These beautiful, bespoke rose vestments were worn These beautiful, bespoke rose vestments were worn for the first time at yesterday’s Cathedral Eucharist. Rose (pink) vestments are traditionally worn on the third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday) and the fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare or Mothering Sunday), symbolising hope and expectation. The vestments were created by members of the Minster’s Needlework Guild and designed by their Tutor, Emma Frith. The designs bring together motifs associated with the Minster’s history and with the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Patron.
This week, we are releasing a series of short Chri This week, we are releasing a series of short Christmas videos featuring a daily message from the Dean, while members of the Minster community read texts of their favourite Christmas poems and carols.

The Flight to Egypt was very popular but there are many more. “A beautifully carved piece showing influences of the Arts & Crafts Movement. Beautiful woods, colours and textures. Mary, Joseph and the baby fleeing for their lives. Superior expressions on the camels’ faces and world-weary donkey. Robert Kiddey lived and worked in Newark. We should make more of him and his work.” Wendy Our Stewards are here to welcome you and answer any questions.

Today’s #Southwell140 object is from the Minster Today’s #Southwell140 object is 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. Donations welcome. #cathedrals #Southwell #Cathedralgram #cathedralgram #churchphotography #church #cathedralsofinstagram #southwell #minster #history #SouthwellMinster #Cathedral #Minster #Southwell140 #southwellminster #verge #vergers
