St Saviour's Church, Puxton

The Church of The Holy Saviour in Puxton, Somerset, England, dates from the 13th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was vested in the Trust on 1 August 2002. It is a small, mostly unaltered medieval church, which was originally a chapel of ease to the Church of St Andrew in Banwell. It was consecrated in 1539. The leaning tower started to settle towards the southwest while being built, due to the peaty foundations which the church was built upon. This meant that the 15th-century tower was never built as high as was intended. The church is externally Perpendicular in style, with an earlier Saxo-Norman nave. The interior of the church is very light with a floor of irregular stone flags into which several ledger stones are set. The oak box pews on the north side of the nave are probably early 18th century, and the oak reading desk and pulpit are Jacobean, while the font is Norman. The royal arms of 1751 are over the south door. The 1557 labelled shield of Sir John St Lo's achievement can be seen above the entrance door. The Seyntloo (aka St Loe) family are past owners of Over Langford Manor. In June 2000 structural problems were found with the roof timbers, the building was closed for some time, and on 2 July 2002, the church was declared redundant by Order in Council.

Church of St Swithin, Ganarew

The Church of St Swithin is a parish church in Ganarew, south Herefordshire, England. The parish church is dedicated to St Swithin, although the 1868 National Gazetteer notes a dedication to St Luke. The parish is within the Church of England Diocese of Hereford, and the church is a Grade II listed building. History Giles Rawlines served as rector in 1624. Tamalanc, a son of Brychan, may be the same person as Tiuinauc (or Tywinauc or Tywannog), a patron saint connected with the Church of St Swithin's history. The church was rebuilt in about 1850 by John Prichard, a noted church builder and restorer of the Victorian period. The church required the expensive restoration because of the failing foundations. Architecture and fittings The church is of the English Gothic architectural style, described by Pevsner as Middle Pointed or Decorated Period, and by Historic England simply as Decorated. It is built of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and a tiled roof. The nave has windows with hoodmoulds. They have cusped ogee-headed lights and spandrels. The bellcote has similar cusped ogee-headed openings and a small spire with decorative lucarnes. The reredos inside the church forms the village war memorial, a sculpture in white marble featuring the figure of Christ accompanied by two angels. Grounds The graveyard contains a Gothic pinnacle memorial to the Bannerman family who lived nearby at Wyastone Leys. The medieval churchyard cross is a scheduled ancient monument. There is also a war grave of a Royal Engineers soldier of World War I. References External links St Swithins, Ganarew at wyereaches.org
Church of St Thomas, Thurlbear

The Church of St Thomas in the village of Thurlbear, which is in the parish of Orchard Portman, Somerset, England, dates from the 12th century. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. It is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church was vested in the Trust on 1 November 1988. The church shows clear signs of the Norman church upon which later structures were built. Pevsner cites the Norman arcades and narrow aisles characteristic of that era and "never enlarged to satisfy later medieval taste." He dates the church to "hardly later than c. 1110." The Churches Conservation Trust launched a programme of repairs at the church, with the Somerset County Council conducting an archaeological recording and survey in conjunction with these efforts.

Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, Clapham, Bedfordshire

Church of St Thomas of Canterbury (also Clapham Parish Church, or Thomas à Becket) is a parish church and Grade I listed building in Clapham, Bedfordshire, England. It became a listed building on 13 July 1964. Though the church can be traced back before AD 1000, there is no record of the original patron saint, Thomas Becket having been so well accepted. The church is built in the Anglo-Saxon style, possibly early 10th century. There are narrow semi-circular-headed windows. The upper story is Early Norman. The parapet is 17th century. The remainder of the church was entirely rebuilt in 1861, by Sir George Gilbert Scott. It features a chancel, nave, and two aisles. Church tower The church tower, which dates to the 11th or 12th century, measures 26 metres (85 ft) in height and houses 5 bells, which are still occasionally used for weddings and ceremonies. The tower is widely recognised as one of the best and most remarkable remaining examples of Early Saxon architectural work in England. Leadership As of 2026, St Thomas' current vicar is the Reverend Stephen Liley, who has served there since 2002. In 2017, he was appointed as an Honorary Canon of St Albans Cathedral.

Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, Cothelstone

The romanesque red sandstone Church of St Thomas of Canterbury in Cothelstone, Somerset, England dates from the 12th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. It was largely restored in 1864. It includes memorials to the Stawell family including: Sir Matthew de Stawell, died 1379, and his wife Elizabeth, and John Stawell, died 1603, and has been supported by the Esdailes family who have been more recent lords of the manor. The church is closely associated with Cothelstone Manor which is also a listed building. Services are held each week using the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. The parish is part of the benefice of Bishop's Lydeard with Lydeard Saint Lawrence, Bagborough, Combe Florey and Cothelstone within the archdeaconry of Taunton. Restoration Since 2000 significant repair work has been carried out. In 2002 the tower and porch were repointed. In 2006 the roof tiles were removed, new felt put underneath, the original tiles put back and the guttering repaired to keep out the west country weather. In 2008 the church was rewired, the lighting added to and the under-pew heating replaced with a modern equivalent. All the above was paid for with nearly £45,000 raised within the parish, two small grants from sympathetic charitable trusts, a small contribution from the Diocese of Bath and Wells and an overseas donation from the Esdailes. Further renovation work is planned to the vestry, which is at the bottom of the tower, and the provision of a lavatory.

Kościół św. Tomasza Męczennika w Newcastle upon Tyne (ang. St Thomas the Martyr, Newcastle upon Tyne) – anglikański kościół parafialny zlokalizowany w centrum angielskiego miasta Newcastle upon Tyne, w ogrodzie St Thomas’ Green, na narożniku Barras Bridge i Saint Mary’s Place. Należy do diecezji Newcastle. Stanowi zabytek II* stopnia. Historia Kościół istnieje w mieście od co najmniej lat 70. XII wieku. Budynek ten znajdował się nad rzeką Tyne, na terenie obecnego nabrzeża. W 1827 rozpoczęto budowę obecnej świątyni na Haymarket, kiedy (w 1826) parafię objął wielebny Richard Clayton. Została ona zaprojektowana przez Johna Dobsona (była to pierwsza realizacja tego architekta). Budowę ukończono w 1830. Okres duszpasterstwa Claytona mocno wpłynął na wzrost liczby wiernych. Architektura i wyposażenie Neogotycka (angielska) świątynia ma charakterystyczną pustą górną część wieży. Obiekt bywa nazywany „czarnym kościołem” ze względu na przebarwienia elewacji wywołane długotrwałym oddziaływaniem nań przemysłu wydobywczego. Kościół wzniesiono z piaskowca, dach kryty jest łupkiem. Nawa główna łączy się z wieżą od zachodu. Prezbiterium z kruchtami przylega od północy i południa. Czterokondygnacyjna wieża ma wysoki, profilowany łuk zachodni (na trzeciej kondygnacji umieszczono zegar). Okna są ostrołukowe, sparowane w pięcioprzęsłowej nawie i potrójne (ze służkami) od strony wschodniej. Wnętrze jest wyłożone boazerią, a powyżej tynkowane. Sklepienie jest krzyżowo-żebrowe we wszystkich trzech nawach. Galerie znajdują się z trzech stron, przy czym na zachodniej widnieje data: 1837. Organy posadowiono w 1960. Witraż wschodni pochodzi z 1881. We wnętrzu znajduje się pomnik z białego marmuru poświęcony Robertowi Wasneyowi zmarłemu w 1836 autorstwa C. Tate’a. Po 2000 usunięto z wnętrza część ławek i chrzcielnicę oraz zamontowano szklane drzwi wejściowe, co miało na celu zmaksymalizowanie powierzchni użytkowej wnętrza.

