Art in the Cath
Spring is sprung and with the change of season
come the March hares of Sophie Ryder’s
‘Relationships’ exhibition. She explores this theme
through a series of figures in wire and bronze:
minotaurs – that is, human figures with bull heads
– and what the artist calls ‘lady-hares’, female
figures with hare masks.

What relationships does she explore? The
most immediate is the one between humans
and animals, a strong theme in British culture.
From Lewis Carroll’s March Hare to Nick Park’s
Gromit – animals are a common device in British
advertising, which is currently using a horse to
tempt us to switch banks and a talking bulldog
to sell us insurance. The skilled persuaders of
capitalism are good guides to what makes us
tick, and here they are on to something deep.
Putting certain characteristics on to animals

Foreword
Sophie Ryder’s playful figures can therefore
hint, if we need them to, at darker things. And
they are with us through a season when we tell
a dark story. The narrative of the days leading
up to Jesus’ death contains figures whose
characteristics, as in good art, reflect our own.
It too is an exploration of relationships: the shift
in relations when Judas, a follower of Jesus,
becomes disillusioned; the horrible gap between
promise and performance that leads Peter to
deny his relationship with his friend when his
mask slips; the power relationship between
Pontius Pilate and his prisoner; the animal spirits
of a fickle crowd; and the moment that seems to
snap the relationship even between Jesus and the
one he calls his Father: ‘my God, my God, why
have you forsaken me?’
hedral
helps us see those characteristics better –
perhaps handle them better – in ourselves.
The artist says that the relationships in her
mind are those in her own family, but the bull
heads and hare masks allow whoever looks at
them to ‘project their own relationships onto the
sculptures’.
It is a story about us. Even more, though, it is
the story of God, and God’s relationship with you
and me. It holds a promise that we can see in
Sophie Ryder’s biggest piece, The Kiss (see left).
A promise that, for those who grasp God’s hand,
there is a bond that nothing – nothing you can do,
nothing you can suffer – will be able to break. To
grasp that hand it is not enough just to accept all
this as information about events long ago. As with
good art, we need to let it work on us, we need to
make the story our own.
Dr Robert Titley
Sophie offers a contrast here. To wear a mask is
a choice to present a certain identity to the world
which – as we know from social media – may or
may not reflect the true character beneath. The
original minotaur of Greek mythology, however,
had no such choice, as it was the half-human,
half-bull offspring of a doomed relationship. We
may see something of ourselves there too. We
are, as the French philosopher Pascal put it,
‘neither angel nor beast’, though we can be a
mixture of both.
CANON TREASURER
Almighty Father
look with mercy on this your family for which
our Lord Jesus Christ was content to be
betrayed and given up into the hands of sinners
and to suffer death upon the cross; who is alive
and glorified with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever
Amen

