Церковь Святого Дунстана (Кентербери)

Церковь Святого Дунстана (англ. St. Dunstan's, Canterbury) — англиканская церковь в городе Кентербери, Кент, Англия. Посвящена в честь Святого Дунстана (909—988). От церкви происходит название части города на левом берегу реки Стаур. Основание церкви датируется XI веком. Здание является памятником культурного наследия Великобритании I класса. Была восстановлена в 1878-80 годах церковным архитектором Юаном Кристианом. Является крупным местом паломничества благодаря своим связям со смертью Томаса Бекета и Томаса Мора. История Святой Дунстан Дунстан был архиепископом Кентерберийским с 960 по 978 год и был канонизирован вскоре после его смерти, став любимым святым англичан, пока 200 лет спустя его не вытеснил Томас Бекет. Дунстан был похоронен в Кентерберийском соборе, однако его могила была разрушена во время Реформации. Святой Томас Бекет В 1174 году, когда Генрих II начал свое покаянное паломничество из-за убийства архиепископа Томаса Беккета, он переоделся во вретище в церкви Святого Дунстана и начал своё паломничество оттуда к могиле Томаса Беккета в Кентерберийском соборе. Святой Томас Мор Дочь Томаса Мора, Маргарет, сняла голову своего отца с пики на Лондонском мосту и захоронила её в семейном склепе своего мужа, Уильяма Ропера. Семья Роперов жила неподалеку от нынешней улицы Святого Дунстана. То, что осталось от их дома, называется Воротами Ропера. Ныне это место отмечено мемориальной табличкой. Примечания

History The church is medieval in origin. It is now in the same parish as St. Mark's Church, Wootton, although the medieval parish only included a small part of what is now the larger settlement of Wootton Bridge. There was a detached portion of the parish at Chillerton. St Edmund's Church became Grade II* Listed building on 1 October 1953.

St Edward's School, Cheltenham

St Edward's School is a private co-educational Roman Catholic school in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. It comprises three schools: a nursery school, a preparatory school, and a senior school. History The school site, Charlton Park, was a hunting lodge that belonged to Edward the Confessor (1003–1066), the only English monarch to have been canonised. The manor of Cheltenham which included Charlton was royal property – hence the local area's name, Charlton Kings – and is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Later the property was owned by a succession of families, and the original medieval manor house, known as Forden House, was rebuilt several times. It now is substantially as it was in the 18th century, though incorporating 16th-century beams and brickwork. In 1935 the property was acquired by a religious order, the Sisters of La Sainte Union, originally from France, who established a convent in the house and added new buildings for classrooms. Charlton Park School was opened as a Roman Catholic school for girls in 1939. An area on the edge of the site was given for the building of a new Catholic parish church, Sacred Hearts, in 1957. The need for a similar Catholic school for boys in the Cheltenham area was met in 1958 when the Carmelite order of priests and brothers acquired another historic site, Ashley Manor, less than a mile away on the London Road. Here they opened Whitefriars School. The two schools had many natural links, with families educating their sons and daughters at them. For some years Catholic children who passed their 11+ were awarded places at the schools by the local education authority. Both schools attracted many pupils of other denominations, while retaining their Catholic ethos. New buildings were added on both sites as the schools grew. By the 1980s, the numbers of L.S.U. sisters and Carmelite friars had fallen, and both orders were leaving the field of education. The parents at Charlton Park and Whitefriars were keen that the Christian education provided in the schools should continue. A new lay-run trust was set up, and St Edward's School was created as a fully independent school. The main school (Years 7 - 13) took over the Charlton Park site, while the Whitefriars site became St Edward's Junior School (Years 1 - 6). In 2022, St Edward's was acquired by Alpha Schools, an independent school group. In 2023, the name of St Edward's Junior School was changed to Ashley Manor Preparatory School. In 2024, Anna Sandford-Squires replaced Matthew Burke as headteacher of the senior school.

