Talk:Derby Cathedral

List of musicians at English cathedrals

Could User:Andrewrabbott or some other interested person please go over to the page listed above and make the entry on Derby Cathedral comply with the other entries, so that the list pertaining to this cathedral links to the cathedral's article.

NOTE: In the context of an article, you cannot link a heading, as I have done on this talk page, because it doesn't comply with the MOS. So what was done with the original entries was that every single cathedral had a short sentence, in which the name of the Cathedral is linked e.g. "Organists at Barchester Cathedral have included Septimus Harding."

Enhancements needed / translations too!

Forgive me if I observe that this is a surprisingly very poor entry for such a significant building in Derby, and misses using key information sources such as the Cathedral's own official guidebook (£3 in the cafe) plus freely available leaflets on the Cathedral Clock, for example. The Cathedral's Outlook magazine for Dec 2014 contains an article on the history of the Cathedral, apparently based on a forthcoming book in 2015 by Professor Paul H Bridges from Derby University. There are relatively few foreign language versions of this page, and noticeably absent is a German version(Derby is twinned with Osnabruck!).

I will do what I can to update this page in the near future, but would welcome assistance from other Wikipedians to improve its content. I will be busy researching a trail leaflet on the exterior architecture of Derby Cathedral over the next few months (incorporating a QRpedia code to link to multi-lingual pages on Wikipedia) so fear I won't have the time to make many improvements here myself.

So any help you guys can give to help improve content here would be really welcome! Here are a few key issues currently overloooked:

• Rev Hutchinson's unauthorised demolition of the old church in c1725, and his efforts to raise funds for the construction of the new nave.(plaque to this effect in South Aisle)
• Source of Tower gritstone as Coxbench Quarry
• Retrochoir in artificial sandstone
• Green men
• Grotesque animal carvings beside main entrance on tower
• Cross-bedding in sandstone block of nave
• College place was named Dark Alley
• A section on the History of the Cathedral Clock (replaced in 1927) - info leaflet available.
• Visit of HRH ElizabethII in 2010
• Ring of 10 bells
• Highest loo in Derby (WWII firewatchers urinal in ringing chamber)
• Collapse of tower pinnacle during WWII from anti-aircraft balloon
• Alleged lowering of a donkey from the tower
• relocation of the bells (can be heard live via peregrine webcam feed)
• The Derby Plank
• Prayer reading for Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745
• Joseph Wright memorial
• Bess of Hardwick Memorial
• The Sanctuary
• Memorial to John Lawe
• Font by James Gibbs
• Consistory Court

Much can be sourced from: Derby Cathedral Official Guide. 2014.