Volunteer Voice
Volunteer Voice is an oral history project
involving Cathedral volunteers, which ran
throughout the Autumn of 2015.
Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) as
part of our Magna Carta grant, our aims for
Volunteer Voice were twofold. Firstly, although the
Cathedral archives contain many treasures, there
is surprisingly little from more recent history and
outside of the ‘official’ record – we wanted to
increase representation in the archive of other
groups and aspects of the Cathedral’s life rather
than just the minutes of committee meetings!
We decided that one way to do this would be
to interview Cathedral volunteers – to ask
them about their thoughts and experiences of
volunteering.
Secondly we wanted volunteers to have the
opportunity to directly engage with the archive
by participating in the recording, transcribing and
processing of the interviews as well as ensuring
their own words are preserved in the archive.
Our aim was to interview 50 volunteers, to
transcribe many of the interviews and save them
4
on archival CDs. All the interviewing, transcribing
and processing has been done by a fantastic
team of 17 volunteers. With the HLF grant we
were able to buy specialist recording equipment,
archival quality CDs for long term storage and
provide specialist training by Barbara Gibson, a
professional oral historian.
To date over 60 volunteers have been interviewed
from over ten different volunteer groups, from
guides to flower arrangers, education volunteers
to holy dusters. Many of these interviews have
been transcribed and three sixth-formers from
Bishop Wordsworth’s School have been busy
making audio clips from the interviews.
We wanted to find out more about why people
volunteer at the Cathedral, what their role
entails, what they enjoy (or don’t enjoy) and any
interesting stories they have about their time at
the Cathedral. Many interviewees talked about
the special atmosphere of the Cathedral:
‘Apart from the pleasure of being in the Cathedral
and doing something worthwhile in there, I just
love the peace, the quiet, the gentleness of
people pottering around, the footsteps, and I...
Volunteer Voice
Of course there are many entertaining stories
too such as that told by Sheila Crone, education
volunteer: ‘It was quite funny when I was Eleanor
of Aquitaine and the children were chattering away
and I thought I can’t just slide in unobtrusively, I’m
the Queen. So I sort of shouted ‘Silence!' in a loud
voice and I think some of the tourists were a bit
alarmed as well as the children!’
love handling all the beautiful old wood and the
shapes and having plenty of time while I’m dusting
to feel the angel’s wing and see the little griffins
and all these funny little medieval animals. That’s
a lovely part of the whole thing for me… and it’s
lovely to be able to put something back into a
place which gives me so much’ says Chrystabel
Lambert, Holy Duster.
Guide Malcolm Carver also spoke about the
benefits of volunteering: ‘It’s very rewarding
in that you work with the same people every
Wednesday morning so they all become friends
even though they are people you’d probably never
have met before.'
All the interviews, transcriptions and audio
clips will be preserved in the archive for future
generations to enjoy. Although Volunteer Voice
as a specific project is now completed, we hope
that in the future we will be able to interview
and record the stories of many other people
connected with the Cathedral.

It has been very interesting hearing about how
different people describe their volunteer role.
Chris Basham, a Magna Carta guide, says: 'I tell
kids who come along, it’s a piece of dead sheep
with some writing on it, and of course that’s what
it really is, it’s really up to the guides like myself to
bring it alive and to bring out its importance and
to engage people’s imagination.'
Alison Pinkerton explains how she talks about
the font when guiding: 'I’ve found the font an
extremely useful way of conveying a feeling of
worship and commitment to the Christian faith
because, although it’s moving and quite noisy,
it’s an area of tranquillity. I think one of the things
I want to convey is that it isn’t just a museum,
the Cathedral, and the font I find is the best
way for me to do it. I just want to get people to
understand what the Cathedral is for.'

Font for Exeter
L-R: Gary Price, Alan Spittle, Canon Dr Robert Titley,
Canon Ian Morter and Chris Sampson
On Monday 1 February at 11:00 Gary Price, Clerk
of Works, and Canon Dr Robert Titley, our Canon
Treasurer, handed over a large bowl font made
in the Works yard to Exeter Cathedral’s Clerk of
Works, Chris Sampson and Canon Ian Morter,
their Canon Treasurer.
who also helped me rub and polish the bowl. We
were both extremely pleased with the final result
and it was a pleasure to work on this unique piece
of sculpture' said Gary Price
The font will be consecrated at Easter and will
be placed on a specially-made wooden trestle,
shaped to echo Exeter Cathedral’s Gothic arches.
'I was very honoured to receive a commission to
make a portable stone font for Exeter Cathedral
by their Clerk of Works, Chris Sampson, who was
Head Mason here at Salisbury for 15 years. The
Font is made of Purbeck “Blue” stone, this is the
same bed of stone used in all of our Cathedral’s
columns and Exeter uses this as well.'
'The bowl took about a week to make and is just
over two feet in diameter and 4 inches high.
Exeter clergy also requested the Holy Trinity
symbol be carved into the bowl and painted gold.
This was undertaken by stonemason Alan Spittle,

