All Saints Church (Oxford)

All Saints Church ist eine ehemalige anglikanische Kirche in Oxford, die seit 1975 als Bibliothek des Lincoln Colleges dient. Eine ursprüngliche Kirche All Saints war 1122 als eine der mittelalterlichen Pfarrkirchen der Stadt gegründet worden. Der Einsturz des Kirchturms am 8. März 1700 führte von 1706 bis 1708 zum heutigen Neubau in Form des englischen Barockklassizismus. Als Entwurfsverfasser ist seit dem späten 18. Jahrhundert der Dean von Christ Church und Vizekanzler der Universität Oxford, Henry Aldrich, überliefert. Der Entwurf des zugehörigen Turms geht auf Nicholas Hawksmoor zurück. Der Kirchenbau ist als rechteckiger Saalbau errichtet, dessen Außenbau in klassischer Weise durch Pilasterpaare gegliedert ist, überhöht durch ein Attikageschoss und abgeschlossen durch eine Balustrade. Der straßenseitige Haupteingang im Westjoch der Kirche ist durch einen viersäuligen Portikus mit klassischem Dreiecksgiebel markiert. Die Außengliederung wiederholt sich im nicht unterteilten kastenartigen Innenraum, wo die Wandgliederung eine Flachdecke trägt. Ein besonderes Wahrzeichen stellt der Turmaufbau dar, dessen oberer Aufbau einen antiken Rundtempel ähnlich dem Vestatempel auf dem Forum Romanum oder dem Tempietto von Bramante nachbildet, überhöht von einem achtseitigen Steilhelm. In der zeichenhaften Verwendung historischer Architekturzitate nimmt All Saints eine wichtige entwicklungsgeschichtliche Zwischenstellung zwischen den Londoner Kirchenbauten Christopher Wrens und den nach 1711 entstandenen Bauten des von Hawksmoor geleiteten Programms von Fünfzig Neuen Kirchen in London ein. 1971 wurde die Kirche profaniert und dem Lincoln College überlassen, das das Bauwerk bis 1975 zur Bibliothek ausbaute.

All Saints' Church, Oxford

All Saints Church is a former church on the north side of the High Street in central Oxford, England, on the corner of Turl Street. It is now the library of Lincoln College. This former church is Grade I listed. History The original All Saints Church was founded in 1122 on this site. However, on 8 March 1700, the spire of the church collapsed, destroying most of the building. There was an appeal for funds and the current building, seating 350, was completed in 1720. The building was designed by Henry Aldrich, the Dean of Christ Church. Nicholas Hawksmoor is thought to be responsible for the tower and spire. Four of the original bells survived the collapse. The repairs to the church were very expensive and donations were received from most of the Oxford colleges and also Queen Anne. In 1896, when St Martin's Church at Carfax was demolished (except for its tower), All Saints became the official City Church, where the Mayor and Corporation were expected to worship. In 1946 a Union Jack which had been draped over the coffins of prisoners of war at Batu Lintang camp, Sarawak, Borneo was placed in the church together with two wooden memorial plaques; they were later moved to Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester on Thames. In 1971, All Saints Church was declared redundant and the City Church moved to St Michael at the North Gate. All Saints was then deconsecrated and offered to Lincoln College, located immediately to the north of the church. Since 1975, after conversion, the building has been Lincoln College's library. Library The only major change to the interior of the church during its conversion into a library was the raising of the original floor by over four feet to provide space for the lower reading rooms. The upper reading room is known as the Cohen Room and has an elegant plastered ceiling. The decorations include the shields of the major donors who contributed to the cost of the 18th-century rebuilding. The lower reading room is the science library and the senior library, holding older books. The science section is named after a former Lincoln College Fellow, Howard Florey (1898–1968), instrumental in the development of penicillin, for which he won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. The Library still has a full peal of eight bells, which are regularly rung by the Oxford Society of Change Ringers, founded in 1734. They are also rung for special occasions, such as the election of a new Rector of the College. Headington There is another All Saints Church in the suburb of Headington to the east of central Oxford, on Lime Walk. It was consecrated in 1910.

