REACHING out a Celebration of the Work of the Choir Schools’ Association
REACHING OUT A celebration of the work of the Choir Schools’ Association The Choir Schools’ Association represents 46 schools attached to cathedrals, churches and college chapels educating some 25,000 children. A further 13 cathedral foundations, who draw their choristers from local schools, hold associate membership. In total CSA members look after nearly 1700 boy and girl choristers. Some schools cater for children up to 13. Others are junior schools attached to senior schools through to 18. Many are Church of England but the Roman Catholic, Scottish and Welsh churches are all represented. Most choir schools are independent but five of the country’s finest maintained schools are CSA members. Being a chorister is a huge commitment for children and parents alike. In exchange for their singing they receive an excellent musical training and first-class academic and all-round education. They acquire self- discipline and a passion for music which stay with them for the rest of their lives.

February 2021 Support for Leicester Cathedral Revealed
Diocese of Leicester Diocesan Synod – 13th February 2021 Support for Leicester Cathedral Revealed Resolution 1 The Synod agrees to make a grant of £500,000 from the funds of the Leicester Diocesan Board of Finance to the ‘Leicester Cathedral Revealed’ project. Amendment 1 The Synod amends Resolution 1 by substituting ‘The Synod approves the purchase at fair market value by the Leicester Diocesan Board of Finance of one of the clergy houses belonging to Leicester Cathedral.’ The pages which follow set out the case for Synod to support Resolution 1 or Amendment 1. 0. Procedural note 0.1 The DBF trustees agreed to recommend to the Diocesan Synod, but subject to Bishops Leadership Team (BLT) endorsement of the missional priority of the project, “that the Cathedral should be awarded a grant of £500k towards Leicester Cathedral Revealed (LCR). The trustees further agreed that, in the event that it were not possible to award a grant, then the option of buying one of the Cathedral clergy houses and leasing it back should be pursued.” 0.2 Following consideration of this recommendation, there was a clear consensus amongst the members of BLT to endorse the recommendation of the DBF trustees. Accordingly, Synod is presented with Resolution 1, which encapsulates the preference of both the DBF Trustees and the members of BLT. However, Amendment 1 will be moved to enable Synod, should it not feel able to make a grant, to consider the alternative of supporting LCR by purchasing and leasing back one of the Cathedral clergy houses, thereby releasing its cash value for the Cathedral to put towards the costs of LCR. -

RESTORATIONS of ST. MARTIN's CHURCH, LEICESTER By
RESTORATIONS OF ST. MARTIN'S CHURCH, LEICESTER by ROGER KEENE I It is a far cry from the Sketchbook of Villard de Honnecourt,2 that record of a thirteenth-century maitre d'oeuvre, the "Gothic Vitruvius", to the drawings of Raphael Brandon, the nineteenth-century professional architect; from the original shout of Gothic joy to the distant echo six hundred years later. Arnd yet ,both mern were dedicated to the same art. Raphael Brandon, in fact, had his earliest training in France, and studied the same buildings which Villard recorded with such great gusto at the time of their construction. Many of Braindon's contemporaries did likewise, and these .men - the much and over-maligned "restorers", "copyists" and "despoilers of our architectural herita~" - were equally enthusiasts, who between them sketched, measured and wrote about their love with a personal dedication, a fanaticism, which it would be hard to match today, and might well have put Villard de Honnecourt to shame. Putting on one side for a moment the complex religious and social forces which helped to mould the Gothic Revival, these men may be considered in the first instance as enthusiasts in their profession of architecture. Our Mr. Brandon was one of these. He served St. Martin's church in Leicester for thirty-one years - from 1846, when he was a young man of 29, until his sad death in 1877, at the age of 60. He is the man who shaped St. Martin's into the church we see today. He was aided and encouraged by another principal participant who was not so much a person as a family. -

