St George's Roman Catholic Church, York

St George's Roman Catholic church is located in the centre of the city of York, England, on George Street in the Diocese of Middlesbrough. The Church was designed by Joseph Hansom and was the first pro-Cathedral of the Diocese of Beverley. History The church takes its title from the medieval church of St George at Beanhills which was suppressed in 1547. The churchyard may still be seen opposite the present Catholic church and is the supposed burial place of Dick Turpin, the notorious 18th-century highwayman. A building fund of £1,200 had been raised to build a new church in York. This was to replace a brick chapel that was situated in Little Blake Street (now Duncombe Place). St George's was chiefly built to serve the immigrant Irish Catholic population of Walmgate. Opened in September 1850, it served as the pro-Cathedral of the Diocese of Beverley until St Wilfrid's opened in 1864. Architecture The church was designed by Joseph Hansom and his brother, Charles Francis Hansom in the Early Decorated style. The foundation stone was laid on 25 October 1849 and the building completed the following September. Joseph Hansom also designed the presbytery in 1858. The altar is of Caen stone and was moved forward from its original position in 1972. Another notable feature is the Rood Screen, a fine wood carving of Flemish work now positioned over the sacristy door. The East Window is based upon a Pugin design and the memorial windows of the Lady Chapel were made & decorated by the Barrett family, and financed by the Palmes family of Naburn, the Dolmans of Pocklington and the Coxes of Herefordshire.

History St Helen's Church a medieval church dedicated to 'St Helen' dating from the 13th century. It was heavily restored by the Rector, Canon Frederick Heathcote Sutton and the architect George Frederick Bodley between 1874 and 1876. The chancel (a rebuild of 1812) was entirely demolished by Bodley in 1874. He added the reredos in 1887. The bells were repaired and refurbished in 1881 by John Taylor of Loughborough. The wrought ironwork, gates, railings, candlesticks and candelabra were made by the village blacksmith, F. Coldron. Pevsner described the church as having "one of the most elegant spires of Lincolnshire". The spire although reduced in height in 1897 is commonly misquoted as 198 feet (60 m) high. According to a survey in 2011 by architect Julian Flannery, the spire is actually 167 feet (51 metres) high. Parts of the church date back to about 1290 though most dates back to about the late 14th century. There is a late 15th-century German painting of the Ascension and a piece of Anglo Saxon interlace stonework in the vestry.

St Helen's Church, St Helens, Isle of Wight

St. Helen's Church, St. Helens is a parish church in the Church of England located in St Helens on the Isle of Wight. History A priory at St Helens was founded after the Norman Conquest by French Benedictine monks. The previous Saxon church was rebuilt in Norman style to serve both the local parish and the new priory. The church was dedicated to St Helena, and the nearby village in due course was known by this name. The tower was added in the 13th century during the reign of Henry III. The Benedictine priory was dissolved in 1414. Henry VI granted the priory lands to Eton College on its foundation in 1440, and the college owned it until 1799. The original church of St. Helens was in a bad state as far back as the 16th century, according to the presentment of George Oglander, the centoner of St. Helens. By the 18th century it had become so ruinous that a new church was built and the old church allowed to go to ruin. The tower, a 13th-century structure, was the only part left standing, and can still be seen today. The garden at the rear of the old Church tower was the parish burial ground from the time of the first church until the 18th century. The tower was bricked up and painted white as a seamark for Navy ships in 1719. Apocryphal tales suggest that stones from the old church were often taken to be used to clean the decks of sailing ships, giving rise to the practice known as ‘holy-stoning’ the decks. Cromwell's Commissioners reported in 1656 that the "Church is washed by the sea to the foundations; fearing the fall thereof there have been endeavours to secure it with great charge". They recommended that "it be taken down ere it fall and set up in the midst of the Parish." It was sixty years before the new church was finally constructed safely inland. St Helens New Church The new church was built in 1717 about a mile inland. In 1831 the church was rebuilt, and in 1862 a new chancel was erected. The present church is a stone structure with brick dressings, and consists of an aisleless nave, with transepts, a chancel, and west tower with one bell. There is a mural tablet to Sir Nash Grose, who died in 1814, and his son Edward. Organ There was an organ was built in 1864 by Gray & Davison. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. This organ has been replaced by a larger instrument by Willis and Sons. References
