Now for an apology, or set of apologies. I have been a bit of a bottleneck in the Society’s affairs of late, for a variety of reasons. As a result, the promised new format of Ecclesiology Today has not yet been finalised - we need to get the details right, and I have held matters up. Nor have we yet transferred all the stock of the Society’s publications up to Whitby, where Dr Ockelton is setting up shop for members wanting to buy back copies; she has, however, been kept busy selling very sastisfactory numbers of Kenneth Richardson’s book on Southwark churches. Finally, as I write, the Society’s annual conference on 4th October is still being shaped: I hope the success of our previous conferences will encourage you to book, even though full details are not yet available. Now, two appeals for help. First, we are reviewing our visits policy, as attendance at these is highly erratic and sometimes too low for comfort. If you have any views about how we should set about organising our visits programme in future, please drop me or Christopher Webster a line. Secondly, we are looking for someone who has some experience as a researcher and writer, lives in London, has access to a computer for word-processing, and would like to write an article on some aspect of the history of the Society since 1879 (when the current Society was founded).This is for our 125th anniversary next year.We can point you to the relevant archives and give guidance. Contact me or Dr James Johnston if you’d like to find out more. Finally,as you’ll see from the enclosure, our AGM is on the 2nd July.The business part of the evening is normally carried out pretty briskly,so that the centre of gravity remains the lecture and informal reception.We should have a pleasant evening, and I and other members of Council look forward to seeing you there.

The medieval screen and its fate. The Great Screen was part of wider scheme for the east end which may have been planned under Cardinal Henry Beaufort (bishop 1404-17).4 It was carried out under his successor, Bishop William Waynflete (1447-87) and involved three inter-related schemes – the erection of Beaufort’s chantry,a new shrine to St Swithun in the retrochoir, and the building of the Great Screen itself as a division between the retrochoir and the chancel. Work went on for about twenty-five years and was complete (or very nearly so) by the time St Swithun’s relics were translated in 1476. Within less than a century the screen had been depopulated of its numerous statues and denud- ed of its rood group.The exact timing of removal is unclear but, at the latest, they would have all gone under the extreme Protestant Bishop Horne whose Injunctions of Bishop Horne of 1571 ordered the demolition of all ‘superstitious images’.5 The only figure carvings to survive in situ were the four angels in the spandrels over the doors on either side.6 In the 17th century, under Bishop Curle (1632-47) a large baldacchino was erected and about 1750 the screen was classicised by the installation of urns in the niches: then, if not earlier, the canopies over the niches in the lowest and middle tiers (other than over the doorways) were removed.7 The urns and and baldacchino were themselves removed, probably about 1820 and for most of the 19th century the Great Screen pre- sented a bare, forlorn appearance. It is hardly surprising that the restoration of the screen to its for- mer glory became a Victorian ambition. Restoration – the first phase In 1885 the idea of restoring the screen was by no means new. Owen Carter (1806-59), the Winchester architect under whom G. E. Street had trained, produced a picture of the screen restored but nothing came of this.8 In 1878 G. G. Scott was approached for his opinion.9 Thus he might have added this scheme to his vast portfolio of cathedral works had not death intervened the same year.Then, in 1880, Street was consulted and pointed out that quite substantial repairs would be needed before new statues could be installed since the screen was in ‘a most mutilated and unfin- 3 Eccles 31 ver 2Q3B 3/6/2003 1:52 pm Page 4 ished condition’.10 Once again death (in 1881) precluded any action and, furthermore, the then Dean, John Bramston, felt his age sapped his energies for what he knew would be a huge undertaking. By the time the Jacob Memorial project came into being there was a new Dean, George William Kitchin, appointed in 1883, and who had pre- viously taught history and classics at Oxford. It was he who set up a Cathedral Committee in 1884 (before Jacob’s death) to advise him and the Chapter on matters concern- ing the fabric. This also involved the laity, notably Lord Henry Scott (Baron Montagu of Beaulieu from 1885) and Meville Portal of Laverstoke Park, both of them strong- minded individuals whom we shall encounter later. In an attempt to draw up clear lines of responsibility, the Cathedral Committee minutes set out that, for the screen restoration, there must be sufficient funds available (£3,500), that the architect and artists were to be appointed by the Dean and Chapter, and that Dean and Chapter were responsible for whatev- er was done.11 Ultimate responsibili- ty, therefore, for the care of the fabric lay, as it always had done, with the From a carte de visite, c.1870 (author’s collection). Dean and Chapter. The Jacob Memorial Committee set about fund-raising but found the £3,500 target impossible to achieve. A closing date of Easter was set but by early March only £1,880 was in (including £300 from the Dean and Chapter) and this trickled up to a final total of £2,055.14.3 so a full restoration was out of the question, even just of the central part.12 The question now was which architect to appoint. The names of G. F. Bodley (‘who has achieved architectural honour in Oxford and elsewhere’) and J. D. Sedding (whose reredos for St Clement, Boscombe was cited) were put forward to the Dean and Chapter 4 Eccles 31 ver 2Q3B 3/6/2003 1:52 pm Page 5 although, as so often with the selection of architects, we do not know exactly by whom or how the choice was made.The job fell to Sedding in March and once again we do not know why this rising star was selected over his older and more eminent rival. How Bodley felt at being set aside for a man whose only previous major work was St Clement’s, over a decade before, we will, of course, never know.Sedding, who would normally have expected to earn 10% commission on such a job, agreed to settle for 5% plus travelling expenses.13 At the outset, and, as it were, emblematic of the future problems, there was the complicating fac- tor of John Colson. Colson had served loyally as Cathedral architect since 1858 and a vague hope was expressed by the Memorial Committee and the Dean and Chapter that Colson ‘might be asked to give his taste and local knowledge to the work’ and ‘have some share and charge under [Sedding] in the Restoration.’14 The idea developed that Sedding should pay Colson a gratuity but there is no indication that the latter contributed to the project or received any payment.

