St Nicholas Cole Abbey

St Nicholas Cole Abbey ist eine anglikanische Kirche im Londoner Innenstadtbezirk City of London. Geschichte Die dem hl. Nikolaus von Myra geweihte Kirche reicht mit ihren Anfängen in das 12. Jahrhundert zurück, ihr Namenszusatz „Cole Abbey“ verweist nicht auf eine monastische Institution, sondern leitet sich von „coldharbour“ als einer mittelalterlichen Herberge ab. Die Kirche wurde 1666 im Großen Brand von London zerstört, aber 1672 bis 1678 als erste der sogenannten Wren-Kirchen wiederaufgebaut. Der Durchbruch der heutigen Queen Victoria Street 1874 machte die Umgestaltung der Südseite zur Eingangsfassade notwendig. Nach abermaliger Zerstörung im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Kirche 1961–62 durch den Architekten Arthur Bailey rekonstruiert und zugleich der obere Teil des Nordwestturms aufgebaut. In den Jahren 1982 bis 2003 diente die Kirche der reformierten Free Church of Scotland. Architektur Das von Christopher Wren errichtete, in seinem Innern flachgedeckte Kirchengebäude stellt ein schlichtes kastenförmiges Bauwerk mit Eckquaderung in Portlandstein dar. Die reicher ausgestattete Südfassade des späten 19. Jahrhunderts wird von rundbogigen Fenstern mit Gesimsabschlüssen und durch eine Balustrade abgeschlossen. Den eingezogenen Nordwestturm bekrönt eine geschweifte Haube, die seit dem Wiederaufbau 1962 als Wetterfahne ein Schiffsmodell von der bereits 1876 abgebrochenen Kirche St Michael Queenhithe trägt.

St Nicolas Church, Abingdon

The Church of Saint Nicolas is a Church of England parish church in Abingdon in the English county of Oxfordshire (formerly within Berkshire). History The church was added to the gateway of the already-existing Benedictine Abbey of Saint Mary around the year 1170, although the oldest remaining piece is reportedly from 1180. While the monks used the abbey church, St Nicolas's was built for their lay servants and tenants. The Normans propagated the cult of Saint Nicholas and many English churches are named after him. The earliest documentary evidence of this church's existence is in a ruling about tithes in 1177 by Pope Alexander III. Saint Edmund of Abingdon revered there as a child and his mother was initially buried there. From its early years, there is evidence that a school used a room in St Nicolas which has links with the founding of Abingdon School. A tower was added and the chancel rebuilt in the 15th century. Parish The church became a parish church in 1372, when the parish of St Nicholas was carved out of the parish of St Helen's. The new parish consisted of scattered pieces of land at Fitzharris, Northcourt and Bayworth, which were granges of the Abbey, as well as a mill on the River Ock and the precincts of the Abbey itself. The purpose of the new parish was to provide an income to the Abbey, after the devastation caused by the Black Death and the sacking of the Abbey in 1327. The two parishes were reunited in 1989 to form the single ecclesiastical parish of Abingdon. For civil purposes the parish joined Abingdon St Helen's to form the civil parish of Abingdon in 1894.

St Nicolas' Church, Kings Norton

St Nicolas' Church, Kings Norton, is the Anglican parish church of Kings Norton, in the Diocese of Birmingham, West Midlands, England. History A church has been located on this site as early as the 11th century when the Normans built a small, rectangular chapel. It is not known if this was the result of a rebuild of a previous church. A church on this site has been recorded in documents since 1213. The current St Nicolas's Church dates from the early 13th century, and the spire was constructed between 1446 and 1475. The Norman building was demolished in the 14th century when a new nave, both aisles and the chancel arch were constructed. In the 17th century, almost the whole of the south aisle was re-built, the chancel was re-roofed and the low pitched roof that covered the nave from the 15th century was replaced by a much steeper version. Both north aisle and south aisle were given four separate, high pitched roofs set side by side. A parish was assigned to the church in 1846. The church was restored in 1863 by Ewan Christian and again in 1871 by W. J. Hopkins. It is a Grade I listed building. In 1898 the church started a mission in Cotteridge which later became St Agnes' Church, Cotteridge. The Revd W. V. Awdry, author of The Railway Series including Thomas the Tank Engine was a curate from 1940 to 1946. The church stands next to the historic buildings of Saracen's Head, recently restored and named Saint Nicolas Place. On 11 October 2021 a plaque was unveiled inside the church bearing an engraving of Thomas. Churchyard The churchyard, which has been extended to the west and (across a private road) to the north, contains war graves of eleven service personnel of World War I and seven of World War II. List of vicars and rectors Bells The church has ten bells with a tenor weight of 17 long cwt 1 qr 6 lb (1,938 lb or 879 kg). The ringing chamber is accessed via a wooden staircase of 54 steps. The ringing practice takes place every Tuesday from 19:45 to 21:00, and Sunday service ringing is from 09:50 to 10:30 There is a poem "The New Bell Wake" about these bells.

