A Queen and a Bishop keep silent watch in the military chapel. The amazing skill and attention to detail of the stonemasons always impresses. Have a great weekend!
A page from the medieval Cathedral Almoner's register. It recorded the donations of land or property people gave to the Almoner. This helped the cathedral and enabled it to distribute alms to the poor. Notice the tiny cartoon creature in the top left corner (WCL A9 ).
This ornate illuminated letter with decoration and a second bird-like artwork lower down the column opens the second part of Thomas de Bradwardine's theology book against the Pelagian heresy. Thomas lived in the 14th Century.
A huge letter M with a foliage flourish in a page from a mid-1100's manuscript copy of Jerome's Commentary on the Book of Isaiah. This may have been produced at Worcester (WCL F82 f.7r)
The impressively carved Bishop Hough monument is near the north quire aisle steps in the blocked arch of a long-gone Norman chapel that extended on the north side of the cathedral. Have a great weekend!
The conservators were here today working on Tudor documents. This cathedral annual account document has suffered from the very black iron-based ink destroying the paper.
Illuminated decoration from a 15th Century Missal. A missal was a manuscript with liturgy for the priest to celebrate mass during the year.
A huge thank you to the cheerful Tudor House Museum team who visited today. This is a 14th century manuscript copy of Aristotle's Metaphysics translated by William of Moerbeke (WCL F169). @TudorHouseWorcs
This week's Medieval artwork is a strange creature in the inner margin of a 14th century manuscript copy of Aristotle's Book on Physics with a commentary by Averroes (WCL F96)
A nice capital letter P from an 1100's lawbook by a man called Roland. He was a canon law expert in the 12th Century. This manuscript copy was probably made in England. (Worcester Cathedral Library Q70 folio 46v).
A nice capital letter P from an 1100's lawbook: Roland's "Stroma". Roland was a canon law expert in the 12th Century. This manuscript copy was probably made in England. (WCL Q70 f46v).
The John chapel is on the south side of the building so gets plenty of light. The window was commissioned in 1896 by Admiral R. F. Britten in memory of his parents and shows scenes connected to John the Baptist. Have a great weekend!
This is one of the monastic kitchener's account rolls from 1501. The monk was Humphrey Grafton and the image shows the sections for the Kitchen expenses and the staff wages for catering for c.40 monks, as well as guests, and the monks' servants.
Look carefully at the diagram at the bottom of this page in a 1200's philosophy manuscript (Aristotle's Analytica Priora translated by Boethius) and you can see the decorative faces and foliage. (WCL F119 folio 119v)
The 2025 Three Choirs Festival ended for another year on the weekend and so here is an 1876 flyer from a performance of Mendelssohn's oratorio "Elijah", two charity events and a concert from 1856, 1864 and 1868.
A mid-1200's manuscript copy of Aristotle's "Analytica Posteriora" translated by James of Venice. (WCL F119 f.159v)
Bishop Wulfstan II's Gift charter of 15 hides of land to the cathedral in 1089 was placed by him on the high altar. One hide was 120 acres. (WCL B1680a)
