Let me give you some clues as to where we are this week. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:06 | |
We're in one of the world's leading areas for exhibiting sculpture. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
You can find cutting edge architecture that is transforming the city. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:18 | |
It's world famous for producing this, forced rhubarb. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
The cathedral is reopening after a thoroughly modern makeover. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
You might be surprised to learn we are in West Yorkshire. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
Welcome to Wakefield. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
In this week's Songs Of Praise, I'll be finding out | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
how the enterprising people of Wakefield are transforming their city. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
I'll be visiting the Hepworth Wakefield | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
to learn how faith inspired the city's most famous daughter. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
We step inside the newly transformed cathedral. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
In the week we celebrate St George's Day, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
our congregation have dressed especially for the occasion. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Like many former coalmining areas, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
Wakefield has been down on its luck in recent years. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
But all that is changing. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Thanks to an enterprising spirit, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
the city is enjoying a period of regeneration | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
and there's a real positive feeling as you talk to people here. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
Stepping up onto centre stage is Wakefield Cathedral. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
After a year-long renovation project, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
it's ready to reveal its new look nave. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
In January last year, the congregation sat in the pews for the last time. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
After the service, the nave was closed | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
and the main doors were locked. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
15 months later, the first stage of work is complete. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
I don't know about you but I can't wait to see inside. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
We've been wondering in recent weeks whether the darkness would ever end | 0:01:51 | 0:01:56 | |
but with luck, and God's blessing, the light will come. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
Three, two, one... | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
ALL: Ah! | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
What did you think when they first said, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
we're going to renovate the church and take out the pews? | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
I was devastated. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
What do you think of it now? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
I think it's wonderful. I really do. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
There was a lot of people that didn't like the pews going | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
but I'm sure they will have all come to terms with it. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
It's wonderful to be here at the start of a new era | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
but to many people of course, tradition is just as important. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
Last Tuesday was St George's Day and we begin with a hymn | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
written especially for England's patron saint. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
To accompany us, we have members of the Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Brass Band, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
recently crowned Yorkshire champions. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
The man with the vision and determination | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
to oversee the £3 million project to create a 21st-century nave is the Dean. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:47 | |
I've been amazed and delighted how so many different people have come together in the project. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:53 | |
People from all over the city who hadn't been in here before | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
have rallied round to help it happen. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
Why was it necessary? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
A lot of the infrastructure was failing so one motivation | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
was to actually safeguard the building for the future. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
The second is, this cathedral belongs to the whole community | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
and we wanted to make a space where we could use it for the whole community | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
and where they'd all be welcome. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
The pews very important to some people. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
Ingrained with history and for some people, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
it's just not a proper cathedral if there aren't pews there? | 0:05:23 | 0:05:29 | |
I quite liked them but we needed flexibility | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
and you cannot have flexibility with pews, so they had to go. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
When you undertake a project like this, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
you have to be aware of what you're leaving behind as well. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
How did you set about protecting that? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
I thought, 2012 is a leap year, we'll have a project, 366 days, | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
and we'll try and get a different photographer to come in each day and take a photo. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
And we did that and we created a website | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
and I think it's been a marvellous way of bringing the whole community into the project. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:01 | |
Local amateur photographer Mick Wilson | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
had never been inside the cathedral before volunteering. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
I took two photos, I came in twice | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
and the one I did on 16 December, I asked if I could dedicate that | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
to the memory of my great niece who sadly died at birth in October. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
The cathedral were glad to do that and they said prayers for her, | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
for Olivia May. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
It was nice. The whole family found it a loving, caring thing to do. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
The idea of doing something on January 6th, on Epiphany, | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
when we celebrate the visit of the Magi. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
I just thought, if I could find that phrase, the three wise men. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
When I found these guys out here laying the stone, | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
I just thought it would be great fun. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
It was brilliant, absolutely brilliant. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
I loved the fact that you could come and spend as long as you wanted | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
just wandering around and taking photographs. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
There was a window where people could peer in. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
