St James School, Grimsby

St James School is a coeducational private day and boarding school located in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, England. It comprises a Senior School and Sixth Form. The school is associated with the Church of England Grimsby Minster, dedicated to St James. History Formerly known as St James Choir School, the school was founded on the premises of Grimsby's parish church, St James's (now Grimsby Minster). Canon James Peter Young, curate and later vicar at the church, was influenced by Nathaniel Woodard's education philosophy and established the school in 1880 to educate the church's choirboys. Classes were initially held in the Church's "Aqua Rooms", which became unsuitable. In 1882 the school became St James's College, with the intention of continuing to educate the boys after they outgrew the choir. The original choir school moved to a new site before reuniting with the college in 1904. A pre-preparatory department was added in 1957 and a sixth form and boarding programme two years later. It became an associated Woodard School in 1968 and was incorporated in 1985. Girls were first admitted in 1973 and accepted as boarders two years later. In 1975 "choir" was dropped from the school’s name, as it had now expanded to educate many other pupils, and choristers were a minority. Since 2014, the school has no longer educated the Minster's Choristers, who are now drawn from eleven different schools, and open to all. Boarding Boarding pupils at St. James are housed within Woodard House, a purpose built boarding facility opposite the main school campus. The boarding programme is available to pupils in Year 7 and above.

St James's Church, Reading

St James's Church is a Roman Catholic church situated in the centre of the town of Reading in the English county of Berkshire. The church is located next to Reading Abbey ruins, between the Forbury Gardens and Reading Gaol. St James's Church continues the traditions of Reading Abbey in the post-Reformation era. Its founder was James Wheble, who owned land in the area at that time. The church was designed by the architect A. W. N. Pugin and is one of his first church designs. Parts of the church were built using stones from the Abbey ruins. The design of the church is Norman, a style not normally associated with Pugin, and was probably influenced by the proximity of the Abbey ruins. The exterior of the building is of flint, with ashlar dressings and a Roman tile roof. Construction started in 1837 and the church opened on 5 August 1840. In 1925, the south aisle and the ambulatory round the apse were added. In 1962, the church was further extended by a north aisle into which was relocated the baptistery. The church is a Grade II listed building. St James's Church, along with St William of York's Church, forms a joint parish within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth. The current parish priest (since February 2010) is Canon John O'Shea. Sunday masses are well-attended often with standing room only; the parish boasts a large number of nationalities among its regular congregation. Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, Archbishop of Westminster from 2000 to 2009, was baptised in St James's and served at the altar there regularly as a boy.

St James's Hotel and Club

The St James's Hotel and Club is a hotel at 7-8, Park Place, St. James's, London SW1A 1LP and is part of Pakistani multinational conglomerate Nishat Group, owned by Mian Mohammad Mansha. The hotel has fifty rooms and ten suites, many of which have their own terraces, plus a penthouse with a private balcony. History The current hotel describes itself as having "first opened its doors, as a gentlemen's chamber for the English aristocracy, in 1892". At that time the original St James's Club was elsewhere, and the buildings at 7-8 Park Place were erected as blocks of flats in 1891-92. They were originally planned with forty-four sets of residential chambers, plus service rooms. The sporting Sir John Dugdale Astley, 3rd Baronet, died in his chambers at 7, Park Place, 10 October 1894. Before the building's construction, a club known as the Field Club operated at the 7 Park Place address in 1889. On 13 May of that year, police raided the club and found baccarat in progress. Twenty-one persons were arrested, "among whom were three English and several French and Belgian noblemen..." Among those arrested were the Earl of Dudley (later Governor-General of Australia), William Brownlow, 3rd Baron Lurgan, son of Charles Brownlow, 2nd Baron Lurgan, 'Lord Paulet' (probably a son of the 15th Marquess of Winchester) and Baron Ferraro. By 1960, the 7-8 Park Place flats were being called Old St James's House, a name apparently without historical support. In the spring of 2008, following extensive renovation, the building was reopened as 'The St James's Hotel and Club'. Within the hotel is the renovated and repurposed space St James's Club founded by Peter de Savary, who marketed it to resonate with the panache associated with the historic St James's Club founded in 1857 by Earl Granville and the Marchese d'Azeglio. The team of the St James’s Hotel and Club received the Olympic torch on the day before the opening of the Games. On 5 November 2010, Pakistani Nishat Group bought the hotel for £60 million.

St James, Norton

St James, Norton is the Church of England parish church of the Norton district of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. History The Domesday Book of 1086 records a manor at Norton but not a church. The earliest parts of the building are Norman: the 11th-century inner doorway in the south porch and six corbels, evidently re-set, flanking it on the east and west walls of the porch. The arch over the doorway has zigzag moulding but is heavily restored. If the doorway is 11th-century, the claim by John Charles Cox (1843–1919) that Robert FitzRanulph (circa 1117–72) founded the church can be discounted. The church has a west tower, all but the top of which is Early English Gothic. Also Early English is the baptismal font inside the church. Much of the rest of the church is Perpendicular Gothic. The nave has north and south aisles. The north aisle has five bays and was built about 1200. The south aisle has a three-bay arcade and is 14th-century. East of the south aisle is a south chapel with its own two-bay arcade, which was completed in 1524. In the 19th century the church was restored, the vestry and organ chamber were built and the south porch was rebuilt with a new Gothic Revival vault. The west tower has a ring of eight bells. John Taylor & Co of Loughborough, Leicestershire cast or re-cast them all in 1896, in time for the Diamond Jubilee of HM Queen Victoria in 1897. Churchyard In the churchyard are the base and truncated shaft of a 14th-century stone cross. Its gritstone base, with four steps, and plinth are thought to be original, while its socket stone and shaft are believed to be 18th- or 19th-century replacements. The cross is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and is Grade II listed. In the churchyard is the Chantrey tomb, designed by the sculptor Francis Leggatt Chantrey (1781–1841) and completed on his death in 1841. He is among the family members buried in it. The tomb is also Grade II listed. References Bibliography Cox, John Charles (1875). Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire. Vol. I, the Hundred of Scarsdale. Chesterfield: Palmer and Edmunds. p. 291.

