Amen. 12 St Thomas Street, Winchester SO23 9HF 01962 841484 [email protected] www.godwins-law.co.uk Welcome A Memorable Year This was the year that so much of the latest restoration, conservation and building work in the Cathedral came to glorious fruition. For The Friends, after so many months, at last the sheets and scaffolding disappeared to reveal, in all their splendid glory, the projects we have supported in the presbytery. The East Window has been released from its hiding place and the result, partly funded by The Friends, is devastatingly beautiful. The dismantling of the scaffolding also allowed the Great Screen to be cleaned for the first time in more than a century. Thank you to you all for your continued support. Your regular subscriptions enable The Friends to continue to underpin the Cathedral in so many essential ways. I hope you share the absolute delight of the Trustees in being able to make just a small difference to this incredible building and its wonderful community. After six admirable years as Director, we were sad to say goodbye to Lesley Bestwick who has chosen to move on to a challenging role with a Southampton charity. Her hard work has left a lasting mark on our organisation and all our thanks go to her. However, we are delighted, of course, to welcome Lucy Hutchin as her successor.

Beyond the activity proceeding within the Cathedral Cathedral itself, a significant contract has been as remarkable as in previous has also been undertaken at the years; several areas of the HLF project Deanery which has not been subject to have reached completion and other such attention for several decades. works have commenced, notably on Last year, this annual report recorded the north transept and north presbytery that the work to the polychrome aisle windows and the installation of bosses of the presbytery vault had been carried out. The results of this work, and the repainting of the vault fields and ribs, has now been revealed for all to see with the scaffold having been dismantled in the first months of 2018. It is now possible to look up once again and take in the full height of the presbytery and enjoy the light coming through the clerestory windows. It was during this last year that the conservation of the stained glass was completed by Holy Well Glass together with the associated stone repairs. The study of the limewash on south window 2 and south window 3 and trials on how to deal with it have yielded very pleasing results. Much of it, where on unpainted glass, could be removed but removal on painted lines was not possible without affecting the mediaeval paint itself. As such, the limewash has been left on the painted lines but the extent to which it might be damaging in the future is now mitigated by the external protective glazing. This prevents the condensation that was a significant component of the Stained glass completion decay process. 6 Winchester cathedral record 2018 Almost all revealed Presbytery vault and bosses The stonework of the presbytery, above gallery level, was all vacuumed down and more stubborn areas of grime were carefully removed by a conservator.

The final effort in the stone cleaning and limewashing of the traceries was guided by trying to achieve an New tracery stonework being pieced overall balance in the appearance of into the north transept windows the presbytery whereby it appears coherent and cared for but still tells of craftsmanship is outstanding and in its great age and history. places, such as the canopies over the One of the last activities undertaken doors to the feretory, small traces during the dismantling of the scaffold of the polychrome paint that once in the presbytery was the cleaning covered the screen can be seen. down of the Great Screen.

  • Field Systems and Demesne Farming on the Wiltshire Estates of Saint Swithun's Priory, Winchester, I248-134O* by BAN KY HAR KISON
    Field Systems and Demesne Farming on the Wiltshire Estates of Saint Swithun's Priory, Winchester, I248-134o* By BAN_KY HAR_KISON Abstract Manorial compoti are used to describe the demesne agriculture of Winchester Cathedral Priory on its chalkland manors in Wihshire between I248 and I34o. The demesnes are found to have been operated largely within the two-field systems of the viUs even where, at first sight, the use of independent furlongs seems to be suggested. The disadvantages of this system were partly offset by the priory's near monopoly of pasture, hay and timber resources, as well as by the absence of sub-manors and freeholds. Nevertheless, productivity is found to be low - although no lower than on other demesnes in the same district - but some evidence of intensification through the use of legumes and relatively high stocking ratios has been found for certain cereals on a few manors where market sale rather than monastic supply was the main object of arable farming. EDIEWL farming practices in local level has indeed been undertaken Wiltshire are better known than with impressive results for the later medie- M those of other Wessex counties val and early modem periods but compari- thanks largely to a long tradition of local sons with the earlier period, before the journal and record publications, and to the Black Death, tend to be based either upon thoroughly researched parish surveys in the much older work or upon the parish sur- on-going Victoria County History.

  • Winchester Cathedral Close
    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS ' 9 WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL CLOSE. By T. D. ATKINSON. Present Lay-out. HE Cathedral precincts of to-day are conterminous with those of the Middle Ages-containing the Priory of Saint Swithun, T and are still surrounded by the great wall of the monastery. ' But while the church itself has been lucky in escaping most of the misfortunes which have overtaken so many cathedral and other churches, the monastic, buildings have been among the most unfortunate. The greater number have been entirely destroyed. The present lay-out of the Close not only tells us nothing of the monastic plan, but so far as possible misleads us. The only building which informs us of anything that we could not have guessed for ourselves is the Deanery. That does tell us at least where the Prior v lived. For the rest, the site of the very dorter, as the monks called their dormitory, is uncertain, while we are still more ignorant of the position of the infirmary, a great building probably measuring 200. feet by 50 feet.1 There is little left either of material remains, or of documentary evidence to give us a hint on these things, for the documents have perished and the general topography has been turned upside down and its character entirely transformed. Upside down because the main entrance to the precincts is now on the South, whereas it was formerly to the North, and transformed because the straight walks . of the cloister and the square courts and gardens harmonizing with the architecture have given place to elegant serpentine carriage sweeps which branch into one another with easy curves, like a well-planned railway junction.
