Queen’s Chapel

Die Queen’s Chapel ist eine Kapelle in der City of Westminster, die zwischen 1623 und 1626 von dem Architekten Inigo Jones als Teil des Palast-Komplexes von St James’s Palace errichtet wurde. Seit 1987 ist sie als Grade-I-Bauwerk eingestuft. Geschichte Die Kapelle wurde 1623 von König James I. für die katholische Maria Anna von Spanien in Auftrag gegeben, die sein Sohn Charles beabsichtigte zu heiraten. Der Grundstein wurde noch im selben Jahr gelegt, jedoch scheiterte die Hochzeit mit der spanischen Infantin. Kurz nach seiner Thronfolge im Jahr 1625 heiratete Charles stattdessen Henrietta Maria von Frankreich, die ebenfalls katholisch war und die Kapelle nutzte. Die Fertigstellung der Queen’s Chapel erfolgte 1626. 1662 wurde sie renoviert, um als Hofkapelle für Katharina von Braganza zu dienen, die Ehefrau von König Karl II. Ab 1689 nutzten protestantische Hofangehörige vom Kontinent die Kapelle. Mit dem Thronantritt von König Georg I., der eine große Zahl von lutherischen Höflingen mitgebracht hatte, war die Kapelle auch als German Chapel bekannt. Der Komponist Augustus Frederic Christopher Kollmann wirkte hier ab 1784 als Chapel Keeper, später auch als Organist. Seit 1939 wird sie wieder von der königlichen Familie exklusiv als Chapel Royal genutzt. Architektur Der rechteckige Innenraum der Queen’s Chapel zeichnet sich durch ein kassettiertes Trommelgewölbe aus. Der Architekturhistoriker Giles Worsley sieht ein Vorbild für dieses in dem antiken römischen Tempel des Sol und der Luna, den Palladio in seinen vier Büchern der Architektur beschreibt. Von außen präsentiert sich die Queen’s Chapel als rechteckiger Bau mit einem Giebeldach, das von einem hervorstechenden Kranzgesims getragen wird. Bei dem dreiteiligen Venezianischen Fenster an der Ostseite der Kapelle handelt es sich um das erste Fenster dieser Art, das Jones in ein Bauwerk integrierte. Im folgenden Jahrhundert wurde das Venezianische Fenster eines der beliebtesten Motive der klassischen Architektur in England. Die Positionierung des Venezianischen Fensters über dem Altar wurde in der Nachfolge von Jones unter anderem in den Kapellen von Castle Ashby und Pembroke College sowie in weiteren Projekten des Architekten Christopher Wren adaptiert.

Queen's Chapel

The Queen's Chapel (officially, The Queen's Chapel St James's Palace and previously the German Chapel) is a chapel in central London, England. Designed by Inigo Jones, it was built between 1623 and 1625 as an adjunct to St James's Palace, initially as a Catholic chapel for the Infanta Maria Anna of Spain, Holy Roman Empress, who in the end never used it because she didn't marry King Charles I of England. Afterwards, it was used by the woman he did marry, Queen Henrietta Maria of France, a Catholic, and her retinue. In later years, it served various continental Protestants who were resident at Court. It is one of the facilities of the British monarch's household religious establishment, the Chapel Royal, but should not be confused with the 1540 liturgical building also known as the Chapel Royal, which is within the palace, just across Marlborough Road. Queen's Chapel is a Grade I listed building. History The Queen's Chapel was built as a Catholic chapel at a time when the construction of churches for that denomination was otherwise prohibited in England, and was used by Charles I's wife French Queen Henrietta Maria, who imported chapel furnishings from France. During the English Civil War it was used as a stable. It was refurbished in 1662, and again in the 1680s by Christopher Wren. From the 1690s the chapel was used by the Continental Protestant courtiers of William and Mary. In 1718, the chapel was given over to German courtiers of George I who had moved to England with him. The chapel was then called the German Chapel. On 17 September 1782 the German organist Augustus Frederic Christopher Kollmann began work at the Royal German Chapel and he was there for the rest of his life. He was succeeded by his son George Augustus Kollmann and his daughter Johanna Sophia Kollmann who died in 1849. It became an administered Chapel Royal again in 1938. The chapel was built as an integral part of St James's Palace, but when the adjacent private apartments of the monarch burned down in 1809 they were not replaced, and in 1856–57 Marlborough Road was laid out between the palace and the Queen's Chapel. The result is that physically the chapel now appears to be more part of the Marlborough House complex than of St James's Palace. The body of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother lay at the Queen's Chapel for several days in 2002, during the preparations for her lying-in-state in Westminster Hall before her ceremonial funeral. Architecture The brick building is rendered to appear as if it were stone built. It was built in a Palladian style. It has gable ends with pediments. The interior vault is gilded and painted.

