Leaves of Southwell Project Update 🌿#23

It has been an exciting time in our lovely Chapter House over the last 9 months! Careful installation of some 21st century additions (lights, underfloor heating, power and wifi capability), along with cleaning and conservation work has meant the taking up of the floor, the covering of the precious carvings for protection, installation (temporarily) of a huge scaffolding tower and hours of painstaking labour.

This week the wraps were taken off as works are nearly complete! Over the coming weeks we will see the installation of the mirror and the completion of the slype (passageway). Meanwhile, we share some photos of rarely seen high level carvings taken last week.

All part of the #leavesofsouthwell Project - thanks to the @heritagefunduk for all their support.

Join us for the latest in our series of talks on our stunning Chapter House taken by two of our amazing stewards.

Listening to the Leaves,
23rd March 2021
Microsoft Teams 2pm

What can the Leaves of Southwell teach us?
The building of the Chapter House in Southwell (1290-1310) coincided with an incredible period of naturalistic carving that was sweeping through Europe at the time. Seven centuries later, the world famous ‘Leaves of Southwell’ continue to inspire and enthral. Two of the Minster Stewards explore what life might have been like in medieval England at the time our beautiful Chapter House was being built and some possible reasons as to why certain leaves and other carvings were selected to be immortalised in stone.

Leaves of Southwell Project Update 🌿#22

Cleaning and repairing delicate C13th stonework is a specialist job and part of the #leavesofsouthwell project, supported by the @heritagefunduk . Laura and Alex from Skillington Workshop are on site to carry out this skilled work to the unique stone vaulted 11.3m high ceiling of the Chapter House. Soft brushes and vacuum cleaners are used to collect the dust and dirt, built up over the centuries from every carved leaf or animal, boss and rib, while lime mortar is used to fill and repair the cracks by hand. It’s incredible to be able to get so close to these carvings!

For more information on this fascinating project, please see https://www.southwellminster.org/theme/the-leaves-of-southwell/

Leaves of Southwell Project Update 🌿#21

Were the delicate C13th carvings of the Chapter House originally painted?

The Chapter House is currently internally scaffolded as part of the #leavesofsouthwell project for essential conservation work allowing access to the highest levels, including the rib vaulted ceiling, for the first and only time in a generation!

Professor Chris Brooke has taken some microscopic samples from the highest levels to be examined and analysed, using a process called Raman Spectroscopy, by an international team from the Universities of Bradford and Ghent.

This should tell us if paint pigments are present. Preliminary results of earlier samples from lower levels taken by Chris and Dr Andrea Kirkham, were shared in one of our series of ‘Lockdown Talks’ in January, available to view on request from education@southwellminster.org.uk

Thanks to the @heritagefunduk and players for their support with this important project.
