Pepperpots NEWSLETTER of the FRIENDS of SOUTHWELL CATHEDRAL
PEPPERPOTS NEWSLETTER OF THE FRIENDS OF SOUTHWELL CATHEDRAL Within a matter of weeks the Friends of Southwell Cathedral discovered that they were losing both their President and the Chairman of the Council. We shall greatly miss the involvement of the Rt Revd Paul Butler who in his short time in office has been an engaged and hospitable President. We are nonetheless delighted that his talents have been recognised by his appointment to succeed Archbishop Justin Welby as Bishop of Durham, one of the five senior sees in No 38 the Church of England with an Autumn 2013 automatic seat in the House of Lords. We wish both him and Rosemary a rewarding time in the next few years following ISSN 1466-0482 their departure from Bishop’s Manor in November. Photograph by Peter Butcher inside farewells Pepperpots farewells This announcement was rapidly followed by the news of the Brian Whitehouse 2 retirement of the Very Revd John Guille after seven years as Dean’s Column 3 Dean. More will be said in the next issue of Pepperpots, but Friends’ Festival between now and May 2014 2013 4,9 there is ample time to reflect on the wide-ranging and List of Friends 5/7 effective contribution which both he and Sue have made in Southwell, not least their Steeplepeople 9 commitment to all aspects of the Friends’ work.

Dear Friends, for Today's Update, Richard Brand, Archdeacon Of
Dear Friends, For today’s update, Richard Brand, Archdeacon of Winchester, has shared a reflection about the importance of self care as we approach Holy Week: One recent request I received was to fill in a questionnaire about clergy morale in the current crisis. Having spoken and listened to far more clergy than usual over the past few weeks I felt in a reasonable position to respond, and my basic response was that clergy morale was high, in fact, really very high. It has been immensely encouraging and often inspiring to hear of the creativity, ingenuity and sheer dedication with which clergy have adapted to a rapidly changing situation and adopted often unfamiliar ways and means of continuing their ministry. However, I wonder what the real effect of this adaption and adoption is? One person I spoke to said how ‘energised’ they felt by the new skills they were learning and by the community networks they were establishing; in the next phone call the person had been doing similar things but this time I heard a confession of exhaustion. Clearly different personalities are responding in different ways; another person in one breath said how as an introvert they certainly weren’t missing the tyranny of meetings but in the next added that they were finding the constant phone calls draining. Talking with colleagues we are finding that as clergy step up and respond with great faithfulness to our calling in these days, the suspension of so many of the familiar patterns is leading for some to suspending some of the usual time off and down time we all need. -

Dear Friends, As We Approach the Coming Weekend, We Are Once
Dear Friends, As we approach the coming weekend, we are once again facing a Sunday without being able to physically join our local communities. Whilst we know that the Church is not just a series of (now closed) buildings, it is difficult to not be able to pray and participate in services in one place. However, we have been heartened by the work being done by so many of you to create ways of enabling Christian communities to meet online – whether through celebrating services on Zoom, holding pastoral Skype calls or creating social media prayer resources. Thank you for helping your communities to find ways of encountering God’s love at this most difficult of times. Today, the Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of England have written to all clergy to offer some suggestions for ways in which we can continue to minister to our communities (paying attention to those with access to the internet, as well as those who do not) at the present time. You can read the letter here and we hope you will find it useful. Ahead of this weekend, Bishop Tim and his wife Sally have recorded a communion service, which you will be able to view on our Diocesan YouTube channel from Sunday morning. Please do share the link so that we can still join together as one Diocese in prayer even though we cannot see each other in person. In addition, Winchester Cathedral is hosting a daily video reflection and prayer, which you can access here . Each day you will find a new prayer and reflection from members of the Cathedral community, which we hope you will find helps to provide some spiritual nourishment over the coming days and weeks. -
Brief History of Great Screen
A Brief History of The Great Screen of Winchester Cathedral by Jeannie Berridge Jeannie Berridge is a voluntary guide in Winchester Cathedral. Early in 2018, the Great Screen in Winchester Cathedral was thoroughly cleaned. The work was carried out by McNeilage Conservation, a husband and wife team based near Exeter; the effect has been dramatic as the screen had not been cleaned since the restoration of the late 19th century, and in places it was covered with a layer of dust half an inch thick. Before and after pictures are shown for the statue of William Waynflete in Figure 1. Fig 1.1 William Waynflete before cleaning Fig 1.2 William Waynflete after cleaning Photos: Simon Newman The Great Screen was probably planned during the episcopate of Cardinal Beaufort (1405-1447) but completed during the time Bishop William Waynflete was Bishop of Winchester (1447-1486). In many respects, the story of the Great Screen is mirrored in the wider history of Winchester Cathedral, starting with the great wealth and power of the medieval bishops, through to the destruction inflicted during the Reformation, and followed by years of neglect. Once religious images became widely accepted in the Church of England in the Victorian period, the screen was restored to something approaching its original form with new statues being commissioned to fill the empty niches. The Reverend David Warner, a former Winchester Cathedral guide wrote: “The wealth of Beaufort contributed to its splendour and the influence of Bishop Waynflete is evident in the moulding and decoration”. [1] This ambitious reredos was part of a wider design for the east end incorporating two further inter-related projects: a new shrine for St Swithun, and Cardinal Beaufort’s chantry chapel. -
