  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION. THIS present volume, though bearing upon it the names of two bishops of English dioceses, Exeter and London, is rather secular than ecclesiastical in its character. As connected with the history of our Church and country it belongs to the first decade of the fourteenth century, 1300-1310, but it tells us little of what those prelates thought or did ; it is the account rendered by the executors of their wills of the wealth which they possessed, the sources from which it was derived, and the disposition which they made of it when they died. The two bishops are Thomas de Button, Bishop of Exeter, and Kichard de Gravesend, Bishop of London. How far they were contemporary in age does not appear. The Bishop of London was the senior Bishop, having been consecrated in 1280, the Bishop of Exeter in 1292. The Bishop of London held his see twenty-three years, dying in December, 1303. The Bishop of Exeter held his see only fifteen years, dying in 1307. The executors' account of Bishop Button had been already printed when the Council of the Camden Society consented to add to it the account of the executors of Bishop Gravesend, which otherwise would have occupied the first place in the volume. What is known of these bishops may be comprised in the fol- lowing brief memoirs:— The late Dean Milman, in his Annals of St. Paul's, has sketched the history of the time in which Richard de Gravesend lived, and drawn from his will, and the proceedings of his executors, some account of his character.

  • Bishop Robert 17 March 2020
    Received today from Bishop Robert address to Clergy and Churchwardens You will all have seen or heard yesterday’s announcements of the Government in relation to the Coronavirus pandemic. We are entering a very challenging time in the life our nation. This is unchartered territory for all of us and we need to stay in touch with one another and support one another to the best of our ability. I am conscious of the additional strain that will be placed upon you in the coming weeks, as you endeavour to care for your congregations and local communities. Thank you for all you are doing. Be assured of my prayers for you and your people. Attached to this email you will find the joint letter that the Archbishops of Canterbury and York have issued today. Public services are suspended, but this does not mean that ‘the Church of England has shut up shop’. In fact, it is precisely at this time of national crisis that as Christians we need to reach out to our neighbours in their need. Within the constraints set out by the Government, we need to find new ways of serving our communities, new ways of being Church. Our church buildings are one of the glories of Devon. Although we cannot hold public services for the time being, they need to remain open. Indeed, we anticipate that people will want to use them, to light a candle, to pray for loved ones. The Cathedral will be open without charge from 10am to 4pm every day. People are free to meet to pray inside our churches, provided they observe public health guidelines: https://www.churchofengland.org/more/media- centre/news/archbishops-call-church-england-become-radically- different-public-worship I know you have many questions about church life, funerals, baptisms, weddings, meetings and small groups.

  • Choral Evensong with the the Installation of the Revd Rosie Austin the Revd James Grier and the Revd Deborah Parsons As Prebendaries
    Choral Evensong with the The Installation of The Revd Rosie Austin The Revd James Grier and The Revd Deborah Parsons as Prebendaries Sunday 11 October 2020 4pm The Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Robert Bishop of Exeter Welcome to the Cathedral We at Exeter Cathedral are delighted to host this service of installation for Rosie Austin, James Grier and Deborah Parsons. We welcome them and their families. As members of the College of Canons, they will contribute to the life of the Cathedral and its governance, and promote the mission and service of the Church in the Diocese. As members of the College of Canons, they receive the Cathedral’s annual report and accounts, discuss matters concerning the Cathedral, and give advice or counsel as requested by the Bishop or Chapter. The Cathedral Church of St. Peter in Exeter, founded in 1050, has been the seat (cathedra) of the bishop of Exeter, the symbol of his spiritual and teaching authority, for nearly 1000 years. As such the Cathedral is a centre of worship and mission for the whole of Devon. A centuries-old pattern of daily worship continues, sustained by the best of the Anglican choral tradition. The cathedral is a place of outreach, learning, and spirituality, inviting people into a richer and more engaged discipleship. The Cathedral is a destination for many pilgrims and visitors who come from near and far, drawn by the physical and spiritual heritage of this place. Exeter Cathedral belongs to all the people of Devon, and we warmly welcome you here. COVID-19: Infection Control Face Coverings in the cathedral As of 8 August 2020, wearing face coverings in places of worship is now mandatory.

  • Cathedral News
    Cathedral News August 2019 – No. 688 From: The Dean We’ve recently gone through the process of Peer Review. After the Chapter had completed a lengthy self-evaluation questionnaire on matters of governance and finance and so on, three reviewers came from other cathedrals to mark our homework. Or rather, to bring an external perspective to bear, and help us refine our thinking about where we are heading as a cathedral. In spite of our natural wariness in advance, only to be expected given the amount of external scrutiny the cathedral has undergone in recent years, it was an encouraging experience. More of that, however, in a future Cathedral News. For now, I want to pick up on a comment made by all three reviewers. They came to us from Liverpool, Winchester, and Ely, and all expressed delight, and surprise, at the splendour of our cathedral: “We had no idea what a marvellous building it is!” For me, their observations provoked two questions... Is it because we all take the building for granted? Or is it because we’ve failed to tell our story effectively? I suspect there is truth behind both these questions. We all know how ‘distance lends enchantment to the view’; and the converse is also clearly true. It is not that familiarity necessarily breeds contempt, but you cannot live in a perpetual state of wonderment. Sir Simon Jenkins, the author of all those books on beautiful houses and railway stations and churches and cathedrals, told of his visit to Exeter: “I came into the cathedral and sat in silence for half an hour, overwhelmed by the beauty of the place.” I have the benefit of being in the cathedral every day, and will often speak of how our vaulted ceiling lifts my heart daily to heaven.