Capela da Rainha

A Capela da Rainha (em inglês:Queen's Chapel) é uma capela cristã localizada na área central de Londres, Inglaterra. Foi projetada por Inigo Jones e erguida entre 1623 e 1625 em anexo ao Palácio de St. James. É um dos locais privados religiosos do monarca britânico e contituiu uma Royal Peculiar. Foi construída como um templo católico quando a construção de templos católicos estava proibida na Inglaterra e foi usada pela rainha católica Henriqueta Maria, consorte de Carlos I. Durante a década de 1690 foi Protestante. Foi erguida como complemento ao Palácio de St. James, porém quando os apartamentos privados foram incendiados em 1809 e não foram reconstruídos, a Marlborough Road foi construída entre o Palácio e a Capela da Rainha. O resultado é a impressão de que a Capela da Rainha não faz parte do Palácio de St. James e, sim, da Marlborough House. Na Capela da Rainha, foi colocado o corpo da Rainha Mãe em 2002.
Queen's Dock, Port of Liverpool

Queen's Dock is a dock on the River Mersey and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to Wapping Dock to the north and Coburg Dock to the south. History The dock was designed by Henry Berry and opened in 1785. The dock was named in honour of Queen Charlotte, the consort of George III, and it was later expanded by John Foster, Sr. At its largest, the dock consisted of a main basin and two branch docks, which were separated by a graving dock. Branch Dock Number 2 (to the north) has since been filled in and is used as a car park. The graving dock is now straddled by an apartment block, The Keel, which was formerly the HM Revenue and Customs building. This and the other docks in the southern system were owned by British Waterways, transferred to the Canal & River Trust in 2012. References Sources Baines, Thomas (1859). Liverpool in 1859.

Queen’s Eyot

Das Queen’s Eyot ist eine Insel in der Themse oberhalb des Boveney Lock bei Windsor, Berkshire. Der Name der Insel leitet sich von der Übertragung von Land an die Königin oder die Witwe des Königs 1299 her. 1898 trat Colonel Victor Van de Weyer an das Eton College heran und machte ihm das Angebot, die Insel zu nutzen. Edmond Warre, der Headmaster des College, nahm das Angebot gern an, auch wenn ihm Van de Weyer nur eine Pacht für 99 Jahre gegen eine symbolische Pachtzahlung anbieten konnte, da die Insel Familienfideikommiss war und Warre sie gerne gekauft hätte. Victor Van des Weyers Sohn William verkaufte die Insel aber 1923 an das College für eine Summe von zehn Schilling. Edmond Warre ließ ein Clubhaus auf der Insel bauen, das 1990 abbrannte und durch einen Neubau ersetzt wurde. Das Clubhaus kann für Veranstaltungen gemietet werden. Der Fluss The Cut mündet nördlich der Insel in die Themse. Siehe auch Liste der Inseln in der Themse Einzelnachweise

