St John's Hampton Wick

St John's Hampton Wick is a Grade II listed Church of England church on Church Grove and St John's Road in Hampton Wick, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It was built to a design by Edward Lapidge in 1829–30. History St John's was originally conceived as a chapel of ease to the parish church of St Mary at Hampton about 2+1⁄2 miles away, but following its completion, the district assigned to it was made a separate parish. The Church Commissioners funded its construction on the condition that the parish church should also be enlarged at the same time. The cost of the church and the enclosure of the site was about £4,500. The first stone was laid on 7 October 1829, and the building was completed by 8 November 1830. The building's architect Edward Lapidge also donated the land for it, and paid for the enclosure of the site on one side. Lapidge had been born in Hampton Wick, and designed the present Kingston Bridge nearby. It was built in a plain Gothic Revival style, faced with Suffolk brick and Bath stone. As originally constructed, the church was 65 feet (20 m) long and 43 feet (13 m) wide, with galleries on three sides, and a recessed window at the east end. It was intended to seat 800 people, half the accommodation being free (i.e. not subject to pew rent). A chancel was added in 1887 and the church was restored in 1880 and 1911. In 2010, after five years of closure, the church re-opened its doors under the Church of England's church planting scheme. Services were resumed in December 2010. In 2024 St John's Hampton Wick partnered with St Mark's, Teddington(the church they used to share a parish with). They are now moving towards a shared vision, uniquely expressed in each location. Rev Jerry Field is now the Vicar of both St Mark’s and St John’s and Rev Tom Simpson is Minister-in-Charge at St Mark’s whilst remaining part of the team at St John’s. Services Services are held twice on Sunday mornings (9:00am & 10:30am) plus on Sunday evenings (6:00pm). The church describes its services as "informal, modern and family friendly’' within the Church of England. References External links Official website
Queens Road Baptist Church, Coventry

Queens Road Baptist Church is a Baptist church in the city center of Coventry, England, United Kingdom. The chapel is a grade II listed building. History The church has a continuous history traced back to 1643. In that year, a number of issues arose in the two parish churches of Coventry surrounding church style, personal faith, and baptism, seeking for religious purity. From this, a distinct Baptist church arose, worshipping in private property. In 1723, the first chapel was erected for the church. During John Butterworth ministry, the church developed and grew, until it moved into a larger premises in Cow Lane. In 1884, the minister William Henderson moved the church to the current chapel in Queens Road. John Worwood, a deacon at the time, owned a carpentry and a building business and was the builder of the church as appointed by the Building Committee in February 1882 to build it on commission. In 1931, Howard Ingli James, a new prominent minister, was ordained at the church. He greatly influenced the people of Coventry with his political campaign for social justice and welfare. He renounced war and was the reason behind many members of Queens Road became conscientious objectors during the War. In the 1970s, the church had its most dynamic minister in, JP. Richard Hamper. With his wife Madeline, they sought to encourage youth inclusion in the church life, whilst enabling a strong understanding of the Christian message. His role as a JP was driven by a sense of social justice without prejudice. The church changed again after 1980 whilst David Spriggs was minister. He began various Evangelical programmes with the co-operation of other various churches within the area. In 2007, Grenville Overton was minister. During his ministry, he oversaw the extension and refurbishment of the church. References External links Queens Road Baptist Church website

Аббатство Нотли

Абба́тство Нотли (англ. Notley Abbey) — августинское аббатство, находящееся в Тейм, Оксфордшир, Англия. История Аббатство было основано в 1162 году монахами из ордена августинцев в деревне недалеко от Нотли. Парк, в котором стояло аббатство, был подарен садовнику графом Букингемским. На момент закрытия монастыря годовой доход рассчитывается как более £437: огромные деньги для того времени. В Аббатстве Нотли жили известные актёры сэр Лоренс Оливье и леди Вивьен Ли, которая снималась в фильме «Унесённые ветром[1]. Из воспоминаний Вивьен Ли: «К весне 1946 года Вивьен выздоровела и стала приводить старинный замок „Нотли” в порядок. Когда они купили его, в нём не было даже водопровода. Вивьен создала в доме домашний уют и стала принимать гостей: театральную богему Лондона и близких друзей. Хозяйка блистала остроумием и добродушием, но могла высказаться и довольно резко. Она дружила с Холманом и часто виделась с дочерью. Гостил в доме и сын Оливье, который полюбил тётю Вивьен. Сам Оливье терпеть не мог ни вечеринок, ни шумных гостей, ни дорогие обеды. Он раздражался и срывал раздражение на ней. Но жизнелюбивой и общительной Вивьен это было необходимо, как воздух. Любовь потихоньку уходила, Оливье потихоньку отстранялся от неё, Вивьен потихоньку забывали.» В настоящее время Аббатство хорошо сохранилось до настоящего времени. В нём сейчас никто не проживает, хотя оно регулярно сдаётся в аренду для проведения торжеств. Настоятели аббатства В 1847 году Джордж Липскомб в своей «Истории древностей округа Букингемского» перечислил следующих настоятелей Аббатства Нотли: Осберт, основатель (англ. Osbert) 1189 Роберт (англ. Robert) 1203 и 1221 Эдвард (англ. Edward) 1234 Джон (англ. John) 1236 Генри де Сейнт-Фэйт (англ. Henry de Saint Faith) 1252 Джон Грендон, или де-Крендон (англ.

Pesthouse Common, Richmond

Pesthouse Common, Richmond is an area of public open space on Queen's Road, Richmond in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is bordered by mature lime and horse chestnut trees and is managed by Richmond upon Thames London Borough Council to promote nature conservation. History The common is so called as it had a pest house, a structure used for quarantining people with communicable diseases. The common, which used to belong to the Crown, originally extended from the bottom of Queen's Road to the gates of Richmond Park. It had, near the site of the present Lass o' Richmond Hill pub on Queen's Road, a "pound overt" (open pound). Goods or cattle belonging to those had failed to pay fines imposed by the local courts were put there. A 1785 act of parliament granted the common to Richmond vestry, and it was then enclosed for a workhouse and burial ground, except for a small portion next to the lower part of Queen's Road. The pest house itself was pulled down in 1787. See also Richmond Cemetery Notes References External links Official website Further reading Archer, John; Curson, David (1993).
