Corsham Court

Corsham Court è una storica residenza elisabettiana della cittadina inglese di Corsham, nella contea di Wiltshire (Inghilterra sud-occidentale), costruita a partire dal 1582 e successivamente modificato tra la fine del XVIII secolo e la prima metà del XIX secolo sotto la supervisione di architetti quali Capability Brown, John Nash, Thomas Bellamy, Robert Adam e Chippendale . È proprietà della famiglia Methuen dal 1745. Descrizione L'edificio mescola elementi dell'architettura medievale con elementi dell'architettura georgiana. Al suo interno si trova una delle più importanti collezioni d'arte della Gran Bretagna, che comprende dipinti di Reynolds, Rubens, Van Dyck e Salvatore Rosa, Lippi e Romney. Storia La storia dell'edificio ebbe inizio nel XVI secolo, quando la regina Elisabetta I d'Inghilterra donò la proprietà (si trattava di una tenuta dove risiedettero generazioni di reali sin dai tempi dei re del Wessex) a Thomas Smythe. Quest'ultimo, fece costruire un palazzo che fu completato nel 1582. Nel 1745 l'edificio fu acquisito da Paul Methuen. Quest'ultimo trasformò il preesistente maniero in un palazzo con gallerie d'arte: il progetto fu affidato a Capability Brown, che si occupò di ristrutturare anche i giardini. Dopo la morte di Capability Brown, la famiglia Methuen affidò un nuovo progetto di ristrutturazione a John Nash. Nash creò, tra l'altro, la Sala Ottagonale, un'imitazione della cappella di Enrico VII dell'abbazia di Westminster. I lavori terminarono nel 1805. Il preventivo per questi lavori era di 5.647 sterline, ma al termine dei lavori il costo della ristrutturazione ammontò a 25,500 sterline. Lo stesso Nash, a causa dei numerosi impegni, fu poco presente come supervisore dei lavori e il risultato fu che il materiale usato fu inadeguato per sopportare le modifiche e gli stessi tetti erano pericolanti. Per questo motivo, nei 40 successivi, ciò che fu aggiunto da Nash fu sostituito, eccezion fatta per le finestre e le torrette dell'ala orientale, il caseificio in stile gotico e alcune finestre dell'ala adibita alla servitù. In seguito fu aggiunta alla galleria d'arte la ricca collezione privata del reverendo John Sanford, una cui parente aveva sposato nel 1844 un erede dei Methuen. Corsham Court nella cultura di massa Corsham Court fu una delle location del film del 1975, diretto da Stanley Kubrick, Barry Lyndon Corsham Court fu una delle location del film del 1993, diretto da James Ivory Quel che resta del giorno (The Remains of the Day) Si ipotizza che Corsham Court sia stato il modello del castello di Blandings, l'imponente residenza dove sono ambientati i romanzi e i racconti della saga di "Blandings" di P. G. Wodehouse: da giovane l'autore trascorreva a Corsham le vacanze scolastiche con uno zio ecclesiastico.

St Protus and St Hyacinth's Church, Blisland

St Protus and St Hyacinth's Church, Blisland is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Blisland, Cornwall, England, UK. History and description The church is of Norman origins, but was extended in the 15th century. The Norman nave and north transept of the church remain, with the six-arch south arcade, the aisle, the porch, the chapel coming off of the north transept, the wagon roof, a second font, and the tower from the north transept being added during the 15th century extension. It was restored in 1894 at a cost of £1,300 by F. C. Eden, architect. The chancel was restored by the rector. The window in the end of the south chancel aisle was filled with stained glass designed by Bucknall and Comper of London, and donated by Mrs Lucy Edward-Collins, in memory of her husband, Revd. C. M. Edward-Collins, and her son, E. C. Edward-Collins of Trewardale. It reopened on 13 December 1894. The present form of the dedication to Protus and Hyacinth relies on identifying the St Pratt of tradition with St Protus Martyr. (Locally the saint would be called St Pratt rather than Protus.) Dr Sidney J. Madge, father of the incumbent Rector Revd Sidney Alfred Wilmer Madge, published in 1950 a good account of the church and its two patron saints entitled Blisland Church and its Patron Saints; a 2nd edition was issued in 1965 with a preface by John Betjeman. Charles Henderson, writing in the Cornish Church Guide (1925) suggests that Lavethan (formerly Lanedewen) may record the original dedication of the church since the second element may be St Adwen (patron of Advent, Cornwall). The extensive restoration includes work by Ninian Comper and F. C. Eden. According to Betjeman: "As a restoration and even improvement on a medieval church, this holy and peaceful place ... can hardly be bettered in the kingdom." In the church is the early 15th century brass of John Balsam, formerly rector here. Parish status The church is in a joint parish with St Catherine's Church, Temple St Breward's Church, St Breward St Helena's Church, Helland References