I noticed that there was a woman there. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
I thought, "Wow, let's take a photograph of this." | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
I posted it up on the 366 Days website which said, "Peering In!" | 0:07:09 | 0:07:15 | |
This, you see, gives us a tremendous documentary, | 0:07:15 | 0:07:21 | |
not only on how the nave is changing, | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
but how the cathedral remained very much alive, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
right through the time the work was going on. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
This area, closer to the high altar, | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
will be the next part of the cathedral to get a makeover | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
and while building work was going on down there in the nave, | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
for services, everybody had to squeeze in here. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
Among those working hardest to keep things running smoothly are the choir. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
# My soul doth magnify the Lord... # | 0:09:41 | 0:09:47 | |
It kind of added percussion, if you like, | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
with the hammers and the sawing and whatever, | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
so when we've been practising for Evensongs, it has been quite noisy. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:57 | |
I remember quite recently | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
that there was so much dust in the cathedral | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
that we couldn't wear our surplices, the white robes that we wear, | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
because all the dust would just gather on the surplices | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
and essentially make them black. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
We weren't allowed the heating on so it was absolutely freezing. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:19 | |
You could actually see your breath coming out of your mouth | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
and that was really quite freaky sometimes. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
But it didn't really affect our singing at all. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
It still sounded pretty good. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
That characteristic sound of young voices singing choral music | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
is of course a wonderful heritage of our country | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
and it's celebrated every year when young people | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
sing for the title of BBC Radio 2 Young Chorister Of The Year. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
If you're a chorister or know someone who is, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
you can find full details of the competition on the Songs Of Praise website | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
and just click on Radio 2 Young Choristers Of The Year 2013. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
I was chosen to be a finalist in 2011. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:02 | |
That presented me with a brilliant opportunity | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
to go and sing in St Martin in the Fields in London. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
I would recommend entering for anybody, | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
because it was definitely a fantastic experience which I would love to do again. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:17 | |

Just down from the cathedral by the River Calder | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
is a stunning new art gallery, the Hepworth Wakefield. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
The gallery has been an extraordinary success story, | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
drawing visitors from all of the world, generating millions of pounds for the local economy | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
and putting Wakefield on the map. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
The Hepworth Gallery takes its name from Dame Barbara Hepworth. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
Born in Wakefield in 1903, she went on to become | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
Much of her work has a spiritual element. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
I really think all good works are an act of praise | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
and they are essentially religious throughout the history of man, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
from the cave drawings. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
One of the gallery's biggest supporters has been Stephen Platten, | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
the Bishop of Wakefield. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
One of the things I'd say about regeneration here in Wakefield | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
is that we desperately needed it. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
The coal industry, the woollen industry had died | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
and so economic and social regeneration have been crucial. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
But those on their own aren't sufficient. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
There is a sense that you need spiritual regeneration. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
In a purely religious way, in the background of Christianity, | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
but it can also mean more than that in a way that... | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
OK, it's always important to have enough money in your pay packet | 0:15:24 | 0:15:29 | |
but there's a stage beyond that where somehow | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
our hearts need to be taken and lifted up. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
If you look at a piece like the Crucifixion we have here though, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
you might not identify it as anything to do with the Crucifixion. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
You might not although of course, if you look at it, | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
there's an obvious cruciform structure to it | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
and one of the things she herself said about it | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
was that she wanted something | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
that somehow represented what crucifixion was, | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
but also something that you could almost walk into. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
But I very much wanted to make a crucifixion which enabled one | 0:15:57 | 0:16:03 | |
to recognise the figure of Christ on the cross | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
and the rudimentary forms. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
And to bring one, as it were, to one's knees. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
So in a way, this captures, in a modern context, | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
that sense of Christ's suffering | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
happening through very ordinary objects. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
Well, I think looking at the view behind me now, | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
where you actually see the cathedral framed by the crucifixion | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
by Hepworth, is really rather a marvellous characterisation | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
of what that might be about. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
She was born here in Wakefield and baptised in the cathedral. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
-Did she draw her inspiration for her work from here? -Unquestionably. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:48 | |
In two rather different ways. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
First of all because of the Yorkshire landscape. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
Even around here where people, I suppose, | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
