St Paul’s Church (Bedford)

Die der Church of England zugehörige St Paul’s Church in der mittelenglischen Großstadt Bedford in der Grafschaft (county) Bedfordshire ist eine anglikanische Pfarrkirche unter dem Patrozinium des Apostels Paulus; sie ist als Grade-I-Bauwerk eingestuft und ist Mitglied im Major Churches Network. Lage Die etwa 100.000 Einwohner zählende Stadt Bedford liegt am Fluss Great Ouse in einer Höhe von ca. 35 m; die St Paul’s Church ist nur etwa 100 m in nördlicher Richtung vom Fluss entfernt. Geschichte Wahrscheinlich existierte bereits im ausgehenden 8. Jahrhundert eine Paulskirche an diesem Platz, der wiederholten Angriffen der Wikinger und der Dänen ausgesetzt war. Im Domesday Book (1086) wird die Kirche namentlich erwähnt. Die gegenwärtige Kirche entstand im 13. Jahrhundert, unterlag aber in der Folgezeit zahlreichen Veränderungen, so dass ihr heutiges Erscheinungsbild stark vom spätgotischen Perpendicular Style geprägt ist. Architektur Die Kirche wird von einem etwa 60 m hohen Vierungsturm mit Spitzhelm dominiert. Das dreischiffige Langhaus ist als Hallenkirche konzipiert, wohingegen der Chor basilikal aufgebaut ist. Alle Bauteile haben hölzerne Decken. Weblinks St Paul’s Church – Foto + Infos Einzelnachweise
St Paul's Church, Bristol

St Paul's Church, a redundant church, gives its name to the surrounding St Paul's area of Bristol, England. It was built in the 1790s but fell into disuse and disrepair by its closure in 1988. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. Major renovation work was undertaken to repair and convert the building for use as a performance space and circus skills school Circomedia. Building It is in the Georgian Portland Square. It was designed by Daniel Hague although the original St Paul's Church was to be designed by James Allen in a Greek style. Work was started on the church in 1789 and completed in 1794. St Paul's became known as the Wedding Cake Church from the unusual tiered tower. The tower was designed to hold a ring of ten bells, however only four bells were purchased, all cast by John Rudhall of Gloucester, two in 1792 and the 6th and tenor bells of the proposed ring in 1795. The tenor bell is still hung for full-circle ringing, and the other bells were removed and are now hung in other churches - the two smaller bells are now at St Michael's, Buckland Dinham and St. John's, Wagga Wagga, and the second largest is now the tenor bell at St. James', Sydney. The gates and railings are a grade II* listed building. Closure and redevelopment As the residential population of the area decreased (houses were converted into offices) the congregation declined; the church closed in 1988 in a state of disrepair and was boarded up for many years. A lot of damage was caused by swollen ironwork exploding the Bath Stone and water leaking in, causing erosion to the plaster ceilings. About £2.3 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund funded the restoration and conversion work. The church is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 1 November 1988, and was vested in the Trust on 1 April 2000. In 2005 the church building was converted into its present form as the home of Circomedia, a circus school, but remains consecrated. It still boasts an ornate Georgian plaster ceiling, stone columns and a wealth of decorative stained glass, but has now been equipped with aerial and trapeze equipment and a pale Maple wood sprung dance floor. On 19 October 2007, it won the international RICS Community Benefit Award 2007. St Paul's was chosen as the winner by judges because of the transformation it has undergone under the Churches Conservation Trust.

St Paul's Church, Camden Square

St Paul's Church is a church dedicated to Paul the Apostle on Camden Square in Camden, north London. It is called St Paul's because the estate was owned originally by the canons of St Paul's Cathedral. It was built in 1849 to designs by Frederick W. Ordish and John Johnson. The builder, John Kelk (later knighted) built the Albert Memorial. The church was severely damaged in the Second World War and replaced with a single-storey church hall building which, though meant to be temporary, still houses the church's congregation at one end. Plans for a replacement were put forward in July 2008, incorporating the hall as well as new social housing and worship area. From 2003 to 2023 it and its parish formed part of the St Pancras team of parishes, which also included St Pancras Old Church, St Michael's Church, Camden Town, and St Mary's Church, Somers Town - all four are now independent parishes again.