All Saints Church

La Iglesia de Todos los Santos es una antigua iglesia en el lado norte de High Street en el centro de Oxford, Inglaterra, en la esquina de Turl Street. Ahora es la biblioteca del Lincoln College.​ Está catalogada como Grado I. Historia En 1122 se fundó la iglesia de Todos los Santos.​ El 8 de marzo de 1700 su aguja se derrumbó y destruyó la mayor parte del edificio. Hubo una solicitud de fondos y el edificio actual, con capacidad para 350 personas, se completó en 1720. Fue diseñado por Henry Aldrich, el decano de la Iglesia de Cristo. Se cree que Nicholas Hawksmoor es el responsable de la torre y de la aguja. Cuatro de las campanas originales sobrevivieron al colapso. Su reconstrucción fue muy costosa y se recibieron donaciones de la mayoría de los colegios de Oxford y también de la Reina Ana. En 1896, cuando se demolió la iglesia de San Martín en Carfax (a excepción de su torre), Todos los Santos se convirtió en la iglesia oficial de la ciudad, donde se esperaba que adoraran el alcalde y la corporación.​ En 1946, se colocó una bandera británica que había sido colocada sobre los ataúdes de los prisioneros de guerra en el campo de Batu Lintang, Sarawak, Borneo, junto con dos placas conmemorativas de madera; más tarde fueron trasladados a Dorchester Abbey en Dorchester on Thames.​ En 1971 fue declarada redundante y la Iglesia de la Ciudad se trasladó a San Miguel en la Puerta Norte. Luego, fue desconsagrado y ofrecido al Lincoln College, ubicado inmediatamente al norte. Desde 1975, después de su conversión, es la biblioteca de Lincoln College. Biblioteca El único cambio importante en su interior durante su conversión en biblioteca fue la elevación del piso original en más de cuatro pies para proporcionar espacio para las salas de lectura inferiores. La sala de lectura superior se conoce como Sala Cohen y tiene un elegante techo de yeso. Las decoraciones incluyen los escudos de los principales donantes que contribuyeron al costo de la reconstrucción del siglo XVIII. La sala de lectura inferior es la biblioteca de ciencias y la biblioteca para personas mayores, que contiene libros más antiguos. La sección de ciencias lleva el nombre de un antiguo miembro del Lincoln College, Howard Florey (1898–1968), fundamental en el desarrollo de la penicilina, por la que ganó el Premio Nobel de Fisiología o Medicina. La biblioteca todavía tiene un repique completo de ocho campanas, que son tocadas regularmente por la Oxford Society of Change Ringers, fundada en 1734. También se tocan en ocasiones especiales, como la elección de un nuevo Rector del Colegio. Referencias Otras lecturas Sherwood, Jennifer; Pevsner, Nikolaus (1974).

