2018 - Christmas Day
Rest period and Secret Santa distribution, between Eucharist and Matins. In the Richard Eyre Room (a meeting room on the top floor of the West Wing of the Bishop's Palace, near to the song schools and vestries)
Jonny Titchin (Can Alto I, and former chorister). Jonny's Secret Santa gift seemd a very appropriate one for encouragment to 'give it plenty of handbag'.
To the right is Mike Dobson (Dec Alto I), looking very Bah Humbug!
The embroidery on the wall behind Jonny is an altar frontal (see the other side of the frontal in the photo of James), formerly used in the Nave at Easter time. It was created in the 1980s. Ceased being used in c.2013 when new Nave furnishings were introduced by Dean Jonathan Draper (dean 2012-17).