St George’s, Bloomsbury

St George’s, Bloomsbury ist eine anglikanische Kirche im Londoner Stadtteil Bloomsbury. Die Gründung der Kirche Saint George’s, Bloomsbury im Londoner Stadtteil Holborn erfolgte im Rahmen eines 1711 vom britischen Parlament verabschiedeten ehrgeizigen Kirchenbauprogramms, durch das im Stadtgebiet von London Fünfzig Neue Kirchen errichtet werden sollten, von denen tatsächlich aber nur zwölf verwirklicht wurden. Erbaut wurde die Kirche 1716 bis 1730 durch den Architekten Nicholas Hawksmoor im Stil des englischen Barockklassizismus unter Einschluss von palladianischen Elemente. Unter den Kirchenbauten von Hawksmoor gilt St George als sein komplexestes Bauwerk. Die Entwurfsprobleme resultierten aus der vorgegebenen engen Grundstückssituation, wobei die von John Vanbrugh in seinem Entwurf vorgeschlagene Nordausrichtung der Kirche seitens der Kommission mit Verweis auf die geforderte liturgische Ostung abgelehnt wurde. Mit der weiteren Planung wurde Hawksmoor beauftragt, der eine Quersaalkirche – im Erstentwurf mit exedraartigen Anbauten – in Vorschlag brachte. Der südseitig vorspringende Portikus mit sechs korinthischen Säulen, wie er gleichzeitig auch bei Saint George’s, Hanover Square von John James und St Martin-in-the-Fields von James Gibbs vorkommt, wurde während des 18. Jahrhunderts zu einem Standardelement im englischen wie amerikanischen Kirchenbau. Der westseitig stehende Kirchturm, dessen gestufter Helmaufbau das Mausoleum von Halikarnassos nachbildet, wird von der Statue des Förderers der Kirche, des britischen Königs Georg I. von Hannover, bekrönt. Der Kirchenraum besteht aus einem zentralen Quadrat, dem nord- und südseitig durch Säulenstellungen ausgegrenzte Anräume angefügt sind, so dass sich ein Raumeindruck wie in den zentralen Hallen von Castle Howard und Blenheim Palace ergibt. Durch seine Umorientierung nach Norden erfuhr der Raum 1781 eine entschiedene Umgestaltung, indem die nördliche Empore zugunsten des hierhin verlegten Altarhauses beseitigt wurde.

Église Saint-Georges de Bloomsbury

L'église Saint-Georges est une église paroissiale située à Bloomsbury, dans le district londonien de Camden, au Royaume-Uni. Elle a été conçue par Nicholas Hawksmoor et consacrée en 1730. La crypte de l'église abrite le musée de la Comédie. Histoire La Loi de 1711 sur les commissaires pour les cinquante nouvelles églises de 1711 a compris que, en raison du développement rapide de Bloomsbury au cours de la dernière partie du XVIIe et du début du XVIIIe siècle, le quartier (qui faisait alors partie de la paroisse de St Giles-in-the-Fields) devait être séparé et doté d’une église paroissiale. Ils ont chargé Nicholas Hawksmoor, élève et ancien assistant de Sir Christopher Wren, de concevoir et de construire cette église, qu'il a ensuite construite entre 1716 et 1731. C'était la sixième et dernière de ses églises londoniennes. St George a été consacrée le 28 janvier 1730 par Edmund Gibson, évêque de Londres. Jusqu'en 2006, elle a fait l'objet d'importants travaux de conservation dirigés par le Fonds mondial pour les monuments et interdits aux visiteurs, la congrégation continuant normalement dans la vie de sa paroisse et se réunissant dans une chapelle voisine. Le bâtiment a rouvert complètement ses portes à partir d'octobre 2006, avec notamment une nouvelle exposition sur l'église, Hawksmoor et Bloomsbury, installée dans son sous-toit. Architecture La tour à gradins est influencée par la description du mausolée d'Halicarnasse par Pline l'Ancien, et surmontée d'une statue du roi George Ier en costume romain. Ses statues de lions et de licornes combattantes symbolisent la fin récente de la Première Rébellion Jacobite. Le portique est basé sur celui du temple de Bacchus à Baalbek, au Liban. La tour est représentée dans la célèbre gravure Gin Lane de William Hogarth (1751). Charles Dickens a utilisé St George comme cadre pour The Bloomsbury Christening dans les esquisses de Boz. L'église a été désignée édifice classé au grade I le 24 octobre 1951. Musée de la Comédie Depuis le 1er avril 2014, la crypte abrite le musée de la Comédie ouvert du mardi au dimanche. Le musée se concentre sur l’histoire de la comédie britannique et comprend des photos, des affiches, des accessoires, des vêtements et des costumes, des scripts, des films et des vidéos de comédiens et de spectacles britanniques. Il y a aussi un espace de performance de 100 places. L'espace a été rénové et utilisé comme galerie d'art dans les années 1990.

St George's Chapel, Chatham

St George’s Chapel is a Grade II listed chapel in Chatham, Kent, England. It is located within the former Chatham Dockyard area, historically known as HMS Pembroke, which served the Royal Navy for centuries. The chapel is notable for its strong naval associations. It is Grade II listed and is built in a design similar to that of the chapel at HMS Drake, Plymouth, now known as HMNB Devonport. History The foundation stone of St. George's Chapel within the barracks was laid on 27 April 1905 and on completion, was dedicated by the Lord Bishop of Rochester John Harmer, as St George's Church on 19 December 1906. St. George's remains a naval memorial centre, managed by the local authority, and is rich with windows and memorials dedicated to naval personnel. One example is a stained glass window that was unveiled by Queen Elizabeth (then Princess Elizabeth) on 29 October 1950, to commemorate Chatham-based ships that were lost in World War II. On 29 March 2013, BBC Radio 4's Any Questions? was broadcast from the chapel. It was presented by Ritula Shah and guests included Tom Newton Dunn, the political editor of The Sun newspaper; Clare Gerada (GP and medical director of the NHS Practitioner Health Programme); Lord Trimble (Irish Politician); and Angela Eagle (Labour Party MP). Meetings of Medway Council are now held in the chapel. References See also Saint George: Devotions, traditions and prayers Chatham Convict Prison

