St Andrew's Church, Buckland Monachorum

St Andrew's Church, Buckland Monachorum is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England Diocese of Exeter in Buckland Monachorum, Devon. History The church is medieval, but much was rebuilt in the late 15th century. A restoration was undertaken in 1868-69 under the supervision of Mr. H. Elliott, architect of Plymouth. The west end gallery was removed. The roof was restored. The old pews were replaced with new pews of oak. The medieval bench ends were preserved where possible and new ones carved in a similar style. The walls were plastered, and the windows were re-glazed with plain cathedral glass. A stained glass window by Heaton and Butler was installed at the east end with a representation of the Good Shepherd. The church reopened for worship on Thursday 8 July 1869. The church is noted for the monuments in the Drake aisle. Those to George Augustus Eliott, 1st Baron Heathfield of 1795 and Sir Francis Henry Drake, 5th Baronet of 1794 are by John Bacon Senior. The memorial to Francis Augustus Eliott, 2nd Baron Heathfield is by John Bacon Junior and the memorial to Dame Eleanor Elliott Drake (d. 1841) is by Richard Westmacott. Rectors Organ The organ was installed by H.P. Dicker of Exeter in 1849. It was playable either by a person on the keyboard, or by a barrel. It was the gift of Sir Thomas Fuller-Eliott-Drake, Bart. It was expanded in 1920 by Hele & Co of Plymouth when a second manual was added. Subsequent rebuildings and enlargements have resulted in a 2 manual organ with 24 speaking stops. A specification of the organ can be found in the National Pipe Organ Register. Bells The tower contains a peal of 8 bells. Five of the bells date from 1723 by Christopher and John Pennington, and 3 date from 1947 by Gillett & Johnston. References

St John's Church, Little Gidding

St John's Church is the Church of England parish church of the village of Little Gidding in Cambridgeshire. It is dedicated to St John the Evangelist and is a Grade I listed building. It is brick with a Ketton stone (a form of limestone) facing and a Collyweston stone slate roof. History The earliest known building on the site was a medieval one with associations to the Knights Templar which was decaying by the 17th century but restored by Nicholas Ferrar and his family when they founded their religious community in the village at that date. Mary Ferrar had the church panelled with oak wainscoting, some of which survives on the south side of the present church's chancel. They installed an organ in March 1631–32 (now lost). Mistress Ferrar also donated the surviving brass font of c.1625 and the 15th-century brass lectern with eagle, while the current cedar communion table also dates from the Ferrars' occupancy. That church was replaced by the present one in 1714 with a nave 8 feet shorter than its predecessor and removing the west gallery the Ferrars had installed. It was in its turn restored and altered in 1853. The nave is 13.66 feet (4.16 m) wide and 32.75 feet (9.98 m) in length and fewer than 30 people can be accommodated in the stalls lining the wall of the nave. The chancel is 12 feet (3.7 m) wide and 22.75 feet (6.93 m) in width. On the south side of the chancel is a late 19th-century vestry which is a little larger than one half the width of the chancel. Although photographs taken during the 1900s show an organ within the church, a 1999 survey for the National Pipe Organ Register stated that as of 1999, there was no pipe organ in this church. An Order in Council published in the London Gazette on 13 March 1923, combined the United Benefice of Great Gidding with Little Gidding with the Benefice of Steeple Gidding. St John's is listed in Simon Jenkins' England's Thousand Best Churches.

