Cathedral diagram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Outside the cathedral there is often a "chapter house" where the monks or priests whose church it was would hold their meetings about church business; chapter houses are often round and are usually connected to the church building. When cathedrals are enlarged, the nave may be extended and a narthex added, the choir may be rebuilt with an ambulatory and chapels, but most usually the consecrated place that is the sanctuary remains at the same place. The apse did not last long as an architectural fashion; in Europe it was replaced by the rounded "chevet," (Amiens, Metz) and in England by squared-off east ends, and as the cathedrals were rebuilt or repaired, their apses were often remodeled into the newer shapes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cathedral_diagram   (866 words)

Diocese of Manchester - Cathedral Withdraws Permission for Service The Cathedral Chapter came to the concluson, with sincere sadness and reluctance, that it would not be appropriate to have a conference service at such a sensitive and crucial time for the church as it prepares to debate an inevitably contentious issue for the Anglican Community in this country and throughout the world. The Cathedral Chapter made it clear in its letter to LGCM that there was, and still is, sadness and significant reluctance about the decision, and that it regards LGCM as a legitimate Christian organisation. The Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement (LGCM) approached the cathedral earlier this year to ask if it could hold its conference service there. www.manchester.anglican.org /news_full.asp?ID=79   (464 words)

UK Detectornet Saxon cathedral emerges from its Norman shadow in ARCHIVE MATERIAL The newly discovered wall apparently encircles the Chapter House and Dr Sally Crawford, a medieval archaeologist at Birmingham University, believes that it is the outline of the apse of the original cathedral, suggesting that the Chapter House was deliberately built within its foundations. A cathedral was built in 961 by the Anglo Saxon bishop, St Oswald. The buried yard-thick walls of a circular building 80 feet in diameter were first detected in the grounds of the Norman cathedral at Worcester when workmen were digging a trench for a gas pipe 18 months ago. www.ukdetectornet.co.uk /article.php?article_id=67   (464 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bath and Wells Of the twin cathedrals of the diocese, Bath Abbey was rebuilt (1499-1530) in late Perpendicular style and is the last complete monastic building erected before the Reformation, while the cathedral at Wells, though small, is the most perfect example of a secular cathedral and one of the most beautiful Gothic buildings in England. On his death, the monks of Bath ignoring the chapter of Wells, elected as his successor Roger, one of their own community, for whom they obtained royal and papal confirmation, but the consequent appeal by the Wells chapter brought about the final settlement of the difficulty. But though he omitted Wells from his title, he did more than any other bishop for the town, for he restored and enlarged the cathedral, adding the beautiful west front, increased the number of canons from thirty-five to fifty, and founded a grammar school. www.newadvent.org /cathen/02347b.htm   (464 words)

LGCM - Halfway To Lambeth Our information now confirms that it was as a direct result of the intervention of the Bishop of Manchester that the Cathedral Chapter abruptly changed their mind and withdrew the agreed plan for a separate service. Manchester Cathedral's decision to renege on their agreement to host the LGCM conference service has resulted in several offers of venues for worship in the centre of Manchester. Originally LGCM had suggested attending the regular Sunday morning service at the Cathedral but as discussions progressed with Cathedral staff it was decided by all concerned that it was probably better for a separate service so that regular worshippers did not feel swamped by conference delegates. www.lgcm.org.uk /HalfwayToLambeth/press/press2.htm   (884 words)

St Marys Cathedral, Edinburgh, George Gilbert Scott, St Marys, Cathedral Amazingly the Cathedral's ongoing development was coordinated by George Gilbert Scott's family: One of Scott's sons designed the missing Chapter House to the original design in 1890-1 and another son completed the two western spires, to Scott's amended design, from 1913 to 1917. St Mary's Cathedral was built from 1873/74, to seat 1500 people, but the Cathedral (minus Chapter House) was only consecrated in 1879.
