Topcliffe Toll Booth

Topcliffe Toll Booth is a historic building in Topcliffe, North Yorkshire, a village in England. A single-storey toll booth was constructed in the 17th century, to collect tolls from the adjacent market. A local tradition claims that a ransom for Charles I of Great Britain was paid in the building to Scottish troops during the English Civil War. A second storey was added in the 19th century, and the lower storey was altered. The building was grade II listed in 1952. The building has served variously as a jail, a reading room, and a meeting place for the court leet. In 1968, there were plans to demolish the building to improve traffic flow, but these were not taken up. By 2004, the downstairs room was used for storage, and the upstairs room as a snooker club. That year, the parish council planned to convert it into a village hall with historical displays and tourist information. The house is built of stone with quoins and a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and three bays. On the front are two doorways with plain lintels, and a similar doorway on the right return. The upper floor contains casement windows with wedge lintels, and at the rear a flight of 13 steps with a coped parapet leads up to a doorway with a wedge lintel.

St Mary's Church, Tottenham

St Mary's Church is a Church of England parish church on the south side of Lansdowne Road in Tottenham in north London. It began in 1881 as a mission from Marlborough College and was initially housed in the board school at Coleraine Park (now Coleraine Park Primary School). Three years later it became a mission district, with the college contributing more than a third of the cost of the site for a permanent church. In 1887 it was consecrated, and the following year it turned into a consolidated chapelry, formed from All Hallows, Holy Trinity and St Paul. The red brick permanent church was designed by J. E. K. Cutts. The organ was built by William Hill & Sons in 1889, when the firm was managed by Thomas Hill, son of the founder. The same builder was employed to make some alterations to the instrument three years later. Lack of maintenance in the 20th century led to the organ falling out of use, but in 2009–10 it was removed from the church for restoration, including a Barker lever mechanism.

Christ Church, Turnham Green

Christ Church, Turnham Green is a Grade II listed Anglican church sited on the eastern half of Turnham Green in Chiswick, west London. The church and the green on which it sits are local landmarks, and are considered of special historic interest by the London Borough of Hounslow. The church was designed in the Gothic Revival style by Sir George Gilbert Scott and his partner William Moffatt; construction was completed in 1843. History Christ Church was commissioned in 1841 to serve the growing population of the suburb of Turnham Green who found it inconvenient to walk to St Nicholas Church by the River Thames. The building cost £6,900; the Church Building Commissioners contributed £500 under the Church Building Act 1818, and therefore Christ Church is deemed a Commissioners' church. A re-ordering took place in the early 1990s, during which the pews were removed and replaced with discrete chairs, and the floor concreted and carpeted. In 2000 the west bays were converted into two-storey community rooms under the supervision of architect Ian Goldsmith. Architecture The church was designed in the Gothic Revival style by Sir George Gilbert Scott and his partner William Moffatt; construction was completed in 1843. In 1887 the chancel was extended and given the current square eastern end under architect James Brooks. The design of Christ Church was praised in the 1841 edition of the journal The Ecclesiologist, which stated that the tower and spire were "peculiarly excellent, and worthy of any ancient architect". Daughter church St Alban's Church, Acton Green (St Alban the Martyr), on the green at the northern edge of Chiswick, which had fallen into disuse, was restored and rededicated in 2016, and now forms part of the Christ Church ministry.

St Mary's Church, Acton, London

St Mary's Church is a Church of England parish church in Acton in the London Borough of Ealing. The present church, in red brick with stone dressings in a decorated style, was designed by Horace Francis and constructed 1865–1867. The church was listed Grade II in 1981. Overview The church is dedicated to St Mary of the Visitation. A church dedicated to St Mary in Acton was first recorded in 1231. The medieval church was altered and repaired several times over the centuries. In 1642, the church was damaged by Roundhead soldiers after the Battle of Turnham Green: the font was defaced, windows smashed, the chancel rails taken into the street to be burnt, and most of the memorial brasses destroyed. They also set fire to the rectory outbuildings, objecting to the ceremonial practice of the rector, Daniel Featley. Featley, a Calvinist anti-Laudian but a royal chaplain and a defender of the Church of England, twice escaped assassination, and was ejected from the living of Acton in 1643. Featley and his replacement Philip Nye were both members of the Westminster Assembly, Featley arguing for episcopalianism (the existing system of church governance by bishops), Nye arguing for congregationalism (autonomous churches). To meet the needs of a growing local population, the church was remodelled in 1837, then demolished (except the tower) in 1865 and completely rebuilt in 1865–1867. The new church was consecrated on 16 May 1866 by Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford. In 1876, the tower was rebuilt, paid for by Frederic Ouvry in memory of his sister, and a new clock was installed. The parish is in the Deanery of Ealing, in the Archdeaconry of Northolt, in the Willesden Episcopal Area of the Diocese of London.