Church of St John the Baptist, Burford

The Anglican Church of St John the Baptist in Burford, Oxfordshire, England, is a Grade I listed building. The Church of England parish church is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, and is described by David Verey as "a complicated building which has developed in a curious way from the Norman". It is known for its merchants' guild chapel and memorial to Henry VIII's barber-surgeon, Edmund Harman, which features South American Indians. History The current building was started in the 12th century. The current configuration of the building was completed by the 15th century as a Wool church. In 1649, during the English Civil War, a group of Levellers, part of the New Model Army Banbury mutineers, were imprisoned in the church and executed by gunshot in the churchyard following the new Treason Act introduced by parliament. It underwent extensive Victorian restoration by George Edmund Street in 1870s and was one of the instances which prompted William Morris to establish the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. The restoration included the addition of a tiled floor. The parish and benefice of Burford is within the Diocese of Oxford. Architecture The stone building has a cruciform plan. It consists of a five-bay nave with chapels to the north and south sides. The tower and spire are above the centre of the building. The interior includes a pulpit which was restored in 1870 and a variety of tomb chests and memorials. Much of the stained glass is by Charles Eamer Kempe. Among the memorials, two are of particular note. The first is to Christoper Kempster, who died in 1715, and was a local quarry-man much favoured by Sir Christopher Wren, who employed him at St Paul's Cathedral. The second of c.1569 is to Edmund Harman and is decorated with relief carvings of South American Indians. In the Gild Chapel are tombs of the Sylvester family.

St. Corentin (Cury)

St. Corentin (Englisch St Corentine’s Church; auch: St. Corantyn) ist eine anglikanische Pfarrkirche der Church of England in Cury, einer kleinen Ortschaft südlich von Helston in Cornwall. Die Kirche ist als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade I eingestuft. Geschichte Die dem heiligen Corentin von Quimper geweihte Pfarrkirche entstand ursprünglich im 12. Jahrhundert vermutlich auf kreuzförmigem Grundriss. Schriftliche Bauüberlieferungen existieren nicht, eine Konsekration ist für das Jahr 1261 belegt. Der Turm, das nördliche Seitenschiff und die Vorhalle im Winkel zwischen Langhaus und Querhaus wurden im 15. Jahrhundert hinzugefügt. Der Chor überragt das Seitenschiff nur um wenige Meter nach Osten, während sich der südliche Querhausarm in der Mitte des Bauwerkes befindet. 1874 wurde die Kirche einer grundlegenden Renovierung unterzogen, die dem Gotteshaus im Inneren einen neugotischen Raumeindruck verliehen haben. Bei den Arbeiten wurde unter anderem das Dach erneuert und die Kirche mit neuen Fensterverglasungen ausgestattet. Die Arbeiten an der Vorhalle haben das bedeutende romanische Portal mit Tympanon teilweise verdeckt. Der romanische Taufstein stammt aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. Er befindet sich auf einer runden Mittelsäule aus dem 20. Jahrhundert mit vier umgebenden gewundenen Ecksäulen. Zur weiteren Ausstattung gehören Kirchenbänke aus Holz von Pech-Kiefern aus dem 19. Jahrhundert sowie eine achteckige Kanzel. Ein nicht genau datierter mittelalterlicher Kreuzstein auf dem Kirchhof südlich der Kirche ist als Einzelobjekt als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie II* eingestuft. Bei dem Kreuzstein handelt es sich um einen Granitmonolithen mit annähernd rechteckigem Grundriss und einem sehr hohen, leicht konischen Schaft mit einem bauchigen, runden Kopf. Auf der Südseite des Steines befindet sich ein eingraviertes Kreuz über dem eingravierten Schaft. Mit einer Höhe von 9 Fuß gilt dieser Stein nach Einschätzung der englischen Denkmälerverwaltung als eines der höchsten Kreuze in Cornwall. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
St Corentine's Church, Cury

