St Marie's Church, Rugby

St Marie's Church is the main Roman Catholic church in Rugby, Warwickshire, England, located to the south of the town centre on Dunchurch Road, one of the main roads into the town. It is one of the town's most well-known landmarks as it is quite dominant on the skyline. History The church came about because Captain Washington Hibbert of Bilton Grange, married Julia Tichborne, a Catholic woman in 1839. As there was no provision for Catholics in Rugby, Hibbert bought a plot of land off Dunchurch Road and commissioned Augustus Pugin to design a church. It was first opened in 1847, designed in the Gothic revival style. It was enlarged in 1864 by Pugin's son Edward Welby Pugin, and in 1872 the current tall and slender spire was added, designed by Bernard Whelan, which is nearly 200 feet (61 metres) tall. The church has been Grade II* listed since 1949. Today The church is part of the Rugby Deanery in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham. References External links Official website
Trinity Hospital, Greenwich

Trinity Hospital, is a group of almshouses between Greenwich Power Station and the Old Royal Naval College on the south bank of the River Thames at Greenwich, London, England. It was originally built in 1613–14 by Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, on the site of Lumley House (childhood home of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester). Howard set up his charity in 1613 for 12 'poor men' of Greenwich and eight from his birthplace in Norfolk, hence the name Norfolk College by which the almshouses were also known (it is, for example, shown as Norfolk College, on William Faden's Fourth Edition of Horwood's Plan, 1819). It was one of three Trinity almshouses founded in the last year of Howard's life, the others being in Clun, Shropshire and Shotesham, Norfolk. It was rebuilt in 1812 in Gothic style. It is a Grade II* listed building. References
St Michael and All Angels, Blackheath

St Michael and All Angels, Blackheath is an Anglican parish church in Blackheath, London. The church is a part of the Diocese of Southwark. This Grade II* listed building was designed by the architect George Smith. History St Michael and All Angels is located in the Cator Estate in Blackheath. The estate was purchased by John Cator in 1783. The area purchased included the Wricklemarsh mansion along with its 250-acre estate, previously owned by Sir Gregory Page. Following Cator's death in 1806, the estate was inherited by his nephew John Barwell Cator (1791–1850). As there was no church close to the residents of the estate, Cator provided a portion of land and £4,000 towards the construction of the church. The foundations were laid on 20 December 1828 and the building was completed in February 1830. The architect was George Smith and the builder was William Moore, a local bricklayer and carpenter. The chapel was consecrated as the parish church of St Michael and All Angels in 1874. Until then, the church had been called either Trinity or St Peter’s Chapel or simply ‘Mr Cator’s chapel'. During the Second World War, when Frank Colquhoun was vicar, the church was heavily affected by air raids. Architecture The church was designed in a Gothic style unusual for the 1830s. The building has a distinctive, tall 172 ft (52 m) high spire, which is known as "the Needle of Kent". The steeple is placed unusually at the east end of the building. The location is thought to have been intended to attract attention as seen from the crossroads of the estate. The building is made of white Gault bricks with Bath stone dressings and roofed with Welsh slate. Ian Nairn describes it as "far more individual than the usual run", and "more than a studious crib from a pattern book", and notes "the highly successful Eastern Tower". The stone pulpit was erected in 1920 as a World War I memorial. References External links Media related to St Michael and All Angels Church, Blackheath Park at Wikimedia Commons
St Nicholas Church, Plumstead

St Nicholas Church, Plumstead is an ancient parish church in Plumstead, Royal Borough of Greenwich, London. The first church on the site dated to the 10th century, around the time of the first mention of Plumstead in written records c. 960. The earliest surviving part is the current south aisle (originally the nave), whose west wall was built in the 12th century and whose south wall is 13th century. The current nave is a former north aisle added in the 15th century. The tower dates to 1664. Charles Henry Cooke (better known for designing over 200 lifeboat stations for the RNLI) restored the building in 1867–1868, and a north extension was added by Greenaway and Newberry in 1907–1908. It was badly damaged by doodlebugs in 1944–1945, and T.F. Ford & Partners repaired it in 1959. In the meantime it was Grade II* listed on 26 March 1954. References
All Saints Church, Segenhoe