CNI -March 26
March 26 ! CNI ! An honour guard lowers Richard III’s casket into a new tomb in Leicester Cathedral yesterday. Report in this issue. Irish Churches Peace Project has gone beyond nice meetings - Bishop McKeown Bishop Donal McKeown speaking at the opening of a conference of participants in the Irish Churches Peace Project in Templepatrick yesterday said - [email protected] Page !1 March 26 “Our aim is expressed clearly on our website - Promoting community reconciliation through the churches working together. We can’t do everything – but we want to do everything that we can. Thus, we have emphasised support for local parishes and congregations to meet and to build on what has already existed. “This week’s award of the Freedom of the City of Derry-Londonderry to Bishops Edward Daly and James Mehaffey is a sign that, in some places, good inter- church relations in public and private have already been long established and effective in healing old wounds. “In other places, we had to start with bringing clergy together. Often their previous lack of co-operation was based more on a lack of time or support than on antagonism or enmity. Pastoring your own flock can be strenuous enough. But even though we chose often challenging areas in which to do our work, the response has [email protected] Page !2 March 26 been very positive and encouraging. There is a lot of good will out the in the churches. What was missing with the know-how and the co-ordination. “But we have tried to go beyond nice meetings. -

King Richard III Tour of England
King Richard III Tour of England King Richard III Tour of England Day One Stratford upon Avon AM: Blue badge walking tour of Stratford upon Avon including the historical connection to the area and the impact of Shakespeare’s representation of the King. Visit to Shakespeare's Birthplace. Lunch in Stratford Warwick Castle. A tour of the castle that the Richard III owned for a while after the execution of his brother, and was the home of his wife Anne Neville. Richard ordered the construction of the tower on the north wall, but only the Bear and Clarence Towers at a much smaller height were built. Evening Accommodation in Stratford Day Two AM: Blue Badge Walking Tour of Coventry – King Richard III visited and stayed in Coventry in June 1485. He is famously featured in the main tapestry in the Guildhall, as is Anne Neville. Troops from the city are supposed to have supported him at Bosworth and the city provided food for him at Bosworth. The Guildhall was also a place of visit for William Shakespeare, and there is the suggestion that William got his inspiration for the big interest in the War of the Roses, partly from this famous tapestry, which also features King Henry VI and his wife. Lunch in Coventry King Richard III Tour of England PM: Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre (including exhibition, guided walk, falconry display & lunch) One of Bosworth’s knowledgeable and experienced Guides will bring the events of the Battle of Bosworth to life. The walk is just under 2km long across rolling countryside and therefore appropriate footwear and weather proof clothing is recommended. -
Cathedral in Touch a Newsletter for Our Community 30 May 2021 | Trinity Sunday
Cathedral in Touch A Newsletter for our Community 30 May 2021 | Trinity Sunday Gaia Choir Chaperones LCR Luke Jerram's art installation A call for volunteers now A surprising discovery in comes to the Cathedral our choirs are back! the North Porch LCR We’ve reached the epoch of the Christian Year with Whit or Trinity Sunday still marked in society through the remnant of the second May Bank Holiday. We now enter what Precentors call ‘Ordinary Time’. The most obvious sign of this is that the vestments change to green for the growing season. It interests me that growth is especially associated less with the Feasts and more with the ordinary. This year, Ordinary Time from now through to the late autumn will probably be particularly memorable; less because of Covid but hopefully more related to the Welcome Welcome transformation of our cathedral from tranquil idyl to dusty building site as Leicester Cathedral Revealed hopefully starts in earnest. We have identified Messenger Construction, based in Standford, as our builders. They are not only fairly local but they have a great list of sucessful projects including repairing the Turret Gateway Magazine in the city, the resotration of Beverley Minster and the building of Neville Holt Opera House. They are primed and ready to come onto site in July, pending Cathedral Chapter being able to sign the contract. We await two successful grant applications and raising £500k (which includes money to support cathedral running costs while the building work requires us to be closed). The top of the mountain is nearly reached but one final push is now needed to take us ‘home’. -
