St Mary-at-Hill

St Mary-at-Hill ist eine zur (anglikanischen) Church of England gehörende Kirche in der City of London. Die Kirche ist als Grade-I-Bauwerk gelistet. St Mary-at-Hill ist die Gemeindekirche der Billingsgate-Ward. Wie die übrige City of London auch, hat auch Billingsgate fast keine Bewohner mehr. Die Kirchenbesucher sind Menschen, die in der City arbeiten oder London-Besucher. Die Kirche liegt an einem Abhang hin zum Ufer der Themse und hat daher ihren Namen. Baugeschichte Die Kirche geht auf das 12. Jahrhundert zurück. In ihrer jetzigen Gestalt stammt sie aus dem 15. Jahrhundert. Dabei wurde nach dem Großen Brand von London ein Teil zerstört und von 1670 bis 1674 durch Christopher Wren wieder aufgebaut. Wren erhielt den Turm und Teile der Außenwände. Der Turm mitsamt dem westlichen Ende an der Lovat Lane allerdings wurde im 18. Jahrhundert durch George Gwilt erneuert. Ein weiteres Feuer im Jahr 1988 zerstörte das Dach, das seitdem aber wieder aufgebaut wurde. Architektur Die Kirche ist so vom engen Straßennetz der City of London umgeben, dass es quasi unmöglich ist, mehrere Seiten auf einmal zu sehen. Selbst der Kirchturm ist nur von Westen aus sichtbar. Die Nordseite ist nur von einem kleinen Hof aus zu sehen, die Südseite durch einen engen Fußweg, West- und Ostfassade jeweils durch etwas breitere Straßen. Je nachdem ob man sich von Lovat Lane (Westen) oder St Mary-at-Hill (Osten) nähert, scheint die Kirche einen komplett verschiedenen Charakter zu haben. Die durch Wren errichtete Ostfassade hat ein zentrales Fenster im palladianischen Stil, das seit dem 18. Jahrhundert zugemauert ist. Rechts und links davon sind zwei halbkreisförmige Fenster. Auffallend an dieser Fassade ist auch die Uhr, die auf die Straße reicht. Insbesondere in der nördlichen Mauer, die an einen kleinen Kirchhof grenzt, sind noch mittelalterliche Bauteile vorhanden. Der Turm an der Westseite ist aus gelbem Backstein gemauert. Die Grundform der Kirche entspricht einem Quincunx, wie es in byzantinischen Kirchen üblich war. Eine Kuppel in der Mitte wird von vier freistehenden Säulen getragen. Die Säulen sind freie Abwandlungen der korinthischen Säulen. Auffällig sind insbesondere die Holzarbeiten hoher Qualität im Inneren. Diese befanden sich nach dem Feuer von 1988 für mehrere Jahre im Lager.

St Mary & St Lawrence's Church, Stratford Tony

The Church of St Mary & St Lawrence in the village of Stratford Tony, south Wiltshire, England, was built in the 13th century. It stands on the south bank of the River Ebble, accessed from the north down a lane, across the river and up a bank. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade I listed building, and is a redundant church, in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust since 1986. Architecture The chancel dates from the 14th century, and was built on the site of an earlier church. The low 14th-century west tower is built with large Chilmark stone blocks and flint chequers, and has a pyramid-shaped tiled roof. Around the church walls are a collection of gargoyles. In the 18th century, the nave was rebuilt in banded brick and flint, and in the construction of the north porch a doorway from the 12th or 13th century was reused. Status The church was declared redundant on 1 October 1984, and was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust on 26 March 1986. An annual service is held. Interior The church has a cylindrical stone font from the 12th or 13th century, and a fine piscina in Purbeck stone from the mid-13th century. The stalls and pews – including box pews with colonnaded tops – are from the 17th century; some alterations are from the re-ordering of 1882. Memorials include a marble plaque to George Taunton and a wall tablet to Elizabeth Hill who died in 1715. The stained glass in the east window was installed by the studio of Charles Eamer Kempe in 1884. In 2012 Loyd Grossman, who is the chairman of the Churches Conservation Trust, visited the church and presented certificates to local school children who had researched the history of the church. Churchyard There is a large Yew tree in the churchyard with a girth of over 11 feet (3.4 m). Among the graves and tombs in the churchyard is a chest tomb to Anthony Bradbury who died in 1845. Former parish The benefice was united with neighbouring Bishopstone in 1925, with the incumbent to live at Bishopstone, although the parishes remained distinct. Later that year, outlying portions of the parish were transferred to the parishes in which they lay, namely Coombe Bissett, Homington and Britford. A group ministry was established for the Ebble valley in 1972, and today the area is part of the Chalke Valley Churches benefice.