All Saints' Church, Oxford

All Saints Church är en före detta kyrka på norra sidan av High Street i centrala Oxford, England, i hörnet av Turl Street. Det är nu biblioteket vid Lincoln College. Den tidigare kyrkan är byggnadsminnesmärkt som klass I. Historia Den ursprungliga All Saints Church grundades 1122 på denna plats. Men den 8 mars 1700 kollapsade kyrkans spira och förstörde större delen av byggnaden. Det hölls en insamling av medel och den nuvarande byggnaden, med plats för 350 personer, färdigställdes 1720. Byggnaden ritades av Henry Aldrich, dekanus vid Christ Church. Nicholas Hawksmoor tros vara ansvarig för tornet och spiran. Fyra av de ursprungliga klockorna överlevde kollapsen. Reparationerna av kyrkan var mycket kostsamma och donationer mottogs från de flesta av Oxfords college och även från drottning Anne. År 1896, när St Martin's Church i Carfax revs (förutom dess torn), blev All Saints den officiella stadskyrkan, där borgmästaren och kommunen förväntades hålla sin gudstjänst. År 1946 placerades en Union Jack som hade hängts över kistorna på krigsfångar vid Batu Lintang-lägret i Sarawak, Borneo, i kyrkan tillsammans med två träminnestavlor; de flyttades senare till Dorchester Abbey i Dorchester on Thames. År 1971 förklarades All Saints Church överflödig och City Church flyttade till St Michael at the North Gate. All Saints avvigdes sedan och gavs till Lincoln College, som låg strax norr om kyrkan. Sedan 1975, efter ombyggnaden, har byggnaden varit Lincoln Colleges bibliotek. Bibliotek Den enda större förändringen av kyrkans interiör under ombyggnaden till bibliotek var att det ursprungliga golvet höjdes med över fyra fot för att ge plats åt de nedre läsrummen. Den övre läsesalen kallas Cohen-rummet och har ett elegant putsat tak. Dekorationerna inkluderar vapensköldarna från de stora donatorer som bidrog till kostnaderna för återuppbyggnaden på 1700-talet. Den nedre läsesalen är vetenskapsbiblioteket och seniorbiblioteket, som rymmer äldre böcker. Naturvetenskapssektionen är uppkallad efter en tidigare fellow vid Lincoln College, Howard Florey (1898–1968), som spelade en avgörande roll i utvecklingen av penicillin, för vilket han tilldelades Nobelpriset i fysiologi eller medicin. Biblioteket har fortfarande åtta klockor, som regelbundet rings av Oxford Society of Change Ringers, grundat 1734. De ringer också vid speciella tillfällen, såsom vid valet av en ny rektor för högskolan. Galleri Vidare läsning Sherwood, Jennifer; Pevsner, Nikolaus (1974). The Buildings of England: Oxfordshire.

Rotherham Minster

Das allen Heiligen (All Saints) geweihte Rotherham Minster in der mittelenglischen Großstadt Rotherham in der Grafschaft (county) South Yorkshire ist die zur Church of England gehörige Hauptpfarrkirche der Stadt. Im Jahr 1951 wurde der architektonisch sehr einheitlich gestaltete Kirchenbau als Grade-I-Baudenkmal eingestuft; 2004 erhielt er den offiziellen Status eines Minsters. Lage Das Rotherham Minster liegt im historischen Zentrum der heutigen, bei Sheffield gelegenen Industriestadt, unweit des River Don, eines Nebenflusses der Ouse in einer Höhe von ca. 27 m. Geschichte Bereits vor der normannischen Eroberung war Rotherham ein Marktort mit einer angelsächsischen Kirche. Die Normannen errichteten im 12. Jahrhundert eine deutlich größere Kirche, die im 14. Jahrhundert an den Zisterzienserorden kam, der an gleicher Stelle mit dem Bau einer gotischen Kirche begann. Die heutige Kirche geht jedoch auf einen Neubau in den Jahren 1480 bis 1512 zurück, der vom hier geborenen Thomas Rotherham (von 1480 bis 1500 Erzbischof von York, 1485 Lordkanzler) initiiert und wohl auch bezahlt wurde. In den Jahren 1873 bis 1875 fand eine umfangreiche Restaurierung des Kirchengebäudes statt. Architektur Markantester Bauteil der insgesamt ca. 45 m langen und ca. 55 m hohen Kirche ist der sich auf oktogonalem Grundriss erhebende nicht durchbrochene Spitzhelm. Die dreischiffige und mit einem Querhaus versehene Kirche gehört insgesamt dem spätgotischen Perpendicular Style an, der durch die Dominanz geradliniger vertikaler Linienführungen im Fenster-Maßwerk gekennzeichnet ist. Zahlreiche Fenster lassen ausreichend Licht in das Bauwerk hinein. Die drei Schiffe sind nicht gewölbt, sondern mit originalen hölzernen Flachdecken versehen, die jedoch in den 1970er Jahren restauriert wurden. Ausstattung Beim Altar steht das normannische Taufbecken (baptism font) aus der alten Kirche (um 1100). Das Chorgestühl (choir stalls) ist in Teilen original (um 1520). Die Buntglasfenster stammen allesamt aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Siehe auch Kathedralen und Minsters im Vereinigten Königreich Weblinks Rotherham Minster – Fotos + Infos (englisch) Einzelnachweise
All Saints Church, Shirburn

