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.
A fifteenth century manuscript copy of Bede's The History of the English People (WCL F148 f19r).
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.
The 14th century west cloister in the summer sunshine looked nice on Saturday.
A 19th century cookery book has a list of recommended utensils for a good cook! (WCL Sel.D.35)
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)
A strange creature with a bird's body, foliage for a tail and a human face. This is a decoration in Johannes Monachus' "Apparatus super Sextum" It is in a 14th Century canon law manuscript (WCL F141 f.137r)
The cathedral nave looked nice in the summer sunshine yesterday afternoon. Have a great weekend!
With Three Choirs Festival starting soon, here is another photo of colourful Victorian music and theatre posters advertising concerts in the 1850's to the 1880's from the cathedral music collection.
This is an early English binding covering a book printed in 1527 at Cologne in Germany which is the collected writings of the ancient Roman author Macrobius. (WCL Sel. A.52.3)
This busy and colourful page is from a manuscript copy of Vacarius' Liber Pauperum. Vacarius was an Italian law expert who is thought to have taught at the University of Oxford in the 12th century. This work is his commentary on Justinian's Codex (WCL F24 f118r).
A half-dog and half-serpent creature or maybe a wyvern at the bottom of this manuscript folio. It is in a copy of Hegesippus' De Bello Iudaico, produced at Worcester Cathedral in the mid-1100's (WCL F30 f.46r)
The view of the north transept in the distance and the quire screen on the right hand side. The huge central pillars support the weight of the tower. Have a great weekend!
Some music programmes and flyers from the mid- to- late 19th century from the cathedral music archive.
A busy but colourful work arranged alphabetically on papal decretals by Martin of Troppau. He was a Bishop and a friar living in the 1200's. This copy was made in the 1400's in England (WCL F115 f.210v).
