St Andrew's Church, Weston-under-Lizard

The Church of St Andrew, Weston-under-Lizard, Staffordshire is a Grade I listed Anglican church. Its origins are medieval, but it was largely rebuilt in the very early 18th century by Elizabeth Wilbraham of Weston Park, and restored in the 19th century, firstly by George Edmund Street and then by Ewan Christian. It remains a functioning parish church in the Diocese of Lichfield. History Historic England records the foundation of the church as medieval. Pevsner describes the church as "an enterprise of Lady Wilbraham...[of] 1700–1". This was Elizabeth Mytton, heiress of the Weston estate, who married Sir Thomas Wilbraham in 1651. A 2010 article in the Architects' Journal by the historian John Millar, describes Elizabeth Wilbraham as "the first woman architect", and suggests that she may have undertaken designs for over 350 buildings, as well as tutoring and collaborating with Christopher Wren. Prevented by the conventions of the time for identifying as an architect, and from taking any public role in construction, Millar suggests that buildings attributed to architects such as Hugh May, Roger Pratt and William Winde, were in fact designed by Wilbraham, with the named architects acting as surveyors to carry out her plans. Millar's views are not universally accepted, and his planned book on Wilbraham has yet to be published. It is generally accepted that Wilbraham undertook designs for a number of buildings for family and friends, including her own home, Weston Park, and the estate Church of St Andrew. St Andrew's continues as a functioning church in the Diocese of Lichfield. Architecture and description Pevsner records that "only the east wall with a 14th century window" remained of the medieval church when Elizabeth Wilbraham begun her reconstruction in 1700. The tower and nave are her work. The tower is of five stages, with a castellated final stage. Historic England describes the nave as "provincial Baroque". George Edmund Street undertook a restoration in around 1869, and the font is his. Further work, including the construction of a family chapel, was done by Ewan Christian in 1876–1877. The chapel, and the church, contain monuments to the Earls of Bradford and their families, who owned Weston Park until 1986. Footnotes References Sources Pevsner, Nikolaus (1974). Staffordshire.

St Mary's Church, Goathland

St Mary's Church is the parish church of Goathland, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A hermitage chapel was built in Goathland in the 11th or 12th century, and a second St Mary's chapel was recorded in 1568. It was demolished in the early 19th century, and a new church was completed in 1820, although it was described in the Victoria County History as "a poor structure". Between 1894 and 1896, the current church was built, to a design by Walter Brierley. It is in the Perpendicular Gothic style, with influence from the arts and crafts movement. The church was grade II* listed in 1969, along with its steps and handrail. The church is built of sandstone with a stone slate roof. It consists of a nave, a south porch, a choir, a south organ chamber and a vestry under a central tower, and a chancel. The tower has three stages, angle buttresses, and a southwest stair turret. On the south front is a doorway with a pointed arch and a three-light square-headed window, and on the north front is a three-light round-headed window with a hood mould. The bell openings have one or two lights, on the north and south fronts are clock faces, and at the top is a plain parapet with moulded coping, and a weathervane. The porch is approached by steps with a wrought iron handrail. Inside, there is a bowl font dating from around 1100, brought from a demolished church in Egton. It has an elaborate timber cover, constructed in 1903. There is a 12th-century altar slab, probably from the hermitage chapel, and a grave slab dating from 1695. The pulpit is 17th century, while the choir fittings are by Brierely, and other fittings including the altar and reredos are by Robert Thompson. The stained glass in the east and south windows is from the early 20th century, while the west windows have stained glass inserted to celebrate the Millennium.

