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.

First up is Diana, Head of Education, reading ‘The Three Kings’ by Peter Cornelius.

If you miss one, don't worry, all videos will be posted to https://www.southwellminster.org/christmas-videos/

If you've enjoyed our 140 exhibition please also consider making a donation of what you can, to keep this heritage preserved for another 140 years!

Our penultimate #Southwell140 object is the
STEWARDS’ CHOICE:
THE FLIGHT TO EGYPT
We asked our Stewards to tell us their favourites from a Minster filled with treasures. 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. You can find them in their blue gowns.

CANON’S CHOICE:
THE KELHAM MADONNA
This beautiful wooden sculpture of the Madonna and Child was crafted in 1952 by Alan Coleman. It was gifted to the Minster in 1974.

“This unusual image of Mary and Jesus reminds me of the Minster’s dedication to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and of our links to the story of Christianity in Nottinghamshire. I often stop here to pray on my way into or out of the Cathedral.” - Canon Precentor, The Revd Dr Richard Frith

The Needlework Guild bring the Minster to life with their beautiful, handcrafted textiles.

Embroidery has been a key part of Christian worship since the early church. By the 12th century, when the Minster was built, embroidered vestments and church furnishings were as important as its stonework, stained glass and woodwork.
