St Benedict's Church, Warrington

St Benedict's Church is an active Roman Catholic church in the Orford suburb of Warrington, Cheshire, England. The parish was founded by Benedictine monks from Ampleforth Abbey. It is now served by clergy from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Liverpool. History A school was established on 10 January 1881 and Mass was said in the school building. Fr. Wilfred Baines O.S.B was given charge of the district 1986 but lived at St Mary's. However, on 8 March 1902 St. Benedict's became a separate parish from St Mary's Church, Warrington and it became the third Benedictine parish in Warrington: the others being St Alban's Church, Warrington (1755) and St Mary's Church, Warrington (1877). Fr Baines moved to a cottage next to the school in 1902. In 1904 a tin mission church was built in the school playground and was opened on 19 June 1904. Fr Oswald Swarbreck OSB became the Rector in 1907 following the departure of Fr Baines. During his tenure a new priory (presbytery) was built on Rhodes Street which was completed on 11 January 1912 at a cost of £1,557. This was then followed by a new church which was formally opened on 11 July 1915 by Cardinal Bourne, the Archbishop of Westminster. The High Altar was consecrated on 27 February 1927 by Archbishop Frederick Keating and had been built by Italian workmen. A new building for social purposes, the Bell Hall, named after the local Warrington martyr, Blessed James Bell was built in 1931 adjacent to the school. In 1943 the church was consecrated after the parish had managed to clear its debt. In 1965 a social club was built adjacent to the church. The last Benedictine Parish Priest was Fr Augustine Measures O.S.B as the Abbot of Ampleforth Abbey surrendered the parish to the Archbishop of Liverpool in Easter 1986. A new school building was built in 1991 and the former school and Bell Hall had been demolished by 1993. On 1 May 2018, St. Benedict's became part of one new combined parish called Blessed James Bell which also incorporates the former parishes of St Mary's and St Oswald's in Warrington.

St Joseph's Church, Stockport

St Joseph's Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It was built from 1861 to 1862 and designed by Matthew Ellison Hadfield. It is situated on St Petersgate, south west of the High Street. Until 31 August 2022 it was the only church in England administered by the Priests of the Sacred Heart at which date it was transferred to be designated as Eucharistic Shrine for the Diocese of Shrewsbury. As part of this change, times for Eucharistic adoration have been made available in addition to the continued life of the parish. The church building is Grade II listed building. History Foundation During the late 18th century, the local Catholic population in Stockport were served by priests from Manchester. In 1798, a Fr James Blundell was saying Mass in a house on Windmill Street. In 1803, a permanent chapel was built on Chapel Street and called St Philip and St James. In the first half of the nineteenth century, the Catholic congregation increased with the influx of workers at Stockport’s mills. In 1845, a priest would come from the chapel (which in 1905 would be replaced by Our Lady and the Apostles Church in Edgeley) to the centre of Stockport to say Mass in a temporary school in Parson’s Yard. In 1858, the schools on Tatton Street were built. They were designed by Matthew Ellison Hadfield and George Goldie. Construction In 1861, the foundation stone for the church was laid by the Bishop of Salford, William Turner. In 1862, a watercolour was made by M. E. Hadfield showing the west end interior of the church. It now hangs in the west end of the nave. In 1888, an industrial school, linked to the church, was built to the south of the school. It was part-funded by the Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk. Parish The church has three Sunday Masses: a 5:00pm Saturday vigil, a 9:00am mass with children's liturgy, and 11:30am with Gregorian Chant. There is weekday Eucharistic Adoration from 7am-9pm and midday mass preceded by confessions from Monday to Friday.

Церковь Святого Фомы Кентерберийского

Церковь Святого Фомы Кентерберийского (англ. St Thomas of Canterbury Church) — римско-католическая приходская церковь в городе Кентербери, графство Кент, Англия. Была построена в 1874—1875 годах в неоготическом архитектурном стиле. Расположена в центре города напротив Кентерберийского собора. Это единственная римско-католическая церковь в Кентербери, построенная на месте средневековой церкви (которая была снесена в 1870 году). В церкви покоятся мощи Томаса Беккета (Фомы Кентерберийского). История Основание В 1859 году в городе начала действовать католическая миссия. Её основание стало возможным после того, как Мэри Энн Вуд подарила католическому священнику здание на улице Бургейт-стрит, нынешний пресвитерий. Земля вокруг дома была куплена позже для строительства церкви и школы. На этом земельном участке была построена средневековая часовня, посвященная Деве Марии. В 1871 году часовня была снесена, хотя её башня стоит по сей день. Строительство В 1874 году начались строительные работы над новой церковью. Она была спроектирована Джоном Грином Холлом, местным архитектором. На дизайн церкви оказал влияние Эдуард Уэлби Пугин, который умер в 1875 году и работал в Хейлз-Плейс в 1860-х годах. Главный алтарь и алтарь Девы Марии были спроектированы А. Э. Пурди. 13 апреля 1875 года церковь была открыта. Первую мессу провёл архиепископ Вестминстерский, кардинал Генри Мэннинг. Значительные структурные изменения в интерьере церкви произошли в 1962/63 годах. Над алтарём расположился витраж с двойной розой под готической аркой. В 1980-х годах работы над внутренним устройством были в основном завершены. Был установлен новый восьмиугольный алтарь из известняка с мраморными колоннами (главный алтарь остался на месте). В святилище была установлена купель. В ложе церкви находится орган, восстановленный в 1990 году. Примечания