St Mary's Church, Twyford

St Mary's Church, Twyford is a Church of England parish church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the village of Twyford, Hampshire. History The village's first Saxon church is mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086. A Norman church replaced it in the 12th century – this was extensively rebuilt in 1402. In Thomas Moule's English Counties (1837 edition), the church is referred to as "a vicarage, value £12 12s. 8d., in the patronage of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. In the chancel is a mural monument, with a bust, by Joseph Nollekens, in memory of Dr. Jonathan Shipley, Bishop of St. Asaph, who died in the year 1788." A square-headed perpendicular window was added to the church around 1520 and a barrel organ in 1838, replaced by a J. Walker pipe organ in 1867. Population expansion led to the construction of a replacement church to designs by Alfred Waterhouse, completed in 1878 – this used the Norman building's columns, the 1520 window (moved to the vestry's east wall) and the 1402 church's east window (now in the 1924 Lady Chapel), clerestory windows and priest's entrance to the vestry's north side. A new stained glass design was placed in the west window in 1965 and new parish rooms were built below a new gallery at the church's west end in 1995. References
St Mary's Church, Stafford

St Mary's Church, Stafford is a Grade I listed parish church in Stafford, Staffordshire, England. History The church dates from the early 13th century, with 14th-century transepts and 15th-century clerestories and crossing tower. Excavations in 1954 revealed the adjacent late Anglo-Saxon church of St Bertelin. The church was collegiate when recorded in the Domesday Book when there were 13 Prebendary Canons. It became a Royal Peculiar around the 13th century, exempt from the jurisdiction of the Bishop, but this caused conflict and culminated in December 1258 when the new bishop Roger de Meyland came to Stafford with many armed men who forced entry and assaulted the canons, chaplains, and clerks. The church survived as a collegiate institution until the dissolution of colleges and chantries in 1548. Deans of Stafford Post reformation history For several generations the Aston family, who held the Scots title Lord Aston of Forfar, acted as patrons, despite the fact that the entire family converted to the Roman Catholic faith in the 1620s. When the 2nd Lord Aston, who was popular locally, died in 1678, hundreds of Protestants attended the burial at St Mary's of a man they knew to be a Catholic. The church was heavily restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott between 1841 and 1844. Monuments The church contains Chest tomb to Sir Edward Aston d. 1568 Wall tablet to Thomas (d. 1787) and Barbara Clifford (d. 1786) by John Francis Moore Wall tablet to Humphrey Hodgetts (d. 1730) Wall tablet to Izaak Walton (d. 1683) Other burials Edward Stafford, 3rd Baron Stafford Walter Aston, 2nd Lord Aston of Forfar Organ The church has large four manual organ by Harrison and Harrison dating from 1909. It has been awarded a Grade I Historic Organ Certificate by the British Institute of Organ Studies. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. The second organ dates from 1790 when John Geib installed it at a cost of £820. It was rebuilt in 1844 by John Banfield, and then Hill, Norman & Beard in 1974. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.

Kościół św. Marii w Hinckley

Kościół św. Marii w Hinckley – świątynia Kościoła Anglii w Hinckley, nosząca wezwanie św. Marii. Budynek od 8 marca 1963 ma status zabytku klasy II. Parafia należy do diecezji Leicester. Historia Z pierwotnego budynku kościoła nie ocalało nic poza częścią fundamentów. Prawdopodobnie świątynia chrześcijańska istniała w tym miejscu już w XI wieku. Fundatorem kościoła był William FitzOsbern, przybyły tu wraz z Wilhelmem Zdobywcą. Zgodnie z jego wolą, dochody parafii były przekazywane do opactwa Lyre w Normandii. Stan taki utrzymał się aż do 1415 roku, odkąd to dochód zaczął przypadać w udziale opactwu Mountgrace w hrabstwie Yorkshire. Po rozwiązaniu klasztorów w 1542 roku przez króla Henryka VIII, parafia podlegała opactwu westminsterskiemu, następnie w latach 1874–1926 biskupowi Peterborough, a od założenia diecezji Leicester – jej biskupowi. Kościół odbudowano w XIII wieku, inskrypcja wskazuje na rok 1246. Najstarsze istniejące dziś części kościoła to jedna z naw, wieża i prezbiterium, pochodzące z lat 1240–1340. W 1788 roku przebudowano wieżę, kościół był gruntownie restaurowany w latach 1863–1868. Cmentarz Przykościelny cmentarz był używany przez co najmniej 800 lat. Najstarsze nagrobki pochodzą z XVIII wieku. Po otwarciu w Hinckley cmentarza na Ashby Road w 1858 roku zaprzestano pochówków przy kościele. Krwawiący nagrobek Na przykościelnym cmentarzu znajduje się nagrobek Richarda Smitha. Dwudziestoletni wówczas Richard Smith został zamordowany 12 kwietnia 1727 w trakcie kłótni z prowadzącym nabór do wojska Simeonem Stayne. Pokłócili się oni o to, czy gospoda George Inn została tak nazwana dla uczczenia króla Jerzego II, czy też ma za patrona św. Jerzego, patrona Anglii, walczącego ze smokiem. Ponieważ Richard obstawał uparcie przy św. Jerzym, Simeon straciwszy cierpliwość zaatakował go halabardą i zadał mu rany na tyle ciężkie, że Richard zmarł z wykrwawienia. Simeon natomiast został odnaleziony, pojmany i skazany na śmierć za morderstwo. Według miejscowej legendy, nagrobek Smitha w rocznicę jego śmierci pokrywał się „słodką krwią” – wspomina nawet o tym wydany w 1936 roku przewodnik. Zjawisko przestało jednak zachodzić, gdy nagrobek przeniesiono spod muru kościoła w inne miejsce. Prawdopodobną przyczyną powstawania okresowych przebarwień była reakcja chemiczna wywołana kapiącą na nagrobek wodą. Przypisy
St Mary's Church, Dorchester