St Mary Aldermanbury

St Mary Aldermanbury war ein anglikanisches Kirchengebäude im Londoner Innenstadtbezirk City of London, das 1966 nach Fulton (Missouri) transloziert wurde. Es ist dort eingetragen im National Register of Historic Places. Geschichte Ein erstmals 1181 erwähntes Kirchengebäude an dieser Stelle wurde 1666 beim Großen Brand von London zerstört und anschließend von 1672 bis 1677 durch Christopher Wren durch einen Neubau in Portlandstein ersetzt. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg 1940 bis auf die Umfassungsmauern zerstört, wurde die Ruine 1966 abgetragen und das Steinmaterial in die U.S.A. verbracht, wo die Kirche auf dem Campus von Westminster College in Fulton (Missouri) als Memorial für Winston Churchill, der hier am 5. März 1946 in Anwesenheit Harry S. Trumans seine Rede „The Sinews of Peace“ („Die Sehnen des Friedens“) zum Eisernen Vorhang gehalten hatte, wiederaufgebaut wurde. Am ursprünglichen Standort, wo der Grundriss durch Pflanzungen markiert ist, erinnert eine Gedenktafel an das Kirchengebäude. Wie zahlreiche der von Wren entworfenen Londoner Pfarrkirchenbauten ist St Mary Aldermanbury eine fünfjochige Hallenkirche mit tonnengewölbtem Mittelschiff über korinthischen Säulen, wobei das Mitteljoch querschiffartig von einem Kreuzgratgewölbe unterbrochen ist. Das Bauwerk beschließt ein einfacher Westturm mit gotisierenden Maßwerköffnungen im Glockengeschoss und einem Laternenaufsatz. Innerhalb des Turmes befinden sich 24 Steinstufen aus dem 12. Jahrhundert, die bereits durch Christopher Wren aus dem Baubestand der romanischen Vorgängerkirche wiederverwendet wurden.

Chiesa di Santa Maria Maddalena (Greenwich)

La chiesa di Santa Maria Maddalena (St Mary Magdalene in inglese) è un edificio di culto anglicano situato a Woolwich, nel Borgo Reale di Greenwich. Storia Una prima chiesa di Woolwich, eretta probabilmente pre-conquista normanna, era dedicata a San Lorenzo e sorgeva su un promontorio a circa 37 m a nord di quella attuale. La prima testimonianza dell'esistenza di questo edificio è un documento del 1182. Nel XV secolo la chiesa fu dedicata alla Vergine Maria e, un secolo dopo, a Santa Maria Maddalena. Nel XVIII secolo la struttura della chiesa versava in condizioni precarie, la guglia elisabettiana era infatti crollata e le fondamenta mostravano segni di cedimento. Così, tra il 1732 e il 1739, a breve distanza, fu eretto un nuovo edificio, poi consacrato il 9 maggio 1740. Successivamente la vecchia chiesa fu demolita e il sagrato ampliato e cinto da un muro. Nel 1894 la chiesa fu ampliata con un nuovo coro secondo lo stile palladiano inglese. Un discusso intervento realizzato negli anni sessanta verrà poi annullato durante l'ultimo restauro nel 2008. Descrizione La chiesa presenta un esterno in mattoni e con lo zoccolo in pietra di Portland. Nella facciata è inserita la torre campanaria. L'interno presenta una navata a cinque campate fiancheggiata da colonnati due navate laterali con gallerie. L'interno è dipinto di azzurro e bianco, comprese le grandi colonne di pietra rossa che fiancheggiano il presbiterio e le colonnine che incorniciano la finestra est.

