As of today it is a legal requirement to wear a face covering in places of worship, so please bring one with you, whether you come to a service or to visit, unless you have a valid medical reason not to wear one. Thank you.

This weekend is the last of the choir year. We had anticipated inviting former choristers to sing Evensong with us on the Saturday, and today would have seen the valediction of a number of current choristers followed by the annual choir barbecue. We are sorry that neither of these events could take place, and are thinking of all Minster musicians past, current, and those to begin their time with us in September. We look forward to seeing former choristers, and to saying a proper farewell to this year's leavers, at another point.

If you missed it on Sunday morning, have a listen

If you missed it on Sunday morning, have a listen to our Rector Chori, Paul Provost, speaking to Frances Finn on BBC Radio Nottingham about what the Cathedral choristers have been up to during lockdown and why singing remains so important to our worship. (From 1:47:45) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08jflf2

God is gone up with a merry noise! Tomorrow we celebrate #AscensionDay, where Jesus was taken up to heaven forty days after Easter.

We usually mark this feast with an early-morning trip up the tower, with glorious views over Southwell. This year, join us for online worship instead: Holy Communion, led by the Dean, will be available on our website from 7.30am; and Compline with the Canon Precentor from 7.30pm. https://www.southwellminster.org/theme/worship-online/

Did you know that our library has a book that displays part of the trial of Mary, Queen of Scots? You can currently see it in the Chapter House passage as part of a display centred around the tragic queen #FridayFact

The collection shown includes an 18th century book on the History of Scotland and various volumes published in Mary’s lifetime, including a 1586 edition of Vitruvius' book on architecture and the works of Xenophon.

The display is showing until Friday 28 Feb, when it will be replaced with early 20th century pictures of the Chapter House.

The semiquaver chugging of the train on the track
And the people on board who will never go back
And the terror in the eyes of all the young ones to go
With no one knowing as the train comes to slow

Those men at the station as the ramps drop down
Where humanity lost is the only crippled sound
Hope gone for those who stand behind the hard sharp wire
And the smoke in the towers rises just a little higher

And the blue ink stabs a little harder in the skin
Above the veins of despair where murder let it in
And the terror in the eyes of all those about to leave
Another train on the track no last minute reprieve

And the slow, crot...chet chugging of the train on the track;
And the people on board. Who will ne...ver go.

Back.
