The historical documents are few, and the surviving evidence of the past with regard to our smallest cathedral is scanty at the best. The chief books of reference have been Browne Willis's valuable "Survey of St. Asaph,'' published in 1720, also Edwards' edition of the same published at Wrexham in 1801, and the learned work by the Ven.

  • 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. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • St Asaph SJ 0390 7440
    Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust Historic Settlement Survey – Denbighshire - 2014 St Asaph SJ 0390 7440 105810 Introduction St Asaph lies towards the north coast of Wales, 7.5km south-west of Rhyl and 8.5 km north of Denbigh. The A525, running north/south through the Vale of Clwyd, passes through the settlement, and the A55 east/west trunk road bypasses its northern perimeter. The small town, recently elevated to city status lies on a hill spur between the Rivers Clwyd and Elwy. The cathedral is situated at the top of the hill, and the High Street, running westwards, slopes downwards from it to the bridge over the Elwy. The older part of the settlement is situated on the slopes below the cathedral on the east side of the River Elwy. The town expanded greatly during the 19th and 20th centuries from this small core and housing now extends much further north and south along the hillside and also covers the valley floor west of the river. This brief report examines the emergence and development of St Asaph up to the year 1750. For the more recent history of the settlement, it will be necessary to look at other sources of information and in particular at the origins and nature of the buildings within it. The accompanying map is offered only as an indicative guide to the historic settlement. The continuous line defining the historic core offers a visual interpretation of the area within which the settlement developed, based on our interpretation of the evidence currently to hand. It is not an immutable boundary line, and will require modification as new discoveries are made.
