Église Saint-Jacques de Handsworth

L'église Saint-Jacques (anglais : St James' Church) est une église paroissiale à Handsworth (Birmingham). Elle est érigée en 1838-1840 (Handworth était à cette époque dans le comté de Staffordshire) sur un terrain donné par John Crockett du New Inns Hotel avoisinant. L'architecte était Robert Ebbles, de Wolverhampton, qui était spécialisé dans les églises de style néogothique. Un nouveau chœur fut ajouté en 1878 et le bâtiment fut reconstruit en 1895 par Julius Alfred Chatwin. Le chœur originel devint ainsi la chapelle nord, la nef devint l'aile nord et la tour ouest fut redésignée comme la tour nord-ouest. Les agrandissements furent une nouvelle chapelle, une nef et une aile sud. Le style décoratif de Chatwin (avec des briques rouges) contraste avec l'édifice en pierres original. La paroisse de l'église fut créée en 1854 hors de celle de Sainte-Mary. Des parts furent cédées aux paroisses de Saint-Peter en 1907 et de Saint-Andrew en 1914. Le compositeur notable Theodore Stephen Tearne (en) (né en 1860) fut organiste à l'église Saint-Jacques de 1904 à 1908, juste avant son émigration en Australie. L'ancien registre des baptêmes, mariages et enterrements est conservé aux archives de la bibliothèque de Birmingham. En mai 2014, le vicaire est le révérend David Isiorho, un ancien assistant social et membre du conseil éditorial du journal Black Theology. Le culte est mené dans la tradition de la « Haute Église » anglicane. L'église est située à l'angle de la rue Saint-James, à laquelle elle a donné son nom, et de la rue Crocketts. Elle est rattachée au diocèse anglican de Birmingham.

Fishergate Baptist Church

Fishergate Baptist Church in Fishergate, Preston, Lancashire, England was an active Baptist church for more than 150 years, but is now redundant. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. Since 2018 it has housed a French-themed bistro. History The church was built in 1857–58 to a design by James Hibbert and Nathan Rainford. It was for many years an active church, but has been redundant since 2011, when it was advertised for sale, at a price of £500,000. The Reverend Phil Jump said the church basement had housed a number of volunteer groups which would be impacted by its closure. These included groups which supported the homeless in Preston. The church was later altered, by David Cox Architects Ltd of Preston, in a scheme shortlisted for an International Restaurant Design Award. In August 2018 it saw the opening of French-gastro chain Bistro Pierre, making it one of the largest restaurants in the city. Architecture Exterior Fishergate Baptist Church is built in sandstone with slate roofs, and is in Italian Romanesque style. It has a rectangular plan, is in two storeys with a basement, and has a symmetrical entrance front facing the street. Eight steps lead up to a double doorway, each door having an arch in Mozarabic style, and both contained in a round-headed arch. Flanking the doorway are two round-arched windows on each side. The doorways and windows have pilasters with carved imposts, and above them is a cornice. The upper part of the entrance front contains corner pilasters and a pediment, the pediment containing a large wheel window and two smaller ones, all with hood moulds. The rear of the church is gabled; the gable also contains a large wheel window, and two two-light mullioned windows. Along the sides of the church are gabled projections, each containing a pair of windows. At the southeast corner of the church is a tower. In the ground floor of the tower is a round-arched doorway, in the first stage is a single lancet window, and in the second stage are pairs of lancets; all of these are in Mozarabic style. On each side of the third stage there is a clock face with a pair of oculi above, all with hood moulds. Over these is a cornice with carvings of birds projecting from the corners, and a tall pyramidal roof. Interior Steeply pointed arcades inside the church are carried on square piers. Doors at the far end of the building are flanked by foliated shafts, and a gallery with cast iron balusters. The church also contains monuments to members of the Sellrers family, dating from the late 19th century. The two-manual pipe organ was made by Henry Ainscough of Preston in 1870, and repaired by the same company in 1954; its case is decorated with putti. Appraisal The church was designated a Grade II listed building on 29 January 1986, the lowest of its three grades of listing that is applied to buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest". Hartwell and Pevsner in the Buildings of England series comment that the tower is "rather starved". See also Listed buildings in Preston, Lancashire References
Museums Association

The Museums Association (MA) is a professional membership organisation based in London for museum, gallery and heritage professionals and organisations of the United Kingdom. It also offers international membership. History The association was started in 1889 by a small group of museums to protect the interests of museums and galleries. Its inaugural meeting was held at the invitation of the Council of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society in York on 20 June 1889. The MA is the oldest museum association in the world. Function The MA advocates for museums, sets ethical standards and runs training and professional development for members wishing to further their careers. Activities The association organises an annual conference. This is Europe's largest event for museum and heritage professionals. Members receive the monthly Museums Journal. The MA also produces Museum Practice online. The latest case studies and best practice by museum professionals around the UK, with an interactive platform for users to share their ideas. Through its work with the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, the MA has created the Esmee Fairbairn Collections Fund, building on its 2005 report, Collections for the Future. The MA charts the health of UK museums through its annual survey, Museums in the UK. In 2018, the MA launched Collections 2030, a research project looking at the long-term purpose, use and management of museum collections. Membership The MA has over 8,000 individual members, 580 institutional members, and 250 corporate members. It runs a professional development scheme, with mentoring and regular training events. "AMA" denotes an Associate of the Museums Association. "FMA" denotes a Fellow of the Museums Association. Governance The association is independently funded by its membership, and it is governed by a board of trustees, from all parts of the UK museum community, elected by members. In April 2018, Maggie Appleton replaced David Fleming as president; she is also the CEO of the RAF Museum. Previous presidents include David Anderson, Stuart Davies, David Fleming, William Henry Flower, Jane Glaister, Max Hebditch, Charles Saumarez Smith, Virginia Tandy, and Barbara Woroncow.
