St Mary's Church, Putney

The Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Putney, is an Anglican church in Putney, London, sited next to the River Thames, beside the southern approach to Putney Bridge. There has been a centre of Christian worship on the site from at least the 13th century, and the church is still very active today. It is also noteworthy as the site of the Putney Debates on the English constitution in 1647, during the English Civil War. It has been Grade II* listed since 1955. Parts of the existing church have survived from medieval times, such as the 15th-century tower and some of the nave arcading, and the early 16th-century Bishop West Chapel, built by Bishop Nicholas West. Most of the building dates from the substantial reconstruction of 1836 to the designs of Edward Lapidge, which largely rebuilt the body of the church in yellow brick with stone dressings and perpendicular windows. Some of the medieval pillars and arches in the nave were retained, and the north and the south arcades were widened. In 1973 much of the church was gutted by fire. Rebuilding was not completed until nearly ten years later, when the church was rehallowed by Rt. Revd. Michael Marshall the Bishop of Woolwich, on 6 February 1982. Since the restoration, the altar has not been positioned, as is usual, in the chancel or even at the eastern end of the nave, but instead halfway down the northern side of the nave, with the seating arranged to reflect this. The architect of the restoration was Ronald Sims. The pipe organ is by the Danish firm of Marcussen & Søn. Inscribed on a wall of the church is a quote from the Putney debates (1647) by Colonel Thomas Rainsborough: For really I think that the poorest he that is in England hath a life to live, as the greatest he. In 2005 a new extension to the church, the "Brewer Building", built at a cost of £1.7m was opened by the Bishop of Southwark. St. Mary's is one of the two churches in the Parish of Putney, the other being All Saints' Church, Putney Common. The parish is within the Wandsworth Deanery, the Kingston Episcopal Area and the Diocese of Southwark. Notable people associated with St Mary's Nicholas West (1461 – 28 April 1533), bishop and diplomat, was born at Putney, and educated at Eton and at King's College, Cambridge, of which he became a fellow in 1486. He built two chapels, one in St. Mary's and the other in Ely Cathedral, where he is buried. Thomas Cromwell, born in Putney, was Chancellor of the Exchequer between 1533 and 1540 Samuel Pepys mentions St. Mary's in his diary for 1667. He attended a service where he heard 'a good sermon'. He saw the girls of the school, 'few of which were pretty'. Charles Dickens made St. Mary's the setting for David Copperfield's marriage to Dora Spenlow Giles Fraser, Anglican priest and broadcaster, was a former Team Rector of St Mary's 2000-2009, where he campaigned to raise the profile of the Putney Debates References External links Media related to St. Mary's Church, Putney at Wikimedia Commons Official website Map sources for St Mary's Church, Putney

St Mary's Church, Swillington

St Mary's Church is located on Church Lane next to Swillington Primary School, on Wakefield Road, Swillington, West Yorkshire, England. There has been a church at this location for at least 900 years. The Domesday Book of 1086 notes that 'a church is there' but no other records of that building remain. The church on the site today is a Grade II* listed building, over 600 years old, built around 1360. The tower was renovated in 1883–1884 with Harehills Stone, which has now weathered almost black, in stark contrast to the creamy yellow of the rest of the exterior. Thomas Dealtry, rector of Swillington 1872–1878, is credited with having introduced the habit of throwing confetti at weddings, from his observation of rice thrown at Hindu weddings in his previous position as Archdeacon of Madras. His predecessor, the Rev A. F. A. Woodford, rector 1847–1872, was a noted masonic scholar and publisher, and became Grand Chaplain in 1863. He is credited, in 1886, with passing to William Wynn Westcott the Cipher Manuscripts leading to the formation of the Hermetic order of the Golden Dawn. References External links Historic England.