All Saints' Church is the redundant Church of England parish church of the parish of Shirburn, Oxfordshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building, and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church is at the west end of the village, immediately south of Shirburn Castle, the seat of the Earls of Macclesfield since 1715. The north chapel of the church is the mausoleum of the Parker family, Earls of Macclesfield. History The church dates from the late 11th or early 12th century. Additions and alterations were made in the 13th and 14th centuries. Further alterations took place in the 18th century, when the top stage was added to the tower, and in the early part of the 19th century, when a north transept was added "as a family pew for the Earl of Macclesfield". The church was restored and largely rebuilt in 1876 by T. H. Wyatt. It was declared redundant in 1995 and vested in the Churches Conservation Trust. The church was used in 2011 as a shooting location for the television series Midsomer Murders. Architecture Most of the church is in rendered chalk and flint rubble, and the north transept is in brick. The roofs are tiled. Its plan is cruciform. It consists of a nave with north and south aisles, north and south transepts, a south porch, a chancel with an organ chamber and a vestry to its north, and a west tower. To the south of the tower is a 19th-century circular staircase. On the north side of the tower is a two-light window which is probably Norman. The top stage of the tower is Georgian in style. Above the medieval west window in the bottom stage of the tower is a reset Norman tympanum decorated with a figure-of-eight pattern. In the corresponding position inside the tower is a re-set Norman lintel, decorated with stars, beast heads and foliage. These were placed here in the 1876 restoration. The dates of the windows around the church spread from the 12th to the 19th century. Inside the church are two 13th-century three-bay arcades between the nave and the aisles, and a two-bay arcade between the chancel and the north chapel. In the chancel and the transepts are memorials to the Chamberlain and Macclesfield families, and others. The south transept contains a 14th-century piscina, and in the nave is a 13th-century font with an 18th-century cover. The stained glass in the east window is by Ward and Hughes. The single-manual organ was made in the 1880s by Gray and Davison.

All Saints Church, Thelwall

All Saints Church is in the village of Thelwall, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth. History The origins of a church or chapel at Thelwall are unclear. It has been thought that a chapel was built by Richard Brooke of Norton Priory but a legal suit in 1663 suggests that there was a chapel on the site before this date. At this time Thelwall was in the parish of Runcorn. In 1663 the chapel on the site was restored by Robert Pickering. After this the chapel fell into disrepair. It was restored again and re-opened in 1782. By the following century the church was too small for its congregation and in 1843 a new church was built and consecrated. This consisted of a nave which was designed by James Mountford Allen. In 1856 the chancel was built at the expense of James Nicholson and the nave was extended by one bay. In 1890 Henry Stanton commissioned a new north aisle, a new baptistry with a new font, and a new vestry. The aisle and vestry, together with a north porch, were designed by William Owen. Architecture The church is built in sandstone with steeply pitched slate roofs. Its plan consists of a nave of six bays, a chancel of two bays, a north aisle and a west porch. A west bellcote has one bell. The chancel has a floor of marble and coloured glazed tiles. The reredos has two panels of Biblical scenes in marble which are separated by plaster angels. In the church is a memorial to Edward the Elder who founded Thelwall in 923. This is dated 1907 and is by Eric Gill. The frame of the memorial is by F. C. Eden and Helfar Bros. From around 1884 the organ used had been built by Gray and Davidson, and in 1964 it was rebuilt by Jardine. By the 21st century the electrical control system had deteriorated and this was replaced in 2005 by a solid-state system made by John Lifton. External features The churchyard contains war graves of three soldiers of World War I. See also Listed buildings in Grappenhall and Thelwall References
