    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ROCHESTER CATHEDRAL IN 1634 By V. J. TORR MANY years ago I published in Volume LVII of Archceologia Cantiana an account of a journey through Kent in 1723, which was copied from the version printed by the Historical MSS. Commission, and wherein are contained various interesting references to bygone Rochester. The long series of these closely-printed volumes comprises all sorts of items of local significance, but it is feared that they are lost to most people, by reason of the few public libraries which possess them. I now revert to the same source to set down in these pages the Kentish portions of documents of great historic importance, the metropolitical visitation of his province undertaken by Archbishop Laud, soon after his translation from London to Canterbury in 1633. I shall take Rochester first and Canterbury second, with warning to the reader that both reports affect only the cathedral establishments and not the respective dioceses. This valuable series is not complete for the province of Canterbury. There is nothing for the following sees, although it is known that their cathedrals were actually visited, the records not however included by Hit. MSS. Corn.: Chichester, Ely, Lincoln, Oxford, and Winchester (undated); and Hereford and the four in Wales, probably in 1635 or 1636. St. Paul's was left until 1636, and duly appears in H.M.C. In 1634 were taken Canterbury, Rochester, Sarum, Bristol, Wells, and Exeter, each with both injunctions and reports.

  • Rochester Cathedral: Roof Repairs (1 Project Funded in 3 Phases) Awarded a Total of £832,000 Between November 2014 and July 2016
    Rochester Cathedral: Roof Repairs (1 project funded in 3 phases) Awarded a total of £832,000 between November 2014 and July 2016 The need The 2013 Quinquennial Inspection highlighted the need for a number of significant areas of repair work, with the full cost of the repairs in the region of £5 million, a sum far beyond the capacity of the cathedral to fund. Each area required urgent repairs to keep the building wind- and weather-tight, safe and open. In some place leaks had already caused damage to timber beams and threatened plasterwork in the historic Chapter Library. Around the north side work was Aerial view of the roof works in progress. Photo credit: SUMO Aerial needed to prevent falls of stone from split and Surveys. decayed shafts and ensure weather proofing to masonry below, and for repairs and weather proofing to weak, buckled and leaking stained glass and clear glazing. Falling masonry presented a danger to the public and would have required closing the north door, the main entrance of the cathedral for visitors and the only level access point. Outcomes The building is now much more watertight, making the building drier and reducing the risk of damage. There is no longer plasterwork falling from the ceiling. Due to these important works, further development work funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of the cathedral’s Hidden Treasures, Fresh Expressions project could proceed. A new skylight to the Gundulf tower has significantly increased the light available to the music room below, whilst also rendering the roof watertight and draught proof.

It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. In the declaration you are about to make will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making him known to those in your care?” Preface to the Declaration of Assent (Canon C15) These words introduce the Declaration of Assent which is made by those being commissioned for ordained and lay ministries in our church. They indicate the particular place which the Church of England inhabits in the life of this country. Our heritage is that of the Gospel handed down through the generations, but also the heritage of our ministry and our buildings, together with a substantial role in the nation’s public life. Our ministry has a significant impact on the stories people tell each other of what it means to be a Christian in this country.

  • Tittler on Keene and Burns and Saint, 'St. Paul's: the Cathedral Church of London, 604-2004'
    H-Albion Tittler on Keene and Burns and Saint, 'St. Paul's: The Cathedral Church of London, 604-2004' Review published on Thursday, September 1, 2005 Derek Keene, Arthur Burns, Andrew Saint, eds. St. Paul's: The Cathedral Church of London, 604-2004. Yale University Press: New Haven and London, 2004. xvi + 538 pp. $125.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-300-09276-9. Reviewed by Robert Tittler (Department of History, Concordia University, Montreal) Published on H-Albion (September, 2005) Essay collections on the history of English cathedrals have recently become something of a fashion, with significant volumes being published over the last few years on Norwich Cathedral by Ian Atherton et al. (1996), Rochester Cathedral by Philip McAleer (1999), and Hereford Cathedral by Gerald Aylmer et al. (2000). Yet given its far greater prominence and centrality in the history of the nation, not to mention the affluence and influence of its patronal community, no such work has, or is likely to measure up to the length, weight, and virtual grandeur of this volume celebrating the fourteen-hundredth anniversary of St. Paul's Cathedral. At 538 pages, 42 chapters from 46 contributors, and 389 images, many in color, this volume requires additional digits for any standard scale by which its production might be measured. Somewhat more open to speculation are questions about what it actually offers, how it will be used, and by whom. In order to orient the reader to its layout and guide him or her through the whole, the editors have sensibly divided the work into three parts.

  • MC Rochester Cathedral Speech 17.4
    Rochester Cathedral Business Guild Dinner 17/4/13 Rochester’s pivotal role in the XII Century, and why it matters today Sir Robert Worcester1 The Dean of Rochester, Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you will forgive me for diverting from the title of my talk at its very start, but given where we are, in the very crypt of this cathedral, in light of the news the Dean gave us last October about the HLF grant for the restoration and development of this wonderful crypt where we are meeting this evening, I thought some relevant earlier history would be appropriate. My talk starts in the VIIth Century around the time this Cathedral was built. As Chancellor of the University of Kent, with a campus in Medway, I have the honour to hold graduation ceremonies in the nave of this church – and we robe in this crypt, so I know it well. When the then Dean, Adrian Newman, told me about the Textus Roffensus, the XIIth Century book (written in the early 1120s), the ‘First Code of English Law’, the laws of King Aethelbert in around 600 AD, I promised him that I would do my best to make it famous. As I stand in my robes at the top of the nave above us to welcome the University of Kent graduands, as I will again in July, I say to those students whose hard work and diligence have earned them their degrees, and their parents and friends, in my welcome: “It is a great pleasure to welcome you to this historic Cathedral, Britain’s second oldest, consecrated in 603 AD, some 14 Centuries ago.

Party Simon and Joanna kindly hosted a party at their house in August when we were able to thank Michael, Matthew and Dilys for their contribution to the Choir over many years.

  • Anglican Cathedrals in the British Isles
    Anglican Cathedrals in the British Isles Religion Media Centre Collaboration House, 77-79 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4LP | [email protected] Charity registration number: 1169562 Thousands of people are expected to visit English Cathedrals this Christmas for special services, carols and nativity plays. Figures produced by the Church of England in the annual ‘Cathedral Statistics’ suggest that Cathedrals continue to hold a special attraction in cities across the country. Christmas services in 2018 attracted 133,000 people but the numbers attending for services throughout Advent, including carol services, concerts and nativity plays topped 617,000. Attendance for Easter services was 58,000, with the numbers attending services in Holy week reaching 95,000. In total, almost 10 million people visited Cathedrals in England in 2018, a rise of almost one million on the previous year, with one third paying as visitors. The rise could be explained by extra events for the World War One Armistice Day commemorations, and by special events laid onto attract visitors such as art, music and space displays. But the number of people regularly worshipping in Cathedrals is much lower - only 36,700 people per week, down by 300 on the previous year, with attendance split evenly between Sunday worship and midweek services. EXPLAINER -- WHAT ARE CATHEDRALS? Cathedrals are the central churches in the dioceses or episcopal areas overseen by bishops. They are centres of learning, worship and Christian mission but also of the Anglican choral tradition, of living heritage and, even, tourism. Within each cathedral is the cathedra, the seat of the bishop and the Latin from which these central churches get their name.
