9th June 6.00 pm in The Priory – A Cathedral Treasure: the Anglo-Saxon Hereford Gospels

David Thomson‘ illustrated talk on the oldest surviving book of the Cathedral and a great treasure, a junior cousin of the famous Lindisfarne Gospels.   

As part of the diocesan celebrations of its 1350th anniversary, its oldest treasure, the Anglo-Saxon book The Hereford Gospels is on exhibition through the summer at the cathedral, and a new hand-made book The Hereford Gospels for Today is on tour in the diocese – starting here at Leominster as part of Vikings at the Priory! It is filled with modern calligraphy and responses in word and art to the Gospels from children and adults alike, and all are very warmly invited to come and turn its pages and enjoy the living inheritance of our diocese’s oldest treasure and the Gospels it contains.
