Summer Organ Festival 2021 SUMMER ORGAN FESTIVAL 2021 Series Programme | £1.00 A very warm welcome to Leicester Cathedral for our 2021 Summer Organ Festival! Our magnificent organ by Harrison and Harrison is one of the things we won’t be able to take with us when we vacate the Cathedral for the forthcoming building works, so we expect this will be the last opportunity to hear the instrument in concert before 2024.

  • 1 Made in Derby 2018 Profile Bess of Hardwick
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Bess of Hardwick Bess of Hardwick has been described as one of the richest women in England during Tudor times and a good friend of Queen Elizabeth I. She also had an obsession with building. This is borne out by the wording on her marble tomb effigy in Derby Cathedral - the parish church of All Saints in Bess’s lifetime - which describes her as the “aedificatrix’ (builder) of Chatsworth, Hardwick and Oldcotes. Both Hardwick Hall – old and new- Chatsworth House – still exist and stand as a testimony to both Bess’s wealth and her building fervour. Althougnothing remains of Oldcotes, which was built for her son William Cavendish. And although she spent much of her life marrying four times, having eight children and building grand houses in the north of the county, she also found opportunity to be in Derby. She had a town house built on the north side of the Market Place. This was a large brick Tudor house, which enabled Bess and her husband, Lord Shrewsbury, to attend functions in Derby and probably later became Newcastle House and large parts of this were not demolished until 1971. Earlier in 1599, Bess decided to found a charity in Derby to the rear of All Saints Church in Full Street. 1 It was called the Shrewsbury Hospital, later to become the Devonshire Hospital but more likely to resemble almshouses, to house eight poor men and four poor women, to be endowed with a rent-charge of £100 per annum. The lucky people were to be chosen from the parishes of All Saints’, St.

  • 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.

  • February 2021 Support for Leicester Cathedral Revealed
    Diocese of Leicester Diocesan Synod – 13th February 2021 Support for Leicester Cathedral Revealed Resolution 1 The Synod agrees to make a grant of £500,000 from the funds of the Leicester Diocesan Board of Finance to the ‘Leicester Cathedral Revealed’ project. Amendment 1 The Synod amends Resolution 1 by substituting ‘The Synod approves the purchase at fair market value by the Leicester Diocesan Board of Finance of one of the clergy houses belonging to Leicester Cathedral.’ The pages which follow set out the case for Synod to support Resolution 1 or Amendment 1. 0. Procedural note 0.1 The DBF trustees agreed to recommend to the Diocesan Synod, but subject to Bishops Leadership Team (BLT) endorsement of the missional priority of the project, “that the Cathedral should be awarded a grant of £500k towards Leicester Cathedral Revealed (LCR). The trustees further agreed that, in the event that it were not possible to award a grant, then the option of buying one of the Cathedral clergy houses and leasing it back should be pursued.” 0.2 Following consideration of this recommendation, there was a clear consensus amongst the members of BLT to endorse the recommendation of the DBF trustees. Accordingly, Synod is presented with Resolution 1, which encapsulates the preference of both the DBF Trustees and the members of BLT. However, Amendment 1 will be moved to enable Synod, should it not feel able to make a grant, to consider the alternative of supporting LCR by purchasing and leasing back one of the Cathedral clergy houses, thereby releasing its cash value for the Cathedral to put towards the costs of LCR.

  • Lichfield Cathedral School STATEMENT of BOARDING PRINCIPLES and PRACTICE
    Lichfield Cathedral School STATEMENT OF BOARDING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE Introduction The School was re-founded in 1942 (as St Chad’s Cathedral School) principally as a boarding school for the choristers of Lichfield Cathedral. However, non-chorister pupils have been admitted from the beginning. Until 1981 the School was owned and governed by the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral. However, since that date it has been a fully independent, coeducational preparatory school, known as Lichfield Cathedral School, until the decision was taken to move into secondary education in 2005. The school opened the Sixth Form in September 2010. Boys and girls are admitted at any time from the age of 3, choosing either to move on to other Schools at age 11, 13 or 16, or remain at the Cathedral School for their secondary education. There are presently 460 children in the School aged 3 – 18. School Mission Statement Lichfield Cathedral School is committed to creating and maintaining an educational environment which nurtures, nourishes and stimulates young minds and talents; where children may gain a thorough academic foundation; and where daily life is conducted according to Christian values and the experience of Christian worship. The School is determined to provide a secure and ordered framework within which children and young people may grow in self-esteem and confidence, discover the riches of successful participation and achievement, and develop a spirit of generosity and service to the wider community. Boarding at Lichfield Lichfield Cathedral School currently provides a maximum of 24 boarding places for boys aged 8 – 13 accommodated within the Grade 1 listed building known as The Palace in the Cathedral Close.

The Dean writes: I am delighted to announce that Chelmsford Cathedral is re-opening for personal prayer and reflection on 4th July. The Cathedral will then be open daily from 11 am to 3 pm. This is a great moment, and it is important to stress that is just a first step. Public worship will not resume for some time to come, but it has been wonderful to welcome so many joining us on-line for the daily prayer. That will continue to be streamed live on Facebook at 7.45 am and 5.15 pm every day, with the Eucharist streamed on Sundays at 10.30 am. From 4th July the interior of the Cathedral will be laid out in a different way. This is to comply fully with guidance from the Government and from the Church of England. We are determined to ensure that everyone who visits the Cathedral can do so in full confidence that it is a safe and secure environment. A one-way system will be in operation through the Cathedral, with everyone entering through the South Door and leaving through the North Door. There will be handwash at the door which everyone must use, and certain areas will not accessible, including the vestry block.
