The Vatican recognised St Patrick’s as a minor basilica in 1994. The tiara and keys are exclusive symbols of the papacy in ecclesiastical heraldry. The tiara represents the extra-liturgical headpiece worn by the Pope. While the origins of a distinct papal head-dress are debated, the evolution of the three tiers can be dated to the medieval period. Mitres adorned with a crown appear in artwork from the thirteenth century, and Pope Boniface VIII (1294-1303) added a second crown to his tiara to represent his temporal and spiritual power. A triple-crowned tiara is mentioned in an inventory of the Papal Treasury from 1315, suggesting that the third crown was added by either Benedict XI (1303-4) or Clement V (1305-1314). The use of keys to symbolise papal authority also dates from the thirteenth century. For more information, see Bruno Bernard Heim, Heraldry in the Catholic Church: Its Origins, Customs and Laws, (Van Duren, Gerard’s Cross, 1978), pp. 49-55.

Among the features described in more detail are a frieze under the ceiling line ‘with a foliated design introducing quartrefoils and Maltese crosses’, a deep red dado with a medieval acanthus scroll painted in cream, and gold dog roses against a cardinal red background interspersed at regular intervals. The terracotta and cream design painted onto the green balcony is described as ‘Gothic’, and behind the rostrum ‘is a Gothic canopy in deeper tones of colour, with a gold diapered pattern in deep blue, forming a background to the preacher’. The decorations were designed and carried out by J. Ross Anderson, who was also noted for his decoration of the Wesley Church in Perth.

At the end of the article is a section titled “Medieval Health, from this week’s reading”. Following two notes about the injurious historical practice of binding women’s waists and eighteenth-century corsets, this section contains the following curious comment about the perceived absence of psychiatric medicine in medieval England: “As ‘Punch’ points out, ‘The reason that there were no psychiatrists in medieval England is that the country was only sparsely inhabited’”.

It was first written in 1812 and expanded in 1857. It tells the story of a Miller’s daughter who is forced to spin straw into gold on threat of her life for three successive nights. A little man appears and offers to spin the straw for reward. On the first night she gives him her necklace, on the second her ring but on the third she has nothing to give and promises him her first born child. Years later, after she has married the king and has her first child, the man appears and gives the queen three days to guess his name or he will take her child. After two days of guessing to no avail, the queen’s messenger (according to the 1857 version) stumbles upon the man dancing and singing in a house in the forest. The song he sings mentions his name, which the queen correctly reveals the following day. Although no date is given in the tale, the characters - involving a king, a queen and royal knights - and the importance of the spinning wheel are often assumed to indicate a medieval setting.