Unlocking Treasures
Monday 7 March, 19:00 - 20:00
Our last lecture in a series of three is
‘Conservation’ with Chris Woods, an accredited
conservator with over 30 years of experience.
New Wren Discovery!
As cataloguing progresses in the Cathedral
archive, new discoveries are coming to light.
One particularly exciting find, discovered by
Assistant Archivist Helen Sumping, was amongst
the bundles of receipts and invoices in the Fabric
records for work done and supplies purchased.
These give a fascinating insight into the past
upkeep of the Cathedral. In the bundle for 1673,
amongst receipts for such items as nayles and
henges, is a memorandum between the Cathedral
and a joiner, Alexander Fort, disputing precisely
what work in the Quire was included in his original
contract.
Mr Fort and Sir Christopher Wren had worked
together before so it is not surprising that
at the bottom of the memorandum there is
Wren’s signature supporting Fort’s work. We
already know that Wren was asked by Bishop
Seth Ward to write a report of the Cathedral’s
condition in 1668 (and this report has survived
in the archives), but this memorandum provides
evidence that Wren continued to be involved in
subsequent works. The memorandum is in rather
a fragile condition with small pieces missing and
evidence of past water damage. Its condition will
be recorded in the catalogue, helping us to plan
for future conservation work.
Emily Naish
Chris will be discussing the conservation and
preservation of the Cathedral’s documentary
treasures. In particular, he will be focusing on our
1215 Magna Carta and the challenges that the
physical properties of such a document presents
to the conservator.

Three New Choristers!
Three probationers were ‘made up’ to full
choristers in the Girls Choir during Evensong on
Saturday 6 February.
The Bishop of Sherborne
At Evensong on Thursday 25 February, the day
after her consecration at Westminster Abbey, the
Rt Revd Karen Gorham was admitted and installed
into our College of Canons.
Karen is the 36th Bishop of Sherborne and the
9th in modern times and will be responsible
mainly for parishes in Dorset. She comes to the
Diocese of Salisbury from Oxford, where she held
the post of Archdeacon of Buckingham for the
last eight years.
'I am delighted to be joining the College of Canons
and playing my part in the life of the Cathedral and
Diocese. I enjoy the variety that ministry offers,
and look forward to representing the interests of
members of the Diocese within the College.'
Karen grew up in Billericay, Essex, where she and
her family were part of an Anglican church with
‘every member ministry’ at its heart.
The new additions were welcomed by their peers
by being bumped on the head with a Book of
Common Prayer, a quirky ceremony that has
become a tradition in the Girls Choir.
As well as promoting new choristers, the
Cathedral has recently finished its annual
recruiting round and in September six new boys
will be joining the Choir as probationers.
David Halls, Director of Music said: 'This year’s
voice trials were very successful and we’re
delighted that we have been able to offer a place
in our Choir to six boys. This means that we will
be at full strength, which is great news.'
Amongst the new recruits is Daniel Benians,
who’ll be joining his sister Annenora at Salisbury
Cathedral School and two present pupils at the
Cathedral School, Charlie Jones-Perrott and
Sebastian Kunzer. The new boys will join the choir
in September.
'To be a Pilgrim'
Our Discipleship Programme now moves into its
second phase with small groups gathering every
Wednesday during Lent. We will be focusing on
different topics as preparation for our Easter
celebrations. For more information visit:

