St John the Evangelist's Church, Cambridge

St John the Evangelist's Church is a Church of England parish church located on the junction of Hills Road and Blinco Grove in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. In 2023, the vicar was the Revd James Shakespeare, who had served as curate at this church some years before. History The church was founded in 1892 as a daughter church of St Andrew's Church, Cherry Hinton, to serve the developing residential area between Hills Road and Cherry Hinton Road. At first services were held in the chapel of Homerton College. The work to raise funds for a building was undertaken by a committee whose members were drawn from the local community and the University of Cambridge, under the chair of the Master of Peterhouse. In 1893 a retired clergyman, the Reverend John George, offered to serve as curate-in-change on a voluntary basis. He played a significant role in the project to build the new church and he and his wife donated the pulpit to mark their silver wedding anniversary. The first stage of the church building was made usable by the end of 1897 and John George became the first vicar that year, serving until 1903. The west end of the church was completed in 1929 during the priesthood of Reverend Patterson Morgan (1927–1938). The choir and clergy vestries were built in 1909. A parish room was built on the south side of the church in 1982 (Canon Frederick Wilkinson, 1975–1988), and extended to form the community rooms and new entrance area in 1995 (Canon Brian Jones, 1989–1997). Vicars Rev John George (1897-1903) Reverend Love (1903–1914) Reverend Jackson (1914–1927) Reverend Patterson Morgan (1927–1938) Reverend Robert Jary (1938–1947) Reverend John Needham (1947–1955) Canon Frederick Stanbury (1956–1974) Canon Frederick Wilkinson (1975–1988) Canon Brian Jones (1989–1997) Canon David Reindorp (1997–2006) Canon Susan Wyatt (2006–2016) Revd James Shakespeare (2017–present) Notable people Stephen Sykes, formerly Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge and subsequently Bishop of Ely, served as curate at St John's from 1985 to 1990. The Reverend Angela Tilby served as honorary priest from 1997–2006 until her appointment as vicar of St Benet's Church. She is well known for her work for BBC Radio Four, particularly as a regular contributor to Thought for the Day and the Morning Service.

Kościół św. Jana Ewangelisty w Leeds

Kościół św. Jana Ewangelisty w Leeds (ang. St John the Evangelist's Church, Leeds) – anglikański kościół parafialny zlokalizowany w centrum angielskiego Leeds, przy ulicy New Briggate. Jest to najstarsza świątynia w centrum miasta, stanowi zabytek klasy I. Historia Obiekt został ufundowany przez zamożnego handlarza wełną, rojalistę i dobroczyńcę, Johna Harrisona i wybudowany w latach 1632-1634. Był to jeden z nielicznych kościołów wzniesionych w Anglii w okresie panowania króla Karola I. W połowie XIX wieku parafia zamierzała zburzyć świątynię i wznieść nowy obiekt sakralny. Sprzeciwił się temu młody architekt Norman Shaw, do którego dołączył się sir George Gilbert Scott. Ostatecznie opcja pozostawienia starego kościoła zwyciężyła. Shaw został zatrudniony do renowacji kościoła, którą przeprowadził w latach 1866–1868. Prace obejmowały wymianę zewnętrzną starego ganku i zakrystii, naprawę dachu i kamieniarki, przeróbki maswerków okiennych oraz wyrównanie i ponowne zagospodarowanie cmentarza. Posadowiono nową chrzcielnicę, wymieniono ławki, odnowiono podłogi i ponownie zaaranżowano przestrzeń wewnętrzną. Oddano go wiernym do użytku 2 lutego 1868. Po 1888 prace renowacyjne uzupełniał Temple Moore, który m.in. zainstalował drugi ołtarz z poręczami komunijnymi z kościoła w Kettlewell. Wyposażenie Świątynia charakteryzuje się cennym wyposażeniem z epoki Karola I, zwłaszcza rzeźbioną, drewnianą, parawanową ścianą tęczową. Każda jej część jest bogato dekorowana motywami kwietnymi, w tym tulipanami, sercami, wijącymi się pnączami oraz groteskowymi głowami ludzi i zwierząt. Więcej rzeźb znajduje się na panelach ściennych, ławkach i ambonie. Należą do nich m.in. jaskrawo malowane anioły grające na instrumentach muzycznych. Fundator kościoła, John Harrison został pochowany w pobliżu ołtarza. Seria witraży przedstawia jego dobre uczynki, np. ilustruje apokryficzną opowieść, w której wręczył on uwięzionemu w Leeds królowi Karolowi I, kufel ze złotymi monetami udającymi łyk piwa.

St John the Evangelist's Church, Newton Arlosh

St John the Evangelist's Church is in the village of Newton Arlosh, Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Carlisle, the archdeaconry of Carlisle, and the diocese of Carlisle. It was built as a fortified church, one of a number of such buildings near the Scottish border. It was restored and extended in the 19th century. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. History St John's was built in 1303 by the monks of nearby Holm Cultram Abbey in Abbeytown. It was granted a licence to crenellate on 11 April 1304. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the church remained in ruins until it was restored and extended by Sara Losh in 1844. The extension involved the building of a chancel at right angles to the north of the nave. In 1894 the church was further restored and refurnished. Architecture Exterior The original church was built in large red sandstone blocks mixed with cobbles and the extension is in red sandstone; all the roofs are covered in sandstone slates, other than the lead on the roof of the tower. Its plan consists of a square fortified west tower with very thick walls, and a two-bay fortified nave. Extending to the north is a two-bay chancel with an apsidal vestry on its east wall. There is no external entrance to the tower; it is entered from the interior of the church at the level of the first floor. Its ground level is barrel vaulted. Inside the tower a stone spiral staircase leads to a chamber on the upper floor containing a fireplace. All the windows in the tower are arrow-slits, some of them original and some from the Victorian restoration. The upper part of the tower has been restored; it has a battlemented parapet and, on the south side a projecting turret on corbels. In the south wall of the nave is a narrow doorway and more arrow-slit windows. The chancel has a round-arched doorway and lancet windows; in the vestry are round-headed windows. Standing on the ridge of the nave roof towards its east end is a carved eagle by Sarah Losh. Interior There is further work by Sarah Losh inside the church. On the east wall of the nave, flanking the position of the original altar are corbels in the shape of rams' heads. Also by her is the lectern with a base of bog oak, and another base in the form of a palm tree that was intended to form part of the pulpit. The oldest item of furniture is the font, brought from Holm Cultram Abbey. It dates from the 13th century and consists of an octagonal bowl with crocketed gables on a fragmentary stem.
