St Pancras Church, Exeter

St Pancras Church is a small church situated in the middle of the Guildhall Shopping Centre in Exeter. The majority of the church dates from the thirteenth century, although the font is eleventh century. The church probably occupies the oldest Christian site in Exeter, and is usually open on weekdays. The church is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building. History It is not known when St Pancras' Church was constructed though the dedication to Saint Pancras indicated that it may have been of Anglo-Saxon origin. Records cited a Saxon-style archway in the construction which was later removed during renovations. The church was first mentioned in 1191 but most of the building work dates to the 13th century. The church underwent several periods of use and disuse between 1658 and 1831. In 1831, the chancel arch was destroyed and replaced with a plain one which stood until John Loughborough Pearson renovated the church to rebuild the original arch. Pews were also added to the church. In 1906, when the nearby All Hallows Church was demolished for road widening, St Pancras received its Jacobean pulpit and medieval memorial tablets. In the early 20th century, the Bishop of Exeter considered closing St Pancras and uniting it with another parish but due to the church hosting worshipers from churches that had been bombed during the Second World War, the church remained open with the Victorian pews later removed. A house that had been built up against the church and blocked out a window in the 1930s was removed during 1969 due to a shopping centre being built around the sunken church. The stained glass in the east window is by Percy Bacon & Brothers. Installed in 1895, it depicts Pancras of Rome, The Crucifixion of Jesus, and St. Boniface. In 1953, English Heritage granted the church grade II* listed building status. The reason for the grant was because St Pancras was a good example of a small medieval urban church that managed to maintain a lot of its original medieval fittings and fixtures.

St Pancras Cruising Club

St Pancras Cruising Club is a members’ club based in London Borough of Camden that exists to promote pleasure cruising on UK inland waterways and to provide facilities for its members and others. Most Club members own boats but the Club also welcomes anyone who is interested in boating and inland waterways. The Club provides non-residential moorings for around 60 boats. Location and facilities The Club based at the basin of the same name, next to Camley Street Natural Park, between St Pancras Station and St Pancras Old Church, one of the oldest church buildings in London, hence the name of the district. The club, which was founded in 1958, is situated in a canal basin that was used to handle coal. SPCC has a clubhouse with a members bar. It constructed the first new dry dock in London for many decades, the only one in Central London. In 2001 the club became the guardian of the St Pancras Waterpoint, a listed water tower originally used to refill the steam locomotives with water. The Victorian Gothic brick structure, designed by the office of Sir George Gilbert Scott around 1870, was moved a few hundred metres as it was in the way of the St Pancras International station enlargement. The club organises a number of open days during the summer when visitors can visit the water tower. Activities SPCC has gained a reputation as one of the country's foremost cruising clubs, based not least on the year-round safe navigations that it conducts and marshals on the Tideway, the tidal Thames. Notable cruises include the 2007 one to the Houses of Parliament protesting DEFRA cuts to the inland waterways budget and the 'Fund Britain's Waterways' campaign cruise to Westminster in May 2024 protesting at proposed cut to waterways funding.. It was also a pivotal organiser in the narrowboat contribution to the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant in 2012. SPCC has always played an active part in waterways events. It is a founder member of the Association of Waterways Cruising Clubs, The club helps organise events such as the Angel Canal Festival and the Inland Waterways Association Canalway Cavalcade at which the boat handling competition novice winner's trophy is named after a former commodore of SPCC, Dr Roger Squires.

St Pancras New Church

St Pancras New Church ist ein anglikanisches Kirchengebäude im Londoner Innenstadtbezirk Bloomsbury. Geschichte Die Kirche wurde 1819 bis 1822 von Henry William Inwood zusammen mit seinem Vater, dem Architekten William Inwood, errichtet. Die Baukosten von £76.679 (einschließlich Grundstückskauf und Ausstattung) machten sie nach St Paul’s Cathedral zum teuersten Kirchenbau Londons. Den Grundstein der Kirche legte am 1. Juli 1819 Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany, die Weihe fand am 7. Mai 1822 statt. Der Kirchenbau ist eines der prominentesten Beispiele des Greek Revival in der englischen Architektur. In den Jahren 1818 und 1819 hatte Henry William Inwood zum Studium antiker Architektur Italien und Griechenland bereist und dabei das Erechtheion in Athen aufgemessen, das die wichtigste Inspirationsquelle für seinen Entwurf werden sollte: So wiederholt die Kirchenfassade im Detail die Ostfassade dieses Tempels und die beiden Grabkapellen zu Seiten der Kirche die Korenhalle mit ihren Karyatiden, von denen eine 1811 von Lord Elgin nach Großbritannien gebracht worden war. Für den Kirchturm dienten der Turm der Winde und das Lysikratesmonument in Athen als Vorbild. Die Apsis im Innern der Kirche in Form eines halbierten griechischen Monopteros aus ionischen Säulen gebildet. Die Orgel hatte bereits ein nach deutschem Vorbild mit Registern in allen üblichen Fußtonlagen voll ausgestattetes Pedal, welche Henry Thomas Smart, der von 1865 bis 1879 hier Organist war, zu vielen Kompositionen mit eigenständigem Pedalpart inspirierte.

