Церковь Святого Иоанна (Уотфорд)

Церковь Святого Иоанна Апостола и Евангелиста (англ. The Church of St John the Apostle and Evangelist) ― англиканская приходская церковь в городе Уотфор, графство Хартфордшир, Великобритания. Располагается на улице Саттон-роуд. Относится к епархии Сент-Олбанс. Является одной из ведущих церквей, приверженных направлению англокатолицизма на юго-востоке Англии. История Более старая приходская Церковь Святой Марии была восстановлена в 1871 году, а на период проведения строительных работ на территории церковного кладбище была возведена временная оловянная церковь. После окончания работ по реставрации здания временная церковь была перенесена на другой земельный участок на улице Сотерон-роуд (ныне Саттон-роуд). Она была вновь открыта 23 ноября 1873 года и была освящена в честь Святого Иоанна. Временное здание, рассчитанное на 450 человек, привлекало все большее число людей. Её клир в своё время придерживался направления «высокой церкви» ― хотя дальнейшее развитие в сторону католических обрядов началось позже. Крыша оловянной церкви не была водонепроницаемой, и когда на улице шёл дождь, большое количество влаги проникало внутрь. Вскоре прихожанами была выдвинута инициатива о постройке новой церкви, после чего последовал сбор необходимых средств. Местные меценаты предоставили участки земли, архитектурные планы были составлены и утверждены, и в конце концов 17 июля 1891 года был заложен первый камень в фундамент новой церкви. Два года и два дня спустя, 19 июля 1893 года, лорд-епископ Сент-Олбанс Джон Воган Фестинг освятил её здание. Строительство обошлось в 11 000 фунтов ― значительная сумма в то время. В мае 1904 года Церковь Святого Иоанна стала самостоятельной приходской церковью. Церковь была построена по проекту архитектора Эли Эмлина Уайта. С 1983 года здание церкви имеет статус объекта исторической важности II степени. Начальная школа Церковь тесно сотрудничает с Министерством образования и епархией Сент-Олбанс в создании новой церковной начальной школы в приходе. Официальное одобрение было получено от Министерства образования в 2014 году, а открытие приходской школы состоялось в сентябре 2016 года.

St John's Church, Workington

St John's Church is in Washington Street, Workington, Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Solway, the archdeaconry of West Cumberland, and the diocese of Carlisle. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. It is a Commissioners' church, having received a grant towards its construction from the Church Building Commission. History St John's was built between 1822 and 1823, and was designed by Thomas Hardwick, originally as a chapel of ease. A grant of £10,488 (equivalent to £1,080,000 as of 2025) was given towards its construction by the Church Building Commission. The tower, originally built in wood, was rebuilt in stone in 1847 by Nelson of Carlisle. The altar was originally at the west end, and the church was re-orientated in 1897–99 by W. and C. A. Bassett-Smith, placing the altar at the east end. In 1930–31 this was reverted to its original position by Ninian Comper. Architecture Exterior The church is constructed in hammer-dressed calciferous sandstone with an ashlar plinth, pilasters and eaves. The roof is in green slate. Its architectural style is Neoclassical, and the design is based on that of St Paul's, Covent Garden. The tower and portico are at the east end. The tower is square at the base, then becomes octagonal, with pairs of pilasters, and has a round cap at the top. The portico is supported by two large columns. Along the sides of the church are tall round-headed windows. Interior The interior of the church is in five bays. There is no chancel. There are galleries on three sides of the church, supported on thin fluted cast iron columns. The plaster ceiling is flat, and is decorated with ribbing and coats of arms. At the west end is a completely gilded Italianate baldacchino. This was designed by Comper, as were the cover of the font, the stained glass in the east window, and the organ case, which is in Ionic style. The two manual organ was built in 1905 by Richard Heslop, and was rebuilt in 1961 by Rushworth and Dreaper.

St John's Church, Ealing

St John's, Ealing, is an Anglican church in West Ealing, London, England. The church has been designated as a Grade II listed building. History Built in 1876 by Edwin Henry Horne, it burned down in 1920, and was rebuilt and re-opened in 1923. St John's first two vicars were, unusually, father (Julius Summerhayes) succeeded by son (Julius James Summerhayes), and between them they pastored the church for the first 64 years of its life. According to church documents, in the late 19th century the church founded the local cottage hospital and St John's School, and in early years of the 20th century recorded regular congregations of more than 1000 at both morning and evening services. Notable clergy A notable curate at St John's around 1927 was Eric Nash ("Bash") who went on to lay the foundations for the postwar growth in British evangelical Christianity by founding the Iwerne camps that resulted in a number of boys from leading public schools becoming Christians and subsequently entering Christian ministry. In more recent years, Sally Hitchiner was curate from 2009 to 2012, during which time she developed a role as a media commentator and was frequency seen on television discussing religious affairs. Current activities St John's hosts a Sunday congregation. STJOHNS@TEN is conventional contemporary evangelical Anglican worship. The Church also offers an early evening Cafe Church which is a fresh expression with many members who are or have recently been homeless or vulnerably housed. The Maze is a Sunday evening youth group. The Arabic-speaking Living Waters Arabic Church meets on Sunday afternoon, as does the Burmese-speaking Myanmar Christian Fellowship. There are also a large number of midweek groups and activities. St John's has a "sister" church, St James in West Ealing (currently closed), founded in 1900, disused later in the century and "re-planted" with a new congregation in the late 1980s St John's is also the venue of the Ealing Soup Kitchen which has been supported by many local churches providing meals each Saturday and Sunday since 1973.