think much more of mills and mines, | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
actually, of course, there's marvellous countryside | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
outcrops of rock and so all of that will have helped her | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
in her artistic inspiration. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
Created in Yorkshire is a cooperative | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
set up by Lynne Thompson. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
Members work at home to produce a range of crafts | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
and then they share duties to ensure the shop is staffed and organised. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
At a time when many high streets are struggling, | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
Lynne is confident that an enterprising spirit | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
and plenty of hard graft can bring colour and inspiration to the city. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
I just love it. I just love the shop. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
I love the fact that we're sort of bringing something | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
that's unique to Wakefield. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
I think that Wakefield's sending out a message that we're no longer going to be a town that's dying. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:08 | |
That's what we are, we're a community and to stand in the background, | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
watching the different members, they're all helping each other. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
Catherine Knowles is one of the founder members | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
of Created in Yorkshire. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
I take a copy of a child's drawing. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
It could be a family portrait or their favourite place or a pet, | 0:20:25 | 0:20:30 | |
anything, you know, the wonderful pieces of artwork that children do. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
And parents give them to me and I translate them directly onto fabric | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
so you end up with an embroidered version. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
Community, for me, is about having things in common with people. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
Things that bring you together and things that you can share. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
So it doesn't have to be the community of people who live on your street. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
Many of us don't know our neighbours any more and certainly, | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
in our house, we haven't lived in our town for very long | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
so we don't have a very tight local community. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
The three things that keep us are our school and church | 0:21:02 | 0:21:07 | |
and Created in Yorkshire. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
Those are the parts of my life where I feel part of a bigger group. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
I think Wakefield is a wonderful place. It's got lots of promise. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
There's lots of regeneration in the city | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
and I think Wakefield is definitely back on the map. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
Replacing the floor of the cathedral | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
provided an opportunity to install a new spiritual tool, a labyrinth. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:19 | |
A labyrinth's a sacred path. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
They've been used by different religions, | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
different cultures over many centuries. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
I hope that this will be another tool in which people can feel welcome | 0:24:27 | 0:24:32 | |
and they can encounter the divine. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
It can be used by people who have a Christian faith | 0:24:34 | 0:24:39 | |
or another faith or no faith at all. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
It's absolutely gorgeous! | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
How lovely that the community are going to have such an instrument. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:52 | |
I'm open to the process and, yeah, we'll see what happens. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
Hoping it's going to be peaceful. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
A bit of peace, yeah. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:00 | |
The journey into the centre is about releasing the things | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
that are dragging you down. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
And then when you reach the centre of the labyrinth, | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
it's about listening to the divine. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
And then the journey out of the labyrinth is about returning, | 0:25:12 | 0:25:18 | |
returning to our everyday lives. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
That was amazing. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
Peaceful, beautiful, joyful. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:28 | |
It's made me smile. Erm, surprisingly touching. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:33 | |
It made me think about my life really, basically. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
That you're following a path and that's how I felt | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
when I walked in the labyrinth, yeah. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
It's like a journey into the labyrinth and in a sense, | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
taking God with you. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
Reaching the centre and then bringing him with you out | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
so in a sense, God's around you all the time, | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
on all the journeys throughout your life. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
Singing for us now from the centre of the labyrinth | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
we have Jonathan Viera. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
I looked down and there was this labyrinth | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
and actually this song is I Want Jesus To Walk With Me, | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
incredibly appropriately. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
A story about our humanity really, in our sorrows, in our joys, | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
in our trials, he walks with us. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
That is the kind of mystical and wonderful belief | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
that we as Christians have and I love the song. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
It's simple and it's a great song | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
and I'm playing with my fantastic son so there we go. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |

Before we leave Wakefield Cathedral, | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
you may be wondering what they did with all the pews. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
They were turned to crosses like this one | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
by inmates at Wakefield Prison | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
and were then handed out to the congregations of local churches. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:29 | |
It's a lovely reminder of our trip here | 0:30:29 | 0:30:32 | |
and what better way to finish than a hymn written by this gentleman, | 0:30:32 | 0:30:36 | |
William Walsham How, the first Bishop of Wakefield | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
when this ancient All Saints Church | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
was granted cathedral status in 1888. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
Next week, David meets actress Danniella Westbrook, | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