Holy Week Choral
Foundation Concert
Wednesday 23 March, 19:30
Salisbury Cathedral Choir with La Folia orchestra
(leader, Daphne Moody) perform Domenico
Scarlatti’s Stabat Mater and James MacMillan’s
Seven Last Words from the Cross David Halls
conducts.
Music Highlights
On the Tuesday of Holy Week (22 March),
members of the congregation are strongly
encouraged to come to the Tenebrae service at
19:30. Aside from plainsong, this service features
music by the French twentieth-century composer
Francis Poulenc (1899–1963).
His Four Lenten Motets were composed between
1938 and 1939, and take text from the Matins
Responsories for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday
and Holy Saturday. All four of these superb
motets (Timor et tremor, Vinea mea electa,
Tenebrae factae sunt and Tristis est anima mea)
may be heard at this very moving service.
Also included in this service are several
movements from Poulenc’s Mass in G. Completed
in 1937, the Mass is dedicated to the memory
of Poulenc’s father. These Mass movements
are exquisite, and complement the four motets
perfectly. By contrast, Evensong on Easter Day
at 15:00 features the majestic St Paul’s Service
by Herbert Howells and the joyous anthem by
Richard Shephard, Ye Choirs of new Jerusalem.
Domenico Scarlatti’s reputation rests largely on
his enormous output of keyboard music and of
his sacred music but only the Stabat Mater is at
all well remembered. It was probably composed
between 1713 and 1719, while Scarlatti was
maestro di cappella at the Basilica Giulia in Rome.
In common with the many Italian and Italianate
works of this period, its use of rich textures and
daring harmonies within the seemingly austere
framework of a ten-part choir, produces the most
wonderful effects.
James MacMillan’s Seven Last Words from the
Cross was commissioned by BBC Television and
first screened in seven nightly episodes during
Holy Week 1994, performed by Cappella Nova
and the BT Scottish Ensemble under Alan Tavener.
The traditional text of the Seven Last Words from
the Cross is based on a compilation from all four
gospels to form a sequential presentation of the
last seven sentences uttered by Christ.
Tickets: £10 - £15 available on the door, from

Organ Recitals 2016
A prestigious line-up of organists and a rich and
varied programme of music is planned for the
2016 Organ Recital Series.
Well-known recitalist Geoffrey Morgan, Organist at
Christchurch Priory, opens the series on 20 April
with the Walter Alcock Recital. The programme
includes Alcock’s March Triomphale, along with
works by Bairstow, Hollins, Edmundson, Bach,
Mozart and Reger.
Andrew Nethsingha, Director of Music of the
world-renowned choir at St John’s College,
Cambridge, performs on 25 May with a
programme including the first movement of
Elgar’s Organ Sonata, and Franck’s Choral No 1.
There is also music by Vierne, Whitlock,
Karg-Elert, Leighton, Howells and others.
The Jenkinson Recital, traditionally given by
Salisbury Cathedral’s Organ Scholar, will be
performed by Henry Websdale on 22 June. Henry
will play pieces including Bach’s Prelude & Fugue
in D (BWV 532), Hindemith’s Sonata No 1 and
Duruflé’s Prélude et Fugue sur le nom d’Alain.
This is an excellent opportunity to hear Henry
perform in the recital context and to thank him
for his excellent service to the Cathedral before
he leaves to become Organ Scholar of King’s
College, Cambridge, in September 2016.
Our Assistant Director of Music, John Challenger,
will perform as part of the 2016 Incorporated
Association of Organists Festival on 27 July, when
he gives this recital at the Cathedral as part of
our own series.
XII
John’s programme features a range of baroque
pieces by Bach, Buxtehude and Couperin,
interspersed with more modern works by Jehan
Alain, along with Harold Darke’s Choral Prelude on
a theme of Thomas Tallis. The recital concludes
with César Franck’s Choral No 3.
Tom Winpenny, Assistant Master of Music at St
Albans Cathedral, plays an exciting and varied
programme on 17 August, which includes music
by Bach, Franck, Muffat, Wesley, Bairstow and
Messiaen. The programme ends with Max Reger’s
Choral Fantasia on ‘Hallelujah! Gott zu loben’.
Mark Williams, Director of Music of Jesus College,
Cambridge, gives the recital on 14 September.
Mark’s programme includes William Byrd’s Pavan
for the Earl of Salisbury, as well as pieces by
Bach, Locklair and Handel; the recital will end with
Percy Grainger’s energetic Handel in the Strand.
Our recital series concludes on 12 October with
the Walter Emery Recital, given by Peter King,
Director of Music at Bath Abbey. This varied and
colourful programme includes music by Whitlock,
Franck, Mendelssohn, Liszt and Frederic Wood.
The recital ends with Max Reger’s arrangement of
Bach’s Chromatic Fantasie and Fugue (BWV 903).
All recitals in our series feature the big screen,
which gives audience members in the Nave a
clear view of the organist at work in the organ
loft.
All recitals are on Wednesdays at 19:30.
Tickets are £9 and are available online
salisburycathedral.digitickets.co.uk/tickets
and on the door.
We look forward to welcoming you!
New Music Projects
The musicians of Salisbury Cathedral have two major,
exciting projects under way which will be of interest to regular
members of the congregation.
The first is a thorough revision of the psalmody performed by
the Cathedral choir on a daily basis. The sharp-eyed amongst
you will have noticed that we always sing from paper copies
rather than from a dedicated book.
Times will soon change, as my colleague John Challenger and I
are committed to deciding once and for all the psalm pointing
we use (the assigning of the text to the notes of a chant) as
well as the actual choice of chants, so that we can produce
a high-quality Salisbury Cathedral Psalter within the next two
years. It will be a hardback publication and will be available for
purchase.
The other project is the finalising and production of a new
Anthem Book to replace the current version. John and I are in
the process of collating all the anthem texts we wish to include
and, again, this project should come to fruition within two
years. Like the Salisbury Cathedral Psalter, it will be available
for purchase.