St Nicolas Church (Newbury)

Die der Church of England zugehörige St Nicolas Church in der südenglischen Stadt Newbury in der Grafschaft (county) Berkshire ist eine Pfarrkirche mit dem Patrozinium des hl. Nikolaus von Myra; sie ist als Grade-I-Bauwerk eingestuft und gehört zum Major Churches Network. Lage Die etwa 45.000 zählende Stadt Newbury liegt am River Kennet ca. 95 km (Fahrtstrecke) westlich von London bzw. 60 km nördlich von Southampton in einer mittleren Höhe von ca. 90 m; Die St Nicolas Church liegt südlich des Flusses. Geschichte Bereits in normannischer Zeit ist eine Kirche in Newbury erwähnt. Der heutige Kirchenbau entstand auf Betreiben des Textilhändlers John Smallwood († 1510) in den Jahren zwischen 1509 und 1533 in den Formen des späten Perpendicular Style. Während des Englischen Bürgerkriegs (1642–1649) wurde die Kirche als Hospital und Stall genutzt; danach als Gefängnis. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde die Kirche restauriert, doch wurden wahrscheinlich keine baulichen Veränderungen vorgenommen. Architektur Der etwa 25 m hohe Glockenturm (bell tower) tritt zur Hälfte aus der Fassade hervor; er schließt nach oben mit einem Zinnenkranz und vier kleinen Ecktürmchen (pinnacles) ab. Das Innere der Kirche ist dreischiffig und basilikal; ein Querschiff fehlt. Der gesamte Kirchenraum wird von unterschiedlichen gezimmerten Holzdecken überspannt. Der Übergang vom Langhaus zum Chor wird durch Triumphbögen betont. Ausstattung Von der während des Bürgerkriegs weitgehend zerstörten oder geplünderten Ausstattung sind noch das Grabmal des Stifters und die Kanzel (pulpit) erhalten; die Glasfenster stammen nahezu ausschließlich aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Weblinks St Nicolas Church – Fotos + Infos (englisch) Einzelnachweise
St Nonna's Church, Altarnun

St Nonna's Church, also known as the Cathedral of the Moors, is the second largest church on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, located in the village of Altarnun (meaning: "altar of Nonn"). The dedication is to Saint Non or Nonna, who was the mother of St David. The church is mentioned in Daphne du Maurier's Jamaica Inn; it is the church in which the evil vicar of Altarnun Francis Davey depicts himself in a painting as a wolf while the members of his congregation have the heads of sheep. The church is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Trigg Major, the archdeaconry of Bodmin, and the diocese of Truro. Its benefice is united with those of Saint Sidwell and Saint Gulval, Laneast, and Saint Clederus, St Clether. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. History The oldest fabric dates back to the Norman era. Most of the church dates from the later part of the 15th century, at which time the north and south aisles were added. The church was restored in 1867 by E. Sedding. Architecture It is a building largely of the 15th century in the Perpendicular style, with a tower 109 ft (33 m) high. It is notable for the fine Norman font and the amount of old woodwork, including the screen, bench-ends and communion rails which date to 1684. The screen is one of the finest 15th century examples in Cornwall; it has three gates and the cornice of vines and tracery and vaulting are finely carved. The 79 bench-end carvings were executed by Robert Daye between 1510 and 1530 (Pevsner attributes them to 1524 or later) and portray a range of subjects including a Cornish piper and fiddler (Daye's name is given on one but the date is illegible). Also, one of the damaged pew ends was repaired to its former glory by the late local master joiner Douglas Edwards in the 1980s. Langdon (1896) records seven stone crosses in the parish, of which one is in the churchyard. The church has a peal of eight bells. Gallery External features Associated with the church are five structures that are listed at Grade II. These are the northeast entrance to the churchyard, the northwest entrance, the gate, gatepiers, nearby wall and a mounting block at the southeast entrance, and two items in the church yard; the Isbell tomb, and a tombchest and headstone.