Church of St Vigor, Stratton-on-the-Fosse

The Anglican Church of St Vigor in Stratton-on-the-Fosse, Somerset, England, dates from the 12th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. Saint Vigor was a French bishop and Christian missionary. After the Norman conquest of England, his cult moved from France to England. This church is one of only two English churches dedicated to him, the other being at Fulbourn in Cambridgeshire. The original Norman church was founded by Geoffrey de Montbray the Bishop of Coutances after he became the lord of the manor following the Norman Conquest. Only the doorway on the south side of the church, the chancel arch and font remain from this period. The pulpit dates from the 14th century along with the chancel. The stained glass windows contain fragments dating from medieval times, which were incorporated into the more recent windows after damage which may have occurred during the English Civil War. The Long chapel, named after the benefactors, the Long family, was built in 1782. The churchyard contains a war grave of a Somerset Light Infantry soldier of World War II. St. Vigor's Church forms a joint benefice with St. John's in nearby Chilcompton, and falls within the archdeaconry of Bath.

St Wilfrid’s Church (Standish)

Die der Church of England zuzuordnende St Wilfrid’s Church in der mittelenglischen Stadt Standish im Metropolitan County Greater Manchester (ehemals Lancashire) trägt das Patrozinium des hl. Wilfrid von York († um 710); die Pfarrkirche ist als Grade-I-Bauwerk eingestuft und gehört zum Major Churches Network. Lage Die knapp 15.000 Einwohner zählende Stadt Standish liegt etwa 40 km (Fahrtstrecke) nordwestlich der Industriestadt Manchester in einer Höhe von ca. 50 m; die Großstadt Wigan ist nur etwa 5 km in südlicher Richtung entfernt. Die St Wilfrid’s Church liegt im Zentrum der Stadt. Geschichte Eine Kirche an diesem Platz ist bereits im Jahr 1205 dokumentiert. Die heutige Kirche stammt jedoch aus den 1580er Jahren und ist im späten Perpendicular Style gestaltet. In den nachfolgenden Jahrhunderten wurde Kapellen (vestries) und der Glockenturm (bell tower) hinzugefügt. In den Jahren 1913/14 wurden Ausbesserungsarbeiten vorgenommen; dabei erhielt das mittelalterlich aussehende Torhaus seine heutige Gestalt. Architektur Der unten quadratische, in den oberen Teilen jedoch auf oktogonalem Grundriss fortgesetzte Glockenturm (Höhe ca. 50 m) mit seinem geschlossenen steinernen Spitzhelm ist ein Werk des 19. Jahrhunderts. Der im elisabethanischen Stil gestaltete Kirchenbau ist dreischiffig und basilikal; er verfügt jedoch nicht über ein Querhaus, denn unmittelbar hinter dem Langhaus beginnt der durch einen Triumphbogen und ein später hinzugefügtes Gitter abgetrennte Chorbereich. Die in ganz England einzigartige kassettenförmig gestaltete und mit gekreuzten Hölzern versehene Decke stammt wahrscheinlich noch aus der Bauzeit der Kirche.

St Yeghiche Armenian Church

St Yeghiche Armenian Church (armenisch Սուրբ Եղիշե եկեղեցի, Umschrift: Surb Jeghische jekeghezi) ist die größte Kirche der Armenischen Apostolischen Kirche in Großbritannien. Sie steht in Cranley Gardens (Muswell Hill), Kensington, London. Die Kirche wurde ursprünglich 1867 von einem privaten Bauunternehmer, C.J. Freake, erbaut als St. Peter’s Anglican Church und wurde zur anglikanischen Pfarrkirche von Kensington (St Peter’s). Durch ein Order in Council vom Dezember 1972 wurde Saint Peter’s für überflüssig erklärt, mit dem Ziel, das Gebäude an die Armenische Orthodoxe Kirche vermieten zu können. Die Nutzung für anglikanische Gottesdienste endete im Januar 1973. Das Gebäude wurde von einem Wohltäter 1998 aufgekauft und restauriert, wobei zusätzliche Einrichtungen gemacht wurden, um sie an die Anforderungen der Armenischen Liturgie anzupassen. Die Kirche ist dem armenischen Heiligen Jeghische (Եղիշե, wiss. Umschrift: Ełiše 5. Jh.) geweiht. In Kensington gibt es eine weitere armenische Kirche, die jedoch nach traditionellem armenischen Baustil errichtet wurde: St Sarkis. Die Kirche verfügt über eine vier-manualige Orgel.