Widows of Vrindavan
An Exhibition by David Shaw
Saturday 20 February - Sunday 13 March
Morning Chapel
Relationships are about more than romance, or
even friendship. Relationship is what happens
whenever our lives overlap, so it is personal but
also economic and political. This is why David
Shaw’s searching images have such an important
place among the exhibitions exploring the
Cathedral’s theme of Relationships. In the Hebrew
and Christian scriptures the place of widows
in society is a touchstone of its generosity, its
compassion, its integrity. As we contemplate
these pictures they quietly compel us to examine
our own.
Vrindavan, an Indian city just 100 miles south of
Delhi, is a holy place in many prominent religions
as, according to Hindu scripture, it is the place
where the deity Krishna spent his childhood.
The city is also home to thousands of destitute
widows who live a life of religious dedication and
mourning after their husbands have died. The
widows, rejected as inauspicious and seen as
a burden, are often sent to Vrindavan by their
families. Living together with a sense of solidarity,
they lead simple and poverty-stricken lives but
with dignity and, for some, purpose.
Meet the artist
Sunday 13 March, 14:00 - 15:00
A chance to hear David Shaw talk about
his photographic work.
Free admission. All welcome.

News and Events
Trinity Chapel Dais Uncovered
Work commenced on Monday 11 January for four
weeks to remove the two-tier Purbeck slab and
black marble stone dais in the Trinity Chapel.
The Chapel re-opened on Friday 19 February.
Sponsor a Stone
The scheme to sponsor stones in the Cathedral,
conceived by Gary Price, Clerk of Works, has
proved hugely popular.
As well as having their initials carved on a stone,
sponsors receive a plan of the Cathedral showing
where it is fixed and a photograph of the stone.
Sponsors’ names are entered into a ledger that is
kept in the Fabric archives so that, as Gary says,
'If they are found in hundreds of years’ time future
masons will be able to see in whose name the
stones are placed.'
Part way through the excavation a watching
brief was kept by Graham Keevil, our Cathedral
Archaeologist, for any significant archaeology.
The most notable finds were a few medieval
encaustic tiles and a few small pieces of Chilmark
stone believed to be from Old Sarum. Also
uncovered was the original Cathedral lime mortar
floor and three brick piers, which were possibly
there to support an altar (see photo below).
Beyond that in the photo is infill made from stone
that has been used somewhere in the Cathedral
before, possibly removed in the 1790s from
one of the east end chapels that James Wyatt
demolished.
Gary Price
There are still some stones available to sponsor
within the current repair area on the south east
elevations, and all supporters will be invited to
climb the scaffolding to view this area at close
hand once it is completely conserved.
CLERK OF WORKS
All the gifts of sponsorship will go towards
the vital work of repairing and conserving
the precious medieval fabric to enable future
generations to be inspired by this beautiful place.
The Major Repair Programme is now excitingly
within sight of the finishing line by the end of
2018.

