SOUTHWELL MINSTER
celebrating 140 years as a Cathedral
Come and see a special 10-month exhibition, where we explore over 1,000 years of history in 140 objects. Each month, in the Minster, we will showcase 14 objects from a period in our history, from the Romans to the present day. There is no charge for entry.
As the year progresses, images of all these objects, as well as information about them, will appear in the online gallery below.
Every object will reveal a unique part of the Minster’s story and the history of the Cathedral, Gardens and Palace.
OCTOBER: HERE AND NOW: The Modern Minster
Our Welcome Leaflet below gives information about this month’s objects. Our normal opening times are 8.30am - 6.30pm (Monday-Saturday), and 8am - 4.30pm Sundays.
