The Anglican Cathedral at Blackburn in Lancashire has announced that it will hold an exhibition on William Tyndale from 3 September to 18 November 2026, and hold a schools and youth conference on 15th October 2026.
As part of the events it is going to exhibit a copy of Tyndale's 1535 New Testament, on loan from the British Library.
Blackburn is a fairly new diocese within the Church of England created in 1926, to cover northern Lancashire beyond Liverpool and Manchester. The cathedral is a relatively new building having been built as a large parish church in 1826, before being elevated to cathedral status a hundred years later. As such, 2026 is the centenary of the diocese and the bicentenary of the cathedral as well as the 500th anniversary of the printed English New Testament.
