All Saints Church, Tudeley

All Saints Church in Tudeley, Kent, England, is the only church in the world that has all its windows in stained glass designed by Marc Chagall. History A place of worship has existed in Tudeley since the seventh century, then one of only four in the Weald. The sandstone footings of the nave and tower may date from before the Norman conquest of 1066, and the church is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 under the village's alternative name of Tivedale. In 1293 the church was given to Tonbridge Priory. The majority of the existing structure was created in the later medieval period, during the 13th and 14th centuries. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1526, it came under the control of Christ Church, Oxford, and then in 1529 became controlled by the Crown, before returning to private hands in 1548. Today it is part of the Diocese of Rochester. Restoration The structure was extensively restored and renovated from the late 18th century, rebuilt in red Flemish bond brick at a cost of £1,125. Much of the earlier stone shell of the chancel survived, as well as the lower walls of the nave and west tower. Three bells were also cast at this time and hung in the tower, and the roof topped with blue slate. The extant brick tower was constructed in 1765 and in 1798 the church was described as being rebuilt. In 1871–1875 Robert Medley Fulford rebuilt the nave and added the north aisle in Bath stone, and in 1885 the chancel arch was constructed and the 1571 Fane monument restored. The monument is to George Fane (1512–1572) Sheriff of Kent in 1557–1558, son of Richard Fane by his wife Agnes Stidulf, the daughter and heiress of Henry Stidulf of Badsell, the son of Thomas Stidulf and his wife Marion Badsell, whose monumental brass is in the chancel. Windows On 19 September 1963, Sarah the daughter of Sir Henry and Lady D'Avigdor-Goldsmid who owned nearby Somerhill House, was drowned in a sailing accident off Rye, East Sussex. In her memory, the couple commissioned the Belarusian-French artist Marc Chagall to design a stained glass window for the church; it was installed in 1967. When Chagall arrived for the dedication of the east window in 1967, and saw the church for the first time, he exclaimed "C'est magnifique! Je les ferai tous!" ("It's magnificent! I will do them all!") Over the next ten years Chagall designed the remaining eleven windows in watercolour; these were again made in collaboration with the glassworker Charles Marq in his workshop at Reims in northern France. The windows were all installed by 1985 and in the following order: the Memorial Window in the altar wall, the five north windows (nos 1 to 5) and the two south windows (nos 11 and 12) dedicated in 1974. Installing the four chancel windows (nos. 6, 7, 9, 10) meant removing the Victorian memorial glass and so was controversial, but in 1985 these last Chagall windows were dedicated and installed, their predecessors being moved to the vestry at the back of the church, just before Chagall's death.

Церковь Всех Святых (Тадфилд)

Церковь Всех Святых в Тадфилде (графство Кент, Англия) — единственная в мире церковь, все витражи которой были спроектированы художником Марком Шагалом. История Место поклонения в Тадфилде существует с VII века. Основания нефа и башни из песчаника, возможно, датируются периодом до нормандского завоевания. Церковь упоминается в «Книге Страшного суда» 1086 года под альтернативным названием деревни — Тиведейл. В 1293 году церковь была передана Приорату Тонбриджа. Большая часть существующего строения относится к позднему средневековью — XIII—XIV векам. После секуляризации в 1526 году она перешла под управление Христовой церкви (Крайст-черч) в Оксфорде, а в 1529 году — под контроль Короны, прежде чем в 1548 году снова оказалась в частных руках. Сегодня церковь относится к Рочестерской епархии. Реставрация В конце XVIII века здание было капитально отреставрировано и перестроено из красного кирпича во фламандской кладке стоимостью 1125 фунтов стерлингов. Сохранилась большая часть каменной оболочки алтаря, а также нижние стены нефа и западной башни. В это же время были отлиты и установлены три колокола, а крыша покрыта синим шифером. Существующая кирпичная башня была построена в 1765 году, а в 1798 году церковь описывалась как перестроенная. В 1871—1875 годах Роберт Фулфорд перестроил неф и добавил северный придел из батского камня, а в 1885 году был сооружён алтарный проём и восстановлен памятник Фейну 1571 года. Памятник посвящён Джорджу Фейну (1512—1572), шерифу Кента в 1557—1558 годах. Витражи 19 сентября 1963 года Сара, дочь сэра Генри и леди Д’Авигдор-Голдсмид, владевших поместьем Сомерхилл-Хаус, утонула в результате несчастного случая во время плавания. В память о ней супруги заказали у белорусско-французского художника Марка Шагала проект витража для церкви; витраж был установлен в 1967 году. Когда Шагал прибыл на освящение восточного окна в 1967 году и впервые увидел церковь, он воскликнул: «C’est magnifique! Je les ferai tous!» («Это великолепно! Я сделаю их все!») В течение следующих десяти лет Шагал спроектировал остальные одиннадцать окон акварелью. Витражи были изготовлены в сотрудничестве со стекольщиком Шарлем Марком в его мастерской в Реймсе (северная Франция) и установлены к 1985 году в следующем порядке: сначала мемориальное окно на алтарной стене, затем пять северных окон (№ 1-5) и два южных (№ 11 и 12), освящённых в 1974 году. Установка четырёх окон алтарной части (№ 6, 7, 9, 10) потребовала удаления викторианских мемориальных стёкол, что вызвало споры, однако в 1985 году эти последние витражи Шагала были освящены и установлены, а их предшественники перенесены в ризницу в задней части церкви незадолго до смерти художника.

Another stained glass window on the north side of the church by the organ, made by Caroline Townshend and Joan Howson, was given to the church in 1932 by Frances Dove, the first headmistress of Wycombe Abbey.
