All Saints' Church, Bolton Percy

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Bolton Percy, in North Yorkshire in England. There was a church in Bolton Percy at the time of the Domesday Book. The current church was built while Thomas Percy was rector, and it was consecrated on 8 July 1424 by Nicholas Warte, the Bishop of Dromore. The east window of the church was restored in 1866 by William Warrington, and the whole building was restored in 1890 by James Demaine and Walter Brierley, and in 1905 by John Bilson. The building was Grade I listed in 1967. It was again re-roofed in 2016, using a grant from the National Churches Trust. Given the size and quality of the building, it is locally nicknamed the "Cathedral of the Ainsty". The church is built of Magnesian Limestone and is roofed with stone slates. There is a west tower, a four-bay nave with aisles and a south porch, and then a three-bay chancel with a vestry on the north side. The tower has three stages; in 1844, it was recorded as having a fourth stage of later date, which has since been removed. It is supported with buttresses and is now topped by battlements. Most of the windows have three lights and are Perpendicular in style, with the East window having five lights. There are 14 stained glass windows, with the East and Millennium windows of most note. Inside, there is a pointed arch opening to the tower, and octagonal piers supporting the arcades. The font is Norman, with a Jacobean cover. There is a prayer desk of the same period, and a pulpit from the era of Charles II. There is also a sedilia with three gables, and a piscina with a carved angel at its base. There is a Mediaeval floor slab dedicated to Elizabeth Ryther, and several 17th-century memorials, including a Baroque wall monument dedicated to Ferdinando Fairfax, 2nd Lord Fairfax of Cameron. The interior has oak box pews which are also Jacobean. See also Grade I listed buildings in North Yorkshire (district) Listed buildings in Bolton Percy References External links Official website
St Wilfrid's Church, Monk Fryston

St Wilfrid's Church is the parish church of Monk Fryston, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the Saxon period, probably in the early 11th century, from which era the lower part of the tower survives. The rest of the church was rebuilt in the 13th century, while the upper part of the tower dates from the 14th century, as does the clerestory. The choir was restored by Thomas Edmunds in 1685. The whole church was restored from 1889 to 1891 by Robert J. Johnson at a cost of £7,000. The work included the addition of a vestry, and the replacement of most of the stained glass. The building was grade I listed in 1967. In the mediaeval period, the church was dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, but it is now dedicated to Saint Wilfrid. In 1970, a church hall was added, to a design by George Pace and Ronald Sims. The church roof was replaced in 2013. The church is built of magnesian limestone, with roofs of stone slate and lead, and consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel with a south vestry, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, a two-light west window, a floor band, two corbel tables, two-light round-headed bell openings, and an embattled parapet with crocketed pinnacles. The north aisle is also embattled, and at the east end is a three-light straight-headed Perpendicular window. Inside, there is a piscina, two 17th-century wall tablets, a 13th-century square stone font with a wooden cover dating from 1669, a communion rail from 1664, and several stained glass windows designed by Charles Eamer Kempe.

Turvey House and Gardens

Turvey House and Gardens are a country house, gardens and parkland, situated by the village of Turvey in Bedfordshire, England. The gardens and parkland are listed Grade II in Historic England's Register of Parks and Gardens. and the house is a Grade I listed building. The house is a venue for weddings, events and location shoots. History The Turvey Estate was bought in 1786 from Charles Henry Mordaunt, Fifth Earl of Peterborough, by Charles Higgins, Sheriff of London in that year. John Higgins, a cousin of Charles Higgins, acquired part of the estate, and in the 1790s he built Turvey House. The house was likely designed by the architect, John Wing of Bedford. On his death in 1813, the estate was inherited by his eldest son Thomas Charles Higgins, High Sheriff of Bedfordshire in 1823. During the period from then until his death in 1865 there were many changes to the estate: the house was enlarged with an upper storey added in the 1830s, and modifications to the parkland included rerouting of driveways. The Higgins family name remained associated with the estate; in 1939 Prunella Higgins married Lieutenant Colonel Sir Hanmer Hanbury, and the current custodians are Charles (their grandson) and Grace Hanbury, the seventh generation of the family to live in the house. Description The park, north-west of the village, is bounded on the west by the River Great Ouse and on the east by Carlton Road. It has an area of 150 acres (61 ha). The main entrance is near the parish church at the south end, where there is a stone lodge (Bottom Lodge, a Grade II listed building). A second entrance is on Carlton Road, also marked by a stone lodge (Top Lodge, Grade II listed), which leads to the courtyard on the north-eastern side of the house. The house is in the centre of the park, on a slight rise above the river; there is a commanding view to the south-west across the park towards the river and beyond. The house is in Neoclassical style. The south-west front has seven bays, with Corinthian columns at the end bays; the north-east front has a tetrastyle Doric porch.

