St Winwaloe's Church, Gunwalloe

The Church of Saint Winwaloe is the Grade I listed parish church of Gunwalloe in Cornwall, England. History The church is in the Church of England Diocese of Truro and is dedicated to Saint Winwaloe. It is likely to have been standing since at least the 15th century due to its characteristic three hall church design, although some parts can be dated back to the 13th century, and one of the fonts is believed to be Norman. The small cross in the churchyard was found in the 19th century and taken to Penrose. At a later date it was placed in the churchyard. The church was used to film a wedding scene in The Lady of Pendower in 1934. As part of the preparations, a track 130 feet (40 m) long was built to move the film camera along as the characters exited the church to achieve a tracking shot. Bell tower The church has a detached bell tower, similar to those at Feock and Gwennap, which may date from before the 15th century. The bell tower uses a set of six batons laid out similar to piano keys, and three medieval bells. These were recast in 1926. Parish status The church is in a joint parish with St Corentine's Church, Cury. The Rev. Sandys Wason was perpetual curate of both Cury and Gunwalloe from 1905 to 1920.

St Mary's Church, Marlborough

St Mary's Church is the Church of England parish church in the town of Marlborough, Wiltshire, England. The church stands at the east end of the town's High Street. Founded in the 12th century, it was partly rebuilt after a fire of 1653, and extended in 1874. It is a Grade I listed building. History Two churches were mentioned at Marlborough in 1091, and in 1223 the bishop of Salisbury took both St Mary's and St Peter's under his jurisdiction. St Mary's was the church for the eastern part of the borough, while St Peter's, at the other end of the High Street, served the western part. Building The present church is built of ashlar and rubble, with ashlar dressings; the tower is ashlar. In the west wall of a tower is a repositioned 12th-century doorway or arch, and inside the church are fragments of 11th-century stonework including parts of corbels. The tower was added in the 15th century, and in that century and the early 16th the aisles were rebuilt and extended. The town suffered a large fire in 1653 which destroyed the roof and the interior of the church, and damaged the Norman arcades. Subsequently the north arcade was merged with the nave – a Norman respond survives at the west end – and the south arcade was rebuilt as five rounded arches, described by Pevsner as "eminently interesting". Galleries were added to the nave in 1707 and the chancel was rebuilt in 1873-4 to designs by G.E. Street. The south chapel was restored as a memorial after the First World War. Further restoration was undertaken in 1955–7. Of the eight bells in the tower, one is from 1653 and two are from the 18th century. The seventh and eighth bells were cast in 1969 from the discarded peal of St Peter's church. The building was designated as Grade I listed in 1949. Parish The benefices of the two Marlborough parishes were united in 1924, and the parishes were united in 1952 to form the parish of Saint Mary the Virgin with Saint Peter and Saint Paul. St Peter's church was declared redundant in 1974 and later became a community centre and events venue. Today the parish is served by the Marlborough Anglican Team, which also covers St George's, Manton (to the west of Marlborough) and St John the Baptist, Mildenhall (east).

Chazey Court Barn

Chazey Court Barn is a 17th-century Grade I listed building in the town of Reading in England. It forms part of the Chazey Court Farm complex and is situated close to the Thames at the western end of The Warren in the suburb of Caversham. The barn is a large 7 bay building with a steep roof, built of red brick. It displays a very similar construction style to Mapledurham House, an Elizabethan stately home some 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the north-west of the barn. The barn is categorised by English Heritage as being in very bad condition, subject to immediate risk of further rapid deterioration or loss of fabric, and with no solution agreed with the owners. It is not in use, and has visible structural cracking, whilst the gable has temporary shoring. In early 2020 it was reported that the owners were to be issued with a final notice by Reading Borough Council, indicating that if necessary the council would carry out the necessary works on behalf of the owner and pass on the costs to them. Work undertaken by Oxford Archaeology and using dendrochronology techniques dates the construction of the barn to 1611 or shortly thereafter, and also indicates that the other buildings of the farm complex date from a similar date or later. Research undertaken by the Oxfordshire Record Society in 1925 suggest that the farmhouse was the site of the Manor of Mapledurham Chazey, acquired in 1582 by the owners of the adjoining estate of Mapledurham Gurney in order to create the current Mapledurham estate. They surmise that the new owners, who also built Mapledurham House at around the same time, demolished the old manorial buildings and replaced them with new farm buildings. Gallery References
Abbey Gateway, Reading