Meg’s Marathon for MRP
Meg Goulding, the daughter of June Osborne,
our Dean, is currently training to complete the
London Marathon this year in order to help us
raise the final £1million required to finish our
Major Repair Programme.
Sadly, our temporary loan of the Lynn Chadwick
sculpture Cloaked Figure IX has come to an end.
Negotiations are currently underway as to what
might replace it.
'On 26 April 2016 I will be running the London
Marathon and raising funds to support the
conservation of Salisbury Cathedral. The
dedicated Works team has been working on
the repair and conservation of the Cathedral’s
medieval stone and glass for 30 years and work is
due to be finished in the next couple of years.
I very much want to see the Cathedral reach the
finishing line of this magnificent project, ensuring
that the beauty of the building remains for
generations to come. Having lived under the spire
of the Cathedral since I was five years old, I have
got used to seeing scaffolding on different parts
of the architecture. I so much look forward to
seeing the work on this iconic church finished.
This is my first marathon, having started running
only a year ago – a huge challenge! In the last
year, I have run two half marathons, in Oxford
and Hackney, London. But it feels a lot tougher
training this time for the full length – and it is
much darker and colder than before! It would
bring me such enormous pleasure if you could
support me as I run! I really appreciate all your
support and thank you for any donations, large or
small,' says Meg.

South West Tourism Awards
L-R: Canon Chancellor Edward Probert, Jane Morgan
(Director of Communications and Development),
Roz Mitchell (Marketing Manager) and Marie Thomas
(Travel Trade and PR Manager)
The Cathedral struck gold on Thursday 4
February at the 2015-2016 South-West Tourism
Excellence Awards in Exeter Cathedral, winning a
Gold Award in the Large Visitor Attraction of the
Year category.
Announcing the prize, West Country TV presenter
and awards host Kylie Pentelow quoted the
judges’ citation, saying Salisbury Cathedral
was "A truly breath-taking building, packed with
history of huge relevance, it meets the highest of
standards."
Jane Morgan and Canon Edward Probert
collected the Gold Award at a black-tie event held
in the nave of Exeter Cathedral.
Canon Edward Probert said: "This award is a
fantastic accolade for the Cathedral at the end of
the Magna Carta 800 celebrations, which aimed
to embody our Cathedral values of integrity,
welcome and the promotion of social justice. It
recognises the energy and dedication of all the
staff and volunteers involved."
28
Jane Morgan said: "The Cathedral is a huge
enterprise, dependent on the support and
enthusiasm of so many to whom we are indebted.
Their work did not stop with Magna Carta 800, we
strive to maintain this level of excellence all the
time. It is hard work but rewarding."
Other finalists in the Large Visitor Attraction
category were Moors Valley Country Park
and Forest, Pennywell Farm and RHS Garden,
Rosemoor, which won Silver Awards, and Brunel’s
SS Great Britain in Bristol, which won Bronze and
Cornwall’s The Eden Project, which won Gold.
Along with 26 other successful South West
finalists, the Cathedral now goes forward to
compete in the 2016 Visit England Awards for
Excellence, being held at the Winter Gardens,
Blackpool on Tuesday 8 March.
In addition to the Cathedral, this year’s Visit
England ‘Large Visitor Attraction of the Year’
finalists include Beamish, The Living Museum of
the North (County Durham), Brunel’s SS Great
Britain (Bristol), Chester Zoo and The Whitworth
(The University of Manchester).

