St Margaret's Church, Halstead

St Margaret's Church is an Anglican parish church in the village of Halstead and the Sevenoaks deanery, although the church also serves the village of Badgers Mount. St Katharine's and St Margaret's came together in 1983 as a United Benefice under one parish priest. The pattern of services reflects the fact that it is two parishes working closely together. History and architecture St Margaret's is built across the road from the site of the original demolished medieval church, the only remaining sections of which include the monuments held inside the current church; these monuments date back to the mid-15th century. The chancel was built in 1855 by R. C. Hussey, and is described by architectural historian John Newman as having "flintwork [that] is laboriously galleted with flint flakes", and was originally built as a burial chapel. The nave and the lean-to south aisle are combined under a single roof built by W. M. Teulon between 1880 and 1881. The south-west porch is timber-framed, and is "picturesquely" grouped with the south-east gabled window and a large west bell-gable. The north aisle and vestry were built by St Aubyn and Wadling in 1897, and the outer north aisle was completed in 1992. The interior is unified, boasting "three-bay arcades with circular piers, bold capitals and deeply moulded red brick arches." The organ case was possibly provided by Teulon, and includes a canted front. The stained glass windows in the west of the nave were designed by Casolani and brought in from the old church in 1867. Those in the east chancel depict Christ in Majesty, and were designed in the 1880s by Hardman & Co. The north aisle's windows were built by Morris & Co. in 1909, using designs by Edward Burne-Jones; those in the south aisle were designed by Marguerite Douglas-Thomson in 1950. Monuments present inside the church include a dedication to William Burys, who died in 1444 and is depicted in armour in 26 inch high brass; William Petley, who died in 1528 and is depicted with his wife in a comparatively small brass; and Sir James Ashe, who died in 1733, his dedication presented in a white marble tablet, depicting cherubs at the top and bottom, and signed by Jonathan Barker - this is the latter's only known work. There is also a grave of a crusader at this church. See also List of places of worship in Sevenoaks District St Katharine's Church, Knockholt References Sources Newman, John (2012) [1969].

St Margaret's Church, High Bentham

St Margaret's Church is in Station Road, High Bentham, North Yorkshire, England. It is an Anglican parish church in the deanery of Ewecross, the archdeaconry of Craven, and the Diocese of Leeds. Its benefice is united with that of St John the Baptist, Low Bentham. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History St Margaret's was built in 1837. It was extended in 1901–02 by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley. The additions included a new chancel, transepts, organ chamber and vestries. The plaster ceiling was removed from the nave, which was reseated, and a tower screen and pulpit were installed. These alterations cost £2,014 (equivalent to £210,000 in 2025). The church was closed in 2012 and subsequently converted into two private homes. The congregation either meets at St Boniface's Roman Catholic Church, or at St John's Church in Low Bentham. Architecture The church is constructed in stone, with a slate roof. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave, a two-bay chancel with a north vestry and a south chapel, and a west tower. The tower has octagonal angle turrets, and an embattled parapet. It is in three stages, with a west doorway in the bottom stage. The middle stage contains a stepped triple window, and in the top stage are two-light bell openings. Along the sides of the nave are four two-light lancet windows. The chapel has two-light windows on the north and south sides, and a three-light window on the east. The east end of the chancel has a four-light window containing trefoil plate tracery. The two-manual pipe organ was built in 1893, and rebuilt in 1937 by Henry Ainscough of Preston.