St Mary's Church, also known as St Mary the Virgin, is a Church of England church in Fordington, Dorchester, Dorset, England. It was built in 1910–12 for a cost of £11,500. The church became Grade II* listed in 1975, while its gate piers have also been Grade II listed from that time. Historic England describe St Mary's as "large and lavish" with a "high quality finish". Newman and Pevsner described it as architect Charles Ponting's "magnum opus". The church is largely built with Purbeck Marble, with some facings and window surrounds in Bath stone. It was designed to accommodate 750 people. History St Mary's Church was built in 1910–12 to replace an earlier one of timber and corrugated iron, known as the Tin Tabernacle, which had been erected at the Top O'Town in 1896–97 to serve West Fordington, during a time when the population of Dorchester and its suburbs was increasing significantly. Fundraising for a permanent church began in 1901 and Charles Ponting drew the plans in 1907. In 1907, disagreements over the church's location emerged between the parishioners and vicar of West Fordington and the Bishop of Salisbury, John Wordsworth: Bishop Wordsworth opposed building at the site of the Tin Tabernacle, believing that the new church would be better positioned further south. After a rearrangement of parochial boundaries, the bishop and West Fordington came to an agreement in 1909 and Mr. J. Foot donated a new site in memory of his father. On 21 April 1910, Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 9th Earl of Shaftesbury, laid the foundation stone of St Mary's; the church was consecrated two years later, on 11 July 1912. St Mary's succeeded Christ Church as the parish church of West Fordington in 1929. References External links Dorchester & The Winterbournes Team Ministry website

St Lawrence's Church, Gnosall

St Lawrence's Church is an Anglican church in Gnosall, Staffordshire, England. It is a Grade I listed building. The earliest parts of the church are of Norman architecture; it later saw a variety of modifications. Early history There was a church here in Anglo-Saxon times; this was replaced by a Norman church. The building is cruciform and has a central tower. The earliest parts, the arches of the central crossing, and much of the walling, date from the 12th century. It is thought it may have been a collegiate church, controlled by the monarch, not by the diocese in which it lies. Later modifications In the 13th century aisles, of three bays, were added to the nave; the triple lancet window and doorway at the west end were installed, and the south doorway. The north transept was rebuilt, with a lower roof (the earlier roofline is visible) and a double lancet window, of the 13th century, in the end wall. The south transept is little changed from the original form. The five-light east window is of the 14th century. In the 15th century the upper part of the tower was built, and the clerestory was added. A lady chapel, with a parapet, was built on the south side of the chancel about 1500. More recently, the porch for the south doorway, designed by Charles Lynam, was built in 1893. The north vestry, designed by Horsley, Huber and Associates of Stafford, was built in the 1990.

