Oxford Oratory

The Oxford Oratory Church of St Aloysius Gonzaga (or Oxford Oratory for short) is the Catholic parish church for the centre of Oxford, England. It is located at 25 Woodstock Road, next to Somerville College. The church is served by the Congregation of the Oratory. History St Aloysius' was founded as the Jesuit (Society of Jesus) parish of central Oxford. The building was funded by £7,000 donated by the Catholic convert Baroness Weld. Completed in 1875, the building of St Aloysius' was an important step in the ongoing refoundation of a Roman Catholic presence in Oxford. The parish was served by notable members of the society for many years, including Gerard Manley Hopkins (December 1878 – September 1879). The church also housed a notable collection of relics bequeathed by Hartwell de la Garde Grissell, many of which were destroyed in the 1970s. In the 1980s, the Jesuits left the church and the parish was taken over by the Archdiocese of Birmingham. In 1990, the Archbishop of Birmingham invited members of the Birmingham Oratory to take over the running of the parish and found a new Oratorian community in Oxford. Two priests from Birmingham arrived in September 1990 and, in 1993, the Oxford Oratory was established as an independent Congregation. Fr Robert Byrne then served as provost from 1993 to 2011. From 2011 to 2019, Fr Daniel Seward served as provost. The incumbent is the Very Rev. Fr Nicholas Edmonds-Smith. Liturgy It is part of the tradition of the Oratory in England to ensure that the liturgy is celebrated in a dignified and worthy manner. In the Oxford Oratory most Masses are celebrated in English, but on Sundays and Holydays a non-Tridentine Solemn Mass is sung in Latin. Latin is also used in the Tridentine Low Mass also celebrated on Sundays and Holydays, while the Parish Mass is sung in English. Organ The organ was enlarged between 1998 and 2004 by Matthew Copley. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. Building The church was designed by Joseph Hansom in a Gothic Revival style. Much of the original interior decoration was painted over in the 1970s, and the altar moved forward. The building is being gradually restored as part of the Oratory's "Reaffirmation and Renewal" campaign, which commenced fundraising in 2007. Two 'lost' murals by Gabriel Pippet were restored in 2024 by Cliveden Conservation. The church consists of a single nave and five side chapels. To the left of the sanctuary is the Sacred Heart chapel, and the Lady Chapel is to the right. There are also chapels dedicated to St Philip Neri (formerly St Joseph's chapel) and Our Lady of Oxford (also known as the relic chapel). A shrine dedicated to St John Henry Newman after his beatification was established in 2010, and there are plans to build a new baptistery.

Лавка древностей (Лондон)

Лавка древностей (англ. The Old Curiosity Shop — магазин старых диковинок) — антикварный магазин в Лондоне по адресу Портсмут-стрит, дом № 13-14. Находится в центре города, в Вестминстере, на территории, которую в настоящее время занимает Лондонская школа экономики и политических наук. Здание было построено в XVI веке из дерева, из которого ранее был построен корабль, и является одним из старейших в Лондоне. Одно из немногих, оно уцелело во время Большого Лондонского пожара в 1666 году. Во время бомбардировок Лондона немецкой авиацией во время Второй мировой войны также избежало повреждений. Своё современное название магазин получил после 1840—1841 годов, когда публиковалось и приобрело популярность одноименное произведение Чарльза Диккенса. Современное заведение придерживается стиля, передающего атмосферу лавки, описанной в романе. Примечания

All Saints' Church, Spofforth, North Yorkshire

All Saints Church is an Anglican church in the parish of Spofforth and Kirk Deighton in North Yorkshire, England. History The earliest parts of the church are of Norman origin, however the church was remodelled somewhat in the 15th century. The 15th-century enlargements were thought to be unnecessary after the building of a church in Wetherby and the church was again remodelled in 1854–55 by JW Hugall, with the nave and chancel being returned to Norman style. In 1971 the ecclesiastical parishes of Spofforth, Kirk Deighton, Follifoot and Little Ribston were merged to form the Parish of Spofforth and Kirk Deighton in the Diocese of Ripon. The parish transferred to the Diocese of Leeds in 2014. The blind road-builder John Metcalf (1717-1810) is buried in the churchyard. Buildings The buildings are Grade II* listed. Most of the current church dates back from the 1854–55 remodelling under the Reverend James Tripp, however the tower is 15th century and contains four bells; three of which date from the late 16th or early 17th century.

