathedra) of the bishop of Exeter, the symbol of his spiritual and teaching authority, for nearly 1000 years. As such the Cathedral is a centre of worship and mission for the whole of Devon. A centuries-old pattern of daily worship continues, sustained by the best of the Anglican choral tradition. The cathedral is a place of outreach, learning, and spirituality, inviting people into a richer and more engaged discipleship. The Cathedral is a destination for many pilgrims and visitors who come from near and far, drawn by the physical and spiritual heritage of this place. Exeter Cathedral belongs to all the people of Devon, and we warmly welcome you here. COVID-19: Infection Control Face Coverings in the cathedral As of 8 August 2020, wearing face coverings in places of worship is now mandatory. -
Cathedral News
Cathedral News August 2019 – No. 688 From: The Dean We’ve recently gone through the process of Peer Review. After the Chapter had completed a lengthy self-evaluation questionnaire on matters of governance and finance and so on, three reviewers came from other cathedrals to mark our homework. Or rather, to bring an external perspective to bear, and help us refine our thinking about where we are heading as a cathedral. In spite of our natural wariness in advance, only to be expected given the amount of external scrutiny the cathedral has undergone in recent years, it was an encouraging experience. More of that, however, in a future Cathedral News. For now, I want to pick up on a comment made by all three reviewers. They came to us from Liverpool, Winchester, and Ely, and all expressed delight, and surprise, at the splendour of our cathedral: “We had no idea what a marvellous building it is!” For me, their observations provoked two questions... Is it because we all take the building for granted? Or is it because we’ve failed to tell our story effectively? I suspect there is truth behind both these questions. We all know how ‘distance lends enchantment to the view’; and the converse is also clearly true. It is not that familiarity necessarily breeds contempt, but you cannot live in a perpetual state of wonderment. Sir Simon Jenkins, the author of all those books on beautiful houses and railway stations and churches and cathedrals, told of his visit to Exeter: “I came into the cathedral and sat in silence for half an hour, overwhelmed by the beauty of the place.” I have the benefit of being in the cathedral every day, and will often speak of how our vaulted ceiling lifts my heart daily to heaven. -

The Anglophone Toponyms Associated with John Smith's <I
names, Vol. 57 No. 4, December, 2009, 189–207 The Anglophone Toponyms Associated with John Smith’s Description and Map of New England Matthew H Edney University of Southern Maine, USA This article clarifies a well-known but hitherto unexamined phenomenon: the Anglophone toponyms imposed on Captain John Smith’s map, New England ([1617]). It explains names that are otherwise obscure to modern historians and geographers, it considers the pattern of the new toponyms, and it allocates responsibility for the names not only to the future Charles I but also to Smith himself. It also lists the indigenous place and polity names recorded by Smith in his Description of New England (1616). It concludes with a cautionary tale concerning historiographic presumptions about the map’s efficacy in shaping the adoption of toponyms by subsequent English colonists. keywords Captain John Smith, Charles I (Great Britain), New England, Cartography, Colonization, Promotional propaganda Introduction Captain John Smith’s map New England (Figure 1) has long been famous for the manner in which its Anglophone toponyms were selected by the then fourteen-year- old future Charles I (Edney, 2010). Smith had developed the idea of a colony in 1614 when he had voyaged quickly down the east coast of northern Virginia from Mt Desert Island to Cape Cod; he called this putative colony New England by analogy to the Nova Albion previously declared by Sir Francis Drake on the west coast of North America. To promote this colony, he prepared both New England and a letterpress pamphlet, A Description of New England (Smith, 1616: 3). -

258 SOCIAL STATUS of the OLE ROT in the April the Social Status
258 SOCIAL STATUS OF THE OLE ROT IN THE April The Social Status of the Clergy in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries THBBE has already been much discussion of the passage in which Lord Macaulay some seventy years ago described the social position occupied by the clergy of the church of England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He wrote that when the Downloaded from church lost its old wealth and splendour at the Reformation, the sacerdotal office lost its attraction for the higher classes. During the century which followed the accession of Elizabeth scarce a single person of noble descent took Orders. At the close of the reign of Charles II two sons of peers were bishops ; four or five sons of peers were priests, and held http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ valuable preferments; but these rare exceptions did not take away the reproach which lay on the body. The clergy were regarded, on the whole, as a plebeian class ; and, indeed, for one who made the figure of a gentle- man, ten were mere menial servants.1 It was of this passage that Mr. Gladstone wrote: Few portions of his brilliant work have achieved a more successful notoriety. It may perhaps be said to have been stereotyped in the common English at University of California, San Francisco on March 6, 2015 mind. It is, in its general result, highly disparaging, and yet that genera- tion of clergy was, as we conceive, the most powerful and famous in the annals of the English Church. If we do not include yet earlier times, it is from want of record, rather than from fear of comparison.2 Recent historians 8 of the church of England have concurred in Mr. -

William Peckitt's Great West Window at Exeter Cathedral
WILLIAM PECKITT’S GREAT WEST WINDOW AT EXETER CATHEDRAL C S Atkinson A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth In partial fulfilment for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY October 2011 i Copyright This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and that no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the author’s prior consent. All photographs are by the author, unless otherwise stated All quotations, pictures and images have been utilised under the Fair Dealing for review principle of the UK Copyright, Design and Patents Act 1988. Additionally, every attempt has been made to identify and obtain direct permission to use pictures and images that are not my own property. ii Abstract This thesis examines the Great West Window at Exeter Cathedral designed by William Peckitt of York (1731-95). Peckitt was arguably the most important glass designer of the eighteenth century and undertook prestigious commissions at York, Oxford and elsewhere. In 1764 he was contracted by the Dean of Exeter, Jeremiah Milles, to supply glass to complete the restoration of the Cathedral’s glazing and to make the new window, which has often been considered to be his masterpiece. Peckitt’s Great West Window is no longer extant (although portions of it have been salvaged), having been replaced in 1904 with a window, designed by Messrs Burlison and Grylls, which was itself destroyed by enemy action in 1942. The Burlison and Grylls window was more in keeping with the Gothic revival aesthetic typical of the later nineteenth century and its proponents had argued forcefully that Peckitt’s Great West Window was an aberration that needed to be removed. -