St Margaret's Church, Hemingford Abbots

St Margaret's Church, in Hemingford Abbots is a Church of England church, dedicated to Saint Margaret of Antioch. A church has stood on the site since at least 1086, for it is mentioned in the Domesday Record. Parts of the current fabric date from c. 1300. Nave The nave's arches were built around 1300, the thicker pillars next to the chancel show where a twelfth century central tower stood. The remains of the flying buttresses which supported the tower can also be seen. The oaken roof dates from around the fifteenth century. There are twenty-two angels in the architecture. Signs of an earlier, lower, roof are evident, and the outlines of the earlier clerestory windows can also be seen. The font is some seven hundred years old, with low relief Norman arches. Glass Most of the stained glass is Victorian, but there is eighteenth century heraldic glass in the north aisle, also some mediaeval fragments. In the tower arch, there is a glass screen designed by David Peace, which was added to with a Dove engraving by Sally Scott in memorial to Peace. Tower and spire The tower is adorned with gargoyles, though there are none on the less visible north side. The spire is octagonal, and has castellated band courses, two rows of lucarnes, and is topped with a weathervane. The first ten feet (3.0 m) of the spire is at a steeper angle than the rest. Churchyard The churchyard contains many traditional headstones in the vernacular material, two table tombs, and has a goodly population of box trees and yews. Access is via a lychgate which was moved from Warboys to mark the Hemingford Millennium in 1974. References External links
Longdon-on-Tern-Aquädukt

Das Longdon-on-Tern-Aquädukt führte den Shrewsbury Canal bei dem Dorf Longdon-on-Tern in Shropshire, England, über den River Tern. Das von Thomas Telford entworfene und unter seiner Anleitung ausgeführte Bauwerk war eines der ersten gusseisernen Aquädukte der Welt und der Vorläufer seines Pontcysyllte-Aquädukts. Geschichte Der kurze Shrewsbury Canal wurde zwischen 1793 und 1797 gebaut. Dabei wurde ein erstes, von William Clowes an dieser Stelle gebaute steinernes Aquädukt 1795 von einem Hochwasser weggespült. Thomas Telford ersetzte es 1796 durch ein 56,7 m langes gusseisernes Bauwerk, das einen Monat nach dem 13 m langen Holmes-Aquädukt fertig wurde, das Benjamin Outram am Derby Canal gebaut hatte, der weltweit ersten gusseisernen Kanalbrücke. Als der Shrewsbury Canal 1944 geschlossen wurde, verlor auch das Longdon-on-Tern-Aquädukt seine Funktion. Der Kanal wurde in den umliegenden Feldern eingeebnet, allein das Aquädukt ist noch vorhanden. Es steht seit 1971 unter Denkmalschutz (Grade I). Beschreibung Das Aquädukt besteht aus einem rechteckigen gusseisernen 56,7 m (186 ft) langen Trog, der 2,7 m (9 ft) breit und 0,91 m (3 ft) tief ist. Die einzelnen eisernen Platten sind miteinander verschraubt. Das Aquädukt hat vier Öffnungen und wird von drei gusseisernen Stützenpaaren getragen, die durch schräge Träger verstärkt sind. An seiner Südseite befindet sich ein ebenfalls aus Gusseisen ausgeführter Treidelpfad mit einem Geländer an der Außenseite. An den beiden Enden das Aquädukts befinden sich große gemauerte Widerlager, wohl noch von Clowes gebaut, mit denen der etwas breitere Kanal auf den engen Trog geführt wurde. Eines der Widerlager hat selbst zwei bogenförmige Hochwasserdurchlässe. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Longdon-on-Tern Aqueduct

The Longdon-upon-Tern Aqueduct, near Longdon-upon-Tern in Shropshire, was one of the first two canal aqueducts to be built from cast iron. History The cast iron canal aqueduct was re-engineered by Thomas Telford after the first construction designed by William Clowes was swept away by floods. It was built in 1796 to carry the Shrewsbury Canal across the River Tern near Longdon-upon-Tern in Shropshire. The 186 feet (57 m) aqueduct was opened one month after Benjamin Outram's 44 feet (13 m) cast iron Holmes Aqueduct on the Derby Canal, the world's first cast iron canal aqueduct. Since the closure of the Shrewsbury Canal in 1944, the aqueduct has been disused. The aqueduct is an Historic England Grade I listed building and has been on the register since 30 March 1971. Description The canal was carried in a cast-iron trough 9 feet (2.7 m) wide, 3 feet (0.91 m) deep and 186 feet (57 m) long and divided in four spans, each of 47 feet 8 inches (14.53 m).

