Saints Peter and Paul Church (Pickering)

Die St Peter and St Paul’s Church ist eine Kirche in Pickering in der Grafschaft North Yorkshire in der Region Yorkshire and the Humber in England. Die Kirche zählt zu den Bauwerken von außerordentlicher Bedeutung mit dem Status Grade I der amtlichen Denkmalliste des Vereinigten Königreichs. Lage Die Kirche liegt auf einem Hügel über dem Ortszentrum von Pickering und ist von einem Friedhof mit stattlichem Baumbestand umgeben. Der Kirchenbau und seine Geschichte Die erste an dieser Stelle errichtete Kirche stammt wahrscheinlich aus der angelsächsischen Zeit. Von ihr ist der Taufstein und ein Kreuzschaft in der Kirche erhalten. Die heutige Kirche wurde ab 1140 erbaut und erfuhr in den nachfolgenden Jahrhunderten viele Veränderungen: so 1150 den Bau des nördlichen und 1190 den Bau den südlichen Seitenschiffs. Um 1200 stürzte der Turm ein. Dieser stand bisher in der Mitte der Kirche und wurde nun auf die Westseite verlegt. Die Turmspitze kam später hinzu. Der Chor wurde um 1300 vergrößert to accommodate the increasingly elaborate church services of the time. Dadurch entstand die ungewöhnliche Situation, dass der Chor breiter als das Schiff ist. Neben dem Chor befinden sich zwei Seitenkapellen. Die nördliche wurde 1337 erbaut und enthält ein Bild von Sir William Bruce, das aber an die Chorstufen verlegt wurden um der aktuellen Orgel Platz zu machen. Die südliche Seitenkapelle wurde 1407 erbaut. Dort finden sich zwei Gemälde: von Sir David und Dame Margery Roucliffe. Die letzte große Änderung erfuhr die Kirche im 15. Jahrhundert. Dabei wurden die Wände des Kirchenschiffs erhöht und die Fenster im Obergaden hinzugefügt. Wandmalereien Die größte Sehenswürdigkeit der Kirche Pickering sind die Wandmalereien im Kirchenschiff. Diese folgen dem mittelalterlichen liturgischen Kalender. Man geht davon aus, dass die Bilder 1450 in Auftrag gegeben wurden. Sie bedecken einen großen Teil der Wände des Hauptschiffs und zeigen Szenen aus dem Leben von Heiligen, sieben Werke der Barmherzigkeit, die Passion, Tod und Auferstehung Christi zusammen mit dem Höllenrachen. Die Bilder wurden zur Zeit der Reformation übermalt und kamen 1852 durch einen Unfall bei dem Putz von der Wand fiel wieder zum Vorschein. Obwohl der diensthabende Vikar, everend F. Ponsonby die Fresken ursprünglich aufdecken ließ, gefielen sie ihm nicht und er bestand zum Ärger des Erzbischofs von York darauf, dass sie wieder übermalt werden müssen. Ein neuer Vikar, Reverend GH Lightfoot, ließ die Übermalung 1876 wieder entfernen und die Malereien restaurieren.

Dixton Manor

Dixton Manor is a Grade II*-listed 16th-century manor house in the south of Alderton parish, Gloucestershire, England. The manor was built for John Higford in 1555. In the nineteenth century, it was acquired by Samuel Gist. In 1962, it was purchased by Charles Hambro, Baron Hambro. It has been listed Grade II* by English Heritage since 4 July 1960. History Dixton Manor dates from around 1555 and stands as an example of Tudor domestic architecture surviving largely intact despite centuries of change.Dixton Manor dates from the mid-16th century and is considered a notable surviving example of Tudor domestic architecture in rural Gloucestershire. Through the following centuries, Dixton Manor remained an active rural seat, with its surrounding farmland and woodland contributing to the local agricultural economy. Archival documents and estate papers held in the National Archives record successive ownership, boundary changes, and leases granted over the generations. In the 20th century, the manor became linked to the Hambro banking family, who acquired the house as a country retreat. Under their care, Dixton Manor continued to serve as a private family home, blending traditional rural seclusion with discreet refinement. Architecture Built primarily from coursed squared local limestone, Dixton Manor displays typical features of a mid-16th-century country house, including mullioned windows with drip moulds, steep gabled dormers, and tall stone chimney stacks. Restoration In recent years, the manor has undergone extensive conservation and restoration work. Local heritage contractors have carried out stone repairs, structural roof works, and timber conservation to protect the building’s historic character. The project focused on using traditional materials and techniques to retain the original fabric while ensuring the structure remains sound for modern use. Cultural presence Dixton Manor has also been depicted in British art celebrating historic country houses. An artwork titled Dixton Manor, Gloucestershire, painted by John Piper, shows the manor within its rural setting and is held in a public collection listed on Art UK. Current status Today, Dixton Manor remains privately owned and is not generally open to the public. Its Grade II* listing ensures that the house is legally protected for its architectural and historic interest. The manor and its setting form part of the rural landscape that characterises this part of the Cotswolds. See also Alderton, Gloucestershire Tudor architecture References

History The church is medieval but was substantially rebuilt in 1536 and again in 1866 by James Green of Todmorden at a cost of £3,600. The roof and walls were in such a ruinous condition as well as the original arches and piers of the nave, that they could not be preserved, and so the whole church, with the exception of the lower portion of the tower was rebuilt. The clerestory was raised 3 feet (0.91 m) and pierced by six windows on each side, filled with geometric tracery. The east window illustrating the life of the Saviour was made by Clayton and Bell, the gift of H.T. Robinson of Edgley, Leyburn. It was re-opened on 28 August 1866 by the Bishop of Ripon. The church is noted for its fine rood screen dating from around 1506 which was originally installed in Jervaulx Abbey and moved here after the Dissolution of the monasteries.

The burial ground contains over a thousand gravestones.
