Description	This edition includes the following news and articles: Cathedral Life: Past and Present: 'Discovering Treasures- The Henrican Chalice'' by Richard Hawker. An article about a Henrican chalice which is part of the Westminster Cathedral collection, and dates back to 1529. This is one of the last Catholic chalices to have been made in England. Cathedral History in Pictures: 'Palm Sunday 1952' by Paul Tobin. An article about the Palm Sunday service which took place in 1952. This was an unusual celebration during which Cardinal Bernard Griffin, Archbishop of Westminster, did not bless the Palms but instead presided at the throne in his cope and mitre where he was attended by two Assistant Deacons and an Assistant Priest. Griffin was recovering from a serious heart attack and it was consequently deemed necessary to reduce his attendance in the Cathedral for the Holy Week ceremonies.