Longdon-on-Tern-aquaduct

De Longdon-on-Tern-aquaduct is een kanaalbrug bij Longdon-on-Tern in het Engelse graafschap Shropshire. Het is een onderdeel van het voormalige Shrewsbury Canal, dat Shrewsbury met Norbury Junction verbond. Het is het oudste overgebleven gietijzeren aquaduct ter wereld. Er waren oudere kleinere gietijzeren aquaducten, maar die zijn allemaal gesloopt. Josiah Clowes was de ingenieur van het Shrewsbury Canal. Hij had een kanaalbrug van metselwerk laten bouwen. Het werk bestond uit natuursteen en de binnenzijde was bekleed met klei om het weglekken van het kanaalwater te voorkomen. Door een abnormaal grote overstroming werd dit werk tussen 10 en 12 februari 1795 bijna volledig vernield. Clowes heeft dit niet meegemaakt, hij was kort voor die tijd overleden. Zijn opvolger werd Thomas Telford. Hij werd 28 februari 1795 aangesteld om de werkzaamheden af te maken. Nog geen twee weken later werd de opdracht voor de bouw van een gietijzeren kanaalbrug gegund aan William Reynolds & Co.. Hij wilde het werk voor minder dan 2000 pond uitvoeren. Het plan werd door Telford goedgekeurd. Thomas Eyton, de voorzitter van de Shrewsbury Canal Company, had het idee geopperd en Reynolds heeft zeer waarschijnlijk het ontwerp gemaakt. Het aquaduct werd in zeer korte tijd ontworpen en gebouwd. De platen werden in Ketley gemaakt en de nog overgebleven natuurstenen bogen van het oude aquaduct werden gebruikt. In 1796 werden de laatste platen gemonteerd. De bak is 57 meter lang en ligt vijf meter (18 voet) boven de rivier Tern. De binnenmaten van de bak zijn 2,4 m breed en 1,4 m diep. Er naast ligt een jaagpad voor de trekpaarden, deze is smaller en de bodem ligt op hetzelfde niveau als de kanaalbodem. Het kanaal werd in 1944 gesloten. Sindsdien zijn grote delen van het kanaal gedempt, maar de kanaalbrug en nog enkele andere kunstwerken, waaronder de Berwick Tunnel, zijn nog in het landschap aanwezig. De kanaalbrug staat op privé terrein, maar is wel vanaf de openbare weg (B5063) zichtbaar.
Boone's Chapel

Boone's Chapel is a single-storey building attributed to Sir Christopher Wren and built in 1683. The chapel is very small, measuring just 45 square metres and is constructed of red brickwork with Portland stone details to window architraves, rusticated quoins and a pyramidal roof with an open wood cupola. The chapel is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England. It is located adjacent to the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors almshouses on Lee High Road in Lewisham, London and is one of only two Grade I-listed buildings in the borough of Lewisham (the other is St Paul's, Deptford). History Christopher Boone, a member of the Merchant Taylors’ Company, commissioned Sir Christopher Wren to design the chapel. The Boone family lived in Herefordshire and income from their estate was used to build almshouses for the elderly of Lee and also to educate twelve poor children. Though Wren may have been commissioned to build both the chapel and almshouses, it appears that Robert Hooke, a friend and colleague and another member of the Merchant Taylors’ Company, actually undertook construction. Although the almshouses that were built to the left of the chapel along Lee High Road were demolished in 1877, the chapel itself was preserved as a reading room. There are remaining Grade II-listed almhouses dating from 1825 just up from the chapel. Following the end of the second world war, the chapel fell into disuse. Mausoleum Both Christopher Boone (1616-1686) and his wife, Mary (c1638-1722) are interred within the chapel. Restoration By the late 1990s, the Grade I-listed chapel was suffering from decades of neglect and was placed on English Heritage's London Buildings at Risk register. To combat this, a new charity was set up - The Blackheath Historic Buildings Trust - in 1999. The charity received Heritage Lottery Funding and support from the London Borough of Lewisham, livery companies and the support of local residents through the Lee Manor and Blackheath Societies. The funding allowed for the chapel to be completely renovated. Following the raising of over £500,000, Boone's Chapel was renovated in 2008. A small physic garden was also added during the renovation. The chapel is now used by a firm of architects but is open to the public 30 days a year.

