St Michael and All Angels Church, Brownsover

St Michael and All Angels Church is a redundant Anglican church in the former village of Brownsover, which is now a suburb of the town of Rugby, Warwickshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. History St Michael's originated in the 13th century as a chapel of ease to the parish of Clifton-upon-Dunsmore. Windows were added to the church later in the same century, and more were added in the following two centuries. After the Reformation, buttresses and a west porch were added. In 1876 the church was restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott for Allesley Boughton-Leigh of nearby Brownsover Hall. The restoration amounted almost to a rebuilding of the church, but it was done in a sympathetic manner. In the early 20th century, new stained glass was inserted in the east window. The church was declared redundant on 10 February 1987 and became vested in the Churches Conservation Trust. Architecture Exterior The church is constructed in cream-coloured stone, with reddish-brown freestone dressings. The roof is in clay tiles. Its plan is simple, consisting of a nave with a smaller chancel. The nave measures 30 feet (9.1 m) by 24 feet 9 inches (7.5 m), and the chancel 19 feet 6 inches (5.9 m) by 13 feet 3 inches (4.0 m). There is a small brick extension at the northeast corner between the nave and the chancel. The west end is gabled with diagonal buttresses and a string course. The church is entered by a west doorway with a pointed arch, on each side of which are two-light windows. Above these windows are smaller single-light windows, and between them is a gabled bracket holding a bell. There are two two-light windows on the north and south sides of the nave, with a buttress between them. There is a lancet window in the east wall of the nave. The chancel has diagonal buttresses, and a three-light east window. On its north side is a paired lancet window, and on the south is a similar window plus a single lancet. Interior The interior is mainly plastered and whitewashed. It is floored with 19th-century polychrome tiles. In the south wall is a piscina. The font is circular and dates from the 13th century. The east window contains 20th-century stained glass commemorating Lawrence Sheriff, the founder of Rugby School. All the other windows contain plain glass. In the church is a rectangular wooden screen dating from the 15th century and later. The wooden pulpit is Flemish, dating from the 18th century, and is set into the east wall of the nave. The organ case is German and highly decorated. It was made in 1660, originally for St John's College, Cambridge, and was moved here in the late 19th century. The single-manual organ was built in 1876 by the Bryceson Brothers. See also List of churches preserved by the Churches Conservation Trust in the English Midlands References

St Michael and All Angels Church, Great Houghton

St Michael and All Angels Church is the parish church of Great Houghton in South Yorkshire. The church is dedicated to St Michael, and was originally a private chapel and was built by Sir Edward Rodes, the High Sheriff of Yorkshire, who was a conspicuous Parliamentarian. It was built about 1650 and used for worship by his family and the tenants of his land. Sir Edward was a great friend of Oliver Cromwell, when he was the Lord Protector of England. He served in Cromwell's Privy Council and was also the Colonel of his Cavalry. Cromwell visited the church on its completion and approved of its simple design. Sir Edward died on 19 February 1666 and is buried in Darfield Church. His Coat of Arms appeared in stone on the east gable of the church. This mysteriously disappeared over the years but the space where it lay still remains. The first religious ceremony in the chapel was the baptism of one of the younger sons of Sir Edward by Mr Edward Bowles of York, one of the most eminent Presbyterian clergy of his day. Richard Taylor was the first officiating minister as Chaplain to the Rodes family. He had been prevented from exercising his ministry in public by the Act of Uniformity. The Rodes family were great patrons of nonconformity. The chapel at Great Houghton must have been well known throughout the country as a haven for persecuted clergy of the period. The chapel had a succession of non-conforming ministers who existed under Rode's protection. The chapel remained private for many years and it was not until 1849 that it became ‘Episcopally licensed’ for worship. It only became part of the Church of England (under Darfield parish) in 1906 and the first Anglican service was a Holy Communion which took place on 24 November 1908.