St John's College Old Library, Cambridge

The Old Library of St John's College, Cambridge connects to Third Court, and was built between 1623 and 1628, largely through the donations and efforts of two members of the College, Valentine Carey, Bishop of Exeter and John Williams, Lord-Keeper and Bishop of Lincoln. History When the College first opened in 1516, its Library was situated in what was then the College's only court, First Court. It occupied the first floor to the south of the Great Gate. Just over 100 years later, the Master of St John's received notification from Bishop Carey that Bishop John Williams, while not wishing to 'be counted the builder or founder' of a new library, was prepared to be a 'contributor towardes it'. The building's shell was completed in 1624, a date which appears on the south gable of the western oriel window. The building is constructed in the Jacobean Gothic style, and measures 110 feet by 30 feet wide. The tall two-light windows are a very early example of Gothic Revival, but the façade is Renaissance-inspired. The library contains 42 bookcases arranged at right angles to the north and south walls. Visiting The Old Library is no longer used as a working space, but opens during specific periods to College members and their guests, and for occasional public exhibitions. Researchers can make appointments to consult items from the Library's collections. External links 'The Old Library' on the St John's College website

St John's College Old Library, Cambridge

Old Library vid St John's College, Cambridge, ansluter till Third Court, och byggdes mellan 1623 och 1628, till stor del genom donationer och ansträngningar från två medlemmar av colleget, Valentine Carey, biskop av Exeter och John Williams, lord-keeper och biskop av Lincoln. Historia När högskolan först öppnade 1516 låg dess bibliotek i vad som då var skolans enda innergård, First Court. Den upptog första våningen söder om den stora porten. Drygt 100 år senare fick rektorn vid St John's ett meddelande från biskop Carey att biskop John Williams, även om han inte ville "räknas som byggare eller grundare" av ett nytt bibliotek, var beredd att vara en "bidragsgivare till det" och donerade totalt 2 011 pund till bibliotekets totala kostnad på 3 000 pund. Byggnadens yttre stod färdigt 1624, ett årtal som finns på södra gaveln av det västra burspråksfönstret. Byggnaden är byggd i jakobinsk gotisk stil och mäter 110 fot gånger 30 fot bred. De höga fönstren är ett mycket tidigt exempel på nygotisk renässans, men fasaden är renässansinspirerad. I biblioteket finns 42 bokhyllor som står i rät vinkel mot norra och södra väggarna. Bibliotekets burspråk vetter mot floden Cam och har bokstäverna "ILCS" på sig, som står för Iohannes Lincolniensis Custos Sigilli, eller "John of Lincoln, Keeper of the Seal". Den ursprungliga avsikten med skolan hade varit att uppföra en elegant klassisk byggnad som stöddes av pelarportiker, men biskop Williams insisterade på en mer traditionell design. Således, även om skolan gör anspråk på alltför få exempel på neoklassisk design, står biblioteket som ett av de tidigaste exemplen på engelsk nygotisk arkitektur. Besök Old Library används inte längre som arbetsutrymme, utan öppnas under vissa perioder för skolans medlemmar och deras gäster, och för tillfälliga offentliga utställningar. Forskare kan boka tid för att ta del av material ur bibliotekets samlingar. Referenser Externa länkar 'The Old Library' on the St John's College website
St John's Jerusalem

