	Godfrey Giffard
		When Bishop Nicholas of Ely was translated from the See of Worcester to that of Winchester, Godfrey was elected by the monks; he received the temporalities of his see in June, 1268.
		The Worcester feud lasted down to the bishop's death, and reached such a height that when, in 1300, Archbishop Winchelsey visited the priory, the monks presented a formal accusation against the bishop containing thirty-six articles of varying importance to which Giffard's satisfactory answers are still extant.
		The quarrel appears to date from 1288 when the monks considered that the rights of the church of Worcester had been infringed by the bishop's refusal to allow their precentor to summon those who were to be ordained at an ordination at Westbury.

	Ancient Diocese of Worcester
		Probably the Worcester nave is among the earliest instances of English Gothic, dating from the later part of the twelfth century.
		It was the special prerogative of the bishop to act as chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and thus to celebrate Mass at all assemblies of the clergy at which the primate was present.
		The diocese included the County of Worcester and part of Warwickshire, and being of no very great extent only one archdeaconry was necessary, under which all the parishes, 241 in number, were included.

	Archenfield Archaeology - Worcester
		Worcester has seen occupation since prehistory and there was an Iron Age village in the area of Lich Street (Whitehead, 1976, p11).
		The antiquity of the church of St Helen’s in Worcester has been illustrated by Steven Bassett (1991) who presented a powerful case for this church pre-dating the cathedral and at least the possibility of it being originally a Roman Church.
		Although the first bishop was a monk, the original foundation of Worcester Cathedral, the church of St Peter, seems to have been as a house of secular canons.

	Records of the Anglo-Norman House of Glanville from A.D. 1050 to 1880 - Pages 61 to 80
		Directly Gilbert was made Bishop of Rochester, he became engaged in a contest with the monks of his church, and if they ever entertained a favourable opinion of their new prelate, it was of short continuance.
		Bishop Glanville and Hugh, Bishop of Lichfield, were the persons chiefly employed by the Archbishop to reduce those turbulent monks to obedience to their spiritual governor, and to chastise them for thwarting his laudable designs; thus did Glanville become so obnoxious to this religious fraternity.
		On the death of Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, Bishop Glanville was present at the election of the new Archbishop, and King Richard, writing to his mother, Queen Eleanor, desired her to command Gilbert, with the Bishops of London, Winton, and Lincoln, to support the election of Hubert Walter to the episcopal chair.

		Bishop Peter Selby has given indications over the years that he is not entirely happy with it and according to my sources has often privately expressed dissatisfaction about feeling bound to ‘Issues in Human Sexuality’.
		It is this that leads Bishop Selby into the realm of the absurd as he dismisses this concern because nobody had ever been able to tell him how their own marriage was threatened by the public recognition of gay relationships.
		For the Bishops it brought to the fore one of their primary responsibilities as chief pastors to be a focus for the unity of the Church.

		Catholic bishops in Massachusetts are urging the faithful to mobilize against the recent Supreme Judicial Court's ruling that will allow for same-sex marriage, and are advocating a constitutional amendment that reaffirms marriage as the union between one man and one woman.
		The bishops issued this call in a letter that was read in churches across the state this past weekend, reported the Boston Globe.
		In their letter, the bishops argue that marriage "is not just one life-style choice among many," and that changing "the definition of marriage in the long run will seriously harm family life." The bishops say their aim is not discrimination.

		Until the year 1842, the Old Palace was the official residence of the Bishop of Worcester.
		The Worcester Palace was eventually sold, in 1846, to the Dean and Chapter as a Deanery, which sadly led to the destruction of the old Deanery in College Green and the Guesten Hall with it.
		It is recorded that in the early morning he would climb out of the window on the first floor of the Palace, slide down the roof of an out-building, and so make his escape to the City to enjoy a ramble alone, and take opportunity of a chat with his humbler subjects.

		A century later and the land came into the hand of the Bishops of Worcester where it remained until the sixteenth century.
		The area was known as the Bishop of Worcester's manor of Cleeve, from where the modern name probably originates.

	The Bishops vs. America
		Bishop Harries was joined by the bishops of bishops of Coventry, Worcester, Bath, and Wells.
		But this greatly alarms the bishops, because evangelical influence is fanning the flames of U. "imperialism." Indeed, a "narrow" and "pre-Enlightenment" form of evangelicalism may explain the Bush administration's "intransigence" on issues from same-sex marriage to support for Israel, the bishops explain.
		According to the bishops, the "apocalyptic fantasies" of American evangelicals are fueling an "unquestioning acceptance of violence in the name of God" and support for "unbridled American power." The 100-page report lumps together all of the most dreaded bugaboos of European leftists: the Bush administration, evangelical Christians, and U.S. economic and military power.

		No documents survive that tell us about its beginnings, but archaeology, and the history of Worcester and its landscape suggest that it probably came into being, and was first built up, at some time in the 10th century A.D., just before the start of the last Millennium.
		The 'town planner' here was almost certainly one of the Saxon bishops of Worcester, possibly Bishop (Saint) Oswald himself, possibly in the 960s.After this, nothing whatever is known of the development and ownership of the plot until long after the Norman Conquest.
