Obituaries

I'm looking for a list of those in Winchester Cathedral. Thanks! --DLL 13:37, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Saint Swithun

"The cathedral also contains a shrine to Saint Swithun, a 9th century bishop"

I was in Winchester Cathedral yesterday and I'm fairly sure I heard someone say St Swithun was no longer in the cathedral. Can anyone verify this and update accordingly? --Sierro 11:28, 22 May 2006 (UTC) The original shrine of the Saint and all his remaining relics were destroyed in 1538 by Henry VIIIs Commission for the Destruction of Shrines. In the link just added is a picture of the pilgrims hole beneath the retroquire which pilgrims once used to get close to the holy relics. You can see the discolouration and almost feel the impact of so many hands upon the stone there, WyrdLight 16:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whoah!

They managed to convert a transept into the smallest state in Europe - nice. There's some special effects I've got to see.

Events

Do you really think the funeral of Alan Ball ranks with those other events? Theshoveljockey 20:59, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't, I think it should be discarded. With all due respect to Alan Ball, I don't think he ranks with some of the most important historical figures in England. --Floydiac 22:34, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Info Box

...is causing gaps in the text, but only on wide monitors, this time. Amandajm (talk) 08:06, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Map

I noticed that one editor included a map that indicated the location of the cathedral. This feature is very useful for those who are unfamiliar with Britain. I, for one, regret that it was removed. Michael Glass (talk) 02:38, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I've added a map to the infobox, for future reference here's how. Nev1 (talk) 02:47, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you click on the fourth word in the opening line of the lede you will get the very same map. It does not show where in the city the cathedral is so there is really no need to duplicate it here. It is just too much info in the box.--Charles (talk) 10:52, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of organists

This list should probably be deleted. Keeping the names (probably "hidden") of pastors might be justified, but surely not organists! Student7 (talk) 20:53, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you to be honest. I can't see a good reason to include them. Just be glad the situation isn't as bad as Durham Cathedral, where they don't just have a list of organists, but assistants too. Nev1 (talk) 22:34, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I probably should have checked the article here before opening my mouth: its list of organists and ancillaries is longer than in the Durham Cathedral article. The article on Chester Cathedral is in a good state and doesn't have the list. Nev1 (talk) 23:19, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it. Just an excuse to list a lot of WP:NN people which is quite wrong. Notables could be listed separately, I suppose. Student7 (talk) 19:47, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
