Our first #Southwell140 exhibition object this wee Our first #Southwell140 exhibition object this week is NEEDLEWORK GUILD’S CHOICE: DESIGN PORTFOLIO 🧵 The Needlework Guild bring the Minster to life with their beautiful, handcrafted textiles.

Visit us to learn more and see all 14 exhibits for yourself - everyone is welcome! Entry is free, but if you're enjoying our 140 exhibition please do donate what you can to keep this heritage preserved for another 140 years! www.southwellminster.org/theme/donate/ #cathedrals #Southwell #Cathedralgram #cathedralgram #churchphotography #church #cathedralsofinstagram #southwell #minster #history #SouthwellMinster #Cathedral #Minster #Southwell140 #southwellminster #Bishop #copecase #cope #mitre #Bishops #BishopOfSouthwell #Diocese #embroidery #embroideryguild #embroideryofinstagram #sewing #sewingbee

Today’s #Southwell140 object this from the Minst Today’s #Southwell140 object this from the Minster’s historic library HONORARY LIBRARIAN'S CHOICE: ‘FESTIVALIS’ BY JOHN MIRK📖 This book was given to the Minster by Henry Raper who wrote his name in the book. He was a Vicar Choral here in the 1670's. Recently we had the pleasure of showing it to a direct descendent of his son who emigrated to the Carolina's in the 1680's! “This book is what the Library is all about, a book that was copied and loved over 500 years ago. Written by a Canon and later Abbott, of Lilleshall Abbey, probably in the 1380's, in Middle English, it is a book of sermons to be read on saints or feast days such as Easter or Christmas Day.” - Victoria Arthurson, Honorary Librarian www.southwellminster.org/theme/historic-chapter-library/ #cathedrals #Southwell #Cathedralgram #cathedralgram #churchphotography #church #cathedralsofinstagram #southwell #minster #history #SouthwellMinster #Cathedral #Minster #Southwell140 #southwellminster #heritage #history #localhistory #nottinghamshire #nottingham
Our #Southwell140 object this today is the VERGERS Our #Southwell140 object this today is the VERGERS’ CHOICE: WILLIAM’S VERGE ⚜️ This verge was made by Steve Ottewill of Ottewill Silversmiths and Jewellers and was designed with William and the Minster in mind, with input from his family and the then Head Verger Andrew Todd. As William had been a keen cyclist, the circular design at the head represents a bicycle wheel, the cross in the centre his Christian faith, and the coloured glass the windows of the Minster. Hop leaves are used in decoration both to reflect the carvings in the Chapter House and William’s fondness for an occasional, strictly off-duty, post-Evensong pint. “The verge was commissioned in 2009 as a memorial to my colleague and friend William Vigar, who died very suddenly the year before at the age of 29. As the only Verger in the present team fortunate enough to have known and worked with William l feel a very personal and deep affection for this verge whenever I carry it.” - Michael Tawn, Deputy Head Verger Visit us and see this and the whole of Novembers's exhibition up close! There's something for everyone. Entry is free.

Panufnik created an 18-language chorus of 'leaves' which intersperses George Herbert’s poem ‘Heaven’.

SOUTHWELL MINSTER CHOIR ASSOCIATION’S CHOICE: A SOUTHWELL MINSTER CHOIR ASSOCIATION’S CHOICE: AUCTIONEER’S GAVEL🔨 Auction of Promises In recent years, SMCA came together with other well-wishers to put on a spring and autumn Auction of Promises.

Today’s #Southwell140 exhibition object is DEAN Today’s #Southwell140 exhibition object is DEAN’S CHOICE: CHORISTER CHRISTMAS BOX 🗣 “This beautifully inscribed mahogany collection box belonged to Head Chorister, William Singleton Maltby back in 1827. It reminds us of a different era when the choristers were not paid pocket money but relied on donations from the congregation, distributed on Boxing Day. This treasure was uncovered in a storeroom by chance in 2009.” - The Retiring Dean of Southwell, the Very Revd Nicola Sullivan Visit our free exhibition to learn more and see the objects up close: https://www.southwellminster.org/theme/140th-anniversary/ #cathedrals #Southwell #Cathedralgram #cathedralgram #churchmusic #church #cathedralsofinstagram #southwell #minster #history #SouthwellMinster #Cathedral #Minster #Southwell140 #choir #christmas

Our first #Southwell140 object this week is our HE Our first #Southwell140 object this week is our HEAD GARDENERS’ CHOICE: ‘TREEBECK’🌳 The tree was situated next to one of our buildings called ‘Trebeck’. It was around 140 years old – planted around the same time we became a Cathedral. "Treebeck was the last of his line, standing tall through countless storms – until the fateful night of Sunday 21st January (2024). By Monday morning he lay fallen, finally joining his fellow sycamores who had bowed out before him, one even leaving its mark on a lay clerk's brand-new car. In the end, even the strongest must yield." - Claire Connely, Head Gardener #cathedrals #Southwell #Cathedralgram #cathedralgram #churchphotography #church #cathedralsofinstagram #southwell #minster #history #SouthwellMinster #Cathedral #Minster #Southwell140 #southwellminster #tree #sycamore

Today's #Southwell140 exhibition object is this ve Today's #Southwell140 exhibition object is this very handsome Green Man🍀 he is one of the winning entries in the Green Man craft competition held in 2020. The green man reminds us that we cannot survive without the natural world which surrounds and sustains us. The carvings of the Green Man help us with some of our school visits to the Chapter House, where we see carved examples of God’s creation. The green man, or foliate head, is an architectural motif of a face of, or surrounded by, foliage, which spreads out from the middle of the face. We have a lot of stone carved green men in the Chapter House at the Minster – can you find them all?🔎 #cathedrals #Southwell #Cathedralgram #cathedralgram #churchphotography #church #cathedralsofinstagram #cathedralgardens #southwell #minster #history #SouthwellMinster #Cathedral #Minster #Southwell140 #southwellminster #creation #heavenandnaturesing #greenman
