The first building was probably a small wooden one started. It covered a wide area, taking in the thirteen townships of to be replaced by a stone one sometime around 1200. It has undergone Allerton, Bowling, Bradford, Clayton, Eccleshill, Haworth (which many changes since then. Scots raiders burnt its roof in the 14th century, included Oxenhope and Stanbury), Heaton, Horton, Manningham, in 1643 it was the centre of fighting between Royalist and Roundhead North Bierley (which included Low Moor and Wibsey), Shipley, armies, with the Tower protected by bags of wool. There were Thornton (which included Denholme) and Wilsden. Chapels of Ease significant alterations in the 1890’s and again, after the Parish Church were established at Haworth in the fifteenth century, at Thornton and of St Peter became Bradford Cathedral. Wibsey in the early sixteenth century, and at Great Horton in 1806; there was also a private chapel built at Bierley in 1766. From the early For a detailed history of the church, see the Cathedral’s own nineteenth century onwards many churches were built and new website: www.bradfordcathedral.org/ ecclesiastical parishes created. Consequently there is a wide variety of memorials commemorating both people and events. Bolton, Idle and Tyersall (Calverley parish), Tong and Wyke (Birstall parish) and Esholt (Otley parish) were never part of the Parish of Bradford. Surrounding Ancient Parishes are Calverley, Guiseley, Otley, Bingley, Halifax and Birstall. The Diocese Originally in the Diocese of York, it became part of the Diocese of Ripon when that was created in 1836 and then in 1919 it became the Cathedral Church for the Diocese of Bradford. Later, in 2014, the three dioceses of Ripon and Leeds, Bradford and Wakefield were dissolved and a new diocese was formed, officially called the Diocese of Leeds, but known as the Diocese of West Yorkshire and the Dales. The new diocese consists of five episcopal areas, Leeds, Ripon, Wakefield, Bradford and Huddersfield and has three cathedrals, Bradford, Ripon and Wakefield.

Part 1: Transcriptions of monumental inscriptions and of commemorations on points of interest. This is being facilitated by members of the Cathedral staff who have listed them and also photographed many of them. Many inscriptions are either out-of-sight due to building adaptations, or else so high in the Tower that they cannot be read any other way. The results of this have become this fully illustrated, fully searchable pdf free download. Part 2: Using these transcriptions as a base, members of Bradford Historical and Antiquarian Society are researching and producing obituaries of the people commemorated. These will be published by that Society on their website www.bradfordhistorical.org.uk and/or in their journal, The Antiquary, from time to time. Part 3: Staff at the Cathedral will use the results of parts 1 and 2 of the project as source material in their work at the Cathedral. www.bradfordcathedral.org Identification of areas and memorial inscriptions Each area of the Cathedral has been named and allocated a letter designation. These, together with the monument number within those areas, will be used for cross-referencing with later developments within the project. Memorials outside the Cathedral Co-incidentally, Part 1 of this project also acts as a supplement to an earlier project by Bradford Family History Society in which the monumental inscriptions on the remaining gravestones in the Churchyard were recorded. These are produced in booklet form, for ease of use whilst wandering about the graves. It can be obtained from the Cathedral bookshop, at Society meetings, via our website or from: http://www.genfair.co.uk/supplier.php?sid=12 who also sell a Download version. 5 The Cathedral Church of St Peter, Bradford Monuments & Memorial Inscriptions within the building Acknowledgements Thank you: • To all who have worked on this project, particularly Gillian Davis of the Cathedral who worked on the building plan, listed the memorials, photographed many of them and became pivotal to the whole project. • Astrid Hansen, the Honorary Cathedral Archivist who has been so supportive and made her expertise available. • The help and cooperation given by other groups to us. • Arthur Blackburn who made recordings over 80 years ago of things which are no longer extant. He also quoted from earlier workers about recordings that we now know little as they are no longer extant. N.B. he worked alone and in difficult circumstances. His work was never independently checked. We know there are some errors but his work is very valuable. His work is given, verbatim, here. Photographs Mostly taken by members of the cathedral staff. Thanks to those who used ladders, scaffolding etc. to create the images of monuments which were otherwise inaccessible and would have been unrecorded. Conventions used in the transcriptions The recordings are, as near as practical, identical with both the spelling and layout of the originals. A transcriber’s note indicates any problems in deciphering anything. Square brackets [ ] have been used to indicate this and any other notes by the transcriber. Changes to upper & lower case text have been made to facilitate ease of scanning. Translations are given in a different font: calibri.

