  • Friends of Bradford Cathedral Newsletter Spring 2016
    Friends of Bradford Cathedral Newsletter Spring 2016 Letter from the Chairman Dear Friends As I write this, the England cricket team is in the ascendancy at Headingley and the sun is shining! Long may it continue. First: an apology. It seems that some of you who receive your mailings through the post have fallen off the list. (I realise you may not be reading this if that’s the case ….!) If you know of someone in this predicament, do please contact me as soon as possible. Can I take this opportunity to encourage you to help the Friends by using email as your preferred means of receiving information? The cost of sending out 60+ lots of paperwork by post is becoming a real worry, as I’m sure you understand. The cost of postage, paper, labels and envelopes is not insignificant; in addition, it takes quite a time to print and collate the papers, put them in the envelopes and get the labels on. I can guarantee that we will not divulge any information we hold: it will be completely safe. To those of you who allow us to use email, our heartfelt thanks. If you are able to switch to email, do please contact me – thank you. You will have read in the AGM literature of the projects the Friends have supported during the year. Please come and pay us a visit – both the Close and the Cathedral are looking particularly fine, especially now that this phase of the outside work has been completed. In addition, as we await the appointment of a Canon Precentor, our hard- pressed Cathedral staff will appreciate your support and your prayers.

  • A View from the Archives of Durham, St Paul's, and York Minster
    Cathedral music and the First World War: A view from the Archives of Durham, St Paul’s, and York Minster Enya Helen Lauren Doyle Master of Arts (by research) University of York Music July 2016 Abstract This thesis explores the impact of the First World War on English Cathedral music, both during the long four years and in its aftermath. Throughout this study, reference will be made specifically to three English cathedrals: York Minster, Durham and St Paul’s. The examination will be carried out chronologically, in three parts: before the war (part one), during the war (part two) and after the war (part three). Each of these three parts consists of two chapters. Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 help to set the scene and offer context. In chapters 2- 5 there is a more focused and systematic investigation into the day-to-day administrative challenges that the Cathedrals faced, followed in each chapter by an assessment of the musical programme. Chapter 6 examines the long-term impact of the war on British cathedral music, especially in the centenary anniversary years. The Great War is often perceived as a complete break with the past, yet it also represented an imaginative continuity of sorts. As such, 1914-18 can be seen as a period of twilight in a lot of senses. The war managed to bring the flirtation with modernism, which was undoubtedly happening at the beginning of the century, to at least a temporary halt. Through the examination of the archives of the three cathedrals, this thesis investigates how the world war left its mark on the musical life of this portion of English religious and music life, during and after the war, drawing national comparisons as well as showing the particulars of each cathedral.

Jerry Lepine, Dean of Bradford, will be marking this year’s ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ by visiting and praying at the three Cathedrals in the Diocese of Leeds as part of Bradford Cathedral’s Centenary celebrations. Dean Jerry will be visiting and praying at Wakefield Cathedral on Thursday 30th May, Bradford Cathedral on Monday 3rd June and Ripon Cathedral on Wednesday 5th June, at 3pm on each day. Dean Jerry is also inviting people from the Diocese of Leeds to come and join him during this pilgrimage of prayer. The period of ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer. Dean Jerry says: "As part of Bradford Cathedral's Centenary I am looking forward to praying in each of the three Cathedrals in this Diocese during Thy Kingdom Come. The Archbishops have invited us to make this period of time a focus for prayer, particularly praying that people will come to faith and I look 1 HOSPITALITY. FAITHFULNESS. WHOLENESS.

  • Stained Glass Research School, Phd Symposium the Genesis of a Window
    Stained Glass Research School, PhD Symposium The Genesis of a Window: Methods, Preparations and Problems of Stained Glass Manufacture Thursday 26th - Friday 27th May 2016 From the early medieval period stained glass design and manufacture has evolved and reacted to changing tastes, styles and technological advances. The conception and creation of stained glass windows are influenced by factors as diverse as their architectural settings, pictorial and textual sources, and the interests and politics of patrons and custodians. This year’s Stained Glass Research School PhD Symposium will open on Thursday 26th May with a keynote paper given by Dr. Rachel Koopmans, York University, Toronto, on a thirteenth-century miracle window at Canterbury Cathedral. This will be followed by postgraduate papers on stained glass from a range of periods. On Friday 27th May, a coach tour will visit stained glass ranging in date from the medieval to the modern, at Ripon Cathedral and the parish churches at Kirby Wiske, Kirklington, East Rounton and Nun Monkton.

    From The Chairman, c/o The Workhouse Museum Allhallowgate, Ripon, HG4 1LE [email protected] www.riponcivicsociety.org.uk The Very Reverend the Dean of Ripon Ripon Cathedral Offices Liberty Courthouse Minster Road Ripon North Yorkshire HG4 1QS 5th March 2021 Dear Dean Ripon Cathedral Renewed The Society welcomes the enthusiasm and commitment of Chapter in pursuing a sustainable future for the Cathedral. Furthermore, the Society understands and appreciates the dilemmas facing Chapter created by the need to balance spiritual, operational, heritage and visitor demands upon the building and its setting. An exhibition of proposals was presented in the Cathedral during the summer and autumn of 2020. Ripon Civic Society members were encouraged to visit the exhibition and share their thoughts and comments. For this reason the RCS Committee had chosen not to present a ‘Society’ view of the proposals. On reflection, as Chapter may be close to submitting applications, it is now thought time for the Society to comment on the proposals as then known. It is recognised that there are several regulatory frameworks that the Cathedral will need to satisfy. The Society will be a consultee, but not a leading party in decision making. It is understood that the Cathedrals Fabric Commission for England and Historic England are closely involved in the development of the proposals. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to respond to a set of questions. The Society’s comments will follow these questions as appropriate. Question 1 asks if the exhibition helped understanding of the reasons for the proposed extension. We appreciate the extensive period during which the exhibition was on display.
