St Mary's Church, Westham

St Mary's Church, Westham, is an active Anglican parish church in High Street, Westham, East Sussex, England, standing to the west of Pevensey Castle. The earliest fabric in the church, in the south wall of the nave and in the transept, dates from the late 11th century. The north aisle and the tower were added to the church in the late 14th century. The chancel was either rebuilt or remodelled in about 1420. During the 1870s restorations were carried out, including one by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin in 1876–77, when the seating was increased from 297 to 403. The church is constructed in flint with stone dressings and a tiled roof. Its plan consists of a nave with a north aisle and a north porch, a south transept, a chancel with a north chapel, and a west tower. The tower contains six bells, the heaviest weighing over 10-1-10cwt (525 kg) and being tuned to G major and being cast in 1921. The tenor bell, originally cast in 1789 and recast in 1921 with the other bells, is engraved with a war memorial, listing the bell ringers of the village lost during the Great War. The church has an active band of bell ringers, which is affiliated to the Eastern District of the Sussex Country Association of Change Ringers. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September the bells were rung fully muffled until the day after the state funeral on 19 September 2022, as part of Operation London Bridge. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. The church today St Mary's Church was listed at Grade I by English Heritage on 30 August 1966. Such buildings are defined as being of "exceptional interest" and greater than national importance. As of February 2001, it was one of 47 Grade I listed buildings, and 2,173 listed buildings of all grades, in the district of Wealden. The parish covers an extensive rural area in the district of Wealden. It includes Westham village, the hamlets of Hankham and Rickney, an area of coastal development between Pevensey Bay village and the edge of Eastbourne, and a small suburban area of Eastbourne around the former hamlet of Friday Street.

St Mary's Church, Whitegate

St Mary's Church is in the village of Whitegate, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Middlewich. Its benefice is combined with that of St Peter, Little Budworth. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The authors of the Buildings of England series state that the "church is placed so happily against trees on a hillside that it makes the perfect, comforting picture of the Victorian village church". History A chapel has stood on this site of the present church since the founding of the Cistercian Abbey of Vale Royal in 1277. The Cistercian were known as the white monks and the name of the village at the gate of the abbey refers to this. A reference is made in an act of 1542 (33 Hen. 8. c. 32) to a church at the White Gate of Vale Royal Abbey. There are documentary records relating to repairs to the church between 1602 and 1646. In 1715 the church was a wood and plaster structure in a ruinous condition. Around 1728 the church was rebuilt in brick, the aisles were widened, and the walls of the nave were raised to allow galleries to be built. In 1874–75 the church was rebuilt largely at the expense of Lord Delamere, the architect being John Douglas of Chester. Douglas remodelled the exterior almost completely, but retained much of the earlier internal fabric. Architecture Exterior The church is built in brick with a tiled roof. Its plan consists of a six-bay nave with aisles, a chancel and a south porch. At the west end is a small tower with an octagonal shingled spire. To the southwest is a vestry. Interior The octagonal timber piers from the previous Perpendicular church have been retained. The reredos and the chancel arcades date from around 1876–77, which the authors of the Buildings of England series are of the opinion are not by Douglas. There is a chime of eight tubular bells that were set up to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. A medieval bell was presented to the church by Thomas Cholmondeley in 1810. The parish registers date from 1559. External features The gateposts, which are crowned by balls, are dated 1736. The iron gates were given in memory of Miss Emily Katherine Cholmondeley. The churchyard contains the war graves of two soldiers and a Royal Air Force officer of World War II.

St Mary's Church, Wilton

St Mary's Church in the Market Place of Wilton, Wiltshire, England, was built in the 15th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II* listed building, and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. St Mary's was built on the site of an earlier church at which Bishop Robert de Bingham was consecrated in 1229 before the completion of his cathedral church at Salisbury; his statue is still visible on the west gable. By the 9th century the Benedictine convent of Wilton Abbey was attached to the church. During the 14th and 15th centuries other medieval churches in Wilton closed and combined with St Mary's which was rebuilt and expanded to become, by the 16th century, the sole parish church. In 1441 parish records include the purchase of a great bell and c. 1628 a carved pulpit was installed. In the early 19th century a parish rate was levied for the restoration of the church and a chandelier and pulpit sconces were bought to enable evening services. In 1845 a new Church of England parish church of St Mary and St Nicholas was built at the instigation of the Countess of Pembroke and her younger son Baron Herbert of Lea, designed by the architect Thomas Henry Wyatt and D. Brandon in the Italianate Romanesque style, with considerable Byzantine influences. The bells and many memorials from the old church were transferred to the new. As a result, the old church was partially demolished, apart from the chancel and one bay of the nave. The ruins consist of the three arches of the south arcade, fragments of the north arcade and the altered eastern arch of the west tower or west window within the churchyard. Restoration was undertaken between 1933 and 1939 by Robert Worth Bingham, the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 1933 to 1937, who claimed descent from Robert de Bingham. The church was declared redundant on 30 May 1972, and was vested in the Trust on 15 November 1977.

