St John Timberhill

St John the Baptist's Church, Timberhill, often shortened to St John Timberhill, is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Ber Street, Norwich. History The church is referred to by early writers as 'St John ad Montem or 'at the Hill', 'St John at the Castle-gate', and 'St John by the Swine-market'. In 1783 the church was described as consisting of "a nave thatched, a chancel tiled, a south porch and two ailes, with chapels at their east ends, leaded". The tower was square and had five bells. Some 11th-century fabric remains at the east end, but the building as it stands dates mainly from the 15th century. It is built of flint and brick with stone dressings. All the windows were refaced or replaced in the Victorian period. The nave roof is now tiled. The tower collapsed in 1784 and a stone bellcote was built to replace it in 1877. Organ The church contains an organ which has been much modified during the 20th century. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Redenhall

The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Redenhall (St. Mary's Church) is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Redenhall, Norfolk. It is the mother church of the large ecclesiastical parish of Redenhall-cum-Harleston and Wortwell, with the smaller church of St John the Baptist in Harleston originally being a chapel of ease to Redenhall. History The site of St Mary's, Redenhall has been used for worship for around 1000 years or more, with the lines of an earlier round-tower church of Saxon or Norman date discovered in 1858 beneath the nave arcades and chancel step when a new heating system was being installed. The chancel is the oldest part of the present building, dating from the early 1300s and possibly built as an addition to an earlier church. Maintenance of the chancel was responsibility of the rector, the present chancel's benefactor reported to be William de Neuport (rector 1319–26). The 15th and 16th Centuries saw a period of grand church building and rebuilding throughout East Anglia, the present nave and aisles dating from this time. Construction of the crowning glory of the church, its magnificent tower, was started in c.1460, with several bequests for its construction being received between 1469 - 1514. The tower is 106 feet (32 metres) high to the top of the pinnacles. References External links Church website
Drewe Arms

Das Drewe Arms ist ein Pub an der Nordseite von The Square in Drewsteignton in Devon, das im Grade II* als Listed Building eingestuft ist. Möglicherweise befand sich an dieser Stelle bereits im 16. Jahrhundert ein Gasthaus. Das noch heute bestehende Gebäude wurde im 17. Jahrhundert gebaut und Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts modernisiert. Das Bauwerk ist ein Lehmwellerbau auf einem steinernen Sockel; einer der Schornsteine wurde aus Granit gebaut. Das Dach ist eine Kombination aus Reet, Wellblech und Schiefer. Der Grundriss ist T-förmig, wobei auf den Haupttrakt drei Räume – die Küche, der Hauptraum und die Bar – entfallen. An der Rückseite des mittleren Raumes befindet sich eine Treppe. Es scheint, dass der Mittelbau ursprünglich ein offenes Hallenhaus war. Die seitlichen Anbauten stammen vom Ende des 19. und Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. In ihnen befinden sich Lagerräume, Keller und Toiletten. Die Innenausstattung wurde im 19. Jahrhundert weitgehend erneuert, doch seitdem fand keine weitere Modernisierung statt, und ein Teil der Holzarbeiten aus dem 17. Jahrhundert sind noch erhalten. Die Schanklizenz für das Drewe Arms stammt aus dem Jahr 1890, damals hieß es „New Inn“. Der Name wurde später in Druid Arms und in den 1920er Jahren in den heutigen Namen geändert. Am 22. Februar 1967 wurde das Gasthaus im Grade II* auf die Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest gesetzt. Im Rahmen der Campaign for Real Ale wurde es im National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors eingetragen. Im Jahr 1919 wurde das Drewe Arms von Mabel Mudge übernommen, die 75 Jahre lang die Wirtin war und damit zum Zeitpunkt, als sie das Gasthaus aus Altersgründen aufgab, als die am längsten als Wirtin oder Wirt tätige Person Englands galt. Das Pub wurde im Februar 2013 geschlossen, weil die geringe Marge die hohen Betriebskosten nicht mehr erwirtschaften konnte, doch neue Besitzer eröffneten es im selben Jahr erneut.