L'église Sainte-Nonne d'Altarnun est une église paroissiale anglicane située dans le village d'Altarnun dans le comté de Cornouailles, en Angleterre. Elle est dédiée à sainte Nonne, la mère de saint David. L'église est protégée comme monument classé de Grade I. Historique et architecture La partie la plus ancienne de l'édifice date de l'époque normande. Toutefois, la plupart des éléments, dont les bas-côtés nord et sud, sont ajoutés au XVe siècle.

Cette église de style perpendiculaire possède des fonts baptismaux normands raffinés ainsi que de nombreux éléments en bois, dont le jubé, les extrémités des bancs et la clôture d'autel qui datent de 1684. Le jubé à trois portes, avec ses corniches, son remplage et ses voûtes finement sculptées, est un des plus raffinés des Cournouailles du XVe siècle. Les 79 extrémités de bancs, sculptées par Robert Daye entre 1510 et 1530, représentent de nombreuses scènes, dont un violoniste et joueur de cornemuse cornique. Dans les années 1980, une extrémité de banc endommagée est restaurée par le maître-menuisier local Douglas Edward. D'après l'inventaire de Langdon en 1896, la paroisse compte sept crucifix en pierre, dont un dans le cimetière de l'église Sainte-Nonne. L'église possède un ensemble de huit cloches renfermées dans le clocher de 33 m de haut. Statut paroissial Sainte-Nonne est rattachée au doyenné de Trigg Major et à l'archidiaconé de Bodmin du diocèse anglican de Truro. Le bénéfice de la paroisse est partagé avec ceux de Saint-Sidwell et Saint-Gulval de Laneast et celui de Saint-Clederus de St Clether. Statut patrimonial L'église Sainte-Nonne est enregistrée comme monument classé de Grade I sur la National Heritage List for England.

St Olaf's Church, Poughill

St Olaf's Church is a Church of England parish church in Poughill, Bude, Cornwall. It is a Grade I listed building. History The font dates to the 13th century. The south aisle dates to the 14th and 15th centuries. The porch and west tower are dated to the 15th century. The studded door is dated to the 16th century. The church seats 300 persons and is dedicated to the Norwegian King and so-called Martyr, St Olaf (Olaf II of Norway). At the restoration in 1928 the foundations of the original Norman church were uncovered but nothing of this remains above ground. The pillars on the north side and south arch of the nave are of Caen stone (14th century); those of the south side are granite (15th century). The piscina and aumbry in the south chancel are 13th century. Inside the church is a wall of frescoes. The frescoes date from about 1470, and depict St Christopher: they were discovered in 1894 beneath the whitewash. Such paintings were once common in churches; the Poughill accounts record the washing-out of the figures in 1550 at the time of the Reformation in the reign of King Edward VI. According to the legend, St Christopher was a heathen giant who, on turning Christian, was instructed by a holy hermit to carry travellers over a dangerous ford, and who, one stormy night carried the child Jesus on his shoulder. Organ A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. Vicars The Ven. Percy Ashford was Vicar of Poughill before he became Chaplain General of Prisons. References
St Olave's Church, Chester

St Olave's Church is a redundant Anglican parish church located in Lower Bridge Street, Chester, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History The church was founded in the 11th century. Its dedication is to the 11th-century patron saint of Norway, St Olaf. At the time that the church was founded, the area around Lower Bridge Street was largely occupied by Scandinavians, and it is thought that this is the reason for the dedication. The present church building dates from 1611. In 1841 the parish of St Olave's was united with that of St Michael's, and the church closed. The building was restored in 1849 by James Harrison and converted into use as a school. It was declared redundant by the Church of England on 3 October 1972. It has since been used as the Chester Revival Centre, a Pentecostal church, and as an exhibition centre. Architecture Constructed in red sandstone with grey slate roofs, the church has a simple rectangular plan. On the west front is the entrance door, above which is a three-light window, and a bellcote on the gable. Along the sides of the church are rectangular windows. The interior is also simple, with plastered walls that lean outward. Ten steps lead up to the west entrance from St Olave's Street to the north of the church. In front of the church is a wall that originally supported a building in front of the church. The wall and its wrought iron railings are included in the listing.

