A Medieval Requiem
Back in 2002, some liturgy-minded Anglicans called the Gild of Clerks got together and performed a Requiem according to the lavish medieval Use of York. This was a pre-Tridentine form of the mass not unlike the extravagant Sarum Rite that was sadly extinguished during the Reformation after one hopeful last gasp during the reign of Mary Tudor. Pretty nifty photos: black vestments galore, of course. Check out the mourners, "looking suitably sad," though could somebody explain to me what the anchoress is doing there?