The Abbey Gateway was originally the inner gateway of Reading Abbey, which today is a large, mostly ruined abbey in the center of the town of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire. The gateway adjoins Reading Crown Court and Forbury Gardens and is one of only two abbey buildings that have survived intact, the other being the Hospitium of St John the Baptist. It is a grade I listed building, and includes a porter's lodge on the ground floor and a large open room above the gate. The gateway marked the division between the area of the abbey open to the public and the section accessible only to monks, with the abbot's lodging just inside the gateway. The gateway thus became the meeting place between the abbot, who commanded considerable powers within the town, and the people of the town. In 1539, after the dissolution, Hugh Faringdon, the last abbot of Reading was hanged, drawn, and quartered outside the abbey gateway. Whilst the other buildings of the abbey were stripped for lead and stone, the abbot's lodging was turned into a royal palace on the orders of Edward Seymour, who was acting as lord protector as King Edward VI was still a child. The abbey gateway was also retained, as the entrance to the royal residence. Edward's sister, Queen Elizabeth I, was a regular visitor to the royal palace, but during the Civil War the old abbot’s lodgings were damaged, and were not used as a royal palace again. Eventually the palace was demolished and new houses were built alongside the gateway. In the late 18th century one of them was home to the Reading Ladies’ Boarding School, attended amongst others by the novelist Jane Austen. The school used the room above the gateway as a classroom. The gateway was heavily restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott, after a partial collapse during a storm in 1861. In 1900 a series of twelve heads, sculpted by Andrew Ohlson, were added to the gateway. In 2010, the gateway was closed and fencing erected when some of the decorative stonework came loose and fell into the street. It reopened in 2018 after an extensive restoration, which was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The room above the gateway is now used by Reading Museum as part of its learning programme for local schools, whilst the arch below is available for use by pedestrian and cycle traffic. The Reading Half Marathon, held every year in March or April, passes under the gateway at around the 7 miles (11 km) stage. The gateway includes a stone head of the last abbot of Reading, Hugh Faringdon, carved by Alex Wenham, which received a commendation in the 2022 Natural Stone Awards. This carved head was added to commemorate the 900th anniversary of Reading Abbey in 2021. Gallery References External links Media related to Abbey Gateway, Reading at Wikimedia Commons
St Gwinear's Church, Gwinear

St Gwinear's Church, Gwinear is a Grade I listed church in the Church of England in Gwinear, Cornwall. History Gwinear church is dedicated to St Winierus (in Irish Fingar), according to legend the leader of the Irish missionaries who came to this district in the 6th-century. At Roseworthy there was once a holy well and chapel of the saint, which was also the site of the most splendid Celtic cross of Cornwall (now at Lanherne). The advowson of Gwinear belonged to the manor of Drannack and was sold in 1311 by the Bevilles to Sir Richard de Stapeldon (d.1326) in trust for his brother's foundation at Oxford, later Exeter College. The parish church of St Gwinear is of the 13th and 14th centuries (tower mid 15th century, built of granite in three stages). There are three aisles: the south aisle which is shorter than the nave, an inner north aisle, and further north the Arundell Aisle. Malachy Hitchins, astronomer, became Vicar of St Hilary in 1775; in 1785, he also became Vicar of Gwinear and retained both these livings till his death, which took place on 28 March 1809 at St Hilary. The chancel was restored by John Dando Sedding in 1870. The roof was repaired in oak and raised to its old pitch. New stone coping and a cross were added to the gable. The five-light window was rebuilt copying from the original. New oak chancel seating was provided. The church was restored between 1878 and 1879. The aisle and roofs were restored with the four roofs costing £689. A new three-light window was placed at the west end of the south aisle. The chancel screen was repaired and re-erected in its original position, enclosing the western bay of the chancel. New seating of pitch pine was provided. The floors were laid with concrete and the aisles laid with slates of Delabole stone. The church was lit with Hesperus lamps provided by Jones and Wallis of Birmingham. The Rural Dean, Revd F Hockin of Phillack provided a low screen to separate the Arundel chapel. It was reopened on 25 November 1879 and the new bells were rung for the first time on 23 January 1880. Parish status The church is in a joint parish with, St Elwyn's Church, Hayle St Erth's Church, St Erth St Felicitas and St Piala's Church, Phillack St Gothian's Church, Gwithian Organ The church contained an organ by Hele & Co. The opening recital was given by Hubert Stanley Middleton, organist of Truro Cathedral, on 14 January 1925. This was replaced by an organ from Tregajorran Wesleyan Chapel dating from 1922 by Griffen and Stroud. It was installed in St Gwinear's Church in 1993 by Lance Foy.