  • Liturgy As History: the Origins of the Exeter Martyrology
    ORE Open Research Exeter TITLE Liturgy as history: the origins of the Exeter martyrology AUTHORS Hamilton, S JOURNAL Traditio: Studies in Ancient and Medieval History, Thought, and Religion DEPOSITED IN ORE 01 November 2019 This version available at http://hdl.handle.net/10871/39448 COPYRIGHT AND REUSE Open Research Exeter makes this work available in accordance with publisher policies. A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication 1 Liturgy as History: The Origins of the Exeter Martyrology Sarah Hamilton, University of Exeter Abstract Through an Anglo-Norman case study, this article highlights the value of normative liturgical material for scholars interested in the role which saints’ cults played in the history and identity of religious communities. The records of Anglo-Saxon cults are largely the work of Anglo-Norman monks. Historians exploring why this was the case have therefore concentrated upon hagiographical texts about individual Anglo-Saxon saints composed in and for monastic communities in the post-Conquest period. This article shifts the focus away from the monastic to those secular clerical communities which did not commission specific accounts, and away from individual cults, to uncover the potential of historical martyrologies for showing how such secular communities remembered and understood their own past through the cult of saints. Exeter Cathedral Library, Ms 3518, is a copy of the martyrology by the ninth-century Frankish monk, Usuard of Saint-Germain-des-Prés , written in and for Exeter cathedral’s canons in the mid-twelfth century.

  • A Sermon Preached by Rt Revd Dr Michael Langrish at a United Benefice Eucharist for the Parishes of Ticehurst and Flimwell Trinity Sunday : 22 May 2016
    A Sermon preached by Rt Revd Dr Michael Langrish at a United Benefice Eucharist for the Parishes of Ticehurst and Flimwell Trinity Sunday : 22 May 2016 NOT STRANGERS BUT PILGRIMS TOGETHER ON THE WAY It really is good to be here with you for this United Benefice Visit today. I have looked forward to it for a very long time – almost a year in fact. It all began last June when I led a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, and was then asked to write a short piece about pilgrimage for the Diocesan News. That in turn led to me getting a letter from your then parish priest, Tim Mills, asking me to come here and talk about pilgrimage and journeying with you. ‘The whole theme of pilgrimage’ he wrote ‘is so relevant to us here in Flimwell and Ticehurst as we try to deepen our faith and stir up our gospel calling.’ The reality, of course, is that the theme of pilgrimage and journeying is relevant not just to your two parishes here, but to every parish in the Church of England, and indeed to every single Christian community worldwide. Because this sense of travelling, of moving forward, is absolutely central to the whole of the Christian life. It is to this that in our baptism we have been called. ‘I am the way,’ said Jesus ‘I am the truth and I am the life, follow me.’ And so the name given to the very first Christians was simply this: ‘Followers of the Way’ This whole idea of journeying, then - or more specifically – of making a pilgrimage has, for Christians, always been a very powerful one - one that seems to have captured people's minds in so many different times and places all the way down through the centuries.

The music was Schubert Mass in G and Elgar’s Ave Verum. Jonathan Titchin read the Epistle and our Chairman Reverend Charles Roberts provided the Intercessions.

  • 2018-May-Cathedral-News.Pdf
    Cathedral News May 2018 – No. 673 From the Canon Precentor As I write, a month has passed since my Installation on Palm Sunday. What a month it has been! In the Cathedral, we journeyed through Holy Week to flames and feasting on Easter morning, and we continue our journey towards Pentecost on the 20th May. Personally, I have been reacquainting myself with Exeter and its Cathedral, having moved from the City and Close some twenty years ago. The streets of the city and the stones of the Cathedral are familiar. But the whole institution of the Cathedral and its people are largely new to me. What has been constant is the warm and enthusiastic welcome I have received from the whole Cathedral Community, for which I am very grateful. I am also grateful for the tremendous work Bishop Martin Shaw did, as Acting Precentor, to make my transition into this role so seamless, straightforward and joyful. As Precentor, I have a particular interest and responsibility for the worship and music of this cathedral church, and I feel greatly privileged to be ministering in such a glorious place alongside such capable and sensitive clergy, and with such excellent and talented musicians. Of course in some sense, to refer to “worship and music” is a tautology because, for Christians, the two are inseparable. Christians sing: it is what we do. It is what we have always done since the very earliest days of the Church, thanks to its origins in the worship of synagogues and the Temple. From that tradition, cathedrals and collegiate churches were established with large corps of musicians to lead daily worship based upon the recitation of psalms.