St James Garlickhythe

St James Garlickhythe ist ein auf Garlick Hill im Londoner Innenstadtbezirk City of London gelegenes anglikanisches Kirchengebäude. Geschichte Die erstmals 1170 erwähnte Kirche war aufgrund ihrer Lage zum Themse-Hafen die bevorzugte Kirche mehrerer Gilden, so der der Weinhändler und der Zimmerleute. 1326 stiftete Richard de Rothing, Sheriff von London, für den Neubau. Ein im 15. Jahrhundert gegründetes Kollegiatstift wurde unter Heinrich VIII. aufgelöst und die Kirche in eine Pfarrkirche umgewandelt. Beim Großen Brand von London wurde die mittelalterliche Kirche zerstört und 1676 bis 1683 von Christopher Wren durch einen Neubau ersetzt. Der Innenausbau, eine geschickte Kombination von Längs- und Zentralbau, ist eine reduzierte Version von Wrens Londoner Kirche St Stephen Walbrook, aber ohne deren Kuppel. Der Raum konstituiert sich aus schmalen Seitenschiffen, ausgegrenzt von ionischen Säulen, das tonnengewölbte Mittelschiff ist querhausartig im Mitteljoch durch ein Kreuzgratgewölbe unterbrochen. Der Turmbau wurde 1713 bis 1717 von Nicholas Hawksmoor hinzugefügt. Sein stark aufgegliederter Turmaufbau mit diagonal gestellten gekuppelten Säulen verarbeitet Motive der Westtürme von Wrens St Paul’s Cathedral. Einige Jahre lang wurde in einem Sarg in der Kirche die einbalsamierte, mumifizierte Leiche eines jungen Mannes gezeigt, der 1839 bei Ausgrabungen gefunden wurde. Da niemand wirklich wusste, um wen es sich handelte, bezeichnete ihn der Volksmund im Lauf der Jahre als „Old Jimmy Garlick“. 2012 erhielt die Kirche aus Anlass der diamantenen Regierungsjubiläums von Königin Elisabeth II. ein Geläut aus acht Glocken.

Церковь Святого Иакова (Винтри, Лондон)

Церковь Святого Иакова (Сент-Джеймс Гарликхайт; англ. St James Garlickhythe) — англиканская приходская церковь в квартале Винтри (Сити) города Лондона (Великобритания); впервые упоминается в XII веке, современное здание было построено в 1682—1683 годах. История и описание Самое раннее сохранившееся упоминание церкви Святого Иакова в Винтри содержится в завещании XII века: храм назван «ecclesiam Sancti Jacobi». В других записях церковь упоминается как «Сент-Джеймс в Винтри», «Сент-Джеймс Коминс» или «Сент-Джеймс у Темзы». Название церкви «Garlickhythe» относится к соседнему причалу, на котором в Средневековье продавался чеснок. Корабли, привозившие в Лондон чеснок из Франции, также перевозили и вино: в результате храм имел давние связи с торговцами вином. Так в 1326 году лондонский шериф и винодел Ричард де Ротинг (Richard de Rothing) заплатил за восстановление церковного здания. Компания «Joiners' Company» (Worshipful Company of Joiners and Ceilers) ведёт своё происхождение от местной гильдии, основанной в церкви в 1375 году. В Средние века храм стал местом захоронения для шести лорд-мэров города. Сент-Джеймс стала полностью приходской церковью после роспуска английских монастырей при короле Англии Генрихе VIII. Когда в 1560 году соседняя церковь Святого Мартина в Винтри была разобрана, часть её литургического оборудования и интерьера была перенесена в церковь Святого Иакова. Сент-Джеймс несколько раз ремонтировался и расширялся в течение первой половины XVII века: так северный неф был перестроен в 1624 году, а в 1644 году в здание была добавлена галерея. Храм был полностью уничтожен в результате Великого лондонского пожара 1666 года; восстановление началось спустя десять лет. Храм был перестроен и вновь открыт в 1682 году — он был полностью завершён к 1683 году. Строительство башни-колокольни со шпилем началось годы спустя и закончилось к 1717 году. Общая стоимость строительства церкви с колокольней составила 7230 фунтов стерлингов. В 1860 году писатель Чарльз Диккенс посетил воскресную службу в Сент-Джеймс Гарликхайт, которую он описал в своей работе «Путешественник не по торговым делам». К тому моменту число прихожан сократилось до двадцати человек, а здание «было пропитано сыростью и пылью». 4 января 1950 года церковное здание было внесено в список памятников архитектуры первой степени (Grade I).
