St Aidan's Church, Bamburgh

St Aidan's Church is a Grade I listed Church of England building in the Diocese of Newcastle. History According to Bede, St Aidan built a wooden church outside the castle wall, on the site of the current church, in AD 635, and he died here in AD 652; (a wooden beam preserved inside the church is traditionally said to be the one on which he rested as he died). The present church dates from the late 12th century (though some pre-conquest stonework survives in the north aisle). The chancel, said to be the second longest in the country (60 ft), was added in 1230; it contains an 1895 reredos in Caen stone by W.S. Hicks, depicting northern saints of the 7th and 8th centuries. Note that after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the mid 1500s, the monks were forced to leave. After the Reformation, St Aidan's became the parish church for the village but its maintenance was neglected; by 1600, it was in poor condition. Repairs were eventually completed. Over the subsequent centuries additional repairs were undertaken, including significant restorations during the 1800s, the last one in 1895. The church's crypt holds the remains of 110 individuals who died in the 7th and 8th century; they had originally been buried in the castle's Bowl Hole graveyard. The remains were found during a project between 1998 and 2007. Finally, in 2016, they were moved into the crypt. Since November 2019, the crypt can be viewed by visitors through a small gate. An interpretive display and digital ossuary are also available for visitors as "Accessing Aidan"; they are managed by the Bamburgh Bones consortium: the Bamburgh Heritage Trust, St. Aidan's Parochial Church Council, Northumberland Coast AONB Partnership and Northumberland County Council. Memorials The church contains a 14th-century tomb recess with an effigy of a Knight. There are wall monuments to: Sir Claudius Forster, 1st Baronet of 1623, the Forster family of 1711, the Sharpe memorial 1839 by Chantrey. The north aisle contains an effigy of local heroine Grace Darling dating from 1844 by Charles Raymond Smith. This formed part of the original Monument to Grace Darling in the churchyard but was later replaced due to deterioration of the stonework. The memorial is placed so that it can be seen by passing ships, and is by Anthony Salvin and Charles Raymond Smith, 1844. The churchyard contains one Commonwealth war grave, of an airman of World War II. The church also holds a brass plaque to historian Arthur Lionel Smith and a memorial to Major General George Younghusband. Organ The church had a two manual pipe organ by Harrison and Harrison dating from 1883. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. Gallery References

It was designed by Alfred Bullen of Weightman and Bullen, with assistance from Jerzy Faczyński. It was built to serve the housing estate of Speke, which had been started in the 1930s, and which was expanded in the 1950s. Architecture Exterior The church is built on a reinforced concrete frame, with cladding in brick. It has a rectangular plan with a free-standing sanctuary. To the north is a campanile 84 feet (26 m) high, joined to the body of the church by a low entrance range. To the south of the church is a Lady Chapel, also joined to the rest of the church by a low range. The body of the church is surrounded by tapering concrete pilasters. Between the pilasters, the lower part is in brick, and the upper part is glazed. The windows have curved heads, forming an arcade around the building. The campanile is in brick, and divided by concrete bans into four stages. The top stage contains a bell, and is open between mullions. Surmounting the campanile is an illuminated cross. Interior Inside the church are tunnel vaults on three sides with a segmental arcade carried on square columns; this forms an ambulatory. The roof is flat and trabeated, with pyramidal acoustic panels. The floor is in terrazzo, with the sanctuary area raised and in marble.

It is listed at Grade II, which is the lowest of the three grades, and includes buildings that "are nationally important and of special interest". The listing description states that the building is "on an unusually broad and ambitious scale that is relatively little altered". Pollard and Pevsner in the Buildings of England series are of the opinion that the church is the best building on the Speke estate, "though it is unshakeably redolent of a sports hall and boiler chimney". The church claims to be the first Roman Catholic church in England to be completed to a rectangular plan with a free-standing altar. See also Grade II listed buildings in Liverpool-L24 References

St Andrew's Church, Walberswick

St Andrew's Church is a Grade I listed building in Walberswick, Suffolk. It is an active parish church in the Church of England. History The church has a fine 15th-century tower. The building originally comprised a nave and chancel, with an eighteen-bay clerestory and six-bay north and south aisles. When the prosperity of the village suffered, there were insufficient funds to maintain the church, and in the 1690s, the parish obtained permission to demolish the old church and build a much smaller one. This was funded by the sale of lead from the roofs and the bells from the tower. The newer church now sits within the ruins of the old. Parish status The Parish of Walberswick is part of the Sole Bay Team Ministry, along with seven other parishes: Holy Trinity Church, Blythburgh St Margaret of Antioch's Church, Reydon St Andrew's Church, Sotherton St Lawrence Church, South Cove St Edmund's Church, Southwold St Mary's Church, Uggeshall St Peter and St Paul's Church, Wangford Organ The former organ was transferred to St. Mary the Virgin, Great Bradley, around 1959 when the present instrument was installed. The organ, which has two manuals, is located in the chancel. Further details are available on the National Pipe Organ Register. References

St Anne's Church is in Overbury Street, Edge Hill, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is an active Roman Catholic parish church in the Archdiocese of Liverpool. In 1999 its parish was combined with that of the Church of St Bernard. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History St Anne's was built between 1843 and 1846, designed by Charles Hansom, and built by the monks of Downside Abbey. It was enlarged in 1888–89 by Pugin and Pugin, who added a chancel, an apse, and two transepts, and in 1893 by Peter Paul Pugin who added a baptistry. At an unknown date its care passed from the monks of Downside Abbey to those of Ampleforth Abbey, and in 1950 the church became part of the Archdiocese of Liverpool. In 1969 the interior of the church was reordered, with the removal of the baldacchino and altar rails, and the installation of an altar. Architecture Exterior The church is built in red sandstone, and has a slate roof. Its style is early Decorated. The plan consists of a six-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles with lean-to roofs, north and south transepts, an apsidal three-bay chancel, and a west tower. The tower is supported by angle buttresses, and has an octagonal stair turret on the southeast corner. It has a west entrance with four orders, above which is a four-light window and a canopied niche. The bell stage contains pairs of two-light louvred bell openings. Pollard and Pevsner comment that the tower is prominent, but that it looks as though it is "sliced"; this is because the intended spire was not built from fear of subsidence. The aisles have two-light windows along the sides, and three-light windows at the west ends. The clerestory contains quatrefoils under pointed arches. In the transepts are two-light west windows, and five-light north and south windows. The windows contain geometric tracery. Interior Inside the church, the arcades are carried on quatrefoil columns.

In the church is a three-manual pipe organ built originally by Henry Willis and Sons and Lewis and Company. This was rebuilt and modernised in 1958, again by Willis and Sons. Associated features In the churchyard is a stone memorial to two members of the Linford family who died, respectively, in 1849 and 1855. It was designed by A. Murphy, and consists of an octagonal pillar standing on a plinth. It contains a niche under a canopy, and at the top are two sculpted figures, considered to be the Virgin Mary and St John.
