Yesterday we had the wonderful Dr James Wright lead a fascinating workshop on Mediaeval Stonemasons in our historic Chapter House ⚒️

We learned all about the different types of stone masons who may have built the Chapter House and what tools they might have used.

This workshop was part of the #LeavesofSouthwell project, funded by the @heritagefunduk

The Chapter House is now reopened after over a year of being closed due to conservation work. Why not, come and see the Chapter House restored to its full glory!

Dragons are one of the most popular motifs you can find in throughout the Minster 🐉

We have a variety of dragons in different decorative materials including stone, wood and even stained glass!

Our oldest dragon carving can be seen on tympanum stone, battling against Archangel Michael. This stone carving can be dated around 1100 and may have come from the Anglo Saxon church which once stood on the Minster site.

#didyouknow that our great west window (also known as the angel window 😇) has over 300 angels in it? It has enough angels for every day of the year!

Our great west window was designed by painted by Patrick Reyntiens and was installed in the Minster in 1996.

Reyntiens described the window as “a great gathering of angels enjoying being with God, just all joy and worship”

This window depicts many symbols and stories from the Bible including the creation story. These all showcase the joy and glory of God!

Can you spot Mary amongst the angels in the window?

The historic Minster watches over our wintery landscape 🏔

The Minster has been standing watch for over 900 years! If buildings could talk, I wonder what the Minster would tell us about, especially the stories it has seen over the years.

Have you noticed the Minster’s outline coming into to Southwell?
One minute, its the beautiful surrounding countryside and the next, the spectacular architecture of the Minster suddenly pops out of the trees with its distinctive Pepperpot towers!

What’s your favourite view of the Minster?

Join us for the next #leavesofsouthwell online talk next Tuesday (16th November) led by our very own Cathedral Archaeologist, Professor Philip Dixon.

'Architects, Priests and Masons in the Middle Ages'
Microsoft Teams / Zoom
Tuesday 16th November at 2pm.

Most studies of medieval churches and cathedrals concentrate on the dates and sources of inspiration for the buildings. In this talk, Philip is going to look at the links between patrons and builders, to try to identify the aims of the people who paid for the work and the interpretation of these aims by the workers who tried to turn the objective into stonework, looking at both religious and secular buildings.