All Saints Church, Segenhoe is a ruined medieval church located near the village of Ridgmont, Bedfordshire. It contains architectural details that range from the 11th century when it was first built to the 19th century. The church was abandoned in 1855 when a larger church was built in Ridgmont. The cemetery continues to be used for burials. The church is managed by Central Bedfordshire Council. All Saints Church is designated a scheduled Ancient Monument. Description All Saints Church, Segenhoe, also known as Old All Saints Church, can be found southeast of the village of Ridgmont in Bedfordshire, England. Built in the 11th century, the oldest parts of the building are made of brown cobblestone. The layout of the church consists of a chancel, nave, north aisle, and west tower. The chancel has most of its original foundation; its east wall was repaired in brick in the 18th century. The nave has a north aisle built primarily in the 14th century. The tower was probably built in the 13th century and was repaired with brick in the 18th century. Other repairs to the building were most likely done in the 18th century. The north aisle of the church has two large arched windows. In between the windows and to the north is the remodeled brick porch which dates to 1819. On the north wall of the chancel, are two small single lancet windows with a decorative lintel that date to the late Anglo-Saxon era. The south side of the chancel has blocked windows and a priest’s door. The west tower originally included a timber bell-cote. In 1826, the top part of the present tower was added to the tower. The remains of stone rood stairs are located near the east wall of the north aisle. The stairs originally led up to the rood loft which was situated above a wooden rood screen, which divided the nave from the chancel. History The church was most likely built after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Domesday Book in 1086 records that Walter, Brother of Sihere held land in Segenhoe, but no church building is mentioned. Segenhoe first appears in the written record in 1189 when the advowson was granted to Dunstable Priory. The historic manor of Segenhoe which dates from 18th century is still in existence to the east of the church along with the 19th century buildings of Manor Farm. As the current village of nearby Ridgmont expanded, the importance of Segenhoe declined. A new, larger church was built in Ridgmont in 1855, and the old church was turned into a mortuary chapel. The church later fell into disrepair and was abandoned. As the new church in Rigmont has no graveyard, the old graveyard at Segenhoe continues to be used in the community. The building is designated a scheduled Ancient Monument. The church is managed by the Central Bedfordshire Council. References
Woolwich Town Hall

L'Hôtel de Ville de Woolwich est un édifice du début du XXe siècle, situé dans le quartier historique de Bathway au centre de Woolwich, au Sud-Est de Londres. Jusqu'en 1965, il fut le siège du gouvernement local de l'Arrondissement urbain de Woolwich, après quoi il est devenu le principal siège du London Borough de Greenwich (actuel Royal Borough de Greenwich). Le bâtiment est un Monument classé de Grade II* et un des rares exemples d'hôtel de ville de style Baroque Edouardien à Londres. L'hôtel de Ville est également le bureau du greffe du Borough. Histoire Il a été construit en 1903-05 pour remplacer l'ancien hôtel de ville, datant de 1842, devenu trop petit. En 1889, la paroisse de Woolwich est devenue une portion du nouvellement formé Comté de Londres. En 1900, le Metropolitan Borough de Woolwich a été formé à partir des paroisses de Woolwich, Plumstead et Eltham. Cela a entraîné la construction d'un hôtel de ville plus vaste et plus représentatif. Le nouvel hôtel de ville a été construit à partir de 1903 non loin de l'ancien, qui a survécu jusqu'à aujourd'hui. De nouveaux bâtiments pour le Comté et la Cour des Magistrats, ainsi qu'un nouveau poste de police et la bibliothèque existante, ont formé un petit quartier administratif. L'ouverture officielle de l'hôtel de ville en janvier 1906 a eu lieu sans présence royale. En 1929-30 une petite annexe a été ajoutée dans Polytechnic Street. Le Metropolitan Borough de Woolwich a été aboli en 1965 et en grande partie fusionné avec Greenwich (une petite section au nord de la Tamise, est allé au London Borough of Newham). L'Hôtel de ville de Woolwich est devenu le siège du gouvernement local du nouveau London Borough de Greenwich, (devenu depuis 2012, le Royal Borough de Greenwich).

