St Leonard's Church, Middleton

St Leonard's is a Church of England parish church in Middleton, a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Historically part of Lancashire, it is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade I listed building and form part of Middleton's "Golden Cluster" of heritage sites. History Much of the present building was erected in 1412 by Thomas Langley (born in Middleton in 1363) who was Bishop of Durham and Lord Chancellor of England. He re-used the Norman doorway from an earlier structure to create the tower arch. Also distinctive in this region is the weather-boarded top stage to the tower. The church of St Leonard was enlarged in 1524 by Sir Richard Assheton, in celebration of the knighthood granted to him by Henry VIII for his part in the Battle of Flodden in 1513. On 15 March 1957, St Leonard's was designated as a Grade I listed building. Memorials The Flodden Window, in the sanctuary, is thought to be the oldest war memorial in the UK. It commemorates on it the names of the Middleton archers who fought at Flodden. The church also has one of the finest collections of monumental brasses in the north of England, including the only brass in the UK depicting an English Civil War officer in full armour, Major-General Ralph Assheton. George Pace designed a war memorial and, in 1958, added a choir vestry and installed new lighting. In the extension of the churchyard are the war graves of two First World War soldiers, and an airman from the Second World War. "Golden Cluster" Middleton's "Golden Cluster" refers to a group of historically significant buildings, representing over five centuries of architectural heritage. The cluster includes St Leonard's Church; Ye Olde Boar's Head (Grade II*), a pub with origins dating to 1622; the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School (Grade II*), a significant example of Tudor educational and architectural heritage; and Long Street Methodist Church (Grade II*), designed by architect Edgar Wood, a pioneer of the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements. Other notable sites include Jubilee Library and several Wood-designed buildings. The Golden Cluster showcases Middleton's links to medieval history, radical reformers, and the Arts and Crafts movement, and is promoted through heritage trails and guided tours.

Kostel svaté Margarety (Babington)

Kostel svaté Margarety, anglicky Church of St Margaret, je památkově chráněný anglikánský kostel v sousedství Babington House v Babingtonu, v Somersetu, v Anglii. Kostel je vlastněn a provozován charitou St Margaret. Na místě, před současným kostelem, stála normanská budova; kostel je zmiňován od roku 1748 a pravděpodobně ho postavil John Strahan nebo William Halfpenny. Je považován za velmi podobný v koncepci kapli Redland v Bristolu. Stavba byla zadána rodinou Knatchbullových. Budova zahrnuje apsidovou kapli a malou západní věž s osmihrannou kupolí. V interiéru jsou na kříži neobvyklé královské znaky Hannoverů. Na hřbitově se nachází soubor tří kamenných sarkofágů. Už zde neprobíhají pravidelné bohoslužby, ale je možné provádět některé obřady.

Свети Марк (Шефилд)

„Свети Марк“ (на английски: Church of Saint Mark) е енорийска църква на Църквата на Англия в предградието на Шефилд Брумхил, Великобритания. История Църквата първоначално е построена през 1868 – 1871 година по стандартен неоготически дизайн от Уилям Хенри Кросланд. Тази сграда] е разрушена от запалителна бомба по време на Шефилдския блиц от 12 декември 1940 година. Само шпилът и верандата са оцелели. Останките от бомбардираната църква са използвани като основа за нова църква, проектирана от Джордж Пейс и построена през 1958 - 1963 година. Тази нова сграда е с модернистичен дизайн, но се доближава до готическия шпил и веранда. Има и два забележителни витража: прозорецът Te Deum от Хари Стамърс и западният прозорец от Джон Пайпър и Патрик Рейнтиенс. Енорията на предградията Брумхил и Брумхол се е увеличила по площ и численост на населението през годините. През 70-те години на миналия век границите на енорията се разширяват, за да включат университетската област, а съседната църква „Свети Георги“ е затворена. По-късно, през 2000 година, друга съседна църква, „Свети Сила“, Брумхол, също е затворена. Сегашната енория включва голяма географска област, която се простира от Ранмур до градския околовръстен път. Известна със своята радикална, приобщаваща теология, църквата включва организацията КРС. Източници Harman, R. & Minnis, J. (2004) Pevsner City Guides: Sheffield. pp249–250.