St Patrick's Chapel, Heysham

St Patrick's Chapel is a ruined building that stands on a headland above St Peter's Church, in Heysham, Lancashire, England (grid reference SD409616). It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Description The ruin dates from the 8th or 9th century, and is built of sandstone rubble. The plan is a plain slightly tapering rectangle measuring 27 feet 6 inches (8 m) by 9 feet (3 m). Consolidation work was carried out in 1903 using stone tiles. Most of the south wall, the east gable wall, and the east part of the north wall are still present. The south wall contains a doorway with long-and-short jambs and an arch with concentric grooves. Near the chapel is a group of six rock-cut tombs from the 11th century and a separate group of two rock-cut tombs. Each group is listed at Grade I, and each tomb has an associated socket probably intended for a timber cross. They featured on the cover of Black Sabbath's 2000 album The Best of Black Sabbath. Archaeology In 1977 an excavation took place in and to the south of the chapel, which dated the site to the late 6th or early 7th century. This links the site to early Celtic Christianity when local people spoke native British. The buried skeletons uncovered were dated as no earlier than the 10th century. A further excavation took place in April 1993 on land below the stone coffins. No human bones were found but more than 1,200 artefacts were recovered, which showed that the site had been occupied about 12,000 years ago.

St Patrick's Church, Preston Patrick

St Patrick's Church is the parish church of Preston Patrick, Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican church, one of eight parish churches served by the Kirkby Lonsdale Team Ministry. It is in the archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History Until the 19th century, this locality was within the large rural parish of Heversham. However, there was a chapel on the site. In 1850 the Lancaster architects Edmund Sharpe and E. G. Paley reported that the chapel appeared, from its architectural design, to have been built during the reign of Henry VII (1457–1509). The architects designed a new church. Building started in 1852 and the new church opened on 28 November of that year. It cost about £1,400 (equivalent to £170,000 in 2025), and had seating for 1,386 people. In 1892 the chancel was rebuilt by Paley, Austin and Paley, the successors of Sharpe and Paley. Architecture Exterior The church is constructed in limestone with limestone dressings in the nave, and sandstone dressings in the chancel. The roof is of slate, with a stone ridge and copings. Fabric from the earlier church is incorporated in this church consisting of a window in the tower and niches in the chancel. The architectural style is Perpendicular. The plan of the church consists of a west tower, a four-bay nave with a north aisle and a south porch, a single-bay chancel, and a vestry. The tower is square, and in four stages that are separated by a string courses. The top stage contains bell openings in each face, and the tower is surmounted by battlemented parapets. At its southwest corner is a bell turret that rises to a higher level than the tower. In the body of the church, the west and east windows have four lights. Interior Inside the church, the nave is whitewashed, and it contains a north arcade carried on monolithic limestone columns. The chancel is lined with sandstone ashlar. Flanking the east window are two canopied niches. The stained glass in the east window is by Shrigley and Hunt and depicts the Te Deum. There are two war memorials, one by Heaton, Butler and Bayne, the other by Powells. The two-manual pipe organ was made by Wilkinson of Kendal in 1891, and has been modified several times.

St Patrick's Church, Soho Square

St Patrick's Church is a large Roman Catholic parish church in Soho Square, London. St Pat's (as it is informally known) was consecrated as a chapel in a building behind Carlisle House on 29 September 1792, one of the first Catholic buildings allowed in Great Britain after the Reformation. The present church building was built between 1891 and 1893, to designs by John Kelly of Leeds, and replaced the earlier and smaller chapel built by Father Arthur O'Leary in the 1790s. The church has an unusual longish shape due to plot constrictions given at that time. The building is constructed out of bricks with a bell-tower. It is Grade II* listed. The main entrance has a Roman-style porch with Corinthian columns. Above the entrance is an inscription: VT CHRISTIANI ITA ET ROMANI SITIS ("Ut christiani ita et romani sitis", i.e. “Be ye Christians as those of the Roman Church”). It is a quotation taken from the writings of St. Patrick. The building was closed for renovation and refurbishment between 28 February 2010 and 31 May 2011. During the renovations, services were held in the nearby Chapel of St Barnabas, at The House of St Barnabas. Gallery References Further reading Marcantonio, Alfredo.

