Церковь Святого Медарда и Святого Гильдарда

Церковь Святого Медарда и Святого Гильдарда (англ. St Medardus and St Gildardus Church) — англиканский храм в Литл Байтам (Линкольншир). Церковь посвящена двум католическим святым — Медарду и Гильдарду, которые, по легенде, были братьями-близнецами. Хотя во Франции эти святые весьма популярны, в Великобритании им посвящён лишь этот единственный храм. Строительство церкви велось долгое время начиная с VII века. В её архитектуре просматриваются пять различных стилей, относящихся к разным периодам. Самый ранний из них — англосаксонский; к этому периоду относятся, в частности, алтарная дверь и вырезанные над нею птицы (вероятно, орлы: атрибут святого Медарда). Присутствуют также элементы норманского периода, в том числе тимпан и нижняя часть башни. Дальнейшее расширение и украшение церкви велось вплоть до XVII века. Для строительства использовались местные материалы: известняк, тёсаный камень, сланец. В настоящее время церковь является действующей. В 1990 году ей был присвоен статус охраняемого архитектурного памятника. Рядом с церковью находится кладбище. В числе прочих памятников на нём имеется каменный крест в память о жертвах Первой и Второй мировых войн. Примечания Ссылки Официальный сайт (англ.). Дата обращения: 5 января 2018.

St Michael's Catholic Church, Moor Street

St Michael's Catholic Church is a Catholic church located on Moor Street in Birmingham, England. It received Grade II listed building status on 25 April 1952. Formerly it was the New Meeting, a chapel of the English Dissenters. History The building was first erected in 1726, but was burnt down by the 1791 Priestley Riots, which targeted Dr. Joseph Priestley, who had been the minister at the Unitarian New Meeting since 1780. The Unitarian New Meeting House was rebuilt ten years later and reopened in 1803. A blue plaque on the building commemorates Priestley. When the New Meeting House became unsuitable for its congregation, they started construction on a new place of worship on Broad Street. The New Meeting House was purchased, remodelled and consecrated as a Roman Catholic Church in 1862, at the time catering for a large influx of Irish and Italian immigrants who had settled in the area, leading to the church being known as "the Italian church". Following World War II, the church was adopted by the exiled Polish ex-servicemen and their families, and again has seen an influx in Polish congregations following the 2004 accession of Poland into the European Union, causing the congregation to grow fourfold. This has led to the creation of separate Polish Mass services. Prior to moving into St Michael's Church, the first Catholic mission in Birmingham was founded in Masshouse Lane in 1687 by the Franciscan Fathers. When this was burnt down in anti-Catholic riots in 1688, Mass continued to be offered in various improvised chapels until 1862.

St Michael's Catholic School, High Wycombe

St Michael's Catholic School is a Catholic all-through school located in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. In 2023 the school had 1930 pupils. It enrols children aged 3 through 19. The school's catchment area for many years has included Aylesbury and surrounding areas, which has a high proportion of baptised Catholics. History The school was founded in 1973 as St Bernard's Catholic School as a satellite of St Bernard's Catholic Grammar School in Slough. According to the BBC's Domesday Project, in 1986 the school had 840 pupils between the ages of 11 and 16. The buildings were reported to have been 10 years old at the time, in front of extensive playing fields on a site of 17 acres. In September 2008, St Bernard's Catholic School was awarded specialist school status as a Science College, by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). In 2011, the school amalgamated with neighbouring Catholic primary school St Augustine's Catholic Primary, creating an all-through school called St Augustine's and St Bernard's Catholic School. In the same year, the school was among 494 schools nationwide praised by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust for its fast improvement of GCSE results. The number of pupils receiving five A* – C grades, including in English and Maths, increased from 42 per cent in 2009 to 64 per cent in 2011. From September 2012, the school stopped being called St Augustine's and St Bernard's Catholic School and is now known by its current name. In February 2017, it was announced that the school was proposing the creation of a satellite school at the Aylesbury Vale Academy's former site due to lack of space and population increase predictions. At the time the proposals were made, the school was expected to open in September 2018 with a Year 7 intake of 120 students. In September 2019, the new buildings were opened, with students relocating to the facility. Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Buckinghamshire County Council, in April 2023 St Michael's Catholic School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the St Thomas Catholic Academies Trust, but continues to be under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Northampton.

