Chiesa di San Pietro (Chester)

La chiesa di San Pietro è un edificio religioso situato in Eastgate Street, nel pieno centro della città di Chester, Cheshire, Inghilterra, immediatamente a nord della Chester Cross. È stata classificata al primo posto dalla National Heritage List of England. È una parrocchia anglicana attiva nella diocesi di Chester. Storia e descrizione Ethelfleda, figlia del re Alfredo il Grande, fondò la chiesa nel 907 d.C. che è rimasta da allora un luogo di culto del cristianesimo. La chiesa di San Pietro in Chester è situata all'incrocio delle quattro vie principali della città (Eastgate, Northgate, Watergate e Bridge Saint). In questo luogo sorgeva il quartiere generale delle Legioni Romane. L'edificio è caratterizzato da una forma quasi quadrata ed è diviso da tre archi in pietra risalenti al XV secolo che formano quattro navate laterali. Una delle colonne presenta una nicchia che probabilmente, prima della Riforma, conteneva una statua della Vergine con Bambino. Intorno a questa nicchia si può osservare un affresco realizzato prima della Riforma, danneggiato nel 1646 durante la guerra civile, tuttavia è ancora possibile ammirare le scene della natività e della crocifissione. Vi sono sei campane nella torre e nel 1828 una di queste fu utilizzata per chiamare i pompieri. Le vetrate del muro est raffigurano nel centro la crocifissione ed il rinnegamento di san Pietro; a sinistra vi è l'Ultima cena e a destra l'Ascensione. Queste vetrate sono state create ed installate nel 1860 per commemorare la vita del principe Alberto, il marito della regina Vittoria d'Inghilterra. Le gallerie della chiesa sono in stile vittoriano (1849), ma altre gallerie erano già presenti nel 1640. Originariamente vi era una terza galleria, per i musicisti, situata nella parete ovest dell'edificio. L'organo è stato costruito nel 1888 e ristrutturato nel 1961. Alla sinistra dell'altare è possibile osservare una fonte battesimale posta su un piedistallo. Si pensa che sia stata utilizzata per celebrare battesimi per più di 200 anni dal 1660. Dietro l'altare vi è una dossale incisa nel 1905. Questo centro ecumenico è aperto tutti i giorni grazie al lavoro e alla dedizione di tutti i membri delle Chiese di Chester.

It was completed in 1841, to a design by Decimus Burton. Burton had been employed by Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood in 1836 to lay out the new planned town of Fleetwood. It is protected as a Grade II listed building. History Fleetwood is a 19th-century planned town, the creation of local landowner and Preston MP, Sir Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood.

Hesketh-Fleetwood's aunt, Anna-Maria Hesketh of Tulketh Hall, financed the construction of the tower and spire; the spire was taken down in 1904 for safety reasons. In 1883, the east end of the church was altered by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, who added a chancel, a transeptal chapel and an organ chamber. These alterations cost £3,000 (equivalent to £320,000 in 2025). Architecture St Peter's stands on a raised piece of land in the town centre. Surrounded by an iron palisade, it is constructed of grey rock-faced stone with red sandstone ashlar dressings. The side walls and the tower have lancet windows. The nave is aisleless. Of the church's design, architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner commented "It could be by anybody." The church has space for 400 people; originally 200 more could be accommodated in the galleries to the north and south; these were removed in 1960. Assessment and administration St Peter's was designated a Grade II listed building on 31 March 1978.

St Peter's Church, Hargrave

St Peter's Church is in the village of Hargrave, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Malpas. History The church was built in 1627 as a combined chapel and school by Thomas Moulson, a former native of the village. He had moved to London and become a master grocer. He was Member of Parliament for the City of London in 1628 and Lord Mayor of London in 1634. Shortly before his death in 1638, he set up a trust to maintain the church and the school. In 1812 its use as a school ended. As the state of the church had become neglected, a considerable restoration was carried out between 1878 and 1890, the first Duke of Westminster contributing £200 of the total cost of £600. This restoration, with the addition of a vestry, is attributed to John Douglas. In 1878 it became the parish church for a new ecclesiastical parish called 'St Peter, Hargrave', covering the two townships of Foulk Stapleford from the parish of Tarvin (which included Hargrave) and Huxley from the parish of Waverton. Architecture Exterior The church is built of ashlar red sandstone with a red tile roof. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave and chancel in one range, a vestry and a south porch. At the west end is a bell turret with one bell and a clock on the south and west faces. The windows are square-headed and transomed. The porch has Jacobean stone ornaments and a 1774 panel containing the coat of arms of the Moulson family and an inscription relating to the founding by Thomas. Interior The hammerbeam roof of 1774 survived the restoration, but all the old fittings and furniture were disposed of, except for the octagonal font. The parish registers begin in 1631. The reredos was designed by John Douglas. External features In the churchyard, south-east of the church, are two war graves of soldiers of World War I.