St Michael and All Angels Church, Headingley

Headingley Parish Church or the Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels in Headingley, a suburb of Leeds, in West Yorkshire, England is a Victorian Church of England parish church. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The parish of Headingley was carved out of the once very large parish of Leeds, which at the time also included the districts of Armley, Beeston, Bramley and Hunslet. The first church on the site was built on land given in about 1620 by John Savile. This church remained in place for 210 years and could hold 200 congregants. The Industrial Revolution brought population booms to northern England and the population of Headingley increased to 2,000 warranting the creation of a vicarcy in 1849 and the building of a larger, 600-seater, church in 1838, designed by the architect R. D. Chantrell. However, this church was not to last: further increases in population meant that a new church was needed. Today's church is the third on the site and was consecrated in 1886. With the growth in the local population a new parish of Far Headingley was created, and St Chad's Church, Far Headingley was built in 1868. The two churches have worked together in matters of child welfare. The Headingley Team of St Michael's and St Chad's have a tradition of undertaking welfare work dating back to the late 19th century, and during the Second World War St Chad's opened a home for the friendless girls' societies in Leeds. In recent years, the two churches hold early Sunday morning communion services alternately, and both participate in Churches Together in Headingley. Building and associated buildings The church was designed by J. L. Pearson, architect of Truro Cathedral. It was built from 1884 to 1886, and the north porch was added and the spire completed in 1890. It is built of gritstone with a tiled roof, and is Grade II* listed. The church wall and gate piers are Grade II listed. The Parish Hall was built in 1834 or 1844 as the Headingley National School, and is Grade II listed, as is the former Parochial Institute in Bennett Road, built in 1877 by George Corson and now used as offices. Services Worship at the church is in the liberal catholic tradition of the Church of England, with both Sunday services being sung by the church's choir.

Iglesia de San Miguel y Todos los Ángeles (Hughenden)

La Iglesia de San Miguel y Todos los Ángeles (en inglés: St Michael and All Angels Church) es un templo anglicano catalogado de Grado II* en monumento clasificado del Reino Unido, situado en la localidad de Hughenden Valley, Buckinghamshire, Inglaterra, cerca de High Wycombe. Está estrechamente asociado con la cercana Hughenden Manor y el ex primer ministro, Benjamin Disraeli, quien está enterrado en el cementerio de la iglesia.​​ Historia Según los primeros registros, una iglesia existía en este sitio en el siglo XII, construida por Geoffrey de Clinton entre 1100 y 1135. Los monjes establecieron un pequeño priorato aquí en el edificio que hoy se utiliza como salón parroquial, la Casa de la Iglesia.​ La iglesia en sí es de origen medieval y este edificio original ahora forma el presbiterio y la capilla norte del edificio actual. En 1848 Benjamin Disraeli compró Hughenden Manor.​ La iglesia fue restaurada y ampliada entre 1874 y 1890, siguiendo la ola de restauraciones victorianas. Disraeli fue primer ministro británico dos veces, en 1868 y 1874-1880, y fue nombrado conde de Beaconsfield en 1876. Murió en 1881 y fue enterrado en la cripta familiar junto con su esposa Lady Beaconsfield (muerta en 1872) que se encuentra en el muro oeste de la iglesia.​ El protocolo real no permitía a la reina Victoria asistir al funeral privado, pero ella visitó la tumba unos días después para presentar sus respetos.​​ Interior Entre las vidrieras se encuentran las obras de Thomas Willement y de Clayton y Bell, incluida su Ventana Este de 1881 que representa a Cristo en Majestad, que se instaló como otro monumento a Disraeli. El púlpito de mármol y alabastro (c. 1891), tallado de forma ornamentada, es obra de Thomas Earp en estilo gótico victoriano alto y presenta relieves de arcángeles en arcos góticos.​ Los monumentos en la iglesia incluyen tres efigies reclinadas de caballeros, uno de ellos con las piernas cruzadas; aunque aparentemente en el estilo del siglo XIII, las efigies se han determinado hasta la fecha del siglo XVI y se cree que fueron esculpidas como evidencia fabricada del pedigrí de la familia Wellesbourne como descendientes de Simón I de Montfort.​ Galería de imágenes Referencias Enlaces externos Sitio web oficial (en inglés) Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Iglesia de San Miguel y Todos los Ángeles.

St Michael le Belfrey

St Michael le Belfrey är en kyrka inom den anglikanska kyrkogemenskapen som är belägen i York, Yorkshire i England, precis bredvid York Minster. Den ursprungliga kyrkan byggdes någon gång före eller under 1294 medan den nuvarande kyrkan byggdes mellan 1525 och 1536. St Michael le Belfrey är känd för att Guy Fawkes döptes där den 16 april 1570. Det var även i denna kyrka som kaptenen Christopher Levett år 1608 gifte sig med Mercy More, dotter till Robert More av Guiseley, Yorkshire. Under det sena 1960-talet hade en närliggande kyrka, St Cuthbert's Church, fått fler och fler besökare till sig mycket på tack vare prästen David Watson. Därför bestämdes det under tidigt 1970-tal att de både kyrkorna skulle sammanslås, då St Cuthbert's Church inte längre kunde ta emot alla besökare. Dessa kyrkor blev sedan en mötesplats för de som ansåg sig tillhöra den karismatiska kristendomen. Numera har St Michael le Belfrey runt 800 trogna besökare.