St George's Church, Barrow-in-Furness

St. George's Church is in St George's Square, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. It is the oldest active Anglican parish church in the town. The church is in the deanery of Barrow, the archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle. Its benefice is united with those of St Aidan, Newbarns, St Luke, Risedale, and St Perran, Roose, to form the South Barrow Team Ministry. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It stands at the southeast extremity of the town. History The church was built between 1859 and 1861, to a design by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley. Its patrons were the Duke of Buccleuch and the Duke of Devonshire. It was built at the suggestion of Sir James Ramsden to be the parish church in the developing town of Barrow-in-Furness. However it was left in a peripheral position as the town grew away from it, and especially when the railway station was relocated in 1882. The north aisle was added in 1867 by Paley, increasing the seating capacity to nearly 1,000. In 1883 the Ramsden Chapel was added, and the chancel was increased in size, being made higher and longer. In the Ramsden Chapel seating was added for use in civic occasions. This work was carried out by the partnership of Paley and Austin. The stained glass in the east window was destroyed in the Second World War. In 1982 the north aisle was partitioned off, and most of its furnishings were removed. Since the partitioning, the north aisle has been used as a church hall. Architecture Exterior St. George's is constructed in dry-jointed slate with red sandstone dressings; the roofs are slated. The slate came from the Duke of Devonshire's quarries at Kirkby, and the sandstone from St Bees. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave with north and south aisles under separate roofs, south and west porches, a two-bay chancel with a chapel to the south, an organ chamber and a vestry to the north, and a tower at the west end of the south aisle. The tower is in three stages with diagonal buttresses, and an octagonal stair turret at its southeast corner. The parapet is embattled. The windows contain Geometric tracery. Interior The arcades are carried on alternate octagonal and circular piers, their capitals being carved with foliage. The stained glass in the east window dates from 1951 and was designed by A. F. Erridge of Whipple and Company. Also in the church is stained glass by Hardman, and by Shrigley and Hunt. The church had a three-manual organ built in 1881 by Young, but this was scrapped in the 1980s and replaced with an electronic organ. See also List of ecclesiastical works by E. G.

St George's Interdenominational Chapel, Heathrow Airport

St George's Interdenominational Chapel, Heathrow Airport is a place of worship in Heathrow Airport near London, in England. It was designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd. A prayer room and counselling room adjoin it. The Heathrow Chaplaincy Team includes Christian chaplains from Anglican, Catholic, and Free Church denominations, and representatives from Muslim, Jewish, and other faiths. History and design The Chapel of St George was dedicated on 11 October 1968 as an Ecumenical Christian Chapel in the heart of London Heathrow Airport. Before then, chaplaincy work was pioneered by clergy from local parishes. The site, in the airport's geographical centre at the time, was provided by the then British Airports Authority (BAA), and funded largely by the Church of England (Anglican) and Roman Catholic and Free Churches. The challenge for architect Jack Forrest, of Frederick Gibberd and Partners, was to produce an ecumenical chapel to accommodate Christian traditions, as well as a haven of peace and quiet. Its design is that of a vaulted crypt, reminiscent of the style and atmosphere of a crypt in the early Christian church; its underground setting isolates it from the airport's noise and bustle. The three apses were originally intended for each of the contributing denominations; but in 1972 the main altar was rededicated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, and the Moderator of the Free Church Federal Council for shared ecumenical use. The other apses now accommodate the Blessed Sacrament (the tabernacle has two separate compartments for Anglican and Roman Catholic traditions) and baptismal font. The chapel is licensed for worship in accordance with the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855, with registration number 75203. On 1 May 1979 it was licensed for solemnising marriages according to the terms of the Marriage Act 1949. Worship and usage Regular services are held in the chapel, which functions as a community church. Additionally, other sacraments and services are held during the year by request and everyone is welcome to attend any of the public services. Outside, the Memorial Garden is dominated by a 16-foot oak cross, and provides a place of rest and refreshment for staff and passengers. The walls of the garden support memorial plaques for late members of the airport community. On the opposite side of the garden is the ground level multifaith prayer room opened in 1998. The Chaplains meet regularly for prayer; are on call 365 days a year, and are affiliated with the International Association of Civil Aviation Chaplains, covering airports throughout the world. Memorials A plaque in memory of Barbara Jane Harrison was unveiled on 23 October 1970. There are also memorial plaques to mark the Lockerbie bombing – one for crew, on the wall by the door; another made by Dr Jim Swire near the font.
