St Peter upon Cornhill

St Peter upon Cornhill, ist eine anglikanische Kirche im Londoner Innenstadtbezirk City of London. Nach Auflösung der Pfarrei dient sie heute als ein Gemeindezentrum von St Helen’s Bishopsgate. Geschichte Die dem hl. Petrus geweihte Kirche wurde am höchsten Punkt der Londoner Innenstadt über der um das Jahr 100 errichteten römischen Basilika angelegt, der Überlieferung nach im Jahre 179 als erzbischöfliche Kathedrale durch den ersten christlichen britischen König Lucius. Die erstmals in einer Schenkungsurkunde von 1039 genannte mittelalterliche Kirche wurde 1666 im Großen Brand von London zerstört und 1677 bis 1684 in verkürzter Form durch Christopher Wren wiederaufgebaut. Architektur Der von Christopher Wren errichtete Kirchenbau stellt eine dreischiffige Hallenkirche dar, deren Mittelschiff über Arkadenpfeilern mit applizierten korinthischen Pilastern tonnengewölbt ist. Die architektonisch stark gegliederte Choransicht in der Gracechurch Street besteht aus fünf durch ionische Pilaster getrennte Achsen von Rundbogenfenstern, deren mittleren drei risalitartig betont sind, überhöht durch einen klassischen Giebelaufsatz. Die städtebaulich stark verbaute Eingangsseite der Kirche wird von dem in unverputztem Backstein ausgeführten Westturm beherrscht, dessen Glockenstube von einer achtseitigen Kuppel mit schlankem Laternenaufsatz abgeschlossen wird. Die Kirche hat weitgehend ihre Originalausstattung mit Kanzel, Chorschranke und Vertäfelung behalten. Die Westempore enthält eine Orgel von Bernard Schmidt bzw. Smith, einem aus Halle gebürtigen und seit 1667 in London praktizierenden Orgelbauer. Die figürliche Verglasung der Altarwand mit Geburt Christi, Taufe im Jordan, Kreuzigung, Auferstehung, Himmelfahrt und Schlüsselübergabe an Petrus schuf C. A. Gibbs 1872.

St Peter's Church, Bishopsworth

St Peter's (grid reference ST570686) is a Neo Norman style church in Bishopsworth, Bristol, England. History The first church in Bishopsworth was a small chapel dedicated to St Peter and St Paul built under an arrangement in 1194 between Robert Arthur, lord of the manor, and George de Dunster, prebendary of Bedminster. The agreement provided for a chaplain to visit from Bedminster on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. This provision continued until dissolution in 1540. The chapel was converted into three cottages which stood until the Corporation demolished them in 1961 to make way for a swimming pool. The present church, dedicated to St Peter, was built in 1841–43. The neo-Norman design was the work of Samuel Charles Fripp. Construction started on the current church in 1841 and was not completed until 1842 or 1843. The church's planned tower was never completed on time. It became a parish church in 1853. It is little altered except for a vestry / porch which was added in 1877. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building. The churchyard contains war graves of four soldiers, from the airman and Royal Navy and a sailor of World War II.

St Petrock's Church, Exeter

St Petrock's Church is a small church in the centre of Exeter with an interior described by Nicholas Pevsner as "among the most confusing of any church... in England". The church may have been founded as early as the 6th century, but other sources date it to the 11th century. William the Conqueror directed the City Provost to pay it one silver penny out of the public taxes, along with 29 other churches. The current building dates originally from early medieval times and is dedicated to St Petrock, who was a 6th-century Roman Catholic Welsh abbot who was later granted the title of saint by the Vatican.

St Petrock's Church, Parracombe

St Petrock's Church in Parracombe, Devon, England was built in the 13th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 25 November 1969, and was vested in the Trust on 23 June 1971. The church is dedicated to St Petrock. Parts of the building, including the chancel and the lower part of the tower remain from the 13th century, but much of the current fabric dates from a reconstruction in the early 16th century. In 1879 there were worries about the stability of the building, however protests led by John Ruskin, who donated £10, led to the preservation of the church and the construction of a new one further west in the village. The interior includes 18th-century box pews, a Georgian pulpit and a screen with a wooden tympanum above it which dates from the 18th century.