Kościół św. Patryka w Londynie

Kościół Świętego Patryka – rzymskokatolicki kościół parafialny na Soho Square w Londynie, pod którym znajdują się rozległe katakumby (rozpościerające się głęboko pod placem i dalej). Kościół został prawdopodobnie poświęcony jako kaplica w budynku za Carlisle House 29 września 1792. Był jedną z pierwszych katolickich świątyń, na budowę których zezwolono w Wielkiej Brytanii po reformacji (Catholic Relief Act) i pierwszą w Anglii dedykowaną św. Patrykowi. Historia i architektura Obecny obiekt został zbudowany w latach 1891–1893 według projektu Johna Kelly'ego z Leeds i zastąpił wcześniejszą, mniejszą kaplicę zbudowaną przez ojca Arthura O'Leary'ego w latach 90. XIX wieku. Świątynia została poświęcona przez biskupa Roberta Brindle'a 20 września 1900. W nowym kościele zachowało się kilka zabytków ze starej świątyni, np. pomnik ojca O’Leary’ego, XVIII-wieczna Pietà i część drewnianej konstrukcji ołtarzy bocznych. Na jednej ze ścian wisi inskrypcja upamiętniająca konsekrację kościoła w 1792. Kościół ma nietypowy, wydłużony kształt ze względu na określone wówczas ograniczenia. Wzniesiony jest z cegieł i ma dzwonnicę. Pokryty jest łupkowym dachem. Wpisano go na listę zabytków w klasie II*. Główne wejście ma ganek w stylu rzymskim z kolumnami korynckimi. Nad wejściem znajduje się napis: Ut christiani ita et romani sitis. Jest to cytat zaczerpnięty z pism św. Patryka. Budynek został zamknięty z powodu remontu i odnowy między 28 lutego 2010 a 31 maja 2011. Podczas renowacji nabożeństwa odbywały się w pobliskiej kaplicy św. Barnaby w Domu św. Barnaby. Kościół jest macierzystą świątynią społeczności irlandzkiej w Londynie (ojciec O'Leary pełnił posługę wśród przeważająco irlandzkiej ludności slumsów na West Endzie). Tablice pamiątkowe Wewnątrz kościoła umieszczone są tablice pamiątkowe, w tym fundacyjna, a także ku czci Juana Pablo Vizcardo y Guzmána (1748–1798), peruwiańskiego pisarza zamieszkałego przy nieodległej Wardour Street, jak również upamiętniająca lokalnych proboszczów od 1792 do 2001 i kaznodzieję, Arthura O'Leary'ego (1729–1802).

St Paul's Cathedral School

St Paul's Cathedral School is an independent preparatory school associated with St Paul's Cathedral in London, in New Change in the City of London. The school has around 220 pupils, most of whom are day pupils, both boys and girls, including up to 40 boy choristers who are all boarders and who sing the daily services in St Paul's Cathedral. The school became co-educational in 2002. History Originally the school was set up to provide education solely for the choristers and dates from about 1123, when eight needy children were given a home and education in return for singing in the cathedral. The Choir School and a grammar school co-existed under the aegis of the cathedral for many years, until the Grammar School was moved and re-established in 1511 by the humanist Dean John Colet to become St Paul's School. The Cathedral School and St Paul's School (now a public school) are now distinct and separate institutions. The original Choir School, which stood in St Paul's Churchyard, was destroyed with the cathedral in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The school has had several incarnations being re-built in 1670, in 1822 (in Cheapside) and 1875 (in Carter Lane). The building of 1875 is now a Youth Hostel. The current buildings date from the 1960s and were designed by the Architects' Co-Partnership. Activities In addition to the daily Evensong, the choristers of St. Paul's Cathedral, have taken part in a number of important recordings and tours and have performed at a number of important state occasions, including the funerals of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher, as well as the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales. Child-abuse controversy In December 2007 Stephen Douglas-Hogg, a former Classics and house master of the school, was arrested and charged with the abuse of a number of choristers during the 1980s. Following his attempted suicide during the initial stages of proceedings in October 2008, the 50-year-old Douglas-Hogg changed his plea halfway through the trial and admitted to 13 counts of indecent assault on five boys aged under 14. On 11 May 2009 Douglas-Hogg was sentenced to four and a half years' imprisonment at Southwark Crown Court. Former pupils Notable former pupils include: Jonathan Battishill, composer Simon Russell Beale, actor William Boyce, composer Elwin Cockett, archdeacon Alastair Cook, cricketer Charles Dixon, politician William Cummings, musician and organist Jimmy Edwards, script writer and actor Richard Gibson, actor Maurice Greene, composer Charles Groves, orchestral conductor Robin Holloway, composer Neil Howlett, opera singer James Lancelot, organist Walter de la Mare, poet and novelist Stephen Oliver, composer Julian Ovenden, actor and singer Peter Philips, composer and organist Percy Sillitoe, policeman, Director General of MI5 1946–1953 John Stainer, composer and organist Anthony Way, chorister and classical singer Marius de Vries, composer and music producer Henry Jackman, composer See also List of the oldest schools in the United Kingdom References External links Official website
