I have wanted to visit Lincolnshire for some time now and this summer we drove over to view the original document of the Magna Carta which was dated 1215AD. While we were there, we visited other places too.
Grimsby Minister ( Church of England) is different from a Cathedral in that a Cathedral has a Bishop attached to it. The name comes from the Latin Cathedra - Chair. A Minster is different and is more collegiate and refers to the main church of a group of churches.
This Minster although nearly 1000 years old, has not been a minster for very long. In fact, it was designated as a Minster in 2010.
Its history is chequered as it was badly bombed by the Germans in World War 2 and parts have been rebuilt.
I was fortunate enough to be greeted and welcomed by Rev Teena who gave me an excellent tour of the Minster.
This place is FULL of history and has a lovely, warm atmosphere and stones which have soaked up a myriad of emotions over nearly 1000 years,
The photos are my own but the information comes largely from the excellent Rev Teena herself. Rev Teena agreed to her inclusion. Yes, I did ask!

The computer crashed before I completed another component to my observation and question below.
My brother and I genealogized for a year at the Family History Library in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah.
At the time, St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral Church had one female among its otherwise all-male canons. I remember seeing her in a pale blue dress or shirt and skirt. Perhaps she wore that color and that style always, perhaps she would alternate with other colors and with shirts and slacks.
Would Rev. Teena have indicated what her professional wardrobe would have required of her in the way of clothing colors and styles?
The second in-text image gives us a partial look at Rev. Teena.
Is an Anglican Reverend-ess -- ;-D -- expected to wear a dress or a shirt and skirt or a shirt and slacks? And must that color always be black?
The first subheading, The Minster - St James, Grimsby Parish Church, advises us that "A church building had existed on this site since 1114, but it was rebuilt and developed over the centuries."
Are any extant materials from predecessor constructions associated with the newest reconstruction or rehabilitation or repair?
The Remembrance Walls appeal to me as such an enduring way of appreciating what brave casualties have done for their generation's and succeeding generations' survivors.
Whose initiative inspires such walls? Church, church and community, community, other?
The sixth subheading, Remembrance Walls, advises us that "The Remembrance Walls are a particularly popular and well-visited site in Grimsby Minster. They are beautifully set out and respectfully appointed."
How long have remembrance walls been incorporated into church interiors?
What is the earliest, oldest date for a rememberee?
Thank you .
A Minster was originally a church where clergy living in community kept up the Catholic hours of prayer.Over time it became an important church, s,ometimes with a bishop. It seems to me that a Minster is in the Church of England the equivalent of what Catholics call a basilica,though in Roman Catholicism a basilica is rarely if ever a cathedral.

Spot on ', yes.
Since the church predstes Henry VIII I am assuming it started as a Roman Catholic church until Henry VIII siezed Catholic church buildings a broke with Rome.