Tudor Barn, Eltham

The Tudor Barn is a large brick barn in Eltham in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It was built in 1525 by William Roper. The Ropers lived next door in a manor house in the centre of a moat for several years. William married Margaret More, the daughter of Thomas More, and one of the most learned women of sixteenth-century England. It is a Grade II* listed building (as Well Hall Art Gallery). The west end of the Tudor Barn was mostly occupied by servants, as can be seen by the two huge chimneys there. However, the barn was also used for storage. It can be seen on old maps that the moat was directly connected to the Tudor Barn by a bridge. Edith Nesbit, author of The Railway Children and co-founder of the Fabian Society, lived in a house in the grounds of the Tudor Barn from 1899 to 1921. The Tudor Barn was refurbished in the 1930s. The Woolwich Borough Council then decided that they would use the newly renovated barn as the centrepiece of a new park, which is known as Well Hall Pleasaunce. The park opened in 1933, and three years later an art gallery was opened on the ground floor of the barn. This was not the council's original intention, however; they wanted a library and museum in the Tudor Barn, but these never materialised. For years after the Second World War, the barn contained the art gallery, a restaurant and a room for weddings and events in the upstairs space. The barn is currently run as a gastropub and events venue. Architecture The barn is a two-storey building constructed of red brick, with a tiled roof. According to the Historic England listing for Well Hall Pleasaunce, sixteenth-century angle turrets survive at the west gable, while those at the east were restored around 1980. The south elevation has thirteen relieving arches and eleven windows, four of which remain in their original surrounds. At the west end of the building is a large offset chimney stack.

St Luke's Church, Charlton

St Luke's Church in Charlton, London, England, is an Anglican parish church in the Diocese of Southwark. Records suggest that a church dedicated to St Luke existed on the site around 1077. It was rebuilt in 1630 with funds provided by Sir Adam Newton, of Charlton House. The coat of arms of one of Newton's executors, the Scottish courtier David Cunningham of Auchenharvie is displayed on the pulpit. The 1630s work, constructed of Kentish red brick, forms the core of the present building, which is Grade II* listed. It was modified in the 17th century, again in 1840 and finally in 1956. Remnants of chalk and flint walls have been found and may relate to the original building. The church operated under the aegis of Bermondsey Abbey until the Dissolution of the Monasteries; thereafter, in 1607, the lands upon which it stood passed to Newton. It now practises the Modern Catholic tradition. Marriages of notable people at St Luke's include that of Anne Shovell, granddaughter of Sir Cloudesley Shovell, to John Blackwood on 28 July 1726. Burials Among the people buried at the church are two whose deaths were political assassinations. One of those is the British Prime Minister Spencer Perceval, and the other Edward Drummond, a personal secretary to several British Prime Ministers whose murder led to the establishment of the legal test for insanity known as the M'Naghten rules in assessment of criminal culpability. The church's patron, Sir Adam Newton (former tutor to the Prince of Wales) and his wife Katharine, are buried in the church, as are a number of other royal servants: Edward Wilkinson (d.1567), master-cook to Queen Elizabeth; Brigadier Michael Richards (d.1721), Surveyor-General of the Ordnance to King George I; and John Griffith (d.1713), brigadier of the second troop of Guards, under Queen Anne. Sir William Congreve, 1st Baronet, founder and Superintendent of the Royal Military Repository at Woolwich, is buried in the churchyard. White Ensign The church is entitled to fly the ensign that was in use prior to the 1800 Acts of Union. It can do so on the saint's days of St Luke and St George, in recognition of its past role as a navigational landmark for ships on the Thames.