St Michael's Church, Basingstoke

St. Michael's Church is an Anglican parish church in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. It is located in the lower part of the town, near its centre, towards the northern end of Church Street and is of historical value. It is designated a Grade I listed building. History St. Michael's is a Grade I listed building. It is largely of 16th-century construction in stone and flint. As with many British churches, there is evidence of much alteration made to the building over the centuries The south porch of the church was built in 1539, and a War Memorial Chapel installed in 1920. The building takes the form of a double-aisled church with a west tower and two separate chapels either side of the chancel at the eastern end. There is an attached churchyard, which was closed to burials around 1860. In the southeast corner, St Stephen's Chapel and the vestry are the earliest parts extant, with exterior walls of rough flint and rubble, and a separate, steeply pitched, red tiled roof with an ostensibly Victorian chimney. During extensive repairs and changes to the interior of the church undertaken in 1840–1841, old foundations were met with, and it was noted that many stones had the remains of "ancient mouldings", suggesting that this part of the church was constructed on the site of, and using material from, an earlier construction. Interior and exterior evidence indicates that the roof of the chapel was once a lean-to. Interior fitments include an unornamented piscina and a wooden triptych (c. 1549) believed to be the work of Jan Sanders van Hemessen that was presented to the church by the then vicar James Millard in the 1870s. In his 1895 novel Jude the Obscure, Thomas Hardy described the church as gaunt and unattractive. In 1908 the newly ordained minister was Ernest Charles Saunders, who had recently married Lilian Elwyn Elliott. His wife left him by 1909 and went on to be a noted writer and anthropologist. She married again, but there is no evidence that she ever divorced Ernest. Present day In 2019, St Michael's Church had a central coral tradition, and was described as having a liberal Christian heritage. In 2022, the Church of England's Strategic Development Fund awarded the diocese £1.59m to establish a "resource church" in Basingstoke. It is now part of the HTB network, and charismatic evangelical in churchmanship. See also Basingstoke Team Parish Notes References Page, William, ed. (1911). Victoria County History – Hampshire.

St Michael's Church, Bath

St Michael's Church is a Church of England parish church in Bath, Somerset. Completed in 1837 to replace an earlier church, its spire is a landmark in the north of the city centre. Background The church stands between Broad and Walcot Streets, where they merge onto Northgate Street, next to the Post Office building. The south tower (referred to as the W tower) fronts Northgate street and is prominent on Bath's skyline. The church is known as St Michael's Without, it being the first church to be found outside Bath's city walls when exiting from the North Gate. The parish was in the past known as St Michael's with St Paul's. In 2013, with the closure of Holy Trinity Church on Queen's Square, the two parishes were merged and the parish reverted to its original name of St Michael Without. Medieval church The parish has been located here, outside the city walls, since medieval times. It was outside the Northgate and would have been passed by wool merchants travelling on London Road. The area that would in Georgian times be called Bath New Town (not to be confused with neighbouring Bathwick New Town) was known as St. Michael's. Georgian church Designed and constructed by craftsman J. Harvey between 1734 and 1742, the structure featured an impressive dome and was half the size of the current Victorian structure. The church is associated with several famous people. The actress Elizabeth Linley was baptised here in 1754. Victorian church The Georgian church was rebuilt in 1835–1837 to designs in Early English style by G. P. Manners, the city architect. The building provided seating for 780 and cost £6,000. The rectangular limestone ashlar building is under one roof to provide enough height in the aisles to accommodate galleries (since removed). The tall three-light aisle windows have pointed heads and decorative colonnettes, and the tower which projects to the south has a matching, taller, triple window on its south side below a smaller rose window. The tower carries an ornate octagonal open lantern and a spire. Fittings include canvasses from the mid-18th century altar-piece of the earlier church, among them a Christ with the Cross by William Hoare. The organ was installed by William Sweetland in 1847. The interior of the church was remodelled in 1901 by Wallace Gill. The church was designated as Grade II* listed in 1950. The listing describes it as a notable example of a pre-Pugin Gothic Revival church with an opulent High Victorian sanctuary, and notes that the high-quality interior is in fine condition.
