Great article, Dan. Hope you has a good Xmas, and I wish you a Happy New Year.
The lyrics of English hymnody deserve more attention than they receive, so I'm glad they get some here. My fave hymnodist: William Chatterton* Dix. Worth Googling if you're interested in poetry.
*No relation to the tragic boy poet, but given this name by his literary-minded parents
Fascinating on so many levels… Sheffield journalism, Christmas traditions - and that statue in the cathedral yard!
Another great article…