Holy Trinity Church, St Austell

Holy Trinity Church, St Austell is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in St Austell, Cornwall. History The church was originally dedicated to St Austol, a Breton saint associated with St Meven, but is now dedicated to the Holy Trinity. By 1150 it had been appropriated to the Priory of Tywardreath by the Cardinhams, a situation which continued until 1535. There was originally a Norman church here, of which some remains may be seen. The present church is of the 15th century and is large because the mediaeval parish was also a large one: the tower is impressive. All four outside walls bear sculptural groups in carved niches: the Twelve Apostles in three groups on the north, east and south; the Holy Trinity above the Annunciation and below that the Risen Christ between two saints on the west. The tower can be dated to between 1478 and 1487 by the arms of Bishop Peter Courtenay, and the walls are faced in Pentewan stone. The tower and other parts of the church have an interior lining of granite. On the south side of the church, a formerly separate chantry was incorporated into the church when it was extended. The church was restored in 1872 by George Edmund Street. Additional work was undertaken by the architect George Fellowes Prynne between 1896 and 1924. The tower was restored in 1896 at a cost of £300, as well as the restoration of a Chapel, and work to the baptistry between 1892 and 1894. In 1891, murals by the late Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Arthur Fellowes Prynne, were painted on east side of the main chancel window. Prynne was the brother of the George Fellowes Prynne, and the work was carried out in 1891 as a memorial to John Coode, of Polcarne, and his daughter, Evelyn Carey — a plaque behind the pier adjacent to the organ recorded this donation. The work was carried out by Messrs. Fouracre and Watson, of Stonehouse, Plymouth, from Prynne's designs. The two panels represent the Nativity and the Lord's Supper. "The painting of the side walls and the decoration of the roof, including the illuminated oaken arch, were executed at the same time by the same firm, and under the same direction". The Holy Trinity burial ground was closed in the 1880s; all remains inside and outside the church have been removed. Parish status The church is in a joint parish with St Levan’s Church, Porthpean All Saints’ Church, Pentewan Bells The bells were recast in 1810. These served the church for 92 years until 1902 when it was necessary to recast them. The 8 bells were recast by John Taylor & Co. The tenor weight is 2,077 pounds (942 kg). Organ The organ was built by Henry Bryceson and Brothers in 1880 at a cost of £600. It was later modified by Hele & Co in 1914 and Maurice Eglinton in 1973. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. Organists References
St Mildred's Church, Tenterden

