The Bulletin  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 72—No. 3726  

Wednesday, July 11, 1951  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as Newspaper.  

Jeppelts  

Modern Drama Stems  

From the Miracle Plays of  

Chester’s Early Monks  

/'-'HESTER has for many centuries been  

an important ecclesiastical as well as  

commercial and military centre, and in  

former years the various religious bodies  

owned much of the town. Before the  

dissolution of the monasteries by Henry  

VIII (1509-1547), Chester Cathedral was  

the Benedictine Abbey of St. Werburgh.  

It was designed as an abbey church and  

in the buildings grouped around its  

cloisters the visitor of today has an  

unrivalled opportunity to study the way  

of life and surroundings of the monks.  

The site of the cathedral, according to  

tradition, was occupied in Roman times  

by church dedicated to Si. Peter and St.  

Paul. History records that the relics of  

St. Werburgh, who died about 7()0, were  

brought here in 875 from Hanbury in  

Staffordshire by Elfreda, the daughter of  

King Alfred, to preserve them from the  

Danish invaders. The earliest documents  

referring to the church are dated 958,  

and in 1093 the Norman Ball of Chester,  

Hugh Lupus, with the'aid of St. Anselm,  

Archbishop of Canterbury, founded the  

first Benedictine monastery. During the  

succeeding five centuries the monastery  

became wealthy and powerful estab-  

lishment, owning many manors, mills,  

salt-workings and fishing and hunting  

rights along the Dee.  

The monks wrote Miracle Plays  

illustrating Biblical episodes, which were  

produced by the city guilds, each of  

which was anxious to outdo its rivals  

in the magnificence of its production.  

Modern drama had its origin in these  

early pageants which played an important  

part in medieval life and education, and  

which continued to be performed until  

the seventeenth century.  

At the Reformation in 1541 Henry  

VIII converted the abbey church into the  

cathedral of the new diocese of Chester,  

and the dedication was changed for the  

last time to Christ and the Blessed  

Virgin.
