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?🔎

Our first #Southwell140 object this week is
a book from our Historic Library
MATHESIS 📖💫🔭
By Julius Firmicus Maternus, a Roman Latin writer and astrologer. This book was found on Archbishop Gerard of York when he died in 1108 in the Minster Grounds. He was facinated by the stars and planets. The church refused to bury him at York Minster claiming the book was heretical. This is a copy of the first known non-religious book with connections to the Minster.

Southwell Minster is delighted to announce the new

Southwell Minster is delighted to announce the new interim Dean of Southwell. The Revd Canon Dr Neil Evans joins us for a handover throughout October before being installed at a Service of Evensong on 4th November.

Neil says, “I am delighted to have been invited to be Interim Dean at Southwell Minster. Debbie and I have been worshipping at the Minster since our arrival in Nottinghamshire, following my retirement from St Paul’s in the summer, and we had already fallen in love with it! I am very excited by the prospect of assisting with the mission and ministry of the Minster and getting to know the Cathedral community.”

We hope you will join us in welcoming Neil to Southwell

MILLENNIUM PILGRIM ✨
The sculpture carved by Rory Young, was commissioned by the Friends of Southwell Cathedral and installed in 2001. It depicts a man stepping into the new millennium and a new future. His shroud symbolises his past which he is leaving behind. The blue mark, an discolouration in the stone was intentionally kept by the sculpture to show that no-one of us is without imperfection.