St Margaret's Church, Hornby

St Margaret's Church is in Main Street, Hornby, Lancashire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Blackburn, the archdeaconry of Lancaster and the deanery of Tunstall. Its benefice is combined with those of St Michael, Whittington, St John, Arkholme, and St John, Gressingham. History A church was on the site in 1338. The oldest part of the current church is the tower, which was built by Sir Edward Stanley, Lord Mounteagle, in 1514. Lord Mounteagle also arranged for the rebuilding of the chancel but this was incomplete when he died in 1524. In 1817 the old nave was demolished and replaced by a new nave. In 1888–89 a Victorian restoration was carried out by the Lancaster architects Paley, Austin and Paley. The nave was largely rebuilt, arcades and a clerestory were inserted, the church was reroofed and refloored, the west gallery was removed, the box pews were replaced by modern seating, the vestry was converted into an organ chamber, and a new vestry was built; this was done at an estimated cost of £3,000 (equivalent to £340,000 in 2025). A stained glass window from 1908 commemorates St Cecilia, gifted by survivors of William Henry Foster, as inscribed in the dedication. Unusually, it shows lady's slipper orchids (Cypripedium calceolus) at her feet. Architecture Exterior The church is built in sandstone ashlar and its plan consists of a west tower, a nave and chancel under a continuous roof with a clearstory, and north and south aisles. The tower has three stages and is octagonal with the two upper stages being set diagonally to the base. Its parapet is embattled with pinnacles. The middle stage has a clock and a plaque carved with the Mounteagle arms. The nave and aisles have embattled parapets. At the east end is a semi-octagonal apse. Interior In the church is a monument to Dr Lingard, the Roman Catholic priest from St Mary's Church, Hornby, who died in 1851. Also in the church are two fragments of Anglo-Saxon crosses. The organ was built by Abbott and Smith and moved to St Margaret's from Hornby Castle in 1899. It was renovated by Ainscough around 1950 and restored by Harrison & Harrison in 1986. There is a ring of eight bells. Six of these were cast by Abel Rudhall in 1761 and the other two by Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1922. The parish register of baptisms begins in 1742 and that of burials in 1763. External features In the churchyard is a sandstone Anglo-Saxon cross base which is listed at Grade II*. The churchyard also contains the war grave of a Manchester Regiment officer of World War II.

St Margaret's Convent, Hertfordshire

St Margaret's Convent was a convent of the Benedictine order near Great Gaddesden in Hertfordshire, England. Founded in 1160, it was abolished as a consequence of King Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries in the 1530s. It was also known as The Priory of Ivinghoe, St. Margaret's, in the Wood and Muresley Priory. It was founded by Henry de Blois, Bishop of Winchester. Some accounts point to an earlier foundation by Thomas Becket before 1129. It therefore predated the nearby Ashridge Priory. In 1280 King Edward I gave lands in Surrey to the convent, but it was always known for its poverty. Names of some of the prioresses survive, from Isoda, elected in 1250, to Margaret Hardwick, in place at the time of closure under the first Act of Suppression of 1535, when the convent had five nuns, and an annual income of £18 8s 9d. It was sold to Sir John Dauncey in 1538, along with the Manor of Muresley. It changed hands over the centuries, finally passing to the Earls of Bridgewater and Lord Brownlow in 1823. The buildings are described as being of Totternhoe stone with mullioned windows, square mouldings and trefoil-headed stained glass windows. The structure survived as a manor house until at least 1802, but had been almost completely demolished by 1862. Several place names persist from the convent, including St Margaret's Lane and Farm; and the district north-west of Great Gaddesden is still known as St Margaret's. The modern Buddhist monastery of Thai Forest Tradition, Amaravati Buddhist Monastery is situated only a quarter of a mile from the site. References
St Margaret's School Hampstead

St Margaret's School (Hampstead) is a private girls' school in Hampstead, North London. The school has 170 girls (ages 4 to 16) and 25 teachers. In 2008 and 2009 the school came top of the Sunday Times' Small Independent Schools' league table. History Because the school was privately owned for the first 70 or so years of its existence, there are few official records of its early years. The first mention of "St Margaret’s" is in 1898, when a newspaper advertisement appeared, announcing that Elizabeth Isabella Tulloch would be moving the school to "St Margaret’s, Oak Hill Park." Tulloch, the school's founder, was principal of the school, and its owner, for 44 years. In 1928 Hilda Jean Copinger took over on Tulloch's retirement, with co-principal Margaret Macrae overseeing the academic side. The joint rule was formally dissolved in 1933. Location Since 1954 the school has one main building and two outside classrooms in Kidderpore Gardens in the residential part of Hampstead.

