Самопожертвование (статуя)

«Самопожертвование» (англ. Self Sacrifice) или статуя леди Годивы (англ. Lady Godiva statue) — конная статуя леди Годивы в Бродгейте, Ковентри. Статуя сделана из бронзы, а её постамент из портлендского камня. История Первоначально статуя была заказана в 1936 году Уильямом Бассет-Грином, местным богатым бизнесменом, но скульптор сэр Уильям Рейд Дик смог создать масштабный макет скульптуры только в 1940 год. Рейд Дику пришлось работать над статуей во время Второй мировой войны, чтобы создать полномасштабную модель статуи. После войны статуя была отлита и помещена на постамент, прежде чем, наконец, была открыта Пегги З. Дуглас 22 октября 1949 года. Статуя была украшена флагами Великобритании и Соединённых Штатов Америки поскольку миссис Дуглас была женой американского посла Льюиса Уильямса Дугласа. Первоначально статуя была установлена лицом на юг, но в 1989 году её повернули на запад во время строительства торгового центра Cathedral Lanes. Тогда же над статуей возвели навес, который сняли в 2008 году. Описание Статуя изображает леди Годиву, которая едет обнажённой по городу в знак протеста против гнетущего налога своего мужа. На постаменте написаны отрывки из поэмы Альфреда Теннисона «Годива», а также посвящение Уильяма Бассетта-Грина Леди Годиве и жителям Ковентри. Галерея Примечания

History Parts of the current building, including the nave, north transept and tower, date from the 13th century but some aspects, such as the Norman south door with tympanum, provide evidence of an earlier church on the site.

Architecture The limestone building has stone slate roofs. It consists of a nave which a north transept and porch, chancel and tower. The spire above the tower can be seen for miles on the Cotswold escarpment. A stone carving on the wall of the church has been suggested to be a Sheela na gig.

The octagonal font and altar rails are from the 15th or 16th century. The double piscina is thought to date from the reign of Edward I.

Stoke St Michael's Church, Coventry

Stoke St Michael's is the Church of England parish church of Stoke, Coventry which continues to serve as a place of worship in the community since its foundation in the 12th century by the Earl of Chester. The church is situated on the Walsgrave Road (A4600) east of Coventry city centre. History The foundation of the church is said to date to 1100 when Hugh d'Avranches, the first Earl of Chester, built a church on the site. In the reign of King Stephen the fourth Earl of Chester, Ranulph, handed this original Stoke St Michaels over to the Priory of St Mary which sent out priests to take services there. Nothing of this original building remains. The oldest parts of the church today are the west bays of the nave and the tower, which date back to the 14th century. This 14th century church consisted of a tower, a short nave and south aisle and a chancel projecting to the east. In the 19th century the church was extended to support a larger population in the parish, first by the addition of a north aisle and a gallery, then in 1861 by a major rebuilding. This consisted of doubling the length of the nave and aisles, and constructing a new chancel. Further building works and modernisation took place through the 20th and 21st centuries. The church was Grade II* listed in 1955. Bells The tower originally held a ring of three bells, but this was replaced by a ring of five in 1902 which was gradually augmented until reaching a full ring of eight in 1905. The first peal on the eight was rung on the 21st February 1908 for the wedding of Joshua Perkins, who donated the bells to the church. References

Old Blue Coat School, Coventry

The Old Blue Coat School is a building in the city centre of Coventry, England. It was built in 1856 on the site of the Priory of St Mary, and is currently used by the Holy Trinity Church. History The Blue Coat School was founded in the early 18th century to provide housing, food and education for girls in Coventry until they were 16 years old. It originally occupied the north-west tower of the Priory of St Mary, the only part to survive the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The school buildings were extended and modified through the late 18th and early 19th centuries, but were in poor condition when a major rebuilding took place in 1856–7. The building as it stands today was designed by James Murray in a Gothic style to resemble a French château. The school occupied the building until 1964 when it moved to a new site in Terry Road, Coventry. The building lay empty and fell into disrepair until 2000, when it was renovated for use by the nearby Holy Trinity Church. The building was Grade II* listed on 5 February 1955, for reasons of architectural interest, historical interest and group value with the other buildings on the site of the old priory. References