Ampton Hall

Ampton Hall is a Grade II-listed Jacobean style manor house in Ampton, Suffolk, England. Ampton Hall was the birthplace in 1805 of Robert FitzRoy, who became the second Governor of New Zealand. It later belonged to the Paley family: John Paley (1839-1894) was High Sheriff of Suffolk for 1889–90 and his son George Arthur Paley (1874-1941) High Sheriff in 1906–07. The Hall was destroyed by fire on 3 January 1885 and re-built in 1892 by Eustace Balfour and Hugh Thackeray Turner of London. It has gardens designed by Capability Brown and a lake. During the First World War, the house was used as an auxiliary hospital. The property was acquired by Sir Pierce Lacy, Bt., a stockbroker, who was appointed High Sheriff of Suffolk for 1927–28. When he died in 1956 the contents of the house were sold at auction. References External links Sir Victor Paley Photos at the National Archives
Bispham Hall

Bispham Hall is a Grade II* listed Elizabethan country house in Billinge, now part of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan in Greater Manchester, England. History Bispham Hall was named after the Bispham family who acquired the estate by marriage in 1346 and held it until 1730. It then passed to the Leigh family of Whitley Hall, Wigan. In 1825 the property had descended to John Holt, who had inherited it in 1816 from his unmarried brother Robert. In 1841 John Holt left the property to William Mills, a distant relative of Cheshire, on condition that the latter adopted the surname of Holt. On William's death, the estate passed to his son William Thomas, who died in 1857, leaving it to be divided between his six sisters, whereby it was sold in 1871 to coal-producer Meyrick Holmes Bankes of Winstanley Hall. The Bispham estate was acquired by the Boy Scout Association in 1948 as an activity centre. The hall itself was gutted by a fire in 1977 or 1978, but has been since restored by the Vivat Trust and is now privately owned. The scout activity centre provides, in addition to indoor accommodation facilities, field camping areas for large groups and smaller woodland clearings for smaller groups. Varied outdoor facilities are organised, including climbing, orienteering, canoeing and team sports. Architecture The hall was built in 1573 but has been extended since. It is constructed to an E-shaped plan in dressed stone with ashlar dressings in three storeys, with a frontage of five gabled bays. The second and fourth bays project but the first and fifth bays project even further and are wider. Despite interior damage caused by fire, the hall remains one of the most complete examples of 16th-century architecture in the historic county of Lancashire. Grounds The surrounding park, at one time much larger than the 60-acre (24 ha) estate which exists today, had extensive woodlands which contain an 1815 monument to the Duke of Wellington and a smaller monument to either a horse or dog called Dash. Folklore Local folklore surrounding Bispham Hall includes tales of two ghosts. One legend claims that the spirit of Nellie Bispham haunts the woods surrounding the hall. Another story involves the ghost of Flo Demon, who is said to haunt the bunkhouse following her alleged death by axe in 1993.

