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.

Our #Southwell140 object this today is... MAUNDY

Our #Southwell140 object this today is...
MAUNDY MONEY 👑💰
For centuries kings and queens participated in Maundy ceremonies, commemorating the Last Supper, washing feet and giving gifts to the poor. By the 1700s, monarchs stopped washing feet and only gave money.
On 19th April 1984, Queen Elizabeth II visited the Minster to distribute Maundy Monday. In the white purse there are special silver Maundy coins which are the same number of pence as the Queen’s age in 1984. In the red purse there is ordinary money. This is a symbol of a gift to the poor.
Visit us and see these, and all 14 objects for yourself - everyone is welcome. Entry is free, but if you're enjoying our 140 exhibition please do donate what you can to keep this heritage preserved for another 140 years! www.southwellminster.org/theme/donate/

ROBERT ‘MOUSEMAN’ THOMPSON’S MICE 🐭
The story goes that in 1919, Thompson was carving a piece of furniture when he joked with a friend about “being as poor as a church mouse.” This friend gave him the idea to carve a tiny mouse on the piece he was working on. He liked it so much that he decided to add a mouse to everything he made after that!

The altar rails and the Bishop’s Seat (Cathedra) were made at Thompson’s Yorkshire studio – can you find his signature mouse?

We have 28 mice at the Minster but they do have a habit of moving! How many can you spot?🔎
