St Mary the Virgin's Church, Cavendish

St Mary the Virgin's Church, Cavendish is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Cavendish, Suffolk. History A Saxon church at Cavendish is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The church is mostly 14th-century, with building dating from about 1300 to about 1485, with some 19th-century additions and alterations. The oldest parts of the church, dating from about 1300, are the Tower, the Porch and the lower parts of the walls of the aisles. In 1350 the South aisle walls were rebuilt to their present height and new windows were inserted. Simon Jenkins awarded the church 1 star in his England's Thousand Best Churches. Exterior The exterior of the church is dressed with flint. Above the parapet is a stair turret. The 14th-century tower is surmounted by a lantern. The building of the chancel was made possible by a bequest from Sir John Cavendish in the 1380s. During the Peasants' Revolt Sir John's son, also named John, was responsible for the death of Wat Tyler. As a result, Sir John was lynched by his parishioners. He reached the church where he pleaded sanctuary by grasping the handle of the church door, but was taken to the market place at Bury St. Edmunds and beheaded by a mob led by Jack Straw on 15 June 1381. He was buried in Bury St. Edmunds. His bequest to St Mary's was made by way of recompense. The nave was probably the work of Reginald Ely, designer of King's College Chapel in Cambridge. Interior The church contains a 16th-century Flemish reredos, in the North aisle, showing the crucifixion. It is set in a frame by Sir Ninian Comper. Until the late 1530s, a chantry altar probably stood in the church, perhaps for a guild. There is a squint that would have allowed the chantry priest a view of the high altar. The canopied niche to the right of the chest contains a modern image of the Madonna and child. The altar was replaced by a tomb chest for Sir George Colt, who died in 1570. There is a large roundel memorial in the South aisle to Sue Ryder and Leonard Cheshire, best known for their war relief work in the years after 1945. At the east end of the south aisle is the tomb chest for Sir George Colt, who died in 1570. In the early years of the 21st century. The resulting interior is "a fit-for-purpose Anglican worship space which is clean, bright and comfortable". Organ The church has a two manual pipe organ dating from 1884 by Henry Jones and Sons. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.

The church is dedicated to either St Mary the Virgin or St Mary Magdalene. The west window is the oldest stained glass, depicting Christ as the Good Shepherd, by Daniel Bell (1840-1915). Darwin family The Church, as with the village of Downe itself, is closely linked with the naturalist Charles Darwin who lived at nearby Down House from 1842 to his death in 1882. John Brodie Innes was the vicar from 1846. Darwin played a leading part in the parish work of the church, but from around 1849 would go for a walk on Sundays while his family attended church. Charles's wife, Emma Darwin, was Unitarian and the family would face away when the Anglican Trinitarian Creed was read. Several members of the Darwin family are buried in the churchyard, Charles's brother Erasmus Alvey Darwin (died 1881), Emma Darwin (1896), Charles and Emma's children Mary Eleanor Darwin (1842), Charlie (1858), Elizabeth (1926), Henrietta (1927); Elinor Monsell (1954) and her husband, Charles and Emma's grandson Bernard Darwin (1961). Charles Darwin had wished to be buried here too but was instead buried in Westminster Abbey. Emma Darwin's sister Elizabeth Wedgwood and Charles and Emma's Aunt Sarah Wedgwood are also buried together in the St Mary the Virgin churchyard. Present day St Mary's stands in the Conservative Evangelical tradition of the Church of England. Its graveyard is home to a yew tree that is one of the Great Trees of London.

St Mary's Church, Glynde

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a Grade II* listed Anglican church in the village of Glynde in East Sussex. It was built in the 1760s by Richard Trevor, bishop of Durham, whose family seat was the adjacent Glynde Place. History There was a medieval church, which stood at an angle to the present building; little is known about it. A new church was built on the site by Richard Trevor, who was Bishop of Durham from 1752 to 1771, and a member of the Trevor family who owned Glynde Place. It was designed by Sir Thomas Robinson, who had worked for Richard Trevor on his Bishop's Palace in County Durham. The work was done by John Morris, a builder from the nearby town of Lewes. The demolition of the old church, which was in a poor condition, began on 1 August 1763. The foundation and vault of the new church were built that year; the superstructure was built in 1764; the building was completed in 1765. The first service in the new church took place on Sunday 30 June of that year. A newspaper at the time reported that it is "a neat and elegant building, and is very decently ornamented." Description Sir Thomas Robinson had visited Italy and was enthusiastic about Renaissance architecture: the church is built in Palladian style. The walls are faced with knapped flint and have an ashlar base. In the tympanum of the pediment above the west wall, the coat of arms of Richard Trevor is displayed in Portland stone. Above the pediment is a bell, housed in an open ashlar belfry. The space inside is a perfect rectangle, except that the communion table is in a recess in the thickness of the east wall. There is a coved ceiling. Most of the interior details, including the box pews, are contemporary with the building. In 1841 a gallery, to accommodate more people, was built at the west end.

St Mary's Church, Great Yarmouth

St Mary's Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. It is situated on Regent Road in the centre of the town. It was originally built by the Society of Jesus in the late 1840s and it is now administered by the Diocese of East Anglia. The architect was Joseph John Scoles who also designed the Anglican St Mary's church in the Southtown area of Great Yarmouth and it is a Grade II* listed building. History Foundation In 1824, the Jesuits started a mission in the town for the Catholics of the area. It began under a Fr Tate. Originally, he purchased a house and warehouse in the town for the congregation to worship in. However, by 1841, the congregation had become too numerous and a new larger location had to be sought. Fr Tate's replacement, Fr Lopez, bought the land for St Mary's and construction started in 1848. Construction The church was completed two years later and it was opened by the Bishop of Northampton, William Wareing on 24 September 1850. The architect was Joseph John Scoles who designed numerous churches for the Jesuits, such as Immaculate Conception Church, Farm Street in London, St Francis Xavier Church in Liverpool, St Ignatius Church in Preston and Holy Cross Church in St Helens. In Great Yarmouth, he also designed the Bure Bridge in 1829 and the Anglican church in Southtown in 1831, which is also dedicated to St Mary. Despite the Bure Bridge collapsing on 2 May 1845 (because construction workers made the bridge wider than specified), Joseph Scoles was still invited back to the town to design St Mary's church. In 1962 the Jesuits left Great Yarmouth and handed the church over to the Diocese of East Anglia. From 1972 to 1995, the Augustinians served parish before it was again handed back to the diocese, who have remained there ever since. Interior The church has stained glass windows from Franz Mayer & Co. installed in 1860 and 1890 as well as glass by Hardman & Co. in Birmingham, installed in the 1850s. The church organ was installed in the 19th century and has 1032 pipes. News On Tuesday during holy week, 29 March 2018, the church was a victim of a hate crime when an arsonist started several small fires in the church and left a picture of the devil on the altar. The church remained open for the Easter weekend and the altar was rededicated on 31 May 2018. Parish Within the parish is St Ignatius of Loyola Church in Caister-on-Sea. It was built in the 1960s. In 1965, the diocese bought the land, commissioned the architects Wearing & Hastings, and built the church two years later. The church was dedicated to the founder of the Jesuits in recognition for their local contribution. The parish has a close relationship with the nearby St Mary's Primary School. The school was founded for the children of local Catholic families, and now it accepts children from all faiths and communities. The parish is the main Catholic church for Great Yarmouth and has Masses at 10:00 on Saturday and at 11:00 on Sunday.
