St Martin's Church, Acrise

St Martin's Church is an Anglican church in the village and parish of Acrise in Kent, England. The church dates back to the Norman era, and was designated a Grade I listed building in 1966. History and architecture The lower chancel and the nave are both from Norman times, built out of coursed boulder flint and ironstone with Caen dressings. In the chancel, outlines of a south window and a priest's doorway are visible, and a blocked north window is present in the nave. The west doorway dates from the 13th century. The chancel was lengthened circa 1300, and contains a mutilated two-light east window. The large round-headed windows elsewhere in the church are from the 18th century, as is the chequered brick porch. The west bellcote and tired spirelet were remade after 1922. The west buttresses are full-height, and date back to the 19th century. The chancel arch contains impost shafts which die in halfway down, as well as a sharply pointed arch which is made out reused stones carved with 12th-century embattling. The chancel and nave roofs have crown posts. The west gallery is deep, with turned balusters and carved and gilded royal arms of William and Mary. The manorial pew on the south side of the church contains a table dated to 1758, as well as small 18th-century schoolchildren's chairs. The chancel was restored in the 19th century, which is most visible at the east end. Glass and monuments St Martin's displays two noteworthy stained glass windows; the first is a grisaille with coloured borders, built in 1855 by Powell. The second is that of the Good Shepherd and Light of the World, built in 1897 by Heaton, Butler and Bayne and installed in the east chancel. Monuments in the church include that of Mary Heyman (died 1601, in 28-inch brass with a damaged head; Ann Papillon (died 1693) and her daughter Ann (died 1694), presented in a cartouche placed above the family pew, and signed by Joseph Helby; and William Turner (died 1729), presented in a long tablet.

St Clement's Church, Old Romney

St Clement's Church is an Anglican church, in the village of Old Romney, Kent, England. It is a Grade I listed building. The church is dedicated to Saint Clement, a successor to Saint Peter at Rome. It is built on an artificial mound to protect it from floodwater. It is thought the original church was built in the 8th century. In the 11th or 12th century the Saxon church was replaced by an early Norman church, aisleless and with a square-ended chancel. It was enlarged in the 13th century. The present building, mostly of the 13th century, has a nave and chancel, and there are north and south chapels. There is a small tower, with south-east and south-west buttresses, in the south-west corner, and a north porch. Interior The box pews in the nave are of the 18th century. At the west end is a gallery, of late 18th century, supported by four Doric columns. There are Georgian wooden panels showing texts, on the walls of the nave. The font, in the south-west, is of the Decorated period, about 1300. It is square, and is supported by a central octagonal pillar; at each corner is a column with a carved capital. In the chancel of the north chapel is a medieval altar stone, or mensa. This was found, during the renovation of the late 1960s, in the ground outside the church near the porch, and was originally thought to be a memorial slab. Chancel Over the chancel arch is the Royal Arms of England, of 1800 (including the Fleur-de-lys, omitted in later Royal Arms). The altar rails are of the early 18th century. There are 17th-century wooden panels behind the altar showing the Lord's Prayer, the Creed and the Commandments. A stone slab to the memory of John Deffray is in the middle of the chancel floor. Deffray, a Huguenot, born in France in 1661, was Rector of St Clements from 1690 to his death in 1738. The slab bears his French coat of arms. Renovation In 1929 the panelling round the chancel arch, of about 1788, was removed; this revealed a rood staircase doorway, and two hagioscopes between nave and chancel. The plaster ceiling of the chancel was removed, revealing the rafters. In 1959 there was renovation by Anthony Swaine, a Canterbury architect. The east face of the tower was rebuilt and some timber was replaced. The roof over the nave and south aisle was repaired. Renovation ceased when the money available was exhausted. The church was used for location scenes in the film Dr Syn, Alias the Scarecrow (1963); for this the film company repainted the box pews and the gallery, and repaired the stairway to the gallery. The film company left money for further repairs to be done, and, also supported by other grants, renovation was continued; it was completed in 1968. Churchyard The grave of the film-maker Derek Jarman (1942–1994) is in the churchyard. References
St Nicholas Church, New Romney