The Church of St Lawrence, Hutton Bonville, North Yorkshire, England is a redundant, former estate church which is now in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History and description The church of St Lawrence has origins in the 16th and 17th centuries but was almost completely rebuilt as the estate church for Hutton Bonville Hall in 1896. The rebuilding was undertaken for Sir Henry Beresford-Peirse and was so extensive that "nothing beyond some old walling" was left of the earlier foundation. When Nikolaus Pevsner visited in the early 1960s, to write the entry for his Yorkshire: The North Riding volume of the Buildings of England, the church was "away from anywhere except the decaying Hall". In 1962, Hutton Bonville Hall was demolished, and the church was closed and declared redundant in 2007. In October 2020 it passed to the care of the charity, Friends of Friendless Churches, which is now undertaking repairs. The church comprises a three-bay nave and a chancel with a gabled bellcote at the western end. The font is Norman in origin and a single Victorian stained glass window remains. Pevsner recorded the presence of a cup and paten by Gabriel Sleath. St Lawrence is a Grade II listed building.

Stratford Martyrs Memorial

The Stratford Martyrs Memorial is a memorial that commemorates the group of 11 men and two women who were burned at the stake together for their Protestant beliefs, at Stratford-le-Bow or Stratford near London in England on 27 June 1556, during the Marian persecutions. In 1879, a large monument was erected in St John's churchyard in Stratford Broadway, to commemorate the 13 and others who were executed or tortured in Stratford during the persecutions. Designed by J T Newman, it consists of an ornate hexagonal column, capped with a 12-sided spire rising to a height of 65 feet. One side of the column carries a terra cotta plaque, sculpted in relief, based on the illustration of the martyrdom in Foxe's book. The other panels carry the names of the 13 martyrs, together with Elizabeth Warne (burnt 23 August 1555), Stephen Harwood (burnt 30 August 1555), Hugh Laverock and John Apprice (both burnt 15 May 1556). Also included are Patrick Packingham, who was actually executed at Uxbridge and the Reverend Thomas Rose, the Vicar of All Saints Church, West Ham, who "was tortured and exiled for preaching against auricular confession, transubstantiation, purgatory and images". The memorial is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England. The monument was paid for by public subscription; the chairman of the appeal committee was Rev. William Jay Bolton, the Vicar of Stratford. It was inaugurated in a ceremony on 2 August 1879, presided over by the Earl of Shaftesbury, who made a strongly anti-Catholic speech. The opinion of The Graphic, a national weekly newspaper, was that "Language of this sort is better calculated to wound the feelings of many good people than to break down barriers that already too effectually divide the different denominations."

Our Lady of Dolours, Chelsea

Our Lady of Dolours, also known as the Servite Church, is a Roman Catholic parish church run by the Servite Order in Chelsea, west London. The building was designed in Gothic Revival style by J. A. Hansom in 1873. It is Grade II listed with Historic England. It stands next to St Mary's Priory, at 264 Fulham Road close to the South Lodge entrance to Brompton Cemetery in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. There is a mixed Roman Catholic primary school adjacent to the church and priory. History The parish and its church were initiated by two Italian Servite priests from Florence, Fr Philip Bosio OSM and Fr Augustine Morini OSM, who arrived in London in 1864. They came as missionary members of an ancient mendicant order to fill the shortage of Catholic priests in the wake of the English resumption of regular, public Catholic services after a break of nearly 250 years. From 1852 to 1869 St Mary's Church, Moorfields, built by the faithful, served as the first London diocesan seat of a re-established British Catholic church with a hierarchy. Construction on the Fulham Road site began in 1874, led by Fr Philip Bosio OSM, with Joseph Hansom as architect. Hansom also designed the tower and priory frontage on Fulham Road (1879–80). It was originally named Our Lady of the Seven Dolours, but this was later simplified to the present dedication, (which is equivalent in meaning to Our Lady of Sorrows). The church was consecrated by Cardinal Manning on 19 September 1875. From its beginning, when Roman Catholic parishes were being organised in the areas of Brompton, Fulham and Chelsea, the Servite Church was the most popular with the faithful, of whom crowds attended its services. The entrance colonnade passage by Hansom (1894) is unique in English churches. Other features include bronzes of the Redeemer and St. Peter by Mayer (1872), The Holy Face, after Lorenzo di Credi, 1895 and J. M. Swynnerton's Pietà (1896). The magnificent Gothic Reredos were unaccountably removed during a 1970s refurbishment. The organ is by Henry Jones, built by Grant, Degens and Bradbeer in 1968. The church serves native residents as well as an international community of Catholics who live in the area. One transient Italian family had their first-born baptised at the church on 18 May 1991, before returning to their homeland in September of that year. The baby, Carlo Acutis, whose life was cut short by leukemia at the age of 15, was beatified in Assisi Cathedral on 10 October 2020. He was canonised on 7 September 2025. One of his hairs is held in the church in a relic-holder in a shrine converted from a former confessional box, near the font where he was baptised.