Church of St Yeghiche, South Kensington

St Yeghiche Armenian Church (Armenian: Սուրբ Եղիշե եկեղեցի) is the largest church of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Great Britain. It faces Cranley Gardens, South Kensington, London. The church was privately built in 1867 as St Peter's Anglican Church by highly successful developer, Charles James Freake, whose widow came to live later in life in one of the adjacent houses. It became the Church of England parish church of Kensington (St Peter's). By an Order in Council of December 1972 Saint Peter's was declared redundant with the intention that the building be leased to the Armenian Apostolic Church. Anglican services ceased in January 1973. The building was purchased by a benefactor in 1998 and restored, with the addition of features required by the Armenian Divine Liturgy. Another Armenian church in Kensington, of the traditional Armenian style, is St Sarkis. References External links Photos of the church on Flickr Specification of the four-manual Willis/Walker organ

Kostel Nanebevstoupení (Hall Green)

Kostel Nanebevstoupení, anglicky Church of the Ascension, původně Job Marston Chapel a Hall Green Chapel, je anglikánský farní kostel ve Hall Green v arcidiecézi Birmingham. Byl dokončen v roce 1704 a předpokládá se, že byl navržen sirem Williamem Wilsonem a byl pojmenován po Jobu Marstonovi, obyvateli Hall Green, který daroval 1000 liber k výstavbě budovy poblíž kaple. Byl zasvěcen 25. května 1704. Původní budova je ve stylu královny Anny. Exteriér budovy tvoří červená cihla. Kamenná entablatura, zábradlí podepřená dórskými pilastry a okenní architrávy jsou z tvarovaného kamene. Věž na západním konci lodi má osmiúhelníkové horní patro s měděnou kupolí. Uvnitř je loď zakryta ozdobným stropem. Kněžiště a transepty byly postaveny mezi lety 1860 a 1866. Je to nejranější klasicistní kostel dochovaný v Birminghamu. Na každé straně lodi jsou tři okna s polokruhovým zakončením. Střecha je pokrytá břidlicí. Až do založení diecéze Birmingham v roce 1905 se město Birmingham nacházelo na hranicích dvou historických biskupství. Diecéze byla rozdělena na dvě arcidiákonství Birmingham a Aston. V březnu 1907 se kaple stala známou jako farní kostel Hall Green v nové diecézi Birmingham. V roce 1933 byl patronát převeden na biskupa z Birminghamu. Dne 25. dubna 1952 získal památkový status II.

Church of the Ascension, Hall Green

The Church of the Ascension (previously known as the Job Marston Chapel and Hall Green Chapel) is a Church of England parish church in the Hall Green area of Birmingham, England. History Completed in 1704, it is believed to have been designed by Sir William Wilson and was named after Job Marston, a resident at Hall Green Hall, who donated £1,000 towards the construction of the building near the hall. It was consecrated on 25 May 1704. The original building and additions are in the Queen Anne style. The exterior of the building consists of red brick and a stone entablature and balustrade supported by Doric pilasters and the window architraves are of moulded stone. The tower at the west end of the nave has an octagonal brick upper storey with a copper cupola. Inside, the nave is covered in a coved plaster ceiling. The chancel and transepts were constructed between 1860 and 1866. It is the earliest classical church surviving within Birmingham. On each side of the nave are three semi-circular headed windows. The roof is slated. Until the foundation of the diocese of Birmingham in 1905, the city of Birmingham was situated on the boundaries of two ancient sees. The Diocese was divided into the two archdeaconries of Birmingham and Aston. In March 1907, the chapel became known as the parish church of Hall Green in the new diocese of Birmingham. In 1933, the patronage was transferred from the Trustees to the Bishop of Birmingham. On 25 April 1952 it was designated Grade II* listed status.
