Iglesia de San Juan Evangelista (Upper Norwood)

La Iglesia de San Juan Evangelista (en inglés: St John the Evangelist) es una iglesia parroquial de la Iglesia de Inglaterra, situada en Upper Norwood, un suburbio del sur de Londres. Es una iglesia neogótica de ladrillo rojo, clasificada como monumento de grado II, que fue construida entre 1878 y 1887 por el arquitecto inglés John Loughborough Pearson (1817-1897). La iglesia está dedicada al santo cristiano, Juan el Evangelista. Arquitectura El diseño de Pearson es un exterior de ladrillo rojo liso con dos torretas en el extremo oeste que Nikolaus Pevsner describe como "«típicamente pearsoniano». La iglesia de 49 metros de largo es cruciforme, y el crucero sur fue originalmente diseñado para levantar una torre de 208 pies (63 m) de altura que nunca se completó. Sobre la nave hay un alto claristorio. El interior del edificio es de ladrillo con arcadas y bóveda de crucería. Lo más llamativo es la gran pantalla de piedra de la cruz a través del presbiterio, que presenta cinco arcos góticos rematados por cuatro estatuas, y los grandes retablos de piedra tallada. La iglesia fue dañada por un bombardeo durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y los arquitectos de conservación Caroe & Partners llevaron a cabo trabajos de restauración entre 1946 y 1951. El vitral diseñado por Clayton y Bell se perdió durante el bombardeo, pero perdura un gran rosetón, obra de Ninian Comper, un renombrado diseñador del neogótico que vivió en Upper Norwood, en Beulah Hill. La iglesia cuenta con un órgano construido originalmente por Thomas Christopher Lewis en 1882 durante la construcción de la iglesia, cuando solo se había completado el presbiterio. El interior de la iglesia destaca por la calidad de su acústica y es utilizado frecuentemente por artistas de música clásica. En ella se han grabado algunos videoclips del grupo coral Libera​​ y se han celebrado alguno de sus conciertos como los que tuvieron lugar el 23 de marzo de 2007 y el 20 de diciembre de 2014.

St John's Church, Wigan

St John's Church is a Roman Catholic Church in Standishgate, Wigan, Greater Manchester. It is within 200 feet of another Catholic church, St Mary's. Construction on both churches, was done in a spirit of competition, so they both were finished in the same year, 1819. The competition was because St John's Church was originally served by the Society of Jesus, whereas St Mary's was always served by priests from the diocese. However, the Jesuits gave the church to the Archdiocese of Liverpool in 1933. It is a Grade II* listed building and the sanctuary inside the church was designed by Joseph John Scoles. History From 1623, for their own administrative purposes the Jesuits divided the country into 'residences' and St John's church was named after the 'residence' that covered Lancashire, St John's. Fr Charles Brockholes SJ was the person first connected to the mission of St. John's. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1704 and was sent to Wigan in 1740. When he arrived in Standishgate, where he paid for the building of a house that had a chapel upstairs. This house was built between Dicconson Street and Powell Street. As of 2013, the house still has a priest hiding hole, above a fireplace in the house. In 1817, the increasing Catholic population of the town meant that there were calls from the congregation for a larger place of worship to be built. A plot of land behind the chapel was used for construction and the foundation stone was laid on 27 January 1818. The church was opened on 24 June 1819. The new church cost £9,000 and could accommodate a congregation of 1,000 people. It was 120 feet long, 50 feet wide and 50 feet high, with room for the parishioners in the organ gallery. Over the following decades, the church was extended and renovated. In 1849, the interior of St. John's was again decorated at a cost of £400. In 1933, the Jesuits relinquished the church to the Archdiocese of Liverpool, so both churches were staffed by diocesan priests. Parish Like St Mary's church, St John's has two Masses for Sundays, with times that do not conflict with its neighbour, one Mass is 5:00pm Saturday afternoon and the other at 11:00am Sunday morning. Since 2018 St John's has been part of St William's parish. See also Society of Jesus Listed buildings in Wigan References External links St William's Parish site
St Joseph and St Francis Xavier Church