The Black Lion

The Black Lion ist ein historisches Pub an der Adresse 274 Kilburn High Road im London Borough of Camden. Seit 1974 gehört das Bauwerk zu den Listed Buildings (Nr. 1379254, Grade II*). Geschichte und Beschreibung Das Haus gegenüber dem Kiln Theatre, dem ehemaligen Tricycle, wurde um 1898 nach Plänen von Robert Alexander Lewcock im Stil der Flämischen Gotik aus rotem Backstein mit Steinverkleidungen gebaut. An der Fassade wurden diese in rosa und grauem Granit ausgeführt. Auf einem Eckgrundstück errichtet, besitzt das Pub einen rechteckigen Grundriss; an das dreistöckige Hauptgebäude schließt sich auf der rechten Seite ein einstöckiger Anbau an, der einst als Billardraum genutzt und später zum Speisesaal gemacht wurde. Das Erdgeschoss des linken Teils ist in Arkadenform gestaltet und mit Pilastern geschmückt; die Doppeltüren zur Straße hin sind teilverglast. Sowohl an den Türen als auch an den Fenstern finden sich geätzte Scheiben. Die Obergeschosse des dreistöckigen Teils sind mit gemauerten Pilastern versehen. Diese stützen ein Gebälk mit vorstehendem Gesims; darüber befindet sich eine Arkadenbalustrade mit Kartuschen. Das Bauwerk ist mit Sprossenfenstern in verschiedener Gestalt ausgestattet, an der linken Fassadenecke sind diese gewölbt und befinden sich unter einer Laterne mit Spitzbogenkuppel und Wetterfahne. Der Anbau rechts hat ein breites Rundbogenfenster. Er weist eine Löwenmaske und eine Plakette mit der Aufschrift „The Black Lion rebuilt 1898“ auf. Im Inneren des Hauses befinden sich geschnitzte Vertäfelungen von Frederick T. Callcott. Von der Bar aus, die die Form eines Us hat, können zwei Räume bedient werden, zwischen denen sich ein Glas- und Holzschirm befindet. Die Einrichtungsgegenstände und Kamine sind zum Teil mit verspiegelten Abdeckungen versehen. Die beiden Hauptbars wurden mit einem vergoldeten Fries aus Gips im Adamstil versehen, die Stuckdecke weist Medaillons auf, die Wände sind mit diversen vergoldeten Basrelief-Plaketten von Callcott geschmückt. Bei dem Bombenattentat auf das nahegelegene Pub Biddy Mulligan's im Zuge des Nordirlandkonflikts im Jahr 1975 erlitt The Black Lion keinen Schaden. Aber 1991 wurde das Pub im Vorfeld eines Fußballspiels zwischen England und Irland im nahgelegenen Wembley-Stadion von Unterstützern der National Front überfallen, die anti-irische Slogans skandierten und mit Hurling-Schlägern, Backsteinen, Flaschen etc. die originalen Fenster vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts zerstörten und einen Schaden von rund 5000 Englischen Pfund anrichteten. Nachdem ein Teil des Deckenschmucks im Erdgeschoss einem Wasserschaden zum Opfer gefallen war, wurde das Pub 2020 vorübergehend geschlossen. Unter den neuen Betreibern London Village Inns wurde das Pub möglichst originalgetreu restauriert. Außerdem wurden in den oberen Geschossen elf Hotelzimmer eingerichtet. Die Restaurierung erhielt den CAMRA pub design award 2023, das Hotel wurde im Spätherbst 2023 eröffnet. Weblinks Einzelnachweise

Church of St Cuthbert by the Forest

The Church of St Cuthbert by the Forest is in the village of Mouldsworth, Cheshire, England. It is an active Roman Catholic church in the diocese of Shrewsbury. Its parish is combined with that of St Thomas Becket, Tarporley. The church, designed by Liverpool architect F. X. Velarde, is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The small church is distinguished by its characteristic detached campanile. History Mass was first said in the area in 1926 in a pavilion behind what was then the Station Hotel. In the 1950s, the owners of the hotel bought land to the south of the hotel and gave it to the diocese. The church was designed by F. X. Velarde, and was opened in September 1955 by John Murphy, Roman Catholic Bishop of Shrewsbury. The church cost £7,000, and the detached campanile £1,000. In about 1958 the church became part of Tarporley parish. The interior was reordered in 1976. Architecture Exterior St Cuthbert's is a small church designed to seat 72 people. Its design is influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, together with some Gothic and Germanic references. The exterior is faced with brick, the dressings are in artificial stone, and the church is roofed in Staffordshire tiles. There is a detached campanile to the southeast of the church. The church is orientated with the sanctuary at the west end; the following description will use the liturgical orientation. Its plan consists of a three-bay nave with a south sacristy, a narthex at the west end, and an apsidal sanctuary. The narthex has two gables, each containing a diamond-shaped window, and a main entrance on the north side. The windows along the sides of the nave are paired lancets separated by artificial stone mullions carved with angels. The sacristy has a south doorway, and windows on the south, west and east walls, those on the east having angel mullions. The apse is without windows, but on the sides of the sanctuary are windows similar to those on the nave. On the roof of the nave are three decorative cross finials. The brick campanile is almost 44 feet (13.4 m) high, and it has a stone bellcote containing electronic speakers. On the top is a copper pyramidal roof with a cross finial. Interior The interior of the church is in brick, with the ceilings and apse plastered. In the nave are two wide diaphragm arches, and there is a similar arch at the entrance to the sanctuary. The windows contain cathedral glass, and the mullions are also carved on the interior with angels. The Stations of the Cross are in wood that was carved in the South Tyrol. Behind the altar is a shelf on which is a tabernacle. In the south wall of the nave are the entrances to the sacristy and the confessional. The narthex contains a small chapel.

