List of musicians at English cathedrals[edit]

Could some interested person please go over to the page listed above and make the entry on Portsmouth 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."

1960s proposals to extend, and (Viscount) Bernard Montgomery[edit]

I have included some brief information about the 1960s plans to extend the nave, by Seely & Paget and Pier Luigi Nervi. I think they are worth mentioning, as an example of the Church of England in the 1960s still taking a triumphalist stance and wishing its new cathedrals to be constructed on a grand scale (compare Liverpool, Guildford, St Edmundsbury, and Coventry (though in that case a rebuilding)). The plans were also (I think) the first and only example of the Church of England considering the building (or rather completion) of a cathedral in a way that would facilitate "worship in the round" (compare Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral (RC)). However, the insertion might be read as giving the impression that Viscount Bernard Montgomery was a supporter of the 1960s plans. Although Montgomery's links with Portsmouth Cathedral are unreferenced, he was a committed Christian and a resident of the diocese of Portsmouth so it seems quite plausible that he was indeed a supporter of the plans to complete the cathedral. His general outlook, however, suggests that it is unlikely that he would have been a keen supporter of such a revolutionary architectural design. Was he in fact a supporter (but in the 1950s and early 1960s) of the plans to complete using the plans by Charles Nicholson? If anyone can provide properly referenced information on these points it would improve the article.Ntmr (talk) 13:55, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The nave of the Cathedral Church of St Thomas of Canterbury in Portsmouth, England. The original building was dedicated in 1188 to the honour of St Thomas of Canterbury, who was assassinated and martyred. This chapel was to become, in turn, a parish church in the 14th century and a cathedral in the 20th century.Photograph: David Iliff

Portsmouth Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral church in Portsmouth, England. A chapel was built on the site and dedicated to St Thomas of Canterbury in 1188, and became a parish church in the 14th century. Following substantial damage during the English Civil War, the tower and nave were reconstructed between 1683 and 1693. The building became a pro-cathedral when the Diocese of Portsmouth was split from the Diocese of Winchester in 1927. Plans to enlarge it were interrupted by World War II, and the building was finally consecrated as a cathedral in 1991.

This photograph shows Portsmouth Cathedral's three-manual and pedal, 49-stop organ, installed in 1994 by Nicholson & Co Ltd. The pipes originated from the John Nicholson organ of 1861 built for Manchester Cathedral, which had been relocated to Holy Trinity Church, Bolton.