St Mary Magdalene's Church, Alsager

St Mary Magdalene's Church is in Crewe Road, Alsager, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Congleton, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield, and the diocese of Chester. Dedicated to Jesus' companion Mary Magdalene, it is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History The church replaced a "tin tabernacle" that was sold for £150 and moved to Hassall Green, where it survives as St Philip's Church. The new building was constructed between 1894 and 1896 by the Lancaster firm of architects Austin and Paley, the church having been designed in 1884 by Hubert Austin. At this time only the east bay of the north aisle was built. The aisle was completed in 1936–37, at which time the architect was Henry Paley. It had been planned for the tower, which rises only to the height of the nave, to be higher and for a spire to be added, but this was never achieved. Architecture Exterior St Mary's is constructed in red sandstone with tiled roofs. Its plan consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a north and south porch, a chancel with an organ loft and vestry to the southeast, and a west tower. The tower has diagonal buttresses, and a semi-octagonal stair turret to the south. On its west side is a four-light window. On the south side of the church is a porch with a statue of Mary Magdalene above the doorway. To the right of this are five windows, one with two lights, the others with three lights, all containing Decorated-style tracery. Along the clerestory are five two-light windows. The windows on the north side of the church are similar, but those along the aisle all have three lights. On the south wall of the chancel are three two-light windows. The east window has six lights. Interior Between the nave and the aisle are five-bay arcades carried on elliptical piers. On the north side of the chancel is a two-bay arcade. In the south wall of the chancel are a sedilia and a piscina. The reredos and chancel screen date from 1926. The font is square with chamfered corners. The stained glass includes windows from the early 20th century designed by G. P. Hutchinson for Powells, a window by Karl Parsons dated 1926 depicting Saint Michael and Gabriel, and two windows by Heaton, Butler and Bayne dating from about 1915 and from about 1920. The three-manual organ was built in 1905 by Steele and Keay, with alterations by Rushworth and Dreaper in 1945, and by Ward and Shutt in 1978.

St Mary Magdalene's Church, Broughton-in-Furness

St Mary Magdalene's Church is in Broughton-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Furness, the archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle. Its benefice is united with those of four other local parishes. The church, dedicated to Jesus' companion Mary Magdalene, is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History The oldest fabric in the present church is the late Norman south doorway, dating from the 12th century. Alterations and additions were made to the church in the 16th and the 19th centuries. In 1873–74 the church was restored by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin. This included rebuilding the nave, restoring the chancel and adding a new aisle. They removed the west gallery and reseated the body of the church. Stone from St Bees was used for the external dressings, and the interior was faced with Runcorn sandstone. In 1900 the south west tower was replaced by Austin and Paley, the successors of Paley and Austin. The funds for the improvement were provided by Lord Cross who also donated a peal of bells. Architecture The church is constructed in stone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has slate roofs. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave, a three-bay chancel, a south aisle, a south porch, and a southwest tower. The windows and bell openings are round-headed, following the style of the Norman doorway. The tower is in three stages, with buttresses and a corbel table. At its summit are a coped parapet and gablets to the east and west. The bell openings are louvred. Internally, the arcade is carried on round piers. In the aisle is a restored piscina. The stained glass includes works by Kempe, Shrigley and Hunt, and by William Morris, (designed by Burne-Jones). External features In the churchyard to the south of the church are three more Grade II listed buildings. The sundial is possibly the stump of a medieval churchyard cross. The Atkinson monument consists of a headstone dated 1805. Also to the south of the church is a group of four tombs dating from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. There is a ring of 12 bells in the tower. Originally a ring of 8, they were augmented to 10 and later to 12.