St Margaret and St James' Church, Long Marton

St Margaret and St James' Church is located about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) to the south of the village of Long Marton, Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Appleby, the archdeaconry of Carlisle, and the diocese of Carlisle. The parish is one of ten local parishes which form the benefice of the Heart of Eden. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. History Originating before the Norman Conquest of 1066, the church contains Anglo-Saxon and Norman architectural features. The tower was added probably in the early 12th century, and the chancel was extended later that century. A south chapel was added in the 15th century, and the vestry in the following century. The church was restored by John A. Cory in 1880. Architecture The church is constructed in stone with large quoins and slate roofs. Its plan consists of a nave with a south porch, a south chapel (or transept), a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower. Parts of the nave walls are Anglo-Saxon, other parts of the nave and the blocked north doorway are Norman, and the chancel is in Decorated style. The tower is in three stages, with paired bell openings. The windows around the church are in varying styles, most of them being mullioned. Three of the doorways have tympana containing carvings of dragons and other items. Inside the chancel are a double sedilia and a piscina. Most of the furnishings are from Cory's restoration. A window has been inserted into the blocked north doorway; this contains stained glass dated 1930 by Stanley M. Scott, depicting Saints Margaret and James flanked by Saints Cosmas and Damian. In the south transept is a window of 1925 to the memory of the architect George Dominic Stampa.

St Margaret Pattens

St Margaret Pattens ist eine anglikanische Kirche im Londoner Innenstadtbezirk City of London. Geschichte Die Ersterwähnung der am Eastcheap oder Ostmarkt in der Nähe der London Bridge und der Themse gelegenen Kirche erfolgte 1067 in einer Urkunde König Williams I. für Westminster Abbey, der sie bis zur Auflösung der Klöster in der Zeit der Reformation angehörte. Die zuletzt 1538 erneuerte mittelalterliche Kirche wurde 1666 im Großen Brand von London zerstört, doch verzögerte sich zunächst der Baubeginn, so dass erst in den Jahren 1684 bis 1687 der Wiederaufbau durch Christopher Wren vorgenommen werden konnte. Der Turmbau wurde zwischen 1698 und 1702 zugefügt. Die Kirche erhielt ihren ungewöhnlichen Beinamen von der hier angesiedelten Gilde der Pattenmacher. Langzeitiger Rektor der Kirche war der Historiker Thomas Birch, der hier 1766 bestattet wurde. Als eine der wenigen der Londoner Wren-Kirchen entging St Margaret Pattens der Zerstörung im Zweiten Weltkrieg, doch wurde die Kirchengemeinde 1954 aufgelöst und die Kirche nach ihrer Restaurierung in eine „Guild Church“ (Gildenkirche) für die in der Umgebung arbeitenden Menschen umgewandelt. Architektur Der von Wren ausgeführte Kirchenbau ist, ganz ähnlich wie die benachbarte Kirche St Clement Eastcheap, eine einfache, im Innern voutengedeckte Saalkirche mit nördlich angebautem Seitenschiff und einem in den Winkel zwischen beiden eingesetzten Turmbau, der ganz wie ein mittelalterlicher Kirchturm mit einem hohen Steilhelm ausgestattet ist. Das durch korinthische Säulen abgetrennte Seitenschiff enthält einen Emporeneinbau, der nachträglich zu Gemeinderäumen abgetrennt wurde. Ausstattung Die Kirche hat weitgehend ihre Originalausstattung mit Kanzel, Altarwand und Vertäfelung behalten. Das Altargemälde zeigt eine Darstellung des Christus in Gethsemane des römischen Barockmalers Carlo Maratta. Die Orgel wurde 1750 durch Thomas Griffin eingebaut und 1856 durch G. M. Holdich sowie 1886 durch Forster & Andrews erneuert und 1911 erweitert. 1954 erfolgte eine Restaurierung durch Rushworth & Dreaper, bei der das Pedal erweitert wurde.

St Margaret Pattens

St Margaret Pattens is a Church of England church in the City of London, located on Eastcheap near the Monument. The dedication is to Saint Margaret of Antioch. History The church was first recorded in 1067, at which time the church was probably built from wood. It was rebuilt in stone at some unknown subsequent date but fell into disrepair and had to be demolished in 1530. It was rebuilt in 1538 but was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The present church was built by Sir Christopher Wren in 1687. It is one of only a few City churches to have escaped significant damage in the Second World War. In 1954 St Margaret Pattens ceased to be a parish church and became one of the City’s guild churches, within the living of the Lord Chancellor and under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of London. They have a regular weekday, rather than Sunday congregation, drawn mostly from people who work in offices nearby. The tower accommodates the office of the Archdeacon of Hackney. The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 4 January 1950. Building The church's exterior is notable for its 200 feet (61 m) spire, Wren's third highest and the only one that he designed in a medieval style. This is sometimes referred to as Wren's only "true spire". The church’s interior is a simple rectangle with some unusual fittings – the only canopied pews in London, dating from the 17th century. These were intended for the churchwardens. The initials "CW" which appear in one of the pews have been thought to refer to Christopher Wren, but they may also signify "church warden." Other features in the interior include a punishment box carved with the Devil's head where wrongdoers had to sit during the church service. Name The church's name is traditionally said to derive from pattens, wooden-soled overshoes, later soled with raised iron rings, that, as elsewhere, parishioners would be asked to remove on entering the church. These raised shoes enabled people to walk about the streets of London without muddying their feet. The church has certainly long been associated with their livery company, the Worshipful Company of Pattenmakers. Another possibility is that the church's name actually commemorates a benefactor, possibly one Ranulf Patin, a canon at St Paul's Cathedral during the medieval period, although it would be most unusual for a benefactor to be commemorated in this way.