St John's Jerusalem or Sutton-at-Hone Preceptory is a National Trust property at Sutton-at-Hone, Kent, England which includes the 13th century chapel of the Knights Hospitaller and a garden moated by the River Darent. The chapel and garden are open to the public. History It was established in 1199 as a Commandry of the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem until it was sold to Sir Maurice Denys, the Receiver of the Order at the time of the Dissolution. The mediaeval sections of the property were predominantly constructed around 1234, when Henry III procured the felling of five oak trees from Tonbridge Forest. By 1388, the property had ceased to be used as a preceptory. Naturalist Abraham Hill established an orchard here in 1670, with apples and pears from Herefordshire and Devon that were used for making cider and perry. Varieties that were introduced into Kent as a result included the Kentish Pippin. From 1755 it was the home of the county historian of Kent, Edward Hasted. His excessive expenditure on the property may have been responsible for his bankruptcy in 1796, and subsequent term of imprisonment of five years. The building was given to the nation in 1943 by Sir Stephen Tallents, and was open to the public twice a week in the 1950s. The property has been a Grade II* listed building since 1 August 1952 and was scheduled under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 as a site of national importance by the Secretary of State for National Heritage on 5 September 1994. It is now let from the National Trust as a private residence. Public access is to the chapel and garden only. Priors of the Hospital Radyngton, John, fl. 1396 Botell, Robert, fl. 1460 Weston, John, fl. 1485 Grounds The moat dates from the 13th century, and surrounds an artificial island of 22,200m2. The moat is bridged three times, including by a Grade II listed 19th century brick footbridge. The grounds contain a cedar of Lebanon. Only the south-western section of the moat is part of the River Darent. The moat has, however, suffered from environmental problems. It ran dry in both 1976 and 1988 and was affected by sedimentation and pollution after a recent dredging of the Darent. The dredging was attempted in order to foster the appearance of a 1930s Country Life setting. However, it had to be halted after it was discovered that scheduled monument consent had not been obtained. Although it was subsequently granted, the sustainability of such techniques has been called into question. The garden also hosts a former fishpond, now occupied by marshlands. Before the dissolution of the monasteries, the lawn to the north of the property was used as burial ground for the chapel, but thereafter as a midden.

St John's Gate, Clerkenwell

St John's Gate, in Clerkenwell, Middlesex, now within central London, is one of the few tangible remains from Clerkenwell's monastic past. It was built in 1504 by Prior Thomas Docwra as the south entrance to the inner precinct of Clerkenwell Priory, the English headquarters of the Knights of the Order of St John (known as the Knights Hospitaller). The substructure is of brick, while the north and south façades are of stone. After centuries of decay and much rebuilding, very little of the stone facing is original. Heavily restored in the 19th century, the Gate today is in large part a Victorian recreation, the handiwork of a succession of architects—William Pettit Griffith, R. Norman Shaw, and J. Oldrid Scott. History The Priory was established in the 1140s in Clerkenwell as the English headquarters of the Order. The Order was dissolved by King Henry VIII as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries when its lands and wealth were seized by the Crown. The Order was re-established for a brief period by that king's Roman Catholic daughter, Queen Mary, who granted it a Royal Charter. However, when her Protestant half-sister Queen Elizabeth I succeeded her, the Order in England was dissolved once again. The Order was re-established in England during the Victorian era. Uses The building has many historical associations, most notably as the original printing-house for Edward Cave's pioneering monthly, The Gentleman's Magazine, and sometime workplace of Samuel Johnson. From 1701 to 1709 it was the childhood home of the painter William Hogarth, whose father Richard Hogarth in 1703 opened a coffee house there, known as "Hogarth's Coffee House", which offered Latin lessons together with coffee. For many years the building was used as a tavern. In 1831 John Frost established a medical hospital (St John's Hospital) in the building, the original mediaeval usage of that word signifying a guest-house. The Gate was acquired in the 1870s by the revived Order of St John and was gradually converted to serve as headquarters of both the Order and its subsidiary, the St John Ambulance Brigade. It now also houses the Museum of the Order of St John. Much of its Tudor-style interior, including the Council Chamber over the arch, is attributed to Scott's Victorian restoration in the 1880s and 1890s. St John's Gate was voted an iconic landmark to represent Islington for the London Olympics 2012. Stone plaque A modern stone plaque is affixed to the building inscribed as follows: St John's Gate. This building was the main entrance to the Grand Priory of the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. The original gatehouse was erected about the year 1148 & was burnt down by Wat Tyler in 1381. It was restored by Prior John Redington & was finally rebuilt in its present form by Prior Thomas Docwra in 1504. The Grand Priory buildings were appropriated by the crown in 1559. The order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem resumed possession of this gatehouse in 1873.

St John's Gate (Clerkenwell)