  • BISHOP's BULLETIN No 32 to the Licensed Clergy of Peterborough
    BISHOP’S BULLETIN No 32 To the Licensed Clergy of Peterborough Diocese 20 December 2020 Dear friends A Sunday bulletin, and a bumper one. These are the times we live in. Under Tier 4 for Peterborough, and Tier 2 for the rest of the diocese, with the Christmas permissions either removed or greatly curtailed, many of us and our people will be on our own or nearly so at Christmas. Then comes the post-Christmas break. For parish clergy, the perennial problem of time off at home, that is, time off in our primary place of work, seems insoluble. Let’s commit to pray for each other – perhaps particularly for those in your neighbouring parishes and in your deanery – that we will find real relaxation and refreshment after Christmas, whatever our context and situation. That is my prayer for you. Thank you for many kind Christmas cards and messages. It is good to be cared and prayed for – and to be made aware of that. This diocese gives great joy to me. Tiers (and Peals) of Christmas Joy I wrote recently about permissions for bellringing. Belay that. No ringing can be permitted in Tier 4, and in Tier 2 it must now be restricted to Christmas Day only, and under the conditions I described last week. People are asking about Christmas services, particularly in Tier 4, but also with the tightened restrictions for Tier 2. The rules for public worship remain unchanged, even in Tier 4, but the context and culture have changed very markedly with the new more infectious and faster spreading variant of the virus.

  • John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal
    John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal Ágnes Juhász-Ormsby The Episcopal Library of St. John’s is among the few nineteenth- century libraries that survive in their original setting in the Atlantic provinces, and the only one in Newfoundland and Labrador.1 It was established by John Thomas Mullock (1807–69), Roman Catholic bishop of Newfoundland and later of St. John’s, who in 1859 offered his own personal collection of “over 2500 volumes as the nucleus of a Public Library.” The Episcopal Library in many ways differs from the theological libraries assembled by Mullock’s contemporaries.2 When compared, for example, to the extant collection of the Catholic bishop of Victoria, Charles John Seghers (1839–86), whose life followed a similar pattern to Mullock’s, the division in the founding collection of the Episcopal Library between the books used for “private” as opposed to “public” theological study becomes even starker. Seghers’s books showcase the customary stock of a theological library with its bulky series of manuals of canon law, collections of conciliar and papal acts and bullae, and practical, dogmatic, moral theological, and exegetical works by all the major authors of the Catholic tradition.3 In contrast to Seghers, Mullock’s library, although containing the constitutive elements of a seminary library, is a testimony to its found- er’s much broader collecting habits. Mullock’s books are not restricted to his philosophical and theological studies or to his interest in univer- sal church history. They include literary and secular historical works, biographies, travel books, and a broad range of journals in different languages that he obtained, along with other necessary professional 494 newfoundland and labrador studies, 32, 2 (2017) 1719-1726 John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal tools, throughout his career.

    Episcopacy in the Diocese of Chelmsford: A new Bishop of Bradwell November 2017 DRAFT Contents 1. Introduction 3 2. A Vision for the Diocese of Chelmsford 6 3. Overview of the Diocese of Chelmsford 8 4. The Episcopal Areas and Archdeaconries 9 5. Role description and Person Specification 10 6. The Bradwell Episcopal Area 13 7. Working together 19 Appendix: The diocese and its people 20 1. Introduction What sort of episcopal oversight, leadership and ministry do we need in the diocese of Chelmsford? Since 1984 the answer to this question was the area system. That is, a system of oversight and governance, whereby the diocese was organised into three areas, with virtually all episcopal responsibilities delegated to the Area Bishop. This in turn leaves the diocesan free for strategic oversight within the diocese and for national responsibilities. The diocese of Chelmsford is what you might call, a small province rather than a big diocese. However, for about the same amount of time there has also been a recognition that this model wasn’t working as well as it might. The sheer size of the diocese has always stretched our leadership structures and resources. In 1989 a decision was made to create a fourth episcopal area, but this was never implemented beyond creating a new archdeaconry of Harlow in 1993. The question was raised several times and particularly by Bishop John Gladwin. Stephen Cottrell was enthroned as the tenth Bishop of Chelmsford in November 2010. He was appointed with a clear brief to help the Church in Essex and East London become more intentionally missional and evangelistic in all its ministry.

The colours are produced by adding a metallic oxide to the glass. • The means of colouring glass was understood in the early years of the Common Era. The earliest stained glass in Europe has been found at Jarrow at the monastery where Bede lived, prayed, taught and wrote.