St Joseph and St Francis Xavier Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Richmond, North Yorkshire. It is situated between Newbiggin and Victoria Road to the south of Richmondshire Cricket Club. The church was built in 1868 and was designed by George Goldie. It was founded by the Society of Jesus and it is a Grade II listed building. History Foundation In 1794, Fr Thomas Austin Lawson OSB from Downside Abbey came to Richmond to start a mission to the local Catholics of the area. After twenty years of serving the Catholic community, Lawson was recalled to the monastery in 1814 and died there that year. The Jesuits took over the mission and sent Fr Robert Johnson SJ. He served the congregation for fifty years and died in 1865. In 1888, a memorial window to him was installed in the church. Construction In 1866, he was succeeded by Fr William Strickland SJ who saw that the small chapel Lawson and Johnson had used was too small for the growing congregation. He asked the architect George Goldie to design a church that would accommodate the community. In 1868, the church was completed and opened. However, the construction of the church and the nearby school, which became the parish hall, created a sizeable debt for the parish. Administration In 1961, a year before the Second Vatican Council, the Jesuits handed over the administration of the parish to the Diocese of Middlesbrough. The last Jesuit priest there was Fr Edmund Swift SJ. The diocese has continued to serve the parish ever since. Parish Mass times St Joseph and St Francis Xavier Church has two Masses every Sunday, one at 18:30 on Saturday evening and the other at 09:30 on Sunday morning. There are also weekday Masses at 09:30 from Monday through to Saturday. At St Mary's Wycliffe, within the parish, there is a Sunday Mass at 11:30, and weekday communion services at 09:00 from Monday to Friday, with one at 10:00 on Saturdays. St Mary's Church The parish priest also serves St Mary's Church in Wycliffe, County Durham, situated close to Barnard Castle and Hutton Magna. It was built in 1848-49 as a chapel for Wycliffe Hall. The church is now part of a retreat centre, St Mary's Centre.

The present church was originally built in the twelfth century probably to replace the previous one. In the 14th century the church was extended and conveyed to the Priory of the Holy Cross in Reigate. It also served as a school house for parts of the 17th century. 19th century In the 19th century, sizeable renovations were done to the church. Between 1835 and 1837 the nave was rebuilt. From 1866 to 1868, this was followed by the chancel being rebuilt. In 1872, the nave and aisles were restored again, this time under the direction of the architect Henry Woodyer.

St Mary Magdalene's Church, Lillington

St Mary Magdalene's Church, Lillington is the Church of England parish church of Lillington, Warwickshire, a part of Royal Leamington Spa with a population of about 11,000. The church is at the junction of Vicarage Road and Church Lane. It has been a Grade II listed building since 1949. History The earliest surviving parts of the present building are the possibly pre-Conquest doorway now located between the Lady Chapel and Sacristy, and the south wall of the chancel. The Perpendicular Gothic west tower is 15th century, built in about 1480. The remainder of the church is Victorian, built or rebuilt between 1847 and 1884.The old south aisle was extended and the north aisle added in 1847. The south aisle was then demolished and a wider aisle built in 1868. Dormer windows were inserted in the roof in 1875. In 1884 the chancel, apart from the south wall, was rebuilt and the Lady chapel and Sacristy on the north side of the chancel were added, the Romanesque doorway being relocated for the second time since 1847. Three of the stained glass windows are by C.E. Kempe and Company: the east window of the south aisle (1895) and two windows in the north aisle (1908 and 1920). A choir vestry was added in 1914. The pulpit is 20th century, designed by T. Lawrence Dale. A detached octagonal meeting room in the churchyard was built in 1987. Benjamin Satchwell, co-founder, promoter and poet of the spa at nearby Leamington, married Mary Whitmore in this church on 23 April 1764. In the churchyard, opposite the vestry door, is the famous 'Miser's Grave'. The headstone of William Treen, who died aged 77 on 3 February 1810, carries this inscription, quoted in many nineteenth-century guides to Leamington, and most famously by Nathaniel Hawthorne in Our Old Home in 1863: "I Poorly Liv'd and Poorly Dy'd, Poorly Bury'd and no one Cry'd." Bells The church has a ring of eight bells. The sixth bell is attributed to Thomas Harrys of London, cast about 1480, which makes it contemporary with the tower. The seventh bell was cast in 1625 by Watts of Leicester, and the tenor in 1675 by Henry Bagley of Chacombe, Northamptonshire. Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast the remaining five bells in 1927. The bells were re-hung by Nicholson Engineering of Bridport, Dorset in 2007. Clock Lillington church clock was made by Potts of Leeds and installed in 1897. It seems that the tower had no clock before then. The clock was renovated, the four dials repainted and gilded, and the mechanism repositioned within the ringing chamber, by the Cumbria Clock Company of Penrith in 2007.
