I made this request at the end of 2005 and here it comes again.<\/p>\n
Every year I buy a calendar with photographs of British Cathedrals. The format has varied \u2013 perhaps they haven\u2019t all been produced by the same publisher \u2013 but it\u2019s often been called \u2018Cathedrals and Greater Churches of Britain\u2019. Our 2016 calendar was produced by Judge Sampson. I like to buy it when singing in a Cathedral with a visiting choir, along with Christmas cards depicting the Cathedral, so I can support it.<\/p>\n
This year I drew a blank. Gloucester were selling one of their own with 12 views of Gloucester Cathedral. Wells likewise had a Wells-specific one. Southwark Cathedral shop, which I visited in November, had cleared calendars off their shelves ‘because the manager wants the space for Christmas stock’. (Evidently it hasn’t occurred to them that some people give calendars as Christmas presents, or indeed that they are most likely to sell them at the end of the year. I wonder how many unsold 2017 calendars they will have left over?) Other Cathedral shops I’ve tried, such as Lichfield, Bristol and St David’s, weren’t selling them. You can’t order from Judge Sampson direct online, or even find out what their range is.<\/p>\n
So if anyone has seen such a calendar on sale, especially if there are still copies on sale now, I\u2019d be interested to know! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
