CANDLE CHAPEL🕯️
Through the ages, candles have beautified and illuminated places of worship.
This is a former chantry chapel now offers visitors a sanctuary of peace to reflect and contemplate. 'Light Of The World’ by Peter Eugene Ball is displayed here.

“I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
John 8:12

Visit us, light a candle to pray, remember, celebrate.

DONKEY CARVING
But look close up, what is going on with its poor neck?? This donkey either has a very flexible neck or one of the masons made a mistake!! We all make mistakes and can learn from them - we doubt this stone mason made the same error again! The stone carving is situated on the right-hand side of the Sanctuary, a sacred area within a church, often containing the altar.

Visit us and see our exhibition for yourself - everyone is welcome!

April's #Southwell140 Exhibition theme is: MEDIEV

April's #Southwell140 Exhibition theme is:
MEDIEVAL LIFE: PEOPLE & PLACE

Today's #Southwell140 exhibit is a MEMORIAL to one of those people from this place; William Talbot. This is the oldest memorial in the Minster. Written in Latin, it tells the sorry tale of William Talbot.

" Here lies William Talbot
wretched and unworthy priest
awaiting the resurrection of the dead
under the sign of the Tau "

Why William Talbot has been memorialised like this remains a mystery. Tau is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet and resembles the cross and is representative of salvation. It’s believed that St. Francis of Assisi wore a Tau amulet to protect against plague and disease. ✝

Visit us and see the exhibition up close - everyone is welcome!
Entry is free. Donations welcome. https://southwellminster.org/140objects/

Our final #Southwell140 object this week is this

Our final #Southwell140 object this week is this
LEATHER DRINKING HORN

This leather drinking horn is held by the Minster Library.
It would have been used for beer or ale. It is similar to the type of drinking vessels used in the medieval period. We affectionally refer to this as #RobinHood’s Drinking Horn 🍺🏹

Sherwood Forest was a vast area in the medieval period which would have stretched to the Minster. It was a hunting ground for the King. People also lived in towns and villages within the forest. There are carvings of Green Men in the Chapter House. It has been said that these may be an interpretation of what Robin Hood might have looked like.

Who guessed it? Tuesday's unusual object is a BOOK CLASP. It holds the covers of a book tightly together. Come and visit us to see it close up and also take a look at today's #Southwell140 exhibit 👀

ARROWHEAD
A piece of essential medieval equipment for anyone living during this time. It was found on Higgons Mead, near the Minster. Arrows were used in warfare, hunting, and sport. This arrow would have been used for hunting wild fowl. We can't be sure that it wasn't owned by a legendary heroic outlaw... 🏹

This month make sure to look out for object 3/14 for April - this very handsome MEDIEVAL KING FIGURINE. Made of lead, it was used in processions and is inspired by a poem telling the cautionary tale of the ‘Three Dead Kings’.

PRIORY GRANT
A letter from Henry VI granting a priory to the Minster in times of financial woe.
Look closely and you can see the royal seal.

~‘Scarcely forty of them can be provided for and unless help is given some of them will have to leave’~
An example of an Alien Priory House is Pamber Priory in Hampshire. Alien priories were under the control of another religious house outside England. West Ravendale Priory belonged to Beaufort Abbey in Brittany, France.

We still need money today. It costs £3000 per day to stay open and free to access.