St John's Gate (en français, Porte Saint Jean), dans le quartier de Clerkenwell à Londres, est l'un des rares vestiges tangibles du passé monastique de Clerkenwell. Il a été construit en 1504 par le prieur Thomas Docwra comme entrée sud de l'enceinte intérieure du prieuré de Clerkenwell, le prieuré des chevaliers de Saint-Jean (connus sous le nom de chevaliers Hospitaliers). Description La sous-structure est en brique, tandis que les façades nord et sud sont en pierre. Après des siècles de délabrement et de reconstruction importante, il reste peu de parement de pierre d'origine. Fortement restaurée au XIXe siècle, la porte est aujourd'hui en grande partie une recréation victorienne, l'œuvre d'une succession d'architectes — William P. Griffiths, R. Norman Shaw et J. Oldrid Scott. Usages Le bâtiment abrite de nombreuses associations historiques, notamment l'imprimerie originale du mensuel pionnier d'Edward Cave, The Gentleman's Magazine, et parfois lieu de travail de Samuel Johnson. De 1701 à 1709, c'était la maison du jeune peintre William Hogarth. En 1703, son père Richard y ouvrit un café, le "Hogarth's Coffee House", qui proposait des cours de latin avec le café. Pendant de nombreuses années, le bâtiment a été utilisé comme taverne. La Gate a été acquise dans les années 1870 par l’Ordre de Saint-Jean qui avait été rétabli, et a été progressivement reconvertie pour servir de siège à la fois à l’Ordre et à sa filiale, Ambulance Saint-Jean. Il abrite désormais également le musée de l'ordre de Saint-Jean. Une grande partie de son intérieur est de style Tudor, comme la salle du Conseil au-dessus de l'arc. St John's Gate a été élu monument emblématique pour représenter Islington aux Jeux olympiques de Londres 2012.

Saint John's Gate

De Saint John's Gate is een van de weinige monastieke overblijfselen in het district Clerkenwell in Londen. De poort is een overblijfsel van de oude priorij van de Orde van Malta in Londen. Geschiedenis In 1504 gaf de prior, Thomas Docwra, opdracht tot de bouw van een nieuwe zuiderpoort van de priorij van de Orde van Malta. In de 19e eeuw is de poort gerestaureerd in de victoriaanse stijl. Begin 18e eeuw was het poortgebouw enige tijd het onderkomen van de schilder William Hogarth. Daarna herbergde het gebouw een heel lange tijd een taveerne. In 1870 herkreeg de Orde van Malta het poortgebouw terug en vestigde er een museum over de orde, het Museum of the Order of St John.
St John’s Lock

St John’s Lock ist die erste Schleuse der Themse in England. Es liegt nahe dem Ort Lechlade, Gloucestershire. Der Name der Schleuse stammt von einer Abtei, die 1250 gegründet wurde, aber nicht länger existiert. Die Schleuse wurde 1790 von der Thames Navigation Commission aus Stein gebaut. Das nächste Wehr flussabwärts liegt unterhalb der St John’s Bridge, wo der River Cole und der River Leach in die Themse münden. Es gibt eine Plastik von Vater Thames am Schleusenwärterhaus. Die Plastik wurde 1854 für die Anlage des Cyrstal Palace geschaffen. Später wurde sie zunächst an die Quelle der Themse verlegt und schließlich an der Schleuse aufgestellt. Geschichte Eine Schleuse wurde an dieser Stelle durch die Eröffnung des Trent and Severn Canal im November 1789 notwendig. Die Schleuse wurde von J. Nock 1790 gebaut. In der Anfangszeit gab es Beschwerden, dass die Gebühren von aufdringlichen Schiffern nicht gezahlt wurden. Das erste Schleusenwärterhaus wurde 1830 errichtet, da der Schleusenwärter gemäß den Regeln kein Gastwirt sein durfte und seine Wohnung im Trout Inn aufgeben musste. Der schlechte Zustand der Schleuse wurde 1857 gemeldet und 1867 wurde eine Reparatur durchgeführt. 1907 wurde die Schleuse erneuert und ein neues Schleusenwärterhaus auf der anderen Seite der Schleuse gebaut. Zugang zur Schleuse Die Schleuse kann leicht von der St John’s Bridge etwa 1,5 Kilometer außerhalb von Lechlade im Verlauf der A417 erreicht werden. Der Flussabschnitt oberhalb der Schleuse Der Fluss windet sich für rund 1,2 Kilometer bis nach Lechlade, wo er die Halfpenny Bridge passiert, die so heißt, weil ihre Passage früher Maut kostete. Etwa 800 Meter hinter Lechlade gibt es eine Verbindung zum ehemaligen Thames and Severn Canal, der die Themse mit dem River Severn über die Stroudwater Navigation und den Gloucester and Sharpness Canal verband. Der Thames and Severn Canal wird wieder hergestellt und so ist es möglich, dass die Schifffahrt jenseits von Lechlade wieder aufgenommen werden kann. Der River Coln mündet an der Kanalverbindung ebenfalls in die Themse, so dass es möglich ist, ein 70 Fuß langes Kanalboot mit Vorsicht zu wenden. Es gibt keine weiteren Schleusen oberhalb von Lechlade, das normalerweise als Ende der schiffbaren Themse gilt. Schifffahrt ist aber bis nach Cricklade möglich und kleine Boote können weitere 4,8 Kilometer nach Lechlade fahren, wenn der Wasserstand es zulässt. Der Thames Path führt am südlichen Ufer an Lechlade vorbei nach Inglesham und kreuzt den Fluss das nächste Mal an der Water Eaton Brücke.