Eagle House, Mitcham

Eagle House is a Grade One Listed Queen Anne house built in the Dutch style. It is on London Road, Mitcham, in the London Borough of Merton, the grounds forming a triangle bounded by London Road, Bond Road and Western Road. The building dates back to 1705, having been commissioned by the Marrano doctor Fernando Mendes (1647–1724), former physician to Charles II, and in whose family it remained for three generations. Following the death in 1821 of the last private occupant—the widow of City banker John Bond—the property was converted into a private boarding school for young gentlemen (presumably nearby Bond Road reflects the Bond connection). In the early days of the Holborn Union Industrial Schools, built in the northern part of the estate, it served as the school infirmary. In 1933, the building was bought by the Surrey County Council, for the care of 'mentally deficient girls'. Since 2005, the building has been a school for children and young people with autism.

St Mary Magdalene's Church, East Ham

St Mary Magdalene's Church, East Ham is a parish church in East Ham, east London, dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. Its nave, chancel and apse date to the first half of the 12th century and the tower probably to the early 13th century but partly rebuilt in the 16th century - it is claimed to be the oldest parish church still in weekly use in Greater London and is listed at Grade I. A recess containing a piscina was cut into the nave's south wall beside the chancel for a nave altar in the 13th century, faint traces of wall paintings from that century also survive on the apse. The roofs were altered in the early 17th century and in 1639 Sir Richard Heigham gave the present white marble font. A 17th century memorial to an Edmond Nevill also survived - he is said to have lived locally at Green Street House and he laid claim to the attainted title of Earl of Westmoreland - and to his daughter, Lady Katherine Nevill. Other monuments to Giles Breame and William Heigham survive, whilst William Stukeley is said to have selected the church's churchyard in his lifetime - he is buried there without a monument. Though box pews and a triple decker pulpit were added (only to be replaced in the 1890s), the 18th century otherwise saw few alterations. A west gallery for children was added in 1820 and the south porch converted into a vestry ten years later, replaced by a yellow-brick west porch opening into the tower. In 1883 it opened the mission church that became St Michael and All Angels Church, Beckton Road. In 1896 the west gallery was removed and further restorations completed. In 1908 the south porch stopped being a vestry after a new level was created in the tower for a vestry. A complete restoration in 1931 removed the apse and chancel ceilings, opened out the rood-loft stair and stripped the external plaster from the tower. The London Blitz destroyed the chancel roof and the whole church's stained glass in 1941, along with other damage, but repairs were immediate and a permanent restoration of the nave was complete by the war's end, followed by a more comprehensive restorations in 1950 and 1965–1966. It now forms part of the East Ham Team Parish (also known as the Parish of the Holy Trinity) alongside St Edmund's, St Bartholomew's and St Alban's. References
Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de East Ham

L'église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine d'East Ham (en anglais : St Mary Magdalene's Church) est une église paroissiale d'East Ham, dans l'est de Londres, dédiée à Sainte-Marie-Madeleine.

On prétend qu'elle est la plus ancienne église paroissiale encore utilisée chaque semaine dans le Grand Londres et elle est classée Grade I. Le Blitz de Londres a détruit le toit du chœur et les vitraux de l'église en 1941, ainsi que d'autres dommages, mais les réparations ont été immédiates et une restauration de la nef a été achevée à la fin de la guerre, suivie de restaurations plus complètes en 1950 et 1965-1966. Elle fait désormais partie de la paroisse d'East Ham aux côtés de St Edmund's, St Bartholomew's et St Alban's. Le cimetière couvre une superficie d'environ 3 hectares, mais a récemment été fermé aux enterrements. Depuis 1977, la plupart du cimetière a été laissé en tant que réserve naturelle, gérée par le borough londonien de Newham.

It was designed by architect Thomas Hardwick. Its foundation stone was laid on 13 July 1787, followed by a reception at Wanstead House, and it was completed on 24 June 1790, with a consecration ceremony led by Beilby Porteus, bishop of London. After the new church was completed, its medieval predecessor was demolished, though the latter's large monument to Josiah Child was moved to the new church. The sculptor Joseph Wilton and the Royal Navy Vice-Admiral Robert Plampin are buried in the churchyard. References External links Official parish website