Beyond this there is parkland, planted with oak, beech, ash, lime, maple and poplar. References
St Helen's Church, Stillingfleet

St Helen's Church is the parish church of Stillingfleet, in North Yorkshire, in England. History The church was originally built in about 1145, from which time the nave, chancel and south porch survive. It is likely that this was the entirety of the church at the time; the Victoria County History states that "for its size it was notably well decorated". In the 13th century, a north aisle and chapel dedicated to Saint Anne were added. The lowest stage of the tower also dates from this time. In 1336, the Moreby Chapel was added, and new windows were added to the chancel. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the upper parts of the tower were rebuilt, the chancel arch removed, the north aisle was heightened. Some of this work dates from about 1520, when bequests totalling £50 were made. However, by 1567, the chancel was in poor condition. Some work may have been done in the late 17th century, and the nave roof was rebuilt in 1828. Between 1875 and 1884, the church was restored by C. Hodgson Fowler, the east end was rebuilt, a gallery was added, and new pews were installed. In 1966, the church was Grade I listed. Architecture Door The most noted feature of the church is its door, which is at least as old as the church, but generally thought to date from the 10th century, and to have been moved to the church when it was built. Its ironwork includes the hinges, a cross, a ship, two figures, a tree, a horned figure, and a further figure on its own. In 1990, the door was taken to London, where it was restored by Plowden & Smith. In 2002, it was returned to Stillingfleet, and rehung inside the church, with a new door constructed, with ironwork recalling that of the Saxon door. Structure The church is built of Magnesian limestone. It has a three-bay nave and a two-bay chancel, with the tower at the west end. The tower has a single lancet window on the west side, and a mullioned window on the south. The top of the tower has battlements. On the south side is the main doorway, contemporary with the church, but moved in the 13th century, when St Anne's Chapel was added. The doorway has five orders of decoration. On the north side is the priest's doorway, which also has decorative mouldings and a plank door with decorative hinges. Interior Inside the church, there is an effigy of a knight, dating from about 1337, and dedicated to Robert of Moreby. There is an alabaster monument to John Acklam, carved in 1613. One window in the chancel has glass dating from 1520 and restored in 1698, depicting the arms of Stillington impaling Bigod. Two chancel screens in the Moreby Chapel are said to have been made in 1877, from 17th-century woodwork. The Chapel of St Anne has panelling dating from about 1650. There are also an organ and three bells, two dating from 1626, and one from 1747. See also Grade I listed buildings in North Yorkshire (district) Listed buildings in Stillingfleet References
All Saints' Church, Cawood

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Cawood, in North Yorkshire, England. History The oldest part of the church is the west wall, dating from the mid- or late-12th century. The chancel and south aisle were added in the 13th century. The church was first recorded in 1294, but is believed to have previously been a chapel of Cawood Castle. In the 14th century, a north aisle and north and south chapels were added. The following century, the north chapel was enlarged and the south chapel demolished, while a grand east window was inserted. The tower was also constructed; in 1848 the church was described as "a neat structure with a tower". During the 1880s, the church was restored by George Gilbert Scott Jr. He replaced most of the glass, and removed a statue of the Virgin and Child from the tower for safekeeping. The statue was lost, and a copy installed only in 1961. In 1935, the south porch was rebuilt. The north aisle has been converted into a vestry. In 1966, the church was grade I listed.

St Andrew's Church, Toddington

St Andrew's Church, Toddington is a Grade I Listed Building in the town of Toddington, Gloucestershire, England. The present church is the third to occupy the site. History Prior to the 1870s, the church was dedicated to St Leonard. Originally founded before 1666, the church was rebuilt for the first time in 1723 by Thomas Charles Tracy, 5th Viscount Tracy. The building of 1723 was a small Perpendicular structure, of which only very small elements are known to still exist. It was demolished in 1868 and the church was rebuilt almost entirely in 1868–69 by George Edmund Street (1824–1881). Street was commissioned by the 3rd Lord Sudeley. The work cost £44,000, equivalent to around £20 million in the 21st century. An illustration of the finished church was featured in The Building News on 5 January 1870. It was rededicated to St Andrew after the rebuild was completed. Little remains of the earlier buildings aside from some loose effigies dating from the 17th Century and three marble wall monuments from the 18th Century. The church's large North Chapel houses the tombs of Charles Hanbury-Tracy, 1st Baron Sudeley (1778–1858) and his wife Henrietta Susanna Tracy. Lord Sudeley left £5000 towards the creation of the tombs, which were designed by John Graham Lough. The large sums of money which the family donated towards the building an upkeep of the church, combined with the agricultural depression of the late 19th Century were eventually contributory factors to the financial decline of the Hanbury-Tracy family. The church became Listed in 1960. Services Services are held in the church on the first (Parish Communion) and fourth (family service and Evensong) Sundays of the month. Gallery References
St Mary's Church, Thornham Parva

St Mary's Church is a medieval church in Thornham Parva, Suffolk, England. Much of the fabric dates from the 12th century, and it is a Grade I listed building. Originally the church served not only Thornham Parva but the neighbouring village of Thornham Magna, which is now a separate parish. A church on the site was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, and there are still traces of Anglo-Saxon stonework in the present building. The roof is thatched. Inside the building are early-14th-century wall paintings—on the south wall the early years of Christ and on the north wall the martyrdom of St Edmund. The church also houses a famous altarpiece, the Thornham Parva Retable, which is thought to have been created in the 1330s for a Dominican priory, probably Blackfriars, Thetford. The architect Basil Spence died in 1976 at his home at Yaxley, Suffolk, and was buried at Thornham Parva. The graves of Dame Anne Warburton, the first female British ambassador, the violinist, Frederick Grinke, and Gareth Jones, "founding father" of the English law of restitution, also lie within the churchyard.