St Mary the Virgin (Ingestre)

St Mary the Virgin ist die anglikanische Pfarrkirche von Ingestre in der englischen Grafschaft Staffordshire. Geschichte 1671 erteilte Gilbert Sheldon, Erzbischof von Canterbury, die Erlaubnis zum Neubau der aus dem 13. Jahrhundert stammenden Kirche von Ingestre, die in den Jahren 1673 bis 1676 von Walter Chetwynd neben dem von seinem Vater 1613 erbauten Herrenhaus Ingestre Hall errichtet wurde. Die Einweihung wurde im August 1677 durch Thomas Wood, Bishof von Lichfield, gleichzeitig mit einer Taufe, einer Eheschließung und einer Beerdigung vollzogen, um auf diese Weise die rechtliche Funktion der Kirche als Pfarrkirche zu konfirmieren. In den Jahren 2000 bis 2004 fand nach Insektenbefall des Dachstuhls eine grundlegende Restaurierung, finanziert durch den Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), statt. Architektur Aufgrund einer Zeichnung im Victoria and Albert Museum betitelt Mr Chetwynd's Tower wird der Kirchenbau Christopher Wren zugeschrieben, der mit Chetwynd befreundet und wie dieser Mitglied der Royal Society war. Die Kirche ist zugleich sein einziger nachweisbarer Kirchenbau außerhalb des von ihm durchgeführten Wiederaufbauprogramms von London. Nach seinem Entwurf entstand eine vierjochige, im Innern flachgedeckte Basilika mit Westturm und einem rechteckigen Altarhaus. Die Fenster der Seitenschiffe sind rundbogig, die des Obergadens als Okuli gestaltet, der Turm mit Balustradenabschluss ohne Turmhelm. Im Innern werden die Arkaden von vierteiligen toskanischen Bündelpfeilern getragen, das Mittelschiff wie auch das tonnengewölbte Altarhaus sind mit einer aufwendigen Stuckdecke ausgestattet. Ausstattung Die aus drei Arkaden bestehende Chorschranke, überhöht durch das königliche Wappen, wird Grinling Gibbons zugeschrieben. Die Kirche enthält neben dem Stiftergrab die Grabmäler der späteren Viscounts Chetwynd und Earls Talbot. Das Geläut von sechs Glocken, gegossen von Henry Bagley, wurde 1692 durch Walter Chetwynd gestiftet. Das dreiteilige Fenster des Altarraums enthält eine Darstellung der Geburt Christi, begleitet von Johannes dem Täufer und Johannes dem Evangelisten. Die seitlichen Gedächtnisfenster für Mitglieder der Stifterfamilie wurden von Edward Burne-Jones, Reginald Hallward und Lady Feodora Gleichen entworfen.

Hadley Hurst

Hadley Hurst is a grade II* listed building on Hadley Common road, in Monken Hadley, north of Chipping Barnet. History The house was reputedly designed by Christopher Wren and dates from at least 1707. In 1936 the owner, Gordon Saunders, who at different times also lived at Monkenholt and The Chase, sold land adjacent to the house to the local council who created King George's Field recreation ground. A footpath to the field passes the house on its eastern side. The house is known for the giant cedar trees on the Hadley Common side lawn. The house faces south so that the elevation seen from Hadley Common road is actually the rear of the house.

Remnantz

Remnantz is a country house in Marlow in Buckinghamshire. It is listed Grade II* on the National Heritage List for England. History The main house was built around 1720. In 1799, Colonel John Le Marchant established the Royal Military College, High Wycombe, a school for staff officers. In 1801, Parliament voted a grant of £30,000 for more ambitious proposals, and in 1801 the school for staff officers at High Wycombe became the Senior Department of a new Military College. In 1802, now the first Lieutenant Governor of the College, Le Marchant opened its Junior Department at Remnantz in West Street, Great Marlow. A stable block, just to the south-east of the main house, was built around that time. In 1811, the College moved to Sandhurst as the Junior Department of the Royal Military College. The house was acquired by Thomas Wethered, a brewer, in the first half of the 19th century and it was occupied by Lieutenant Commander Owen Wethered, High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire, in the 1960s. The family business was Thomas Wethered & Sons Ltd, a brewery which operated in Marlow from 1758 until it closed in 1988. Remnantz has been owned by the Bosley family since 2007. References
