Cathedral celebrates new lighting scheme

Over 300 guests attended the secondNave Dinner, which this year included

the formal turning on of the new cathedrallighting, and concluded with the vergers,Bruce Kirk (the lighting designer) and PeterDyke (the assistant organist), puttingtogether a sound and light show as theclimax of the evening.

Earlier Jeremy Clay, on behalf of his familyand the Jordan Foundation, presented theDean with a new plaque, which will be hungin the south choir aisle opposite the vestry,to celebrate the completion of the project.

During the evening the Dean said,‘thetransformation of the building and ourworship has been inspiring and we cannotbe grateful enough to the Clay family andthe trustees of the Jordan Foundation fortheir support, vision and commitment to thisproject.’

‘Visitors and worshippers alike have allcommented on the scheme and it is apleasure to receive such compliments. Ofequal importance, if not greater, the newsystem has allowed us to replace the oldelectrics, some of which had started tobecome potentially dangerous. This workwill help to ensure that the cathedral issafe from electrical problems for many yearsto come.’

The new system has a number of differentsettings, which worshippers and visitors willdiscover, ranging from a standard ‘generalillumination’for both summer and winter,through to a selection of service and concertsettings. The system will also allow differentschemes to be managed in various ways,depending on the occasion.

An immense thank you to Anne and JeremyClay and the Jordan Foundation for theirsupport of this project and for havingenabled this essential work to be carried out,while also allowing us to celebrate thearchitecture of the cathedral in such anexciting way.

The principal sponsor for the Nave Dinnerwas South Hereford Garages along witheight corporate sponsors, and they werethere to witness the wonderful show. Thecorporate tables were sponsored by allpay,Architype, Bartonsham Farm, Bevisol,Claridge Nursing Homes, Peter ProsserHairdressing, AJ & CI Snell and TRP SealingSystems Ltd.

Work on St John’s Walk willbe starting shortly, withscaffolding initially being putin place to allow the roof onthe southern end, where itjoins onto College Cloisters,to be stripped and inspected.This will allow us to have agreater understanding of theproblems that we will find asthe project moves forward,while not making the Walkunusable during the ThreeChoirs Festival.

We already know that theroof is the home to a numberof rare bryophytes (liverworts,mosses, etc) and the projectwill ensure that as many aspossible will be saved andenabled to re-colonise thenew roof. It will also give theLearning & Publicity Officer,Jo Catling, an opportunity totell the story of this importantgroup of plants, which arerarely considered in

services. We hope to be ableto tell you more in ourautumn newsletter.

The new sound system will befinished within the next fewweeks and fully installed.Many thanks to all who havetolerated the works and theoccasional lack of sound, inparticular those who have notbeen able to use the loopsystem.

Work is still underway indeveloping the broadcastingsystem and we hope tolaunch the Evensongwebcasts later this year,which will give many whoare not able to join us at thecathedral, for a variety ofreasons, the opportunity tohear and share in our

Much of the work is to bephotographed and we hope(whether through thewebsite or with anexhibition) that it will bepossible to display many ofthe pictures to help peopleunderstand the challenges ofmaintaining such a buildingand the remarkable work ofthe craftsmen and womenwho work on it.

Roof updateWork to repair three of theroofs is well underway withthe work on the oldchoristers’ vestry (the smallroof between the AudleyChapel and the south easttransept) complete.Woodwork has beenrepaired, lead replaced withstainless steel to reduce thethreat of theft, and rainwatergoods (hoppers, downpipes,etc) renewed. Thankfully nounexpected surprises havebeen found to date!

Work has also begun on theNorth Choir Aisle, the areahigh above the stonemasons’workshop, while the BoothPorch works will begin inmid to late June. We lookforward to being able to tellour many summer visitors,and those joining us for theThree Choirs Festival inparticular, about the work

The new book on thearchaeology uncovered as partof the Close project hascertainly captured the eye of theworld press, with a number ofthe findings being reported inthe Telegraph and Timesnewspapers and the story beingfeatured on CBS broadcastingin the United States.

A number of stories seem tohave caught the imagination:the mediaeval knight who hadbeen involved in jousting, thenumber of high ranking menwho had moved into the area(perhaps tied in with a taxbreak for marrying a localwoman?) and an interestingnumber of child burials. Thedetailed study of over 700individuals has given anexciting glimpse into life,disease, accident and injuryfrom the Norman Conquestthrough to the 19th century.

Those who are part of ourpledged giving programme andwho have been kind enough tolet us know that they haveremembered the cathedral intheir Wills, will be invited to beguests of Christopher James, theTrust’s former Chairman, andhis wife Lotty. The garden, seton the edge of the River Arrowat Eardisland, ranges from arose garden and formal bordersthrough to sweeping lawns andorchard walks.

Invitations are limited to thosewho have pledged their supportthrough these two forms ofgiving, though there is still timeto return your standing order orpledge form if you would care

My pledge tothe cathedral

I forgot everything but the voices of thechoir, echoing, it seemed, from above thehigh altar; I saw nothing but little flushesof pink and blue falling on the stonethrough stained windows. The organ of‘Hereford...’ is, as it should be, the voice ofthe cathedral: its calm sweetness places ahand over the spirit; and in this church,with the organ whispering through theaisles, the world and its problems seemover the hills of reality.
