All Saints Church in Wilden, Worcestershire about one mile to the north east of Stourport. It was designed by William Hopkins with funds provided by Alfred Baldwin very close to his own home, Wilden House and one of his large iron works. It served the Baldwin family and their employees and was consecrated in 1880. The church has been designated as Grade II listed by Historic England. The original windows were replaced, between 1902 and 1914, with 14 designs by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, a brother-in-law of Alfred Baldwin. Louisa Baldwin commissioned the windows. She is buried at the church. The windows are dedicated to members of the MacDonald, Baldwin and Burne-Jones families; one shows Louisa Baldwin's only child, the future prime minister, Stanley Baldwin, setting out on life's journey accompanied by a guardian angel.

Church of All Saints, Wootton Courtenay

The Church of All Saints in Wootton Courtenay, Somerset, England, dates from the 13th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. A previous church on the site was given to the Priory of St. Andrews of the Ards in the 12th century. The three-bay nave, chancel and four-stage tower survive from the 13th century. They were built of local red sandstone with Hamstone dressings. In the 15th century the nave was given a new roof and the north aisle was added around the same time. Major restoration was undertaken in the 19th century when the porch was rebuilt and the height of the tower increased. Much of the woodwork in the church was carved by local craftsmen. In 1964 the roof had to be replaced because of deathwatch beetle. Inside the church is a 15th-century iron bound chest which was used to secure the plate and other valuables of the church. The stained glass is from the 19th century. In the churchyard is an early 15th-century cross. The calvary at the top was replaced in the mid 19th century. The parish is part of the benefice of Dunster, Carhampton, Withycombe with Roduish, Timberscombe and Wootton Courtenay within the Exmoor deanery.

Church of Christ the Consoler

The Church of Christ the Consoler is a Victorian Gothic Revival church built in the Early English style by William Burges. It is located in the grounds of Newby Hall at Skelton-on-Ure, in North Yorkshire, England. Burges was commissioned by George Robinson, 1st Marquess of Ripon, to build it as a tribute to the Marquess' brother-in-law, Frederick Vyner. The church is a Grade I listed building as of 6 March 1967, and was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust on 14 December 1991. History Frederick Vyner was "taken prisoner by Greek brigands in the neighbourhood of Athens April 11th 1870 and murdered by them April 21st." A significant ransom had been demanded, and in part collected, before his murder. Frederick's mother, Lady Mary Vyner determined that the unused funds would be used to construct a memorial church on her Yorkshire estate, his sister, Lady Ripon, embarking on an identical project, building St Mary's Church on her estate at Studley Royal. Burges obtained the commissions for both churches in 1870, perhaps because of the connection between his greatest patron, John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, and Vyner, who had been friends at Oxford. The construction of the Church of Christ the Consoler began in 1871 and the church was complete by 1876. Architecture and description The exterior is constructed of grey Catraig stone, with Morcar stone for the mouldings and is in an Early English style. The interior is faced with white limestone and exceptionally rich, with members of Burges' favourite team, Thomas Nicholls and Lonsdale, contributing. It is particularly interesting as representing an architectural move from Burges' favourite Early French style to an English inspiration. Pevsner describes it thus: "Of determined originality, the impression is one of great opulence, even if of a somewhat elephantine calibre." In 2007, architectural historian James Stevens Curl mentioned the church among five worthwhile buildings where "it is still possible to experience something of the Victorian mastery of colour, detail, and architectural grandeur", along with the palace of Westminster, Westminster Cathedral, All Saints' Church in Margaret Street and All Saints' Church in Maidenhead.

Церковь короля Карла Мученика (корн. Eglos Karol Myghtern ha Merther, англ. Church of King Charles the Martyr) — англиканская церковь, расположенная в городе Фалмут, Англия. Фундамент церкви был заложен сэром Питером Киллигрю 29 августа 1662 года. Примерно через 18 месяцев, 21 февраля 1664 года, Джон Бедфорд, ректор Герранса в Розленде, произнес первую проповедь в церкви, и 22 августа 1665 года она была освящена. Сын Джона Бедфорда, Фрэнсис Бедфорд, затем был назначен первым ректором Сетом Уордом, епископом Эксетера. Церковь была посвящена королю Карлу Мученику, титулу короля Карла I в память о его казни 30 января 1649 года после Гражданской войны в Англии. С момента освящения церковь претерпела множество изменений. Первоначально предполагалось, что здание имело площадь около 66 квадратных футов. В 1684 году Уолтер Куарме, третий настоятель, сделал первые пристройки к церкви. Алтарь был построен в восточной части, и была построена самая низкая часть башни. В 1686 году на средства сэра Питера Киллигрю в западной части была построена галерея. Галерея над северным проходом была добавлена в 1699 году, а в 1702 году была построена галерея над южным проходом. Также в 1702 году в Вест-Энде был установлен первый орган, построенный Джоном Расселом из Лондона. В 1738 году башню подняли, в это время купили 12-пудовый колокол. Примечания
Church of Our Lady & St Alphege, Bath