St Corentine's Church, Cury is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Cury, Cornwall, England, UK. History The parish church is dedicated to St Corentin. The building is cruciform and of the Norman period, but a north aisle was added in the 15th century. It was probably originally a manorial church of Winnianton but became a chapelry of Breage in the 13th century. The church was restored in 1874 but the restoration was carried out locally without the supervision of an architect. The work was superintended by the Reverend A H Cummings, who employed the village mason, carpenter, blacksmith and glazier. The north wall was taken down and rebuilt. The roof of the north aisle was repaired and boarded inside, and enriched with carved oak bosses. The roofs of the nave, chancel and Bochym aisle were re-constructed. The church was reseated and the windows were re-glazed with Cathedral glass. The expense of the restoration of the Bochym aisle was borne by Richard and Sydney Davey of Bochym, and the entire cost of the works was £900. It reopened on 23 July 1874. Sandys Wason From 1905 to 1920 the parishes of Cury and Gunwalloe were served by the Rev Sandys Wason as priest-in-charge. Father Wason was an Anglo-Catholic and unpopular with some parishioners; he wrote poems such as "Town" ("I met a clergymanly man, Prostrated in the Strand, He sucked a brace of oranges, One orange in each hand" is the first verse). He is notable for the controversy aroused by his ministry due to his practice of liturgical borrowing from the Roman Catholic Church and other aspects of it. The church members protested against the Anglo Catholic services which he conducted and wrote a resolution of protest to the Bishop of Truro to restore the services in the Book of Common Prayer. Though disciplined by successive bishops of Truro (Charles Stubbs and Winfrid Burrows) he persisted in his ways. He was turned out of his church by the Bishop, but he refused to vacate the vicarage and held services there. When at last the Bishop deprived him of ecclesiastical preferment in the diocese and of the living, the dispute reached an acute phase when the vicar refused to allow his Bishop to conduct services in his church. Eventually a group of his opponents ejected him from the parish by force and he took refuge at St Hilary with Bernard Walke. Subsequently, he carried on the business of Cope and Fenwick, publishers, in London. Parish status The church is in a joint parish with St Winwaloe's Church, Gunwalloe References Further reading Tricker, Roy (1994) "Mr. Wason, I think": with poems by the Rev. Sandys Wason.

St Winwaloe’s Church

St Winwaloe’s Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der anglikanischen Church of England, das sich freistehend an der Bucht Church Cove in Ufernähe nordwestlich des Lizard Point in Cornwall befindet. Die Kirche ist seit 1957 als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade I eingestuft. Geschichte Die dem bretonischen Heiligen Guénolé in der lokalen Abschleifung als Winwaloe gewidmete spätgotische dreischiffige Hallenkirche erhielt ihre heutige Gestalt im 15. Jahrhundert und soll auf eine Gründung des 5. Jahrhunderts zurückgehen und somit die älteste Kirche Cornwalls sein. Sie wird im Domesday Book aus dem 11. Jahrhundert genannt. Die drei Kirchenschiffe befinden sich unter jeweils einem eigenen Dach mit Giebeln, der Chorraum ragt auf der Breite des Mittelschiffs nach Osten heraus. Die westliche Giebelseite des Kirchenschiffs stammt von einem älteren Vorgängerbau und entstand möglicherweise vor 1400. Der Glockenturm ist freistehend und wurde wahrscheinlich im 13. Jahrhundert errichtet. Die Kirche ist laut einer Inschrift über dem Portal auch als „Church of the Storms“ (Kirche der Stürme) bekannt und musste wegen ihrer gefährdeten Lage an der Westküste über die Jahrhunderte wiederholt durch große Mengen an Granitblöcken zur Bucht hin vor Stürmen und dem Meer geschützt werden. Im Jahr 1869 erfolgte unter der Leitung von Edmund Sedding eine umfassende Restaurierung, in deren Rahmen auch eine Reihe der ursprünglichen Fenstermaßwerke erneuert wurde. In der Kirche haben sich zwei Teile des Lettners aus dem frühen 16. Jahrhundert erhalten, die die Apostel darstellen. Das südliche Seitenschiff sowie die Vorhalle werden von einem hölzernen Tonnengewölbe aus dem 15. Jahrhundert, das teilweise mit Schnitzereien verziert ist, überwölbt. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