Dunston, Tyne and Wear

Dunston is a western area of the town of Gateshead on the south bank of the River Tyne, in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead, North East England (into which it was absorbed in 1974). Dunston had a population of 18,326 at the 2011 Census. History It has been speculated that Dunston started its existence as a farm or estate of a man named Dunn. Historically part of County Durham, Dunston was first mentioned in 1328. Salmon fishing and farming were important industries in Dunston from at least the 14th century. Coal mining on a small-scale was also important but by the 17th century, the proximity of the river aided the development of large-scale coal mining in the village. During the Great Tyne Flood of 1771 villagers had to be rescued by boat from the roofs and upper stories of their houses. On 6 June 1993 the IRA attacked a gas holder in the nearby area of Low Team. The damage was limited, and no one was injured. Geography Dunston is split into two areas separated by the A1 dual carriageway. Much of the area south of the A1 is known as Dunston Hill. For electoral purposes, the northern section is grouped along with the Teams area to form Dunston and Teams ward, while the southern section is combined with parts of Whickham, forming Dunston Hill and Whickham East. Buildings To the west of Dunston is the site of Dunston Power Station, now demolished. The site is now home to Costco, with the MetroCentre (at this time the largest shopping and leisure complex in Europe), occupying the former site of the station's ash ponds. The Gateshead-based Go-Ahead Group has constructed a new bus depot to replace its Sunderland Road and Winlaton depots on the eastern part of the power station site. Another Dunston landmark was the Derwent Tower (commonly known as "The Rocket"), a tower block that was once the highest building in Gateshead. It was designed by the Owen Luder Partnership and completed in 1973. A well-known structure that had appeared in two films, it was demolished in 2012. It had always proved unpopular with residents, and fallen into a poor condition: Gateshead Council decided that the renovation costs would be prohibitive. The 1960s Tower Court development has now been replaced by new housing and shops. Luder also designed the similarly maligned Trinity Centre Multi-Storey Car Park (known for its appearance in the 1971 gangster thriller Get Carter, and now demolished) in Gateshead town centre. Education Schools include Kingsmeadow Community Comprehensive School. Transport Dunston is served by Dunston railway station on the Tyne Valley Line. Sports Dunston has an association football club called Dunston UTS F.C.; it plays in the Northern Premier League Division One North West. Dunston Staiths and the 1990 Garden Festival Notable people Footballers Paul Gascoigne and Ray Hudson, and the lead singer of AC/DC Brian Johnson, all grew up in Dunston. Champion rower and boat-builder Harry Clasper was born in Dunston, and Victoria Hopper, the Canadian-born British stage and film actress and singer, grew up in Dunston.

St Philip and St James Church, Leckhampton

St Philip & St James, Leckhampton is a parish in south Cheltenham, in the English county of Gloucestershire. Part of the Anglican Diocese of Gloucester, the church has been a centre for worship for more than 150 years and has a present congregational roll of over 200. History On 1 May 1840 the church of St Philip was consecrated as a daughter church of St Peter's and a priest in charge was approved. In 1869, St Philip's was granted separate parish status, and the first vicar was appointed in May that year. Ten years later, the church was found to be too small for the expanding parish and the present church of St Philip & St James was built around the existing one by partly rebuilding and extending it. This work took three years. In May 1882 the present building was consecrated by the Bishop of Gloucester, but the building had no spire - the proposed one had been found to be beyond the bearing capacity of the foundations. In 1903 the saddleback tower was built in place of the spire and dedicated. The church is in the Victorian Gothic style, with a fine carved stone reredos in the chancel and a mural of the supper at Emmaus in the side chapel. Until their removal in 2020, the pews in the nave and aisles had carved end panels, some of which had been ingeniously incorporated into a new vestry at the back of the church. There is a movable nave altar on a dais, though the high altar is still in occasional use. The font was recently moved to the centre of the back of the church, having spent some years in the north-west corner. In 1963 a columbarium was built in the crypt of St Philip & St James where ashes of the departed can rest, the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. By 1982 the parish of St Philip & St James had incorporated that of the former church of St James, Suffolk Square (at first used as a parish hall, but now a pizza restaurant). It now forms part of the South Cheltenham Team of churches whose Rector is also vicar of one of the churches in the team. In 2018, the church received permission to modernise its interior, removing the pews and converting the nave into a multi-use space while leaving the chancel and high altar in their historic configuration. Construction work began in January 2020. Church community Worship at St Philip & St James is a mixture of formal and less formal styles. There is a pipe organ and a robed adult choir, occasionally supplemented by a music group with mostly acoustic instruments. The preaching mainly reflects a moderate liberal tradition. The current vicar is Revd Ruth Edmonds. References External links Official website Details of the organ on NPOR (National Pipe Organ Register)|https://npor.org.uk/survey/E00522
St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls

St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls is a school for girls (aged 11–18) in Carshalton in the London Borough of Sutton. History Foundation The school was founded by the Daughters of the Cross in 1893 and is situated in twenty-five acres of parkland with some notable buildings. The main building on the property was once Carshalton House, a grand manor house built in the early eighteenth century by Edward Carleton. It was the home of the physician, Dr. John Radcliffe, until his death in 1714. Other owners included Sir John Fellowes, 1st Baronet, Sub-Governor of the South Sea Company; Lord Anson, admiral; and Philip Yorke, 1st Earl of Hardwicke, Lord High Chancellor. Modern In 2004, the school was awarded Technology College status. In April 2006, it was awarded a Language College status alongside the Technology College status. In 2007, a new Learning Resource Centre, including a library, was opened. In 2016, a new classroom block, the Veritas Centre opened. The new block consists of eight total classrooms, the ground floor accommodating two Food Technology classrooms and two Science laboratories, and the upper floor with dual-purpose Arts and Textiles classrooms. Staff/equipment rooms that connect between classrooms are also on each floor. Inspections In 2008, Ofsted judged the school to be Outstanding. The next full inspection was in 2022, with a judgement of Good. As of 2024, this is the most recent inspection. Controversy In April 2012, a student reported St Philomena's to PinkNews for urging its pupils to sign an anti-gay marriage petition in protest at the government's proposal to allow gay couples to marry in civil ceremonies.

St Piran's Chapel, Trethevy

Saint Piran's Chapel is a long, single storey slate construction in the hamlet of Trethevy in the parish of Tintagel, Cornwall, UK. It is a chapel-of-ease in the Anglican parish of Tintagel. History The chapel's earliest recorded mention is in May 1457 when Parson John Gregory had a licence to celebrate mass in the Chapels of St Piran and St Denys (the latter being at Trevena). The building was used for farm purposes after the Reformation. A field above the building, Chapel Meadow, was named on the Tithe map, 1841. Until the early twentieth century a massive stone altar slab was in position and the old arched oak door frame of the south door (now built up but traceable), was still to be seen. A stone coffin was found in July 1944 by Father Edward Arundell, vicar of Tintagel. The body was buried with the feet towards the west, suggesting that it may have been that of a priest. Until its theft in 1993, a granite Norman lamp was displayed in the chapel. At some point in the late 19th century, the walls were lowered. It is unclear why there should be a chapel dedicated to Saint Piran so far from the concentration of places associated with him to the west of the county but the Domesday Book mentions the ‘monks of St. Pieran’ who owned the manor of Tregrebri in this part of Cornwall (this can plausibly be identified with Tregenver, a farmstead near Trethevy). In 1941 the owner of the building, Sidney Harris, gave it back to the Church of England. The chapel was restored by Father Arundell and builder George Climo. The first mass was celebrated there on 8 February 1944. Sidney Harris died in hospital later that day. Occasional services are still held in the chapel. Other chapels bore St.Piran's name, including that according to Giraldus Cambrensis standing in the road in front of Cardiff Castle where Henry II was the recipient of a vision precluding Sunday markets. Features of the chapel A small lancet window with a trefoil head remains in the east wall and what appears to be a rough stone shelf or piscina is on the south side. On the north wall there is also a more recent stained glass window (1940s?) representing Saint Piran, standing in the Rocky Valley. Parish status The church is in the Boscastle and Tintagel group of parishes which includes: St Symphorian's Church, Forrabury St Merteriana's Church, Minster St Michael and All Angels' Church, Lesnewth St Denis' Church, Otterham St Julitta's Church, St Juliot St Materiana's Church, Tintagel The Holy Family Church, Treknow St Petroc's Church, Trevalga References Canner, A.

St Radegund, Cambridge

St Radegund is a pub in King Street, Cambridge, England. It is named after St Radegund, a Frankish saint associated with the nearby Jesus College. Overview The pub was the home to the Cantabrigensis Hash House Harriers between 1993 and 2017, a rowing club and a cricket team. It was the start/finish venue on the legendary King Street Run. All of these activities and more were encouraged (and in the case of the cricket team, started) by Terry Kavanagh (1937-2012), who was landlord between 1992 and 2009. Since 1992 the St Radegund has played an annual cricket match against The Champion of the Thames, for the King Street Trophy. In 2008, the saga of the 2003 St Radegund cricket tour to Croatia, The Ascent of Mount Hum, was published, to critical acclaim. St Radegund is the smallest pub in Cambridge. Friday night is Vera Lynn Appreciation Society night when large gin and tonics were served to the sounds of the wartime forces sweetheart. In 2007, it was pointed out that the pub sign depicted the arms of the Austrian municipality, Sankt Radegund bei Graz rather than the saint herself. A local artist was commissioned to correct the mistake and the story attracted media comment. In 2010, the new landlord, James Hoskins, reverted to a design incorporating the former (incorrect) arms. In early 2015 the premises underwent a programme of refurbishment and redecoration after which it became a pub tied to the Saffron Brewery, ceasing to serve Habit and Sackcloth, beers specially brewed for the pub by Milton Brewery. It was closed under notice of forfeiture in August 2019. In 2020 Cold Chain Bars obtained the lease and the pub briefly reopened in March 2024 before closing again in October 2024. It re-opened again in January 2026 See also St Radegund's Priory, Cambridge References