Queen's Gardens, Croydon

The Queen's Gardens is a public garden in the centre of Croydon, South London. The gardens are bordered by Croydon Town Hall, Bernard Weatherill House, the site of the former Taberner House, Park Lane and Katharine Street. History In their present form, and under their present name, the gardens and their central fountain were opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1983. The area had previously consisted of the smaller Town Hall Gardens, and the site of Croydon's police station. The Town Hall Gardens had originally been laid out in the 1890s on the site of the disused spur railway line leading to Croydon Central station. The gardens now comprise areas of lawn with standard trees, a central fountain with benches, and a sunken garden area with formal flower beds and trees exploiting the former track bed and station wall complete with original railings on top. Situated just across from Croydon's register office, the gardens are popular for wedding photographs. A subway exits the park under Park Lane into an underground car park and across to the Fairfield Halls: the gardens are regularly used as a route between the Council offices and the underpass. The cancelled Park Place development featured proposals to radically alter the Queen's Gardens, with a more formal and modern planting style, an ice rink, space for performances and entrance into the Park Place shopping centre. The gardens remain part of the Croydon Vision 2020 regeneration plan. After Taberner House was demolished in 2014–2015, the former site was redeveloped, with completion expected in late 2021. The new housing created extended into the Queen's Gardens itself, and there was some concern that the former urban ornamental park had effectively been absorbed into the new project for the use of the residents.

Queen's Lawn

The Queen's Lawn is a green lawned area situated at the centre of Imperial College London's South Kensington campus, next to the Queen's Tower and immediately to the north of Imperial College Road. It provides an open space of 1,600 sq metres, and is surrounded by the Abdus Salam Library, and the Sherfield administration, Chemistry, and Skempton buildings. It is often the site of college events, including student bands, fairs, and balls, as well as student activism. In April 2006, the Imperial College student newspaper Felix reported that the college was seeking permission of Westminster City Council to develop part of the lawn into a three-storey modular building, however this has not come to pass. A weekly farmer's market is held on Tuesdays, and Queen's Lawn was also the site of a world record attempt for the largest jelly mosaic. A diagonal path was built across the lawn in 2021. References
Queen's Market

Queen's Market, also known as Queen's Road Market, and Green Street Market, is a historic street market in the London Borough of Newham. It lies adjacent to Green Street and Upton Park tube station. The street market originated in Green Street at the boundary between East Ham and West Ham in the late Victorian era when the new suburb of East Ham began to be developed. Originally the stall holders were English Cockney, Gypsy communities and Jewish traders from Whitechapel and the East End, selling clothing and vegetables. The traders were pushed into Queen's Road in 1904 to stop them obstructing the main road and to allow for the passage of trams. It was not until 1925 that the borough obtained statutory powers to regulate street markets. Since the late 1960s and 1970s South Asians from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Asian-Africans started moving families into homes locally and set up stalls and shops along Green Street and inside Queen's Market. Today Queen's Market has a specialist retail offer of South Asian and African food and textiles. Queen's is one of London's most ethnically diverse street markets serving communities from African, Afro-Caribbean, South Asian, South American and newer European communities with affordable and culturally-appropriate food and clothes. In the 1960s the mock-Brutalist exterior around the markets space frame structure was covered with a roof, making it one of London's few covered street markets. The market is popular, serving visitors beyond Newham and remains the most successful publicly owned street market in Newham. It is open four days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday) and has started a Sunday market selling second-hand goods. In November 2006, in the face of a vigorous local campaign of opposition, Newham Council proposed a redevelopment of the existing market site which was to include a supermarket and luxury housing above a much smaller covered market. Following the local campaign, in May 2009 then Mayor of London Boris Johnson directed Newham Council to refuse planning permission to redevelop the market. A notable trader at the Queen's is Muhammad Shahid Nazir, more commonly known as the One Pound Fish Man. He rose to fame as a fish trader at the Queen's Market through his composition of a market trader's song. It became a viral hit through shoppers at the Queen's Market recording him and uploading to YouTube. It gave Nazir a record deal, with his single released on 7 December 2012.