St Olave's Church, Silver Street

St Olave's Church, Silver Street was a church on the south side of Silver Street, off Wood Street in the Aldersgate ward of the City of London. It was dedicated to St Olaf, a Norwegian Christian ally of the English king Ethelred II. The church was destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666 and not rebuilt. History The first reference to the church, in the twelfth century, refers to it as "St Olave de Mukewellestrate" from its proximity to Monkwell Street. John Stow described it as "a small thing, without any noteworthy monuments". It was rebuilt in 1609 and repaired 1662, at a cost of £50 7s 6d. It had a small churchyard, and owned another piece of land for burials in Noble Street, which, from its connection with the Barber Surgeons, was known as the "anatomizer's ground". From 1540 the Barber Surgeons carried out dissections at Monkwell Street for the purpose of anatomical teaching. The church was destroyed in the Great Fire and not rebuilt. Instead the parish was united with that of St Alban, Wood Street. The site is now a garden, at the end of Noble Street. A late 17th-century tablet marks the spot where it once stood, off London Wall, near the Museum of London. Shakespeare’s Lodgings William Shakespeare lived on Silver Street renting from Christopher and Mary Mountjoy with his tenancy commencing in 1604. The Mountjoys made luxury headdresses and theatrical costumes. It is thought he wrote King Lear, Othello and Measure for Measure whilst living there. Today, located in the gardens, there is a plaque marking Shakespeare’s habitation at the location.

St Olave’s Church (York)

Die St Olave’s Church in York ist eine Pfarrkirche der Church of England. Sie befindet sich in Marygate bei St Mary’s Abbey und ist ein Grade I listed building. Geschichte Die St Olave’s Church befindet sich innerhalb der Mauern der St Mary’s Abbey, die bei der Auflösung der englischen Klöster zerstört wurden. Sie ist Olav II. Haraldsson gewidmet, dem Patron Norwegens. Die Angelsächsische Chronik berichtet unter dem Jahr 1055: „Dieses Jahr starb Siward, Earl of Northumbria in York; und sein Körper liegt im Münster von Galmanho, das er selbst im Namen Gottes und des hl. Olave zur Ehre Gottes und all seiner Heiligen errichten und weihen ließ“. Galmanho ist ein alter Name für das Gebiet, in dem die Kirche steht und es wird angenommen, dass Siward hier seine Residenz in York hatte. Es ist die erste Erwähnung einer Olaf geweihten Kirche überhaupt. Die St Olave’s Church wurde im 15. Jahrhundert umfassend umgebaut. Umfangreiche Reparaturen wurden in den 1720er Jahren durchgeführt, einschließlich des Einfügens von Fenstern im Nordschiff, deren Mauer früher als Teil der Abtei und später der Stadtbefestigung gedient hatte. Die Kirche wurde 1848–1849 renoviert und am 14. Februar 1849 der Öffentlichkeit wieder zugänglich gemacht. Die Kirche wurde ab 1887 erneut renoviert. Nach einer Schließung von 5 Wochen wurde die Kirche am 2. September 1888 wiedereröffnet. Die Decke aus Latte und Gips, die den Mittelgang des Kirchenschiffs bedeckte, wurde entfernt. Die Säulen, Bögen und Nord- und Westwände wurden von Farbe und Gips befreit. Ein neuer Chor wurde 1887–1889 von George Fowler Jones, einem Yorker Architekten, hinzugefügt und 1906 erweitert. Dieser enthält das Ostfenster aus dem 15. Jahrhundert. Trotz dieser Veränderungen ist der Baustil weitgehend der des 15. Jahrhunderts. Bestattungen Siward, Earl of Northumbria Weblinks Anmerkungen
