There has never been a display like it. This is the catalogue to an
ambitious exhibition at the Goldsmiths' Hall, London, which will
comprise 250 gold and silver objects and sets of objects spanning
the history of the Church from the earliest possible times to the
present day. A foreword by the Rt Revd Rowan Williams, Archbishop
of Canterbury, and twelve essays by distinguished authorities will
illustrate aspects of evolving liturgy and Church history such as
the medieval Mass, Church patronage in the Middle Ages, and the
English Reformation. Historical themes from post-Reformation
centuries will include Catholic recusancy, the 17th- and
18th-century altar service and the medieval revivals that mirrored
the Victorian Tractarian movement. Important commissions from the
1980s and 1990s for Lichfield Cathedral and York Minster will also
be discussed. Essays will be accompanied by new photography of key
objects, many of them the'secret' treasure of individual parish
churches. The guiding principle of the exhibition is that all loans
be in the possession of the Church or other religious foundations.
Objects have been selected from cathedrals, Oxford colleges
and'royal peculiars' such as St George's Chapel at Windsor. The
majority are from parish churches great and small up and down the
country.