Drewe Arms, Drewsteignton

The Drewe Arms is a Grade II* listed public house on the north side of The Square in Drewsteignton, Devon, England. Built in the 17th century, the building was modernised in the late 19th century. There may have been a public house at the site in the 16th century. The building is made of cob on a stone base, with stone chimneystacks including one of granite. The roof is a combination of reed thatching, corrugated iron and slate. Built in a T-shape plan, the main area holds three rooms, a kitchen, a main room and a bar. There is a staircase at the rear of the centre room. It appears that the original building was an open hall house. The additional blocks were built in the late 19th and early 20th century, and include cellars and toilet facilities. The interior was largely modernised in the 19th century, but no further modernisation has occurred and some of the 17th century woodwork remains. The deed dates for the Drewe Arms to 1890, when the public house was known as the "New Inn". The name was changed to the Druid Arms, and then to the Drewe Arms in the 1920s. The building was designated Grade II* listed status on 22 February 1967. It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. In 1919 the Drewe Arms was taken over by Mabel Mudge, who ran the public house for 75 years before retirement, giving her the record of the longest-serving landlady in the UK. The pub was subsequently a Whitbread pub, an Enterprise Inns pub, and a Stonegate Inns pub, but successive landlords struggled to make it pay. In late 2023 the pub was acquired by the local community to be run as a community asset. References

St Andrew's Church, Bedingham

St Andrew's Church is an Anglican church in Bedingham in Norfolk, England. It is in the Hempnall group of parishes and in the Diocese of Norwich. It is a round-tower church, dating mostly from the medieval period. The building is Grade I listed. History and description The church is built of flint with limestone dressings. It is a large building, perhaps because Walsingham Priory Manor, held by Walsingham Priory from 1318 until the Dissolution of the Monasteries, was one of the two manors in the parish. The other manor was Bigod's Manor, held by the Stone family from the mid-16th to the 19th century. There were once two churches in the churchyard; foundations remain of St Mary's church. The gateway to the church was made narrower in the 19th century, to prevent the lord of the manor from driving his carriage up to the porch when attending services. The earliest part of the church is the lower part of the tower, which is late Saxon or early Norman; above this is a 15th-century octagonal belfry, where there are four louvred bell-openings alternating with four panels with tracery, and a castellated parapet. The rest of the building dates mostly from the 13th and 14th centuries, with 15th-century additions. Interior The nave has 14th-century arcades, and north and south aisles; the pillars of the arches are octagonal in the north, and quatrefoil in the south, which may be earlier. There is a clerestory with 15th-century windows; the clerestory windows extend over the chancel, providing much light. The chancel's east window has tracery of about 1300. The rood screen, with fine tracery in the panels and carved brattishing along the top, dates from the 15th century. The bench ends have 15th-century carvings. The 15th-century octagonal font has seated lions around the stem, and the symbols of the four evangelists around the bowl. There are monuments to the Stone family on the north wall of the chancel and on floor slabs in the north and south aisles. There is a south chapel, of the 14th century. The south porch is 15th-century. There are five bells, the oldest dating from about 1520. Theye cannot be rung, as the 15th-century oak frame is no longer strong enough.

Church of St Mary and St Peter, Tidenham

The Church of St Mary and St Peter, Tidenham, is a parish church of the Diocese of Gloucester, England. It dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, and was extensively restored by John Norton in 1858. It is a Grade II* listed building and remains an active parish church. History The church dates from the 13th and 14th centuries. The west tower is the earliest remaining part, dating from the early 13th century. Much of the rest, including most of the windows, is of the 14th century. In 1858, a restoration was undertaken by John Norton. David Verey and Alan Brooks, in their revised 2002 volume, Gloucestershire 2: The Vale and the Forest of Dean, in the Pevsner Buildings of England series, called the restoration "drastic" while Historic England describes it as "extensive". Declining attendance and the lack of modern facilities, in particular a car park, threatened the ongoing viability of the church in the early 21st century. However, it remains an active parish church as of June 2021. Architecture and description Verey and Brooks note the church's favourable situation, "beautifully sited, with splendid views across the Severn Estuary". The building comprises a large west tower, nave, chancel, vestry, aisle and porch. The building material is Red sandstone rubble. Listing designations The church has a Grade II* listing designation. In addition, the churchyard contains a large number of Grade II listed monuments including four commemorating members of the Webley family; one to Francis and Dorothy Seaborne and one to the Madocke family; one each to Mary Smith, Henry Jones, William Humpfrey, James Woodhouse, and Richard Jenkins; and three to unidentified persons.