Церковь Святой Маргариты (Монумент, Лондон)

Церковь Святой Маргариты у Монумента (Сент-Маргарет-Паттенс; англ. St Margaret Pattens) — бывшая англиканская приходская церковь на улице Истчеп (Сити) города Лондона (Великобритания); была основана в XI века; нынешнее здание было построено после Великого пожара, к 1687 году по проекту Кристофера Рена. С 1950 года входит в список памятников архитектуры; не имеет собственного прихода — является церковью гильдии. История и описание Церковь Святой Маргариты на улице Истчеп была основана в XI веке: самое раннее сохранившееся упоминание о, вероятно, деревянном храме на этом месте датируется 1067 годом. Традиционно считается, что название церкви «паттенс» происходит от галош на деревянной подошве — церковь долгое время была связана с компанией (купеческой гильдией) «The Worshipful Company of Pattenmakers», изготовлявшей подобную обувь. Позднее храм, посвящённый Марине Антиохийской, был перестроен из камня, но пришел в упадок в конце Средних веков — он был снесен в 1530 году. Церковь была восстановлена в 1538 году. Затем, во время Великого лондонского пожара, в 1666 году она полностью сгорела. Нынешняя церковь Святой Маргариты была построена по проекту архитектора Кристофера Рена в период с 1684 по 1687 год. Внешний вид церкви примечателен своим 200-футовым шпилем — третьим по высоте шпилем за авторством Рена и единственным, который он спроектировал в средневековом стиле. Церковь стала одной из немногих городских церквей, которые избежали значительных повреждений во время Второй мировой войны — в ходе бомбовых ударов периода «Блица» 1940 года. После войны, 4 января 1950 года, церковное здание было внесено в список памятников архитектуры первой степени (Grade I). В 1954 году церковь перестала быть приходской: она стала одной из церквей городских гильдий, принадлежащих лорду-канцлеру и находящихся под юрисдикцией епископа Лондона. В подобных храмах в обычный будний день — а не воскресенье — собираются люди, работающие в соседних офисах. В церковной башне-колокольне Святой Маргариты находится офис архидиакона Хакни (Archdeacon of Hackney). В храме сохранились единственные в Лондоне церковные скамьи, датируемые XVII веком и предназначавшиеся для церковных старост.

St Margaret of Antioch Church, Leigh Delamere

St Margaret of Antioch Church in Leigh Delamere, Wiltshire, England was built on the site of a previous 12th-century church in 1846 and dedicated to Margaret the Virgin. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II* listed building, and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 1 November 1992, and was vested in the Trust on 16 December 1993. The previous church had been built around 1190, in an Early English style with Norman features. In 1301 the patron of the church was John De la Mare. By 1846 the church was in a dilapidated condition and it would have cost more to repair than rebuild. The new church was commissioned by Joseph Neeld and designed by James Thomson, who also designed the nearby Grittleton House. Stonework from the earlier church, including the bell tower, was reused by Thomson to build Sevington School. The Gothic chancel includes a reredos which is carved and decorated in many colours. The west window has stained glass by Thomas Wilmshurst. There are many memorials including those to the Neeld Baronets. A new organ was installed in 1896, and electricity supplied in 1949, although attendance by this time was very low. The building was designated as Grade II* listed in 1960, and the roadside lychgate as Grade II in 1988. In the 21st century a 15th-century stone rood which had been hidden under the pews was restored by Minerva Conservation and placed in the chancel. In 2016 the church was used as a venue for "pop-up" opera with a performance of The Barber of Seville.
