There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

For much of the last century the Church of England was in decline. The world was changing rapidly. But it is very important to remember: The Big Picture • Over two thousand years the story of the Christian church has been one of growth • Across the world, the Christian church is growing steadily In England • Decline has slowed down and levelled off over the last 10 years. • Midweek church attendance has grown rapidly • Many new congregations have grown in all kinds of churches • We have learned important lessons about making disciples • There are growing churches of all traditions Over the three years 2008-2010, all age weekly attendance across the Diocese of Sheffield grew by 1.5% By promoting Church Family, welcoming and inspiring children, and being active in partnership with the local schools and community All Saints’ Woodlands has grown from 60 adults to 130 adults and children over 6 years.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Beauchief in Sheffield is a beautiful hillside at the foot of which, near the river Sheaf, and on the still wooded south-western fringes of the city, are the remains of the medieval abbey that housed, from the late twelfth century until the Henrician Reformation, Augustinian canons belonging to the Premonstratensian order. Augustinian canonries were generally modest places, although for reasons that have been persuasively advanced by the late Sir Richard Southern, this fact should never obscure the breadth of their significance in the wider history of medieval urban and rural localities: The Augustinian canons, indeed, as a whole, lacked every mark of greatness. They were neither very rich, nor very learned, nor very religious, nor very influential: but as a phenomenon they are very important. They filled a very big gap in the biological sequence of medieval religious houses. Like the ragwort which adheres so tenaciously to the stone walls of Oxford, or the sparrows of the English towns, they were not a handsome species. They needed the proximity of human habitation, and they throve on the contact which repelled more delicate organisms. They throve equally in the near-neighbourhood of a town or a castle. For the well-to-do townsfolk they could provide the amenity of burial-places, memorials and masses for the dead, and schools and confessors of superior standing for the living. For the lords of castles they could provide a staff for the chapel and clerks for the needs of administration. They were ubiquitously useful. They could live on comparatively little, yet expand into affluence without disgrace.
  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021

    Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021

    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year.

The land was saved for the public of Sheffield by the great philanthropist, Alderman J.G. Graves. The place we see today is the site of the older ‘Norton Park’ which was a famous location as a so-called ‘picturesque’ landscape in the 1700s and 1800s. With its unrivalled views west to the Peak District, the park was famed for its glorious sunsets and was a place to visit for the enlightened society of the time. Together with the Friends of Graves Park group, we have been investigating to re- discover this ‘lost’ parkland. The present phase of work supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund has now closed. Work so far with the Friends of Graves Park, South Yorkshire Biodiversity Research Group, and Sheffield Hallam University has unearthed a rich diversity of evidence and materials relating to the history of the park and its threatened heritage.
  • + Diocese of Sheffield DAC Guidance Notes

    + Diocese of Sheffield DAC Guidance Notes

    +Diocese of Sheffield DAC Guidance Notes List of Approved Architects and Surveyors 2013- 2017 Updated February 2015 1 List of Approved QI Architects & Surveyors 2013- 2017 2 Quinquennial Inspections (QI) PCCs are required to commission a full inspection of the church building and its curtilage once every five years. This is a statutory requirement under The Inspection of Churches Measure 1955 (Quinquennial Inspections) Care of Churches and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1991. Under the Measure, only those architects and surveyors approved by the DAC can undertake the Quinquennial Inspection of a church. In order to fulfil their responsibilities under the Measure, PCCs who fail in their duty in this regard may find that the Archdeacon will commission an inspection for which the PCC will have to pay. The importance of regular inspections by architects and surveyors who specialise in the conservation and repair of historic buildings cannot be over-emphasised. Historic and 'traditional' structures deteriorate in a manner that is very different from modern buildings and it takes a specialist to identify correctly defects that require attention from the superficial results of the ageing process. The five yearly QI report is one of the most important tools for the church in understanding and maintaining the fabric of its building. A QI report should include a list of recommended works in order of urgency, most of which will require a detailed specification and schedule to be submitted as a faculty application prior to the work being carried out. If your QI report does not include such a list, please refer your Church Inspector to the template available on the diocesan website that sets out the required content of a QI report.