St James Church, Quedgeley

St James Church is a Church of England church in School Lane, Quedgeley, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England. It was designated as a Grade II listed building in January 1955. History There was a chapel on the site before 1095, when the parish of Quedgeley was formed. In the 12th century, Margaret Mautravers gave land to the chapel upon which the church was built. At this time it was also known as St. Mary Magdalene. St James' Church itself was built in 1210. The chancel was added in the 13th century, followed by the south aisle in the 14th century, and then the tower in the late 14th century. In 1856 the east window, made by Messrs. Hardman showing the Resurrection and Crucifixion, was installed. In 1857 the chancel and nave were rebuilt, and the north aisle was added; these were designed by H. Woodyer. Also at this time the pews, and baptismal font were added. The vestry was added around 1887, at the same time as the organ chamber and the south-facing porch on the tower. Architecture The building is made from ashlar with a Cotswold stone roof. The opening between the nave and north aisle consists of three bays in the 13th century style. There is an Elizabethan style panelled roof with styled bosses and the Arnold and Barrow families coat of arms. The undecorated circular font, from the 12th Century, is contained within octagonal stone with mosaic panels. In the south aisle the east window consists of ancient medieval glass with ornamental stone surroundings. References
St Peter's Church, Gloucester

St Peter's Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. It was built from 1860 to 1868 and designed by Gilbert Blount. It is situated on the corner of London Road and Black Dog Way in the centre of the city. It is a Grade II* listed building. History In 1788, a Roman Catholic mission was founded in Gloucester. It was served by an Fr Gildart from a house on Berkeley Street. He did so with help from a £1,000 donation from a Miss Mary Webb. In 1789, it became a parish. In 1790, a Fr John Greenaway came to serve the parish and getting the chapel built. It was dedicated to St Peter ad Vincula and was built on London Road. It was registered in 1792. He died in 1800 and was buried in the chapel. In 1850, during the same year as the restoration of the English hierarchy, a Fr Leonard Calderbank became parish priest. With the increasing Catholic population of the city, he planned for a larger church to accommodate the congregation. In 1857, a £1,000 gift from a Frances Canning was given for the construction of the church and subscriptions were given by the local congregation. The presbytery, designed by Alexander Scoles, was built in 1879–80. Architecture In 1859, the chapel on the site of the church was demolished. Construction on the church started in 1860. Gilbert Blount was commissioned to build a Gothic Revival church. In 1867, the neighbouring presbytery was demolished to allow space for construction of a longer nave, a tower and spire. On 8 October 1868, the church was consecrated. In 1880, a new presbytery was built. Interior A triptych by Mayer of Munich, acquired by Canon Case in Paris. The stained glass is by Hardman & Co. and Clayton and Bell, who also did the original painting scheme in the sanctuary and Lady Chapel. The painted high altar and reredos in the sanctuary were designed by Blount, as was the carved and arcaded circular stone pulpit, a gift of Miss Canning. In the sanctuary are the carved figures of our Lady, St Joseph, St. Gregory, St. Augustine, St. David and St. Willstan. Parish The church has four Sunday Masses: 6:00 pm on Saturday and 9:00 am, 10:00 am and 5:30 pm on Sunday.

Kościół św. Piotra w Gloucesterze

Kościół św. Piotra (ang. St Peter’s Church) – rzymskokatolicki kościół parafialny w Gloucesterze, w Anglii, wzniesiony w latach 1860-1868, znajdujący się w centrum miasta na rogu London Road i Black Dog Way. Dzięki darowiźnie Mary Webb w 1788 roku w Gloucesterze założono katolicką misję, która w 1789 roku została przekształcona w parafię. W latach 90. XVIII wieku ówczesny proboszcz John Greenaway nabył dom, w ogrodzie za którym wybudował małą kaplicę z cegły dedykowaną św. Piotrowi ad Vincula (pol. „w Okowach”). Kaplica ta została zarejestrowana w 1792 roku. W związku ze zwiększaniem się liczby katolików w mieście w latach 50. XIX wieku zaczęto gromadzić fundusze na budowę kościoła, która stała się możliwa zwłaszcza dzięki darowaniu na ten cel przez Frances Canning 1000 funtów (co w tamtym czasie było znaczącą kwotą). W 1859 roku zburzono kaplicę, żeby zrobić miejsce dla kościoła, którego budowę rozpoczęto w 1860 roku. Projektantem neogotyckiej świątyni (w stylu wczesnego XIV wieku) był Gilbert Blount. Kościół konsekrowano 8 października 1868 roku. W 1880 roku wybudowano nowe prezbiterium. Budynek kościoła nie jest orientowany, część prezbiterialna zwrócona jest na północ. Świątynia jest trójnawowa, prezbiterium posiada boczne kaplice. Przypisy
