A wonderful opportunity here to see a service from the Elizabethan, 1559 Book of Common Prayer.

@EHJMcMillan @StBartholomews @allytt4 We do however intend to do a Laudian Mattins, Litany and Communion in due course.

[Antiquum Documentum @AntiquumD]

@EHJMcMillan @StBartholomews @allytt4 Hello! We don’t yet have any plans to do a 1552 service, due in part to its similarities to 1559. Evensong presented a greater musical opportunity than a 52/59 Communion. These would be interesting for future, but there are lots of historic services still to be done!

[Antiquum Documentum @AntiquumD]

Great to have been featured in the latest issue of the Prayer Book Today in an article by @allytt4 about reconstructing the 1549 Communion in @StBartholomews and in @KebleOxford.

It was a delight to stage a reconstruction of the Litany & Communion from the 1549 BCP on Saturday @StBartholomews, @WalkerMarcus preached the Sermon on Obedience from the 1547 Book Homilies. Music included little known repertoire from the Hammond & Lumley Partbooks.