St Mary Magdalene's Church, Caldecote

St Mary Magdalene's Church is a redundant Anglican church standing in the deserted medieval village of Caldecote, Hertfordshire, 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 Friends of Friendless Churches. History The present church dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. It is likely that there was an earlier church on the site as the list of rectors begins in 1215. The village was abandoned mainly during the 15th and 16th centuries. Repairs were carried out to the church in the 18th century. The population then declined and the church was declared redundant in 1975. It was taken into the care of the charity, the Friends of Friendless Churches, in 1982. The charity holds the freehold with effect from 15 April 1982. In order to assist in the maintenance of the church, the Caldecote Church Friends was established in 2007. In 2021, the church was attacked by vandals, bleach was poured on the altar, a fire extinguisher was emptied across the site and rocks were thrown through the 14th century windows. Architecture, fittings and furniture St Mary's is constructed in flint and clunch rubble, with some brick. The clunch came from a nearby quarry at Ashwell. The brick was inserted to replace worn-away clunch. It is a small church with a nave and chancel without any division between them. It measures 51 feet (15.5 m) long by 14 feet 6 inches (4.4 m) wide. At the west end is a tower in two stages with corner buttresses in the lower part of the bottom stage. There are two-light windows dating from the 14th century in both stages and a plain parapet at the summit. On the east face of the tower is a lead plaque inscribed "Katherine Morris 1736", an unusual reference to a female plumber responsible for the lead covering on the roof. On the south of the church is a porch dating from the 15th century. The nave, chancel and porch have battlemented parapets. The windows in the nave and chancel are Perpendicular in style. Inside the porch is a crocketed and canopied stoup, which Nikolaus Pevsner states is unique. The font dates from the 15th century; it is octagonal with carved tracery, shields, and foliage, in "unusually rich" Perpendicular style. The benches also date from the 15th century, as does the circular east window. The memorials include a kneeling figure of Rector William Makesey who died in 1424. There is also a plaque to the memory of Thomas Inskip, 1st Viscount Caldecote. References
St Mary Magdalene's Church, Langridge

It was restored by James Wilson between 1857 and 1861. There is a small nave and a two-stage Norman tower. Also Norman are the chancel arch (restored 1870) and south doorway. Above the chancel arch is a rare figure of the Virgin and Child, described by English Heritage as 13th-century, but by the church guidebook as "probably 11th century". The apse was added by Charles Edward Davis, the Bath City Architect, between 1869 and 1872. In the nave are various monuments and memorials. A 37-inch (94 cm) brass of Elizabeth Walsche, who died in 1441, depicted in widow's weeds, was stolen in 2002. Another monument, this one in stone, to the same woman remains.

St Mary Magdalene, Campsall

St Mary Magdalene is a parish church in the Church of England in Campsall in South Yorkshire. It is Grade I listed. There is a service every Sunday at 11:00. History The present church, dedicated to St Mary Magdalene, was established towards the end of the eleventh century and contains features of almost every style of architecture since that time. Originally the Norman church was planned to be cruciform but it was changed to feature the western tower and included a chancel, transepts and a nave to which aisles were later added. The church was supported for many years by its principal benefactors, the Yarbrough family of Campsmount. Several of the monuments in the chancel are dedicated to the Yarbrough family including an 1803 memorial commemorating Thomas Yarbrough by renowned sculptor, John Flaxman. In 1879, when the Rev. Edwin Castle was vicar, eight bells (three new and five re-cast) were installed along with a new clock. The vicarage had been restored the previous year. Robin Hood It is locally reputed that legendary outlaw Robin Hood was married to Maid Marian at this church. Based upon a Child Ballad, the theory is founded on the premise that St Mary Magdalene is the only possible church in the area to fit the description, but no firm evidence exists for this supposition. In 2013, when the National Churches Trust were compiling a list of the nation's favourite places of worship, the local MP Ed Miliband nominated St Mary Magdalene because of its association with the Robin Hood legend.
