The Exeter Diocesan Synod - A Glimpse into 19th Century Ecclesiastical Power
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, offers a rare glimpse into the prestigious Exeter Diocesan Synod. The image showcases an important moment in religious history, as bishops and clergymen gather in the magnificent Chapter House of Exeter Cathedral. The scene is filled with solemnity and grandeur. The intricate architecture of the Chapter House serves as a majestic backdrop for this significant assembly. As sunlight streams through stained glass windows, it illuminates every detail of this historic occasion. Seated on an ornate bishop's throne at the forefront is a figure commanding attention - perhaps representing one of Devon's influential bishops who presided over this synod. Surrounding him are clergymen engaged in deep discussions and deliberations that would shape church policies and practices. This print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 5th, 1851, providing readers with a visual narrative of religious affairs during that era. Preserved within private collections today, it stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an age where faith played a central role in society. It reminds us of the enduring power held by places of worship like Exeter Cathedral and their ability to bring people together for matters