Church of St Mary the Virgin, Fawsley

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a Church of England parish church in Fawsley, Northamptonshire, England. It serves the parish of Fawsley under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Peterborough. It was built in the 13th century and is a Grade I listed building. History The current church dates to the 13th century. It is thought to have been established in 1209 on the site of a wooden Anglo-Saxon church, as a chapel under St John the Baptist Church in Blisworth. This lasted until the Dissolution of the Monasteries when the Knightley family demolished most of the village to enclose land for sheep farming. The church was protected from demolition by the fact that it had had land granted to it to establish a chantry in Bedfordshire. In 1690, the chancel was rebuilt and later, the church had effigies of the Knightley family installed after a number of them were buried in the church. The church was granted Grade I listed status in 1968 and was amended in 1987. Aided by its isolated location, a considerable amount of the copper covering was stolen from the roofs in 2015, causing some rain damage internally. Fund raising to replace the temporary plastic sheeting is well underway. Tower and bells The tower contains a ring of four bells, which are the oldest ring of four bells that all came from the same foundry at the same time. Casting of the bells is ascribed to W. Chamberlain of London in about 1440. The inscriptions cast on the bells are: Treble: SANCTE BOTOLFE ORA PRO NOBIS 2. IN MULTIS ANNIS RESONET CAMPANA JOHANNIS 3. SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENDICTUM Tenor: JOHANNES EST NOMEN EIUS All four bells also have three identity stamps: North’s # 18 a cross inscribed in a quarter ihu.merci.ladi.help on an octagonal base North’s # 19 crossed keys, fish, bell, tea pot, sheaf of corn in the quarters on a shield North’s # 20 letter m with mast and streamer and sideways “Y” on a shield All bells retain their cast canons. The timber frame dates from the early 17th century, and was repaired by John Taylor & Co in 1965/6 when the four bells were quarter turned, renovated with new independent crown staples, new fittings for swing chiming consisting of seasoned-elm headstocks, wrought-iron levers, steel gudgeons, fully enclosed ball bearings, clappers with new joints and ball-bearing rollers. In 1992, the frame was strengthened further by volunteers to a design by Eayre and Smith Ltd to allow for full circle ringing and the necessary additional fittings provided. A service of thanksgiving was held on 26 September 1992. Washington family In 1720, the coat of arms of the Washington family was noted as being carved into the stone outside the entrance, possibly because Reverend Lawrence Washington, the great-great-grandfather of United States President George Washington, owned the estate in the area that included the church. The shield was later hidden behind stones but was rediscovered in 1885 and protected with a glass case. The church also has stained-glass windows bearing the Washington family arms which were removed from Sulgrave Manor, the Washingtons' ancestral home. References

Church of St Nicholas and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Stowey

The Anglican Parish Church of St Nicholas and the Blessed Virgin Mary at Stowey within the English county of Somerset dates from the 13th century. It is a Grade II listed building. There may have been a wooden church on the site at the time of the Domesday Book, although the first written record from the Bath cartulary is of 1235. The oldest part of the current stone church is the chancel at the eastern end, which now contains the altar and has a small priest's door, above which is a small carved figure. The nave was added in the 14th century. The three-stage tower, which was added in the 14th or early 15th century, is supported by diagonal buttresses and has a stair turret in the northeast corner. It has six bells which are regularly rung for services. Five of the bells are from the local foundry of the Bilbie family, to which a sixth from the Whitechapel Bell Foundry was added in 1991. The church, which is adjacent to Stowey House, is built of the same local red sandstone, with alternating lias and red sandstone bands to the nave. It has a tiled roof above the chancel, while the nave and north porch have a slate roof. The church was altered in the 17th century, and in the 19th it underwent a Victorian restoration that included replacement of part of the roof and removal of the double-decker pulpit and a gallery. Inside the church are wall paintings by Henry Strachey from the early 20th century. There are life-sized representations of St Nicholas and St Mary on either side of the altar. Also in the chancel are paintings of the miraculous Feeding the multitude and of disciples on the road to Emmaus. The Last Judgment is pictured over the chancel arch with an equal number of angels of light and darkness. There are also wall monuments from the mid-18th century by Thomas Paty and other sculptors, commemorating the Jones and Sandford families. The font is from the 14th century. The organ was installed in the 1930s and electrified when electricity was brought into the church in 1965. Above the entrance door is a funerary hatchment which was made to celebrate the restoration of Charles II in 1660. During the 16th or 17th century, the parish was a chapelry of Chew Magna. The parish is within the Chew Magna Deanery itself within the archdeaconry of Bath. See also List of ecclesiastical parishes in the Diocese of Bath and Wells References External links