St Mary-le-Bow

St Mary-le-Bow ist ein anglikanisches Kirchengebäude in der City of London an der Cheapside. Geschichte Ein erster, archäologisch nachgewiesener angelsächsischer Kirchenbau an dieser Stelle wurde im Jahr 1091 in einem Unwetter zerstört und durch einen Neubau im normannischen Stil, Sancta Maria de Arcubus, ersetzt, für den seine zwei Bögen (lat. arcus, engl. bow) namensgebend waren. Der Kirchturm war prägend für die Silhouette Londons und die Glocken, die berühmten Bow Bells, verkündeten den Beginn der Sperrstunde in der Stadt. Das Gebäude wurde im Großen Feuer von London 1666 zerstört. Die Kirche, die als zweitwichtigste Kirche nach St Paul’s Cathedral galt, wurde nach Plänen von Sir Christopher Wren von 1671 bis 1673 neu gebaut. Der Kirchturm wurde 1680 fertiggestellt. Wie ihr mittelalterlicher Vorgängerbau wurde auch der Kirchenneubau über quadratischem Grundriss errichtet, in dem seitliche Dreierarkaden mit vorgelegten korinthischen Halbsäulen und ein in Holz ausgeführtes und stuckiertes Tonnengewölbe einen gerichteten Binnenraum mit schmalen Seitenschiffen ausbilden. Das im Stil des englischen Barockklassizismus ausgeführte Bauwerk bezieht sich explizit auf Bauwerke der antiken Architektur, die durch zeitgenössische Publikationen bekannt waren. So ist als unmittelbares Vorbild für die Innenraumlösung die römische Maxentiusbasilika belegt. Den Turm bekrönt eine Kopie des Vestatempels in Rom, überhöht von einem Aufbau, der das Mausoleum von Halikarnassos nachbildet und mit einem Obelisken abschließt. Orgel Die Orgel wurde 2010 von dem Orgelbauer Kenneth Tickel (Northampton) erbaut, wobei zwei Register des Vorgängerinstruments wiederverwendet wurden. Das Orgelgehäuse stammt aus dem Jahre 1964; es war für das Vorgängerinstrument der Orgelbaufirma Rushworth & Dreaper's erbaut worden und ist in Anlehnung an Orgeln des 18. Jahrhunderts aus der Werkstatt der Orgelbauerfamilie Silbermann gestaltet worden. Entsprechend der Gehäusegestaltung ist auch das Instrument selbst im französisch-romantischen Stil disponiert. Die Orgel hat 31 Register auf zwei Manualen und Pedal. Die Spieltrakturen sind mechanisch, die Registertrakturen elektrisch. Glocken Es heißt, dass nur, wer in der Hörweite der Glocken von St Mary-le-Bow geboren wurde, ein echter Cockney – ein wahrer Londoner – ist. Die Kirche wurde ebenso wie die Glocken bei einem deutschen Luftangriff auf London am 10. Mai 1941 zerstört. 1956 wurde mit dem Wiederaufbau begonnen. Die Kirche wurde 1964 wiedergeweiht. Die Glocken wurden 1956 von der Gießerei Mears & Stainbank gegossen. Eine Aufnahme der Glocken aus dem Jahr 1926 wird seit 1940 vom BBC World Service als Pausenzeichen bei englischsprachigen Sendungen auch heute noch verwendet.

St Mary-le-Bow

St Mary-le-Bow est une église du XVIIe siècle de la Cité de Londres, dans la rue Cheapside. L'église est connue pour ses cloches. Des fouilles archéologiques ont montré qu'une église existait à cet emplacement dès l'époque saxonne. L'église est détruite en 1091 par une très forte tornade et reconstruite. Sous les Normands, elle prend le nom de St Mary de Arcubus (St Mary of the Arches). Les cloches de l'église, nommées Bow bells, se font entendre très loin et l'église est la plus grande de l'agglomération après la cathédrale Saint-Paul de Londres. L’édifice est complètement détruit lors du grand incendie de Londres en 1666 et reconstruit par Christopher Wren, entre 1671 et 1673, avec un clocher ajouté en 1680. Le maître d’œuvre est Thomas Cartwright, un des entrepreneurs les plus en vue de l’époque. Étymologiquement, un cockney (ou Bow-bell cockney) est défini comme une personne née à un endroit d'où on peut entendre sonner les cloches de l'église. C'est cette distance qui définissait les limites de la ville. L'église et ses cloches sont en grande partie détruites lors du Blitz le 10 mai 1941. La restauration du bâtiment a lieu à partir de 1956. Les cloches sont livrées en 1956 et sonnent de nouveau à partir de 1961. Le 4 janvier 1958, l'église est devenue monument classé de grade I . L'église est de nouveau consacrée en 1964. Description L'église se trouve dans la rue Cheapside. Elle est dominée par sa flèche, qui est terminée en 1673. Sa hauteur est de 68 mètres (223 feet). En haut se trouve une girouette de la forme d'un dragon avec des croix sur les ailes, l'emblème de la Cité de Londres. Elle est ajoutée en 1674. À l'intérieur, se trouve un buste d'Arthur Phillip, le fondateur de la cité australienne de Sydney. Se trouve aussi un mémorial aux membres de la résistance norvégienne qui sont morts dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il est en deux parties ; un plaque commémorative et un relief de Saint Georges et le Dragon par Ragnhild Butenschøn. Hors de l'église, se trouve une statue de John Smith de Jamestown, le fondateur de l'État de Virginie et ancien paroissien de l'église.
