Norfolk Churches Trust

Norwich Cathedral will today (Tuesday 10 September) host a special conference to celebrate Norfolk as it becomes the first UK member of an ancient international pilgrimage route celebrating St Olav, the first Christian King and Patron Saint of Norway. St Olav Ways connects #Norway, #Sweden, #Finland, #Denmark and #Estonia - and now the #UK will be joining the network thanks to an initiative involving @Nrw_Cathedral, @NorfolkCC and the National Pilgrimage Centre in Norway.

Only four more doors to go and this is a BEAUTY 🚪Cathedral Doors🚪 The West Porch and Doorway to @StAlbansCath. The west front of the cathedral was rebuilt by Edmund Beckett, Lord Grimthorpe, in 1880. He carefully preserved the old monastery doors, which can still be seen inside the building. Over a century later, in 1988, this grand and formal entranceway was completed with Sally Scott’s engraved glass of the Virgin and Child.

Happy New Year folks. 🚪Cathedral Doors🚪 The Prior’s Door (ca. 1300) at @Nrw_Cathedral leads from the northeast corner of the Cloister into the South Aisle of the Nave and would have been the primary entrance into the Cathedral of the monastic community. The elegant but vigorous figures show Christ in Judgement displaying the five wounds of his Passion and flanked by three pairs of figures: two angels bearing instruments of his Passion; to the left, St Peter wearing the papal tiara and pallium and holding the remnant of a key and the Church, and to the right St Edmund, King and Martyr, the chief saint of East Anglia; to the left, St John the Baptist wearing his camel’s-hair coat and to the right Moses, with horns and carrying the Tables of the Law.