St Mildred's Church is a Church of England parish church in Tenterden in the borough of Ashford in Kent, England. The church dates from about the 12th century and is Grade I heritage listed. The main tower of the church is 39.6 metres (130 feet) high and was constructed in 1461. It is dedicated to a prominent Anglo-Saxon saint, Saint Mildred—a 7th-century princess who served as the abbess of the nunnery at Minster-in-Thanet. History Construction of the church first began in the 12th Century and was expanded multiple times across the next few centuries. Most notably in 1461, when a steeple was added due to an influx of money from when Tenterden was at its height of the wool trade. In 2016, the Tenterden, Rother and Oxney Benefice was formed that aimed to bring together the three parishes of the Tenterden Benefice (Tenterden, St Michael's and Smallhythe) and the six parishes of the Rother and Oxney Benefice (Appledore, Stone, Ebony, Wittersham, Newenden and Rolvenden). Interior The church features stained glasswork behind the altar and stained glass on the windows on the sides of the church. The nave features arches with marble pillars running along the sides of the wooden pews. In more recent years the church was refurbished to now include glass doors at the front entrance, chairs instead of wooden pews and the repainting of the interior. Exterior The main tower of the church is built from Bethersden Marble, a limestone that contains thousands of brightly coloured shells. A graveyard is also present on the left-hand side of the church. References
St Winwaloe’s Church (Poundstock)

St Winwaloe’s Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der anglikanischen Church of England, das sich in Poundstock, einer kleinen Ortschaft südlich von Bude in Cornwall, befindet. Die Kirche ist seit 1961 als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade I eingestuft. Das Guildhouse auf dem Kirchengelände wird durch die Denkmälerverwaltung als „Hervorragend erhaltenes mittelalterliches Zunfthaus“ eingeordnet. Geschichte Die Kirche St Winwaloe ist dem bretonischen Heiligen Guénolé in der lokalen Abschleifung als Winwaloe geweiht. Das südliche Querschiff als ältester Teil der heute zweischiffigen Kirche im spätgotischen Perpendicular-Stil stammt wahrscheinlich aus dem 13. Jahrhundert oder früher. Es war möglicherweise Teil einer älteren Kirche auf kreuzförmigem Grundriss. Das Langhaus, das nördliche Seitenschiff, der Chor und der Westturm mit Zinnenbekrönung wurden im späten 15. oder frühen 16. Jahrhundert errichtet. Die den Chorraum im Norden flenkierende Marienkapelle („Lady Chapel“) wurde wahrscheinlich etwas später als der Chor geschaffem, als die Arkaden errichtet wurden, die den Chor zur Kapelle öffnen. Eine grundlegende Restaurierung des Gotteshauses erfolgte im Jahr 1896 durch G. H. Fellowes Prynne. Der Westturm und die Westwand des Nordschiffs bestehen aus Mauerwerk aus Werkstein-Quadern. Das Nordschiff, das Querhaus, die Vorhalle sowie der Chorraum sind aus Bruchstein mit Einfassungen aus Werkstein und Granit errichtet. Das gotische Guildhouse südlich der Kirche am Friedhof wurde im 15. Jahrhundert errichtet, eim Umbau erfolgte vermutlich Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts. Eine Restaurierung fand 1919 unter E. H. Sedding statt. Das Mauerwerk besteht aus Bruchstein bis zur Höhe des Obergeschosses, darüber aus weiß getünchtem Lehm- oder Stampflehmmauerwerk mit einem Schieferdach mit Giebeln an der Nord- und Südseite sowie einem mittigen Backsteinschornstein. Ursprünglicher Grundriss als offene Halle mit zehn Jochen; Einbau von Kamin und Obergeschoss vermutlich Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts. Der Zugang zum Obergeschoss vom Kirchhof an der Nordgiebelseite; zwei ebenerdige Zugänge an der Westseite über einen ummauerten Zugangsweg mit Steinabdeckung. Die Beleuchtung erfolgt durchgehend durch vierflügelige Holzfenster mit Pfosten („Mullions“), deren Form auf das frühe 16. Jahrhundert hindeutet, diese wurden größtenteils 1919 instand gesetzt. In den Kirchenbüchern wird das Gebäude als „Parish Alms House“ (kirchliches Armenhaus), „Church House“ (Gemeindehaus) und „Poor House“ (Armenhaus) bezeichnet. Im Jahr 1811 wurde es von acht Bedürftigen bewohnt. 1858 diente das Obergeschoss als Schulraum, während das Erdgeschoss als Raum für den Küster sowie als Stallung genutzt wurde. Seit dem Jahr 1961 ist das Haus als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade I eingestuft. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
