St Mary's Church, Barnes

St Mary's Church, Barnes, is the parish church of Barnes, formerly in Surrey and now in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is a Grade II* listed building. St Mary's Barnes is a thriving Christian community with an electoral roll of 250 and strong links across the local community. Along with the parishes of St Michael and All Angels, Barnes and Holy Trinity Barnes it forms the Barnes Team Ministry; the current Team Rector is The Rev'd Calum Zuckert. History The church was built of coursed flint some time between 1100 and 1150. It was enlarged and re-consecrated in 1215, after the signing of Magna Carta, by Cardinal Stephen Langton (c. 1150–1228), who was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1207 to 1228. It was extended to the west in the 13th century, and later to the east, creating a chancel. A west tower was added in the late 15th century. The north wall was demolished in the late 18th century to create a north aisle. The full set of eight bells in the tower was completed in 1897 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. A major fire on 8 June 1978 destroyed parts of the church, but left the tower and Norman chapel almost intact. The church was restored by Edward Cullinan with the inclusion of elements of its former structure. The north wall contains a Gothic Revival east window. The church was re-dedicated in February 1984, with the original building now named as the Langton Chapel, commemorating Archbishop Stephen Langton. Doors in memory of Viera Gray were engraved by Josephine Harris. Rectors Notable burials Major General Roger Elliott (c. 1665–1714), who lived at Byfeld House in Church Road, Barnes, was buried in the churchyard in May 1714. John Moody (c. 1727–1812), actor, who lived at 11 The Terrace, Barnes, c.1780 until his death, is buried in the churchyard with his two wives.

St Mary's Church, Castle Street, Reading

St Mary's Church, Castle Street is an independent church within the Continuing Anglican movement. It is located in the town centre of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire, and is a few yards from the similarly named, but much older Minster Church of St Mary the Virgin. In 1798, there was a disagreement between the Bishop and the congregation of St Giles' Church in nearby Southampton Street. Many of the congregation left and founded a new chapel in Castle Street, on the site of Reading's old gaol. This chapel eventually became the Church of St Mary, Castle Street. The church is a Grade II* listed building. The original 1798 building by Richard Billing was a simple Georgian building, but in 1840 the present hexastyle portico in Corinthian style was added by local brothers Henry and Nathaniel Briant. The frontage is rendered in stucco while the capitals of the portico are probably formed of Coade stone. The church has a late-18th-century gallery in five bays with marbled Doric ground floor and Ionic gallery columns. There is a modillion cornice to the coved central ceiling and a small projecting chancel with a bay for the mid-19th-century organ. The instrument, by Vowles of Bristol, is dated 1870, and was moved to St Mary's from Bristol in 1987. The church used to be lit by two mid-19th-century cast iron chandeliers. Today the church forms part of the Church of England (Continuing), a small group of four congregations outside the Church of England, self-identified on their website as "evangelical, reformed, Anglican".

St Mary's Church, Chaddesden

St Mary's Church is a Church of England parish church in Chaddesden, a suburb of Derby, England. One of the oldest churches in the city, it is a Grade I listed building dating back to the mid-14th century. History St Mary's was rebuilt by Henry Chaddesden, Archdeacon of Leicester, in approximately 1347; the chancel dates from this period. The church contains a 15th-century rood screen and an unusual chalice-shaped font which may be over 600 years old. The church has long been associated with the Wilmot family, who formerly owned much land around the then village of Chaddesden from the Mediaeval period. The monuments of several members of the family can be seen in the churchyard. The Wilmots' seat was the now demolished Chaddesden Hall, close to the church; the former grounds of the house form the modern Chaddesden Park, adjacent to St Mary's. One member of the family, Robert Wilmot, founded the almshouses which once stood outside the church; these are now demolished, although a hump on the ground indicate their location. The churchyard contains the war graves of a Royal Navy sailor and a General Service Corps soldier of World War II. Present day On 20 June 1952, the church was designated a Grade I listed building. In 2018 the church was put on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register which described it as being in 'poor' condition due to problems with the roof. As of 2019, however, the roof of the main part of the building has been entirely replaced with Westmorland Green Slate in a £250,000 project, largely funded by Historic England among others. St Mary's Church is within the Conservative Evangelical tradition of the Church of England. It receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Ebbsfleet. Organ The church pipe organ was built by Isaac Abbott of Leeds in 1876. The organ was erected to the memory of the parents of Sir Henry Wilmot, 5th Baronet and the opening recital was given on 28 September 1876. A specification of the organ as recorded in 1996 can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. The bells The peal of three bells dates from ca. 1499 (Mellours), 1652 (George Oldfield) and 1742 (Thomas Hedderly), and is currently unringable. However, a local community group was set up in 2023 to raise the funds necessary to get the bells back to full swing, and the project is expected to be completed in 2025/2026.

St Mary's Church, Chilton

St Mary's Church is a redundant Church of England parish church in the civil parish of Chilton, Suffolk, England. It is a Grade I listed building, and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church is about 550 yards (500 m) south of the Tudor Chilton Hall and 1+1⁄4 miles (2 km) east-northeast of the centre of Sudbury. To the north and east it is surrounded by farmland. To the south and west are the Sudbury eastern bypass and associated modern buildings on the outskirts of Sudbury. History The nave and chancel of the church are Perpendicular Gothic, built of flint in the 15th century. The south porch is also flint, but with brick quoins. In the 16th century the Crane chapel north of the chancel and the west tower were added, and a Tudor window was inserted in the nave over the north doorway. All the 16th-century additions are built of brick. The Crane chapel was built as a chantry chapel housing the table tombs of George Crane, who died in 1491, and Robert Crane, who died in 1500, and his wife. There is an alabaster recumbent effigy of George Crane on his tomb. After the Reformation the chapel continued as the Crane family mausoleum with the addition of the wall-mounted monument to Sir Robert Crane, 1st Baronet and his two wives. Sir Robert died in 1643 but he had the monument carved in 1626 by Gerard Christmas. The William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, part of the University of California, Los Angeles has a unique manuscript of a sermon preached at St Mary's by Matthew Lawrence at the time Ipswich Town Preacher. This was delivered at the marriage ceremony of Anne Crane, the daughter of Sir Robert Crane to Sir William Armine, 2nd Baronet on 28 August 1649. The handwritten book, which mimics the style of a printed book, was produced by John Raymond and was sponsored by Lawrence as a gift for the groom's father, Sir William Armine, 1st Baronet, who had requested a copy. He had been a patron of Matthew Lawrence for many years. The book was previously owned by the antiquarian, John Eglington Bailey and the designer, Richard Harding Watt. By the 1970s the small population of the parish of Chilton could no longer support the church. The Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich merged the benefice with that of St Gregory's Church, Sudbury and declared St Mary's redundant. In the 1980s the church building was vested in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Architecture The west tower has substantial brick angle buttresses. The tower and nave have flint battlements and the tower has crocketted pinnacles at the four corners. The Crane chapel is of two bays and its two northern corners have diagonal buttresses. The south porch has a moulded brick parapet.