St. Mary’s Lighthouse

p4 St. Mary’s Lighthouse ist ein Leuchtturm an der Küste von Tyne and Wear nördlich von Whitley Bay und südlich von Seaton Sluice. Der Leuchtturm steht auf der Gezeiteninsel St. Mary’s Island, die seit 1929 bei Ebbe über einen niedrigen Damm, der bei Flut überspült wird, vom Curry’s Point aus erreichbar ist. Vor der Errichtung des Damms erfolgte der Zugang über Trittsteine. Der 38 Meter hohe Leuchtturm, der vor allem für aus Norden kommende Schiffe die Mündung des Tyne signalisiert, wurde von Thomas Matthews erbaut und am 31. August 1898 in Betrieb genommen. Der Leuchtturm ersetzte einen älteren Turm, der sich auf dem Gelände der Tynemouth Priory befand und dann abgetragen wurde. Als der Leuchtturm 1977 elektrifiziert wurde, wurde seine ursprüngliche Linse demontiert und ins Leuchtturmmuseum in Penzance gebracht. Er erhielt eine kleinere Linse, die aus dem stillgelegten Withernsea Lighthouse kam. Das St. Mary’s Lighthouse wurde 1982 automatisiert. 1984 wurde der Leuchtturm jedoch von Trinity House stillgelegt. Die ursprüngliche Linse wurde 2011 aus dem dann geschlossenen Leuchtturmmuseum in den Turm zurückgebracht. Heute befindet der Turm sich im Besitz der Gemeinde und ist seit 1994 als Museum für Besucher zugänglich. Der Leuchtturm ist ein Baudenkmal, das von English Heritage als ein Grade-II-Monument geführt wird. Die Insel und die angrenzende Küste sind ein Naturschutzgebiet.

Phare de St Mary's

Le phare de St Mary's Island était un phare situé sur St Mary's Island, une petite île accessible à marée basse de Whitley Bay, dans le comté de Tyne and Wear en Angleterre. Ce phare est géré par le North Tyneside Council. Il est maintenant protégé en tant que monument classé du Royaume-Uni de Grade II. Histoire Le phare et les maisons adjacentes ont été construits en 1898 par la John Miller Company de Tynemouth, en utilisant 645 blocs de pierre et 750.000 briques. Il a été construit sur l'emplacement d'une ancienne chapelle monastique du XIe siècle, dont les moines ont maintenu une lanterne sur la tour pour avertir les navires de passage du danger des roches alentour. Le phare a été construit en 1898 et la lumière fonctionnait à l'huile de paraffine et n'a pas été électrifiée jusqu'en 1977. Il était alors le dernier phare de la Trinity House à être alimenté à l'huile. Désaffectation Le phare a été désarmé en 1984, juste deux ans après sa conversion à l'automatisation. À l'époque, sa fine lentille de Fresnel de premier ordre a été enlevée par Trinity House et exposée dans leur musée à Penzance. Quelques années plus tard, le phare de St Mary's a été ouvert comme une attraction publique par l'autorité locale. À la place de l'original, la Trinity House a offert une optique plus petite de leur phare de Withernsea qui est visible dans la lanterne au sommet de la tour. Après la fermeture du musée du phare de Penzance, la lentille originale est revenue à St Mary's en 2011 pour être exposée dans la salle des visiteurs. Le phare aujourd'hui Depuis 2012, le phare de St Mary est monument classé de Grade II. Bien qu'il ne fonctionne plus comme phare actif, il est facilement accessible par la chaussée rocheuse à marée basse et régulièrement ouvert aux visiteurs. En plus du phare, il y a un petit musée, un centre d'accueil et un café. Un autre phare victorien peut être vu à quelques kilomètres au sud de la rivière Tyne. Le phare de Souter, qui est également désaffecté et ouvert au public, peut être vu à l'œil nu depuis le haut du phare. Identifiant : ARLHS : ENG-145 - ex Amirauté : A2748.

Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de Sandringham

L'église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine (anglais : St Mary Magdalene Church) est une église située à Sandringham, dans le comté de Norfolk en Angleterre, dédiée à Marie Madeleine. Elle se trouve juste au nord-ouest du domaine de Sandringham House. Les membres de la famille royale présents au domaine viennent y assister aux offices, en particulier à Noël. Le bâtiment actuel, qui date du XVIe siècle, a été restauré en 1857 par l'architecte Samuel Sanders Teulon et est considéré comme un bel exemple de construction en grès de style gothique perpendiculaire. Situé dans un parc et « se tenant majestueusement sur une assise surélevée », on s'en approche par une avenue bordée de vieux pins d'Écosse. L'autel et le retable en argent ont été offerts à la reine Alexandra par l'américain Rodman Wanamaker (en) en hommage à Édouard VII. Il lui a également remis une chaire et une croix processionnaire espagnole du XVIIe siècle, toutes deux en argent. Comme autres éléments remarquables, il faut citer des fonts baptismaux en marbre de Florence et des fonts baptismaux grecs datant du IXe siècle. À l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de l'église, on rencontre des mémoriaux commémorant des membres de la famille royale et certains de leurs proches. Le prince John y est enterré. Le cercueil du roi George VI y a été exposé à sa mort en février 1952.
