Yorkshire on Stage and Wednesday 14 th October Screen Following the paper given at our spring conference Weds 4 th November this year, we have organised a visit to Wortley Top Forge. The history of this water powered iron forge can be traced back to 1640. The site has been used for various processes but is best known for the wrought iron railway axles that were produced between 1840 and c.1910. Following the final abandonment of the site in 1929, various bodies have been involved in securing the site, which now Yorkshire has a long and famous tradition of dramatic forms the heart of an industrial museum. Exhibits at productions, with numerous well known playwrights, Top Forge include the original water wheels and actors and venues. In 2016 we shall see another major water powered drop hammers within the original presentation of the Mystery Plays (below, 2012 forge building that is progressively being restored to production), and the reopening of the Theatre Royal. 1900s condition. All three water wheels can be run subject to conditions. Adjoining buildings house a 1920s machine shop, that is used for most of the restoration work, displays of medium sized and small stationary steam engines and displays of old machine and hand tools . To celebrate this, PLACE is running a short course on Yorkshire Theatre, and as a free taster we are holding an afternoon visit behind the scenes at York University’s Theatre, Film and Television studios, by kind invitation of Dr Gavin Kearney, on Wednesday November 4th at 2pm . Dr Kearney will also explain the University’s involvement with the renovations at the Theatre Royal.

PLACE uses photographs Bedern Hall, York in every newsletter and every publication. We never talk about how to improve our own photographic efforts. All this is about to change! Roger Walton (Bishopthorpe Camera Club) will talk about and demonstrate how to take better photos and because of the time of year, he will focus particularly on taking photos outdoors in winter light and indoors in artificial light. He will show us some of his own pictures on this theme and how they might be enhanced, if he wished to do so. As usual at PLACE events, there will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end. If you wish to bring one of your own photos on the theme of In the Bleak Midwinter , then Roger will certainly be able to make some helpful comments and there might even be a prize for one or more of us….. After the talk, festive food will be in the form of mulled wine, mince pies and Christmas cake with Wensleydale cheese. The evening will end at 9.00pm. Cost: £15.00 per person. REPORTS ON PAST PLACE EVENTS Annual General Meeting and Members’ Day, Wakefield, May 9 th The Orangery, Wakefield, was the splendid venue for this year’s AGM, attended by a record 46 Friends of PLACE. The 2014 Annual Report and Accounts were accepted and Richard Myerscough and George Sheeran were re-elected as Trustees. Veronica Wallace stepped down after many years’ service as a trustee and was warmly thanked by Aileen Bloomer from the chair for all her hard work. She is continuing as our Editor-in-Chief and will also continue to have an input to future planning via the Advisory Committee. The one remaining vacancy was filled by Dr Catherine Neal, an archaeologist from the University of York, who was welcomed to the Board . Unadopted minutes of the meeting will be found on our website . Wakefield Cathedral Inside the Chapel on the bridge In the morning, we had a fascinating talk on the history of Wakefield by Kevin Trickett, the President of Wakefield Civic Society. He led us from prehistoric and Roman Wakefield, through Anglian settlers and Vikings to the present day. Mentioned in Domesday Book (1086), the Manor of Wakefield passed to the Earls Warenne in 1090, who held it until 1347. Two castles were built in the twelfth century, at Lowe Hill and Sandal, either side of the R.

We see this new senior role as vital to building up the capacity and sustainability of the cathedral’s ministry, and even more so as we emerge from some of the most challenging months the nation has known in peacetime for several generations. Wakefield Cathedral is not wealthy. In common with its sister cathedrals, it receives no statutory funding and is dependent on generating its own income to support its work. We are fortunate to receive discretionary funding from the Church Commissioners which covers around 30% of our current annual expenditure; the remainder is drawn from voluntary congregational giving, donations, grant applications, fundraising and income generated from events. The person appointed will undoubtedly need resilience and persistence as well as experience. They will also be joining a team of people fully committed to the flourishing of the cathedral’s ministry at the heart of the city and the wider Diocese of Leeds. I hope that the pack stimulates you to consider applying, and we look forward to hearing from you.

  • REACHING out a Celebration of the Work of the Choir Schools’ Association
    REACHING OUT A celebration of the work of the Choir Schools’ Association The Choir Schools’ Association represents 46 schools attached to cathedrals, churches and college chapels educating some 25,000 children. A further 13 cathedral foundations, who draw their choristers from local schools, hold associate membership. In total CSA members look after nearly 1700 boy and girl choristers. Some schools cater for children up to 13. Others are junior schools attached to senior schools through to 18. Many are Church of England but the Roman Catholic, Scottish and Welsh churches are all represented. Most choir schools are independent but five of the country’s finest maintained schools are CSA members. Being a chorister is a huge commitment for children and parents alike. In exchange for their singing they receive an excellent musical training and first-class academic and all-round education. They acquire self- discipline and a passion for music which stay with them for the rest of their lives.

The original idea was to pull together lots of old photographs and postcards and publish a Topcliffe scrapbook. However, it seemed to me to be also an opportunity to have another look at the history of Topcliffe and try to dig a little further into the knowledge than had been written in other histories. This then is the latest in a line of Topcliffe's histories produced by such people as J. B. Jefferson in his history of Thirsk in 1821, Edmund Bogg in his various histories of the Vale of Mowbray and Mary Watson in her Topcliffe Book in the late 1970s.

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.

  • Wakefield Cathedral: Nave and Quire Roof Repairs (1 of 3 Projects Funded) Awarded £220,000 in November 2014
    Wakefield Cathedral: Nave and Quire Roof Repairs (1 of 3 projects funded) Awarded £220,000 in November 2014 The need The lead roofs of the nave and quire, installed around 1933, were leaking. The 2013 Quinquennial Inspection had highlighted a significant number of splits in the leadwork. Their condition worsened significantly over the winter of 2013-2014. Very cold weather before Christmas meant the leadwork became even more brittle and cracked further. This was then followed by the wettest period of weather over a 6- to 8-week period anybody could remember. The result was significant water penetration through the roof coverings, particularly the nave roof, necessitating buckets to collect drips within the nave, where new Work in progress on the nave roof. Photo credit: Wakefield lighting, floor and redecoration had recently been Cathedral. carried out as part of a £3 million project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Emergency patching works with flashband were undertaken, during which far more splits in the lead were discovered than had been identified only a few months previously. The roof coverings needed urgent replacement if the mediaeval timber ceilings in the quire and roof bosses in the nave were not to be put at immediate risk of damage and loss. The failure of the roof coverings over such a short period of time was assessed as the most significant risk to the Cathedral’s historic fabric at the time of application. Outcomes The mediaeval timber ceilings in the quire and roof bosses in the nave are no longer at risk. Water can no longer penetrate so the new lighting, flooring and decoration are no longer threatened.
