Four hundred years since the King James translator who is buried here.
FestivalLecture / talkHistory
Lancelot Andrewes translated the first five books of the Old Testament for the King James Bible, and his 1622 Epiphany sermon is the source of T. S. Eliot's Journey of the Magi. He was Bishop of Winchester, whose London palace stood beside this church, and he died there in 1626; he is the only Bishop of Winchester buried here, to the right of the Great Screen. The weekend has a display of his books from the cathedral collection with facsimiles lent by Lambeth Palace Library, a Book of Common Prayer eucharist using one of his own sermons, a walking tour of his London from Cannon Street station at 10:30 (from £10) and a cathedral tour at 11:00 (from £7), and a free talk on his preaching at 14:00.