St Mary’s Church (Wimbledon)

St Mary’s Church ist eine Kirche der Church of England im Londoner Stadtteil Wimbledon im Südwesten von London. Sie existiert seit dem 12. Jahrhundert und ist möglicherweise die Kirche, welche im Domesday Book im Morlake Hundred verzeichnet ist. Im Verzeichnis der Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest ist sie seit 1949 Grade II*. Geschichte Seit dem Jahr 1086 gab es an der Stelle vier Kirchen. Die mittelalterliche Kirche wurde Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts durch die zweite Kirche ersetzt. Die georgianische Kirche wurde 1780 errichtet und musste 1843 der heutigen viktorianischen Kirche weichen. Der Architekt der heutigen Kirche ist George Gilbert Scott. Er hatte damals ein Budget von 4000 Pfund. Deshalb verwendete er Teile der früheren Kirche wieder und diese sind hierdurch erhalten. Die Balken im Chordach sind zum Beispiel mittelalterlichen Ursprungs. Die Kirche hat acht Glocken. 1984 wurden alle acht Glocken erneuert. Die älteste Glocke ist No. 7, die dem Heiligen Bartholomäus gewidmet ist und 1520 von einer Londoner Glockengießerei hergestellt wurde. Weblinks Einzelnachweise

Iglesia de Santa María (Wreay)

La iglesia de Santa María en Wreay, Cumbria fue construida y diseñada por Sara Losh entre 1840 y 1842.​ Tiene una nave rectangular y un ábside semicircular siguiendo el estilo de las basílicas Romanas de la iglesia primitiva. En el atrio de la iglesia, se destaca un mausoleo de la hermana de Sara Losh, Katherine, y una copia de la Cruz de Bewcastle.​​ Descripción El especialista en literatura y arte Barry Bullen informa del entusiasmo de Dante Gabriel Rossetti por esta iglesia (y por otros trabajos de Losh) que Rossetti describió como "extraordinarias obras de arquitectura", "una iglesia de estilo bizantino y otras cosas ... llena de belleza e imaginativos detalles, a pesar de ser extremadamente graves y simples". Señala que es "mucho más original que las cosas hechas por los jóvenes arquitectos de ahora".​ También el historiador Nikolaus Pevsner destaca la calidad de la obra y la nomina como la mejor iglesia del periodo victoriano.​ El cantero que esculpió los diseños fue William Hindson. Una placa en su memoria se puede ver en la iglesia.​ La reconstrucción de la iglesia fue financiada por Sara Losh a condición de que ella tuviera la posibilidad de elegir el diseño. El diseño que eligió incluye muchas características que difieren de las de estilo gótico, que estaba entonces en boga para las iglesias. Ella había realizado el Grand Tour con su hermana Katherine y ambas eran solteras. Katherine murió en 1835 y Sara dedicó esta iglesia para ella. Fuera de la iglesia hay un mausoleo que contiene una estatua de mármol de tamaño real de Katherine Losh que fue hecha por David Dunbar basado en un dibujo suministrado por Sara.​ El diseño se basa en el de muchas iglesias italianas, como el Duomo di Parma, y será uno de los primeros ejemplos en Inglaterra de edificios de estilo ‘paleocristiano continental’ y es, posiblemente, uno de los primeros ejemplos del estilo que décadas después se relacionaría con el movimiento Arts and Crafts. La decoración propuesta por Sara Losh, tanto al interior como al exterior, hace referencia a la fertilidad y a la creación de la vida. Tomando como base imágenes del simbolismo pagano, el resultado logra establecer una continuidad de creencias religiosas que demuestra la formación de su autora.

St Mary's Church, Yealand Conyers

St Mary's Church is in the village of Yealand Conyers, Lancashire, England. It is an active Roman Catholic church in the diocese of Lancaster, and is linked with the churches of St Mary of the Angels, Bolton-le-Sands, and Our Lady of Lourdes, Carnforth. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It stands at the south end of the village. History The church was built in 1852 for Richard Gillow of nearby Leighton Hall, and designed by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley. It cost between £1,100 and £1,200. In 2009 the parish was formally linked with the Roman Catholic parishes of Carnforth and Bolton-le-Sands. Architecture Exterior St Mary's is constructed in limestone and has a steep slate-covered roof. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave, a chancel at a lower level, and a north porch. At the west end is a projecting bay with a central buttress. On each side of the buttress is a lancet window. The bay is surmounted by a double gabled bellcote.