St Nicholas Church is an Anglican church in New Romney, Kent, England, and in the Diocese of Canterbury. It is a Grade I listed building. The earliest parts of the church date from the 12th century. Churches in the town Until 1547, there were five parish churches in New Romney: St. Laurence, St. Martin, St. John, St. Michael and St. Nicholas, of which only the latter survives. The oldest, St Martin, was a Saxon church; it may have been built on the site of an earlier oratory dedicated to that saint. St Laurence, a later Saxon church, stood at the west end of High Street. By 1282, St Martin and St Laurence had become dependent chapels of St Nicholas. They were both demolished in the 16th century. Description St. Nicholas's Church traces its history back to Bishop Odo, brother-in-law of William the Conqueror, who founded the site in 1086. The nave and clerestory, originally with low-pitched side aisles, date from the 12th century, constructed from Caen stone by masons from Normandy. The two upper stages of the tower, with corner turrets and octagonal parapet, date from about 1200. In the 14th century, the easternmost bay of the nave, the chancel, and two side-chapels were built, and the side aisles were raised. The church was near a harbour until the storm of 1287. The storm deposited silt in the town and changed the course of the River Rother (so that since then it has flowed into the sea at Rye); the street level remains higher than the church, and there are steps descending to the west entrance. Other traces of the storm are visible around the church. The Norman arch of the west entrance, and the Norman arcades between the nave and the aisles, are notable. The east window has reticulated tracery, with Victorian stained glass commemorating members of the Stringer family, a prominent local family. In the south aisle is the tomb of Richard Stuppeny (died 1526), jurat of the town. A monumental brass on the tomb tells that it was renewed in 1622 by his great-grandson Clement Stuppeny. Until the passing of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, the jurats assembled annually around the tomb to elect the mayor. The Church today As part of the Romney Marsh Benefice, the church is currently overseen by the Team Rector, the Reverend Chris Hodgkins. On the first, second and third Sundays of the month, Holy Communion is held at 11 a.m., and on fourth Sundays, morning worship is held, both according to Common Worship. Fifth Sundays, when occurring, feature Benefice Communion services which move around the Benefice.

Moccas Court

Moccas Court is an 18th-century country house which sits in sloping grounds overlooking the River Wye north of the village of Moccas, Herefordshire, England. The house was built in 1775–81 by the architect Anthony Keck for Sir George Amyand Cornewall to replace the existing Manor house near the church. Built in three storeys to a rectangular plan, it was constructed of brick with stone dressings and a stone tile roof. It has a seven bay frontage with a single storey semi-circular plan porch which was added in 1792. The grounds were landscaped to plans by Capability Brown. The house is a Grade I listed building. The Cornewall family occupied Moccas until 1916 when Sir Geoffrey Cornewall, the 6th Baronet, moved to a smaller house on the estate, after which the house was let on a long lease. After death of Sir William Cornewall, the 7th Baronet in 1962, the estate passed to the Chester-Master family who owned the house until 2014. It was then sold to Linda Bennett, founder of the fashion house L.K.Bennett. References

Church of the Holy Trinity, Bosbury

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Church of England parish church in Bosbury in the English county of Herefordshire. Its bell tower stands well apart from the church. Both are Grade I listed buildings. History The lordship of the manor of Bosbury was held by the Bishops of Hereford from the Early Middle Ages. The bishops constructed an episcopal palace, the remnants of which now form Old Court Farmhouse, to the north of the church. The present church dates from the early 13th century, and incorporates elements of an earlier structure. The Victoria County History for Herefordshire suggests that the disused baptismal font is Anglo-Saxon in date. In the 15th century the palace ceased to be used by the bishops, and was leased to Thomas Morton, archdeacon of Hereford, and a relative of Cardinal John Morton who served as Archbishop of Canterbury. Morton built the Morton Chapel attached to the side of the church. The condition of the church declined in the 17th and 18th centuries and it was restored in the 19th. The church remains an active parish church in the Diocese of Hereford. Regular services are held. Bell tower The bell tower also dates from the 13th century but is wholly detached from the church. Such separation, and the fortified nature of the tower, were fairly common features in churches along the Welsh Marches as they provided a greater measure of defence. Architecture Both church and tower are constructed of sandstone rubble. The church has an arcaded nave and windows with Perpendicular Gothic tracery. The rood screen may date from the 11th century, although it has been heavily restored. The later Morton Chapel has been considered an unsympathetic addition; the church website concludes; "it concedes nothing to the simple Transitional church with which it can only be said to have collided". The tower is strongly fortified; it rises 48 feet high with walls 6 feet thick. Gallery Notes References Sources Boucher, Andrew R; Morriss, Richard K. (2011).

Holy Trinity Church, Bradford-on-Avon

Holy Trinity Church, Bradford-on-Avon is a Grade I listed church in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, England, with 12th-century origins. It is part of the Church of England within the Anglican Communion and Diocese of Salisbury. History The present church was built around 1150 and originally consisted of a chancel and nave. The chancel was lengthened around the beginning of the 13th century, and a section of the south-east wall rebuilt in 1707. In 2016, the sale of a Flemish masterpiece by Quentin Matsys funded a £2m refurbishment of the church, which swept away the then 150-year-old pews and other fittings by Bath architect John Elkington Gill, to cater for changes in taste. A squint near the altar is claimed to be England's longest. The tower with spire was built around 1480, replacing an older one, and the south wall was largely rebuilt in the 19th century. The church has a ring of eight bells, with the tenor (heaviest bell) weighing 29 long cwt 2 qr 26 lb (3,330 lb or 1,510 kg). The building was designated as Grade I listed in 1952. The parish of Holy Trinity has been a part of the benefice of Bradford on Avon Holy Trinity, Westwood and Wingfield since 2013. Leadership As of 2024, the rector is Jennifer Louise Nelson.