    Friends of Bradford Cathedral Newsletter Spring 2016 Letter from the Chairman Dear Friends As I write this, the England cricket team is in the ascendancy at Headingley and the sun is shining! Long may it continue. First: an apology. It seems that some of you who receive your mailings through the post have fallen off the list. (I realise you may not be reading this if that’s the case ….!) If you know of someone in this predicament, do please contact me as soon as possible. Can I take this opportunity to encourage you to help the Friends by using email as your preferred means of receiving information? The cost of sending out 60+ lots of paperwork by post is becoming a real worry, as I’m sure you understand. The cost of postage, paper, labels and envelopes is not insignificant; in addition, it takes quite a time to print and collate the papers, put them in the envelopes and get the labels on. I can guarantee that we will not divulge any information we hold: it will be completely safe. To those of you who allow us to use email, our heartfelt thanks. If you are able to switch to email, do please contact me – thank you. You will have read in the AGM literature of the projects the Friends have supported during the year. Please come and pay us a visit – both the Close and the Cathedral are looking particularly fine, especially now that this phase of the outside work has been completed. In addition, as we await the appointment of a Canon Precentor, our hard- pressed Cathedral staff will appreciate your support and your prayers.

  • Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle
    THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sarah Michelle Haughey August 2011 © 2011 Sarah Michelle Haughey THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE Sarah Michelle Haughey, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation, The ‘Bestli’ Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle English Literature explores the reasons for the survival of the beast-like outlaw, a transgressive figure who highlights tensions in normative definitions of human and natural, which came to represent both the fears and the desires of a people in a state of constant negotiation with the land they inhabited. Although the outlaw’s shelter in the wilderness changed dramatically from the dense and menacing forests of Anglo-Saxon England to the bright, known, and mapped greenwood of the late outlaw romances and ballads, the outlaw remained strongly animalistic, other, and liminal, in strong contrast to premodern notions of what it meant to be human and civilized. I argue that outlaw narratives become particularly popular and poignant at moments of national political and ecological crisis—as they did during the Viking attacks of the Anglo-Saxon period, the epoch of intense natural change following the Norman Conquest, and the beginning of the market revolution at the end of the Middle Ages. Figures like the Anglo-Saxon resistance fighter Hereward, the exiled Marcher lord Fulk Fitz Waryn, and the brutal yet courtly Gamelyn and Robin Hood, represent a lost England imagined as pristine and forested.

The Production Team – Bob Cater and Anne Deebank – hope you find something of interest in this first, bumper Edition. As this is the first edition we would also be interested in your views – have we got the content right? Have you any suggestions for articles? Are you reading this in a tower which isn’t your own and you haven’t got one at your home tower? Let us know! The next edition will come out in the Spring, immediately after the AGM on 5 May. Please let either of us have copy by 15 April 2007. Bob Cater [email protected] Anne Deebank [email protected] President’s Message I am writing this newsletter introduction after spending an enjoyable day listening to two excellent peals rung at two of West Yorkshire’s best light sixes. (Clue 1 – both towers begin with an S. Clue 2 – I could have walked from one tower to the other along the Leeds-Liverpool canal.) Whilst listening to the ringing I got to thinking about why people ring bells and why they might attend Association events at both branch and full association level. When I was younger I attended Association meetings to have the opportunity to ring on new and different bells (and to get a tick in Dove!) and also to ring new and different methods that I did not have the chance to ring on a normal practice night.

Rozanne Elder, Ph.D. DEADLY HOSTILITY: FEUD, VIOLENCE, AND POWER IN EARLY ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND David DiTucci, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2017 This dissertation examines the existence and political relevance of feud in Anglo-Saxon England from the fifth century migration to the opening of the Viking Age in 793. The central argument is that feud was a method that Anglo-Saxons used to understand and settle conflict, and that it was a tool kings used to enhance their power. The first part of this study examines the use of fæhð in Old English documents, including laws and Beowulf, to demonstrate that fæhð referred to feuds between parties marked by reciprocal acts of retaliation.

  • Bradford Cathedral's Dean Jerry Lepine Is Setting Out
    Date: 29th May 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS RELEASE BRADFORD CATHEDRAL’S DEAN JERRY LEPINE IS SETTING OUT ON A PILGRIMAGE OF PRAYER TO SISTER CATHEDRALS IN WAKEFIELD AND RIPON. The Very Revd. Jerry Lepine, Dean of Bradford, will be marking this year’s ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ by visiting and praying at the three Cathedrals in the Diocese of Leeds as part of Bradford Cathedral’s Centenary celebrations. Dean Jerry will be visiting and praying at Wakefield Cathedral on Thursday 30th May, Bradford Cathedral on Monday 3rd June and Ripon Cathedral on Wednesday 5th June, at 3pm on each day. Dean Jerry is also inviting people from the Diocese of Leeds to come and join him during this pilgrimage of prayer. 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. The Archbishops have invited us to make this period of time a focus for prayer, particularly praying that people will come to faith and I look 1 HOSPITALITY. FAITHFULNESS. WHOLENESS.