St Mary's College, Oxford

St Mary's College was a former college in Oxford, England. It is not to be confused with the two other colleges also named "St. Mary's", more commonly known as Oriel College and New College. In the 15th century, the canons of Oseney Abbey attended lectures at Oxford University. Sometimes other Augustinian canons were allowed to stay at Oseney for the same purpose. However, this was by favour rather than by right. Therefore, in 1421, at a meeting of the Augustinian order in Leicester, a petition was sent to King Henry V to found a college for the order in Oxford. A site was found at the eastern end of what is now the modern frontage of Balliol College. However, this scheme was abandoned because the King died in 1422. Later, in 1435, Thomas Holden and his wife Elizabeth founded St Mary's College, donating land in the parishes of St Michael's North, and St Peter le Bailey, and also building a chapel. Rules were created by the Abbot of Oseney in 1448. Secular clerks could also be admitted, but had to pay for their accommodation. The college was headed by the prior studentium. The construction of the college was slow and Thomas Wolsey attempted to accelerate construction. Following the dissolution of the monasteries, the college fell into disrepair. The college was located on the east side of New Inn Hall Street and a gateway still remains. The rebuilt buildings are known as Frewin Hall, named after Richard Frewin (or Frewen), a scholar at Christ Church, Oxford (matriculated in 1698) and later Camden Professor of Ancient History. On 2 June 1582, Brasenose College leased the house to Griffith Lloyd. For many years the house was the official residence of the Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University. In 1860, Edward, Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, was briefly in residence at Frewin Hall with his tutors. The surviving buildings of the medieval college and the Norman town house that preceded it have been studied by Professor John Blair, who has reconstructed the plan of the site. The Tudor hammer-beam roof of the lost chapel was re-used in the 17th-century chapel of Brasenose College, where it now remains above a plaster ceiling. Ruins of the college were uncovered during excavations on the site in 2022. See also St Mary Hall, Oxford Oriel College New College Brasenose College References
St Mary's College, Oxford

St Mary's College var ett tidigare college vid Oxfords universitet i Oxford, England. Det ska inte förväxlas med de två andra college som också heter "St Mary's", mer kända som Oriel College och New College. Historia På 1400-talet deltog kanikerna vid Oseney Abbey i föreläsningar vid Oxfords universitet. Ibland tilläts andra augustinerkaniker att stanna i Oseney för samma ändamål. Detta var dock av fördel snarare än rätt. Därför skickades 1421, vid ett möte med augustinerorden i Leicester, en petition till kung Henrik V av England om att grunda ett college för orden i Oxford. En plats hittades i den östra änden av det som nu är den moderna fasaden till Balliol College. Planen övergavs dock eftersom kungen dog 1422. Senare, år 1435, grundade Thomas Holden och hans hustru Elizabeth St Mary's College, donerade mark i församlingarna St Michael's North och St Peter-le-Bailey, samt byggde även ett kapell. Regler skapades av abboten i Oseney år 1448. Sekulära tjänstemän kunde också tas anställas, men var tvungna att betala för sitt boende. Skolan leddes av prior studentium. Bygget av skolan gick långsamt och Thomas Wolsey försökte påskynda byggnationen. Efter klosterupplösningen förföll colleget. Skolan låg på östra sidan av New Inn Hall Street och en port finns fortfarande kvar. De återuppbyggda byggnaderna är kända som Frewin Hall, uppkallad efter Richard Frewin (eller Frewen), en lärare vid Christ Church, Oxford (inskriven 1698) och senare Camden Professor i antik historia. Den 2 juni 1582 hyrde Brasenose College ut huset till Griffith Lloyd, som var rektor och Regius Professor of Civil Law vid Jesus College, Oxford. Under många år var huset den officiella residensen för Regius Professor of Medicine vid Oxfords universitet. År 1860 bodde Edward, prins av Wales och senare kung Edvard VII, kortvarigt på Frewin Hall med sina lärare. De bevarade byggnaderna från det medeltida college och det normandiska stadshuset som föregick det har studerats av professor John Blair, som har rekonstruerat platsens plan. Taket på det förlorade kapellet återanvändes i 1600-talskapellet vid Brasenose College, där det nu finns ovanför ett stuckaturtak. Ruiner av skolan grävdes fram under utgrävningar på platsen 2022.