The Church of Our Lady & St Alphege is a Roman Catholic church located in the Oldfield Park suburb of Bath, Somerset. The church was built between 1927 and 1929 to the designs of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect of Liverpool Cathedral. The church is modelled on the Early Christian basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, Rome. It is a Grade II* listed building. The exterior is Romanesque, of Bath Stone rubble. A three-arched loggia with Byzantine columns and capitals surrounds it. The red roof tiles were imported from Lombardy. The full-height campanile intended by Scott was not built, due to fears over the strength of the foundations. The interior columns have capitals with figurative carvings by William Drinkwater Gough. Those on the columns on the north side depict scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary, those on the columns on the south, scenes from the life of St Alphege and those supporting the choir and organ loft on the west end show persons associated with the church, including Scott himself. Scott wrote of the church, "It has always been one of my favourite works." Relatively unknown since its construction, the church was overlooked by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner in his 1958 North Somerset and Bristol edition of The Buildings of England. Its importance as an "accomplished composition by (a) nationally-renowned architect" was recognised in 2010 when its listed building status was upgraded to Grade II*. Michael Forsyth in the Pevsner Architectural Guide to Bath describes it as a building that "cannot fail to astonish and delight." Notes References Forsyth, Michael (2007).

Church of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas (Liverpool)

Die anglikanische Pfarrkirche der Church of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas in der englischen Hafenstadt Liverpool trägt die Patrozinien von Maria, der Mutter Jesu, und des hl. Nikolaus, des Schutzpatrons der Seeleute. Der Kirchenbau ist als Grade-II-Bauwerk eingestuft und gehört zum Major Churches Network. Lage Die Kirche liegt an der Mündung des River Mersey in die Irische See in einer Höhe von etwa 10 m nahe beim Hafen der annähernd 500.000 Einwohner zählenden Großstadt. Sie ist umgeben von neueren Büro- und Geschäftshochhäusern der ehemals bedeutenden Hafenstadt. Geschichte Es gibt Indizien dafür, dass an gleicher Stelle bereits um die Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts eine Kapelle mit Namen St Mary del Quay gestanden hat, die in späterer Zeit oft ergänzt und verändert wurde – so wurde im Jahr 1746, als die Stadt etwa 10.000 Einwohner zählte, ein Glockenturm angebaut. Dieser stürzte im Jahr 1810 während eines Gottesdienstes teilweise in sich zusammen und verletzte 25 Personen tödlich. Während eines deutschen Luftangriffs am 21. Dezember 1940 erlitt die Kirche schwere Schäden; der Bau einer neuen und größeren Kirche erfolgte erst in den Jahren 1949–1952. Architektur Markantester Bauteil der heutigen Kirche ist der etwa 50 m hohe Glockenturm mit seiner durchbrochenen neogotischen Laterne. Das etwa 45 m lange Innere der Kirche ist dreischiffig und basilikal angelegt; alle Decken sind aus Holz. Der flach schließende Chorbereich ist durch Stufen leicht erhöht.

St Leonard's Church, Bengeo

The Church of Saint Leonard is a Norman church in Bengeo, Hertfordshire, England. Located on the hillside overlooking the shared Beane and Lea valley, the Grade I Listed church dates from about 1120, and is the oldest building in Hertford. History The building served as the parish church of Bengeo until the larger Holy Trinity Church was opened in 1855, after which St Leonard's was stripped of its fittings and stood empty and unused for some years. The Gosselin family of nearby Bengeo Hall commissioned John Thomas Micklethwaite to restore and refit the church between 1884 and 1894. In the 13th century, against the north-east end of the chancel, was an anchorite's cell which consisted of a wooden hut. Of eight feet by six feet, there was a recess in the wall for the anchorite’s bed and seat, and an access to the church. Architecture The church is built of flint with stone dressings and has a tiled roof. The wooden west bellcote dates from the 19th-century restoration. The bellcote houses a single bell, dated 1636. The south doorway dates from the 12th century, with the addition of a Georgian brick porch. The south door itself dates from the 14th century.

The roof dates from the 19th-century restoration. Interior The nave is coated with plaster with an open collar-beam roof. Remains of medieval wall paintings were uncovered during restoration work in 1938 by William Weir.