St Nicholas Church, Deptford

For the ancient and civil parish centred on this church, see Deptford St Nicholas. St Nicholas Church was the original parish church for the settlement of Deptford in south-east London. Its cemetery includes the unmarked graves of Christopher Marlowe and three sons of John Evelyn. First built in the 13th century, the current brick structure dates to 1697, the same date as the oak reredos, organ case by Bernard Smith, a wood relief carving of the Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones (originally above the entrance to the charnel house) and oak royal coat of arms above the chancel arch were all installed. Surviving interior monuments include that of Roger, son of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork. Structural repairs were made in 1716. Around 1791 a painted glass oval was added to the reredos, and in 1875 the church's interior decoration was renewed. Around 1910 a stair tower and eastern extension were added and the upper parts of the wall rebuilt. It was badly damaged in October 1940 during the Blitz, and from 1955 to 1958 extensive restoration was carried out, the nave's east bay and the chancel converted to parish rooms and the reredos moved to its current position. It was Grade II* listed in 1951. References
St Mary of Eton

St. Mary of Eton is an Anglican church on Eastway in Hackney Wick, London, and a Grade II* listed building. It was built 1890–92 in the medieval Gothic style to serve the Eton Mission, a mission to the East End organised and funded by Eton College. History In the late 19th century, Eton College launched a scheme to provide social and religious support to people living in the crowded district of Hackney Wick in east London, and to familiarise privileged schoolboys with social conditions in deprived areas. The project of establishing an "Eton Mission" was started in 1880. St Mary of Eton Church was built 1890-02 as the centrepiece of the mission. Following wartime bomb damage, the Church of St Augustine in nearby Victoria Park was closed in 1953 and its congregation merged with St Mary’s to form St Mary of Eton with St Augustine. St Mary of Eton is notable as the founding location of the Church of England youth club the 59 Club. Architecture St Mary of Eton was built 1890-02 by the Victorian architects George Frederick Bodley and Thomas Garner. It is built in red brick with stone dressings. The east side of the church faces onto the main street, and a gateway leads into the courtyard which is surrounded by the old Eton Mission buildings. Eton House was built in 1898 to house the clergy, and in 1911-12, two bays were added in by Cecil Greenwood Hare on the west side of the church. The tower was added in 1912. The interior is noted for its tall, spacious nave, bisected by a painted rood screen by Bodley. At the east end, the high altar is backed by an ornately decorated reredos designed in 1930 by W Ellery Anderson. During World War II, a bomb struck the Eton Mission in 1944, and it was badly damaged. Interior alterations were carried out in 1958 and a new organ by Grant, Degens and Rippin was installed in 1960. In 2013/14, the church carried out a major refurbishment project. The church was re-ordered and restored. Some of the old Eton Mission buildings around the courtyard were redeveloped as residential flats and some buildings were demolished. New apartment blocked constructed next to the church were built with diaper-patterned brickwork to harmonise with Bodley's original church. The development was awarded a RIBA National Award in 2015 for its sensitive design.

The Old Church (Stoke Newington)