Bootsmagazin Nr. 78 im Naval Dockyard

Das ehemalige Bootsmagazin Nr. 78 in der Marinewerft in Sheerness, auch Boat Store Building Number 78 oder Shed Number 78 genannt, ist ein mittlerweile leerstehendes Gebäude, das der Royal Navy früher als Bootslager für kleinere Boote diente. Geschichte Das Bootsmagazin wurde von der Baubehörde der Admiralität in Auftrag gegeben. Es wurde in den Jahren 1859–61, nach anderen Quellen 1856–60, von den Architekten G. T. Greene und William Scamp entworfen und gebaut. Die eisernen Bauteile stammten von den Regents Canal Iron Works von Henry Grissell. Das Gebäude zählt zu den herausragendsten Konstruktionen seiner Zeit, da sowohl in der Gestaltung als auch in der Bauweise Techniken verwendet wurden, die sich erst Jahre später durchsetzten. Es gilt als weltweit frühestes erhaltenes Beispiel eines mehrstöckigen Stahlskelettbaus mit Plattenverkleidung, der ursprünglich ohne Mauerwerk auskam – erst 1946 wurden im Erdgeschoss Mauerwerksausfachungen angebracht. Ältere Gebäude wie der Crystal Palace oder das ursprüngliche South-Kensington-Museum sind nicht mehr erhalten. Das Gebäude bleib eine singuläre Erscheinung. Die Konstruktionsweise wurde später erst wieder von den Pionieren im Wolkenkratzerbau in Chicago übernommen. Das Bootsmagazin steht seit 1962 unter Denkmalschutz (Grade I). Architektur Das viergeschossige Gebäude misst 63 Meter in der Länge und 40 Meter in der Breite. Es verfügt über einen Mittelgang, der beidseitig auf jedem Stockwerk von sieben säulenfreien Lagerbuchten flankiert wird. Eine Stirnseite des Gangs ist durch ein Schiebetor, die andere durch eine feste Wand abgeschlossen. Nahe dem Schiebetor überspannt ein gesteifer Träger den Mittelgang – er diente einst zum Anheben der Boote. In jedem Stockwerk transportierte eine auf Schienen laufende Plattform die Boote zu den seitlich angeordneten Lagerbuchten. In der südöstlichen Ecke des dritten Geschosses befindet sich ein verglaster Büroraum, von dem aus eine hölzerne Wendeltreppe zur achteckigen Kuppel auf dem Dach führt. Ähnlich einem Stahlskelettbau weist das Gebäude ein eisernes Tragwerk auf, das ursprünglich mit Holzplatten und später mit Wellblech verkleidet wurde. Es besteht aus gusseisernen H-Profil-Pfosten, I-Profil-Querbalken und genieteten, schmiedeeisernen Unterzügen, die steif miteinander verbunden sind. Das Innere des Bootmagazins ist in drei Schiffe unterteilt: ein offenes, drei Pfosten breites Mittelschiff sowie zwei seitliche Schiffe mit je drei Pfosten Tiefe, die die Lagerbuchten beherbergen.

Church of St James, Kinnersley

The Church of St James is a Church of England parish church at Kinnersley in the English county of Herefordshire. It is a Grade I listed building. History The Church of St James dates from the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries. It was restored in 1868 by Thomas Nicholson. From 1873, interior decoration was designed by George Frederick Bodley and carried out by the Reverend Frederick Andrews. In the previous year, Bodley had married Minna Reavely; the Reavely family were the owners of Kinnersley Castle, immediately adjacent to the church. Bodley was buried in the churchyard at St James', following his death in 1907. The church remains an active parish church in the Diocese of Hereford. The building suffered deterioration in the 21st century; the roof has now been repaired but the ingress of water caused damp which has damaged the interior decoration. The church is currently on the Heritage at Risk Register. Architecture and description The design of the church is unusual. Its "most impressive" element is the, almost detached, tower, constructed in the 14th century. The body of the church is simple, a chancel dating from c.1300, with a north aisle and an arcade. The interior has waggon roofs, with "rich" decoration designed by Bodley and executed by Andrews. It includes much multi-coloured stenciling. Alan Brooks, in the 2012 revised Herefordshire volume of the Buildings of England series, describes the decoration as "particularly fine". St James is a Grade I listed building. The church contains some notable monuments, including one of the mid-17th century to Francis Smallman and his wife Susan, which Pevsner attributes to Samuel Baldwin. The war memorial in the churchyard is designed in the form of an obelisk and commemorates the men of the village who died in both the First and the Second World Wars. It is a Grade II listed structure. Bodley's grave, which is also listed at Grade II, is close to that of his collaborator on the interior decoration of the church, the Rev. Frederick Andrews.