put this ravishing and, at the time, revolutionary
painting in its artistic and historical context.
Taking works from our own collection together
with generous loans, this will be a major exhibition
in partnership with the Tate’s Aspire project and
with Salisbury Cathedral at its core.
Outside View
The Salisbury Museum is both an architectural
neighbour but more importantly a cultural
partner in the life of the Cathedral. We have most
recently been working together to showcase the
work of artist Sophie Ryder. This is a visionary
project, which will enable the visitor to see
Sophie’s monumental, magical sculptures in
the setting of the Cathedral Close, but also
features a re-creation of her workroom at the
Museum and smaller works and etchings at The
Young Gallery and Sarum College respectively.
By joining together, all four venues can play
to their strengths and provide a truly dynamic
and comprehensive exhibition of the artist. This
will help also create an unforgettable visitor
experience for residents and visitors to Salisbury
alike.
The Cathedral building also lies at the heart
of the Museum’s art collection, as we hold an
extensive selection of paintings, sketches and
topographical drawings of Salisbury Cathedral
from all perspectives. Three of the most
significant works are delicate, architectural
watercolours of the Cathedral by J M W Turner
and were created when he was an up and
coming artist after visits to Salisbury at the end
of the 18th century. In September, Constable’s
‘Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows 1831’ will
My personal connection to the building runs very
deep, as I spent two years photographing the
inside and outside of the Cathedral, for a pinhole
photographic project. This gave me a very great
sense of the spiritual heart of the building itself,
the generosity of the staff and volunteers who
look after the public every day and the rhythm
of worship though the year. As a photographer, I
am endlessly fascinated by the changing seasons
and light, which render the fabric of the Cathedral
determinedly grounded in the landscape or
ethereally floating above it.
Salisbury Cathedral lies at the heart of the City
and the Cathedral Close. It is a building that
inspires me every day, by virtue of the Museum’s
privileged view of the West Front, through
changing skies and seasons. Only a few days
ago a magical moment occurred, when the
meteorological conditions produced a double
rainbow right over the top of the Cathedral,
exactly as Constable must have seen it all those
years ago. Life imitating art? It doesn’t get much
better than that.

Amnesty International Prisoner of Conscience
Jail for student protest
Young activist Phyoe Phyoe Aung is Secretary
General of the All Burma Federation Student
Union, one of the largest student unions in Burma
(Myanmar). She has been in prison since 10
March 2015 after being violently arrested during
a protest against the newly adopted National
Education Law.
Phyoe and more than 100 student protesters
have been charged with a range of criminal
offences; many face sentences of more than
nine years’ imprisonment. Despite what appears
to be a systematic clampdown on the student
movement, there is reason to believe that the
authorities can be pressured into releasing Phyoe

The Friends
God through nature renews us all, and
in the Close the trees and flowers are
beginning to stretch out to embrace us once
again with scent, foliage and colour.
Salisbury Cathedral sits peacefully but strongly
in this environment, caring for and embracing
all who work, visit or worship here, with warmth,
awe and wonder. The Friends charity has, since
1930, funded many diverse projects that make
a difference - to enhance and maintain, to repair
and conserve both fabric and fittings, including
the first new build since medieval times, the new
facilities in Little Paradise. We also care – about
our members, the Cathedral and its surroundings.
The accounting year closes at the end of March,
and we are delighted that our membership
numbers have increased, as close to 200
people have joined over the past year. We
are filled with renewed encouragement that
we can build on this success. A new Friends’
noticeboard will soon be in place in the Cathedral,
which we hope will increase our visibility
and reach more prospective members.
Although somewhat sad to leave our home of
fifty-odd years at 52 The Close, our new home
at 33a The Close is bright and welcoming, and
will renew our spirit and efforts alike to raise the
profile of The Friends, and recruit new members
to continue to do what we are here to do – help
safeguard the Cathedral for future generations.