The Old Church is an arts venue in Stoke Newington, London Borough of Hackney, formerly the medieval and Tudor church of St Mary's Church or (after the construction of the current parish church in 1858) St Mary's Old Church. It is a Grade II* listed building. History A church on the site is first recorded in 1314, when a rector was appointed to it - it was then a peculiar of St Paul's Cathedral's dean and chapter, with patronage passing to the crown (1404-1414), back to the dean and chapter (1414-1580), the cathedral's prebendary of Stoke Newington (1585-1830) and finally to the Bishop of London. It was recorded as containing a chapel of St Thomas and a rood screen in 1500. The earliest mention of its dedication to St Mary dates to 1522, whilst the list of rectors survives continuously from 1562 onwards. Most of the building was completed in 1563, funded by Sir William Patten, lord of the manor of Stoke Newington, encasing the medieval south porch and nave with a completely new chancel, side chapel, aisle, vestry and schoolhouse, all in brick. There are tomb monuments within the building to Patten's successor as lord of the manor John Dudley, Thomas Sutton and the Hartropp family (including descendents of Charles Fleetwood), whilst the cemetery contains the graves of James Stephen, Anna Barbauld and the sister and daughter of William Wilberforce. A strongly Parliamentarian parish, it accepted Alexander Popham's presentation of Thomas Manton as rector in 1644 and had its own vestry elect Daniel Bull as his successor in 1656. He preached there throughout the last years of the Protectorate and the early years of the Restoration, until he was forced from his parish by the Great Ejection of 1662. Bull's successor Sidrach Simpson (also master of Pembroke College, Cambridge) resided in the parish but was criticised for renting pews to those outside the parish, failing to carry out repairs to the chancel and expanding his pews into the main body of the church. 1716-1717 saw the addition of a north aisle, followed by an extension to the chancel in 1723, new west windows and a raising of the south walls in 1728, further repairs and a new clock bell in 1770 and a raising of the west end to the same height as the rest of the church in 1785. whilst 18th century curates to the parish included Augustus Clissold. The church's replacement was considered but rejected in 1791, with further restorations in 1806 and 1829, the latter by Charles Barry. 16th-century windows were donated by Jonathan Eade in 1811 and destroyed in bombing in October 1940. The building's tower bells were cast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry between 1828 and 1864. Struggles between low church and Tractarian factions in the parish in the 19th century culminated in the construction of the new St Mary's Church, opened in 1858. The spire was replaced in both 1829 and 1928. The building was repaired within two months of damage in the London Blitz in October 1940, with further extensive repairs and the addition of a new vestry by Charles Marriott Oldrid Scott completed by 1953, and another remodelling in 2013.

Kościół św. Marii w Londynie

Stary kościół św. Marii – mały dawny kościół parafialny, znajdujący się w Stoke Newington, w Londynie; jedyny zachowany kościół z okresu elżbietańskiego w tej części Londynu i jeden z niewielu w Anglii oraz jeden z najwcześniejszych kościołów anglikańskich, który nigdy nie był kościołem katolickim. Historia Miejsce było kultem chrześcijańskim już w XI wieku. Pierwsze zapiski o świątyni w tym miejscu pochodzą z roku 1314, kiedy to powstała kaplica poświęcona św. Tomaszowi Becketowi. Istniała do XV wieku. W 1563 roku, Sir William Patten, pan Manor ufundował, w miejsce kaplicy, kamienno-murowany kościół, na skraju Clissold Park, przy Church Street. Przebudowano prezbiterium, dodano ołtarz, zakrystię we wschodniej części kaplicy. Nad XVI wiecznymi drzwiami umieszczono w XVII wieku napis "1563 Ab alto". W latach 1716–1717 dodano północną nawę, a w 1723 powiększono prezbiterium. W 1728 roku powiększono okna na zachodniej ścianie, a ściana południowa została podniesiona i okryta tynkiem. W 1806 roku kościół został odrestaurowany i pokryty (z wyjątkiem północnej ściany) tynkiem cementowym imitującym kamień. Na początku XIX wieku region Stoke Newington podupadł. W 1849 roku, z południowej części parafii św. Marii, powstała nowa parafia św. Macieja. W 1853 roku zakończono budowę nowego kościoła pod tym samym wezwaniem. Kolejne podziały parafii miały miejsce w 1876 roku. W latach 1827–1829 kościół św. Macieja również doczekał się renowacji. Świątynia wyposażona została w wiktoriańskie ławki i iglicę umieszczoną na kwadratowej wieży zaprojektowanej przez architekta Sir Charlesa Barry'ego. W XIX wieku w kościele swoje kazania wygłaszał ks. Thomas Jackson. Jego wystąpienia gromadziły wielkie rzesze słuchaczy. Wierni nie mogli pomieścić się w małym kościółku. Z tego powodu w północnej części należącej do kościoła postanowiono wybudować nową świątynię pod tym samym wezwaniem. W czasie II wojny światowej, kościół uległ zniszczeniu, głównie południowa część świątyni. Po wojnie został odrestaurowany. Obecnie odbywają się w nim okolicznościowe liturgie oraz koncerty muzyczne, m.in. Festiwal Muzyki Dawnej. Galeria obrazów Przypisy