Chiesa di Santa Maria (Thornham Parva)

La chiesa di Santa Maria (in inglese St Mary's Church) è una chiesa anglicana del XII secolo situata a Thornham Parva, villaggio rurale nei pressi di Eye nel Suffolk, Inghilterra. È classificata come edificio di interesse storico di Grado I. Storia e descrizione In origine la chiesa serviva non solo Thornham Parva ma anche il vicino villaggio di Thornham Magna, che poi si costituì come parrocchia separata. Gran parte della struttura risale al XII secolo. Una chiesa sul sito è registrata nel Domesday Book del 1086, e nell'edificio attuale sopravvivono brani di architettura anglosassone. Il tetto della chiesa è ancora oggi di paglia, compreso quello della torre. Presbiterio e navata si presentano ricostruiti, mentre la torre campanaria in facciata è databile al XIV secolo. Nella navata si aprono finestre trilobate di gusto gotico. La chiesa ha preservato intatto anche il suo contesto medievale: è completamente circondata dai campi, a parte il piccolo cimitero annesso, inoltre non ha luci elettriche ed è illuminata solo per mezzo di lampade a olio. L'architetto Basil Spence morì nel 1976 nella sua casa di Yaxley, nel Suffolk, e fu sepolto qui. Il cimitero ospita anche le sepolture di Anne Warburton, la prima ambasciatrice britannica, e del violinista Frederick Grinke. Opere d'arte All'interno si trovano dipinti murali dell'inizio del XIV secolo, abrasi e lacunosi ma ancora leggibili: sulla parete sud l'Infanzia di Cristo, mentre sulla parete nord il Martirio di Sant'Edmondo. Gli affreschi sono una rara e preziosa testimonianza della cultura religiosa medievale inglese e delle sue espressioni artistiche. Sul fondo del presbiterio si trova il retablo di Thornham Parva, giunto qui nel 1927 per donazione e noto come la più grande pala d'altare del medioevo inglese cattolico sopravvissuta allo Scisma anglicano e all'iconoclastia puritana. Divide il presbiterio dalla navata un leggero e traforato tramezzo in quercia del XV secolo. Sempre nel presbiterio si trovano un baule in legno rinforzato in ferro battuto del XIV secolo, deposito di paramenti e strumenti liturgici, e una Bibbia del 1640, conservata in una teca. Il fonte battesimale ottagonale, con ampia base, è pure di inizio XIV secolo. Note Bibliografia (EN) The Thornham Parva Retable, Cambridge, Harvey Miller Pub, 2004.

St John the Baptist's Church, Tredington

St John the Baptist's Church is an Anglican church in Tredington, Gloucestershire, England, and in the Diocese of Gloucester. It is Grade I listed. The earliest parts of the church date from the 12th century, and the plan of the building is little changed from that time. History and description The church, in existence by the 12th century, was originally a chapel of ease to Tewkesbury Abbey, being included in 1341 among the chapelries of Tewkesbury. It was recorded in 1572 as a parish church. The building is of ashlar and coursed rubble; inside, the walls are bare of paint or plaster. There is a chancel, nave and south porch, and a west timber-framed tower. The south and north doorways, the chancel arch and one window in the chancel date from the 12th century, together suggesting that the plan of the building is not much changed from that time. The tower was erected in 1700, replacing a bell-cot, and rebuilt in 1883; the rebuilding, funded by John and Elizabeth Surman, included a pyramidal roof and a clock. There is a Norman arch over the south doorway: it has two orders, both decorated with chevrons and with alternating sandstone and limestone voussoirs. There is a blocked north doorway, dating from the 12th century, with a carved sandstone tympanum above, now badly weathered. It depicts a seated figure flanked by two kneeling figures, each holding a book. The hood mould around the tympanum is of alternating sandstone and limestone and has animal head-stops. The south porch has a datestone showing the date 1624 and initials CB, thought to be those of Charles Bick. One of the stone flags in the floor of the porch has an embedded fossilised skeleton of an ichthyosaurus. Interior Inside, the wide chancel arch has on the nave side two orders and a decorated hood mould. In the chancel, there is a long stone bench set against the north wall, and one of the windows in the south wall, narrow and round-headed, is Norman. The altar-rails date from the early 17th century. There are monumental inscriptions in the chancel including several for members of the Surman, Cartwright and Bick families in the 17th and 18th centuries. The pews and oak pulpit have similar Jacobean-style carvings, and are thought to date from the late 18th century. There is a coat of arms on the west wall of the nave of the Surman family, for many years lords of the manor at Tredington Court. Churchyard In the churchyard is a tall slender cross shaft, on a square plinth with four steps, dating from the 14th century. It is Grade II listed. The cross at the apex is 19th or 20th-century.
