St Martin's Church, Kingsbury Episcopi

The Church of St Martin in Kingsbury Episcopi, Somerset, England, dates from the 14th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. The church, dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours, stands on the site of an earlier Saxon church of which no trace remains and boasts an ornate Somerset Tower, 99 feet (30 m) tall, made of stone from nearby Ham Hill. There is a four-bay aisled nave. Pevsner describes the chancel and chapels of the church as "gloriously lit" and advises visiting on a fine morning. He writes that the nave is older than the rest of the church, "no doubt of before 1400, and not yet infected with the later exuberance" of the Late Perpendicular style of the tower and other parts of St Martin's. Poyntz Wright suggests the 100 feet (30 m) high west tower was built in 1515. The four-stage tower is supported by buttresses and has bands of blank quatrefoils, and is surmounted by battlements with pinnacles. The church was renovated between 1845 and 1849. The parish is part of the benefice of Kingsbury Episcopi, East Lambrook and Hambridge within the deanery of Crewkerne and Ilminster.

Kościół św. Marii w Bridgwater

Kościół św. Marii w Bridgwater – parafialny kościół anglikański znajdujący się w Bridgwater, w hrabstwie Somerset w Wielkiej Brytanii. Wybudowany w XIII wieku w miejsce wcześniej istniejącej świątyni, z biegiem czasu rozbudowany. Iglicę wysoką na 35 m wybudowano w 1367. Historia Kościół został wybudowany w XIII wieku w miejscu wcześniej istniejącej świątyni, przebudowanej przez Wilhelma Briwiere. Północna elewacja oraz okna kościoła pochodzą z XIV wieku. W XV i XVI wieku dobudowano natomiast kaplice. W roku 1367, na szczycie wieży mierzącej 20 metrów, wybudowano iglicę o wysokości 34,938 metra. Podczas rebelii Monmoutha król Jakub II obserwował z wieży kościelnej ruchy wojsk w Westonzoyland przed bitwą w Sedgemoor. W roku 1814 w iglicę trafił piorun, naprawiono ją rok później. Zegar na fasadzie zainstalowano w roku 1869, zastępując stary zegar z roku 1393. Najstarszy z dzwonów pochodzi z roku 1617, późniejsze dzwony dodano w w. XVII i XVIII. Najnowszy dzwon dodano w roku 1868. Architektura Kościół, zbudowany na planie krzyża jest niski w stosunku do innych zabudowań, jednak obszerny i rozbudowany. Wysoka iglica jest zbudowana na zbyt niskiej wieży, by zdominować krajobraz miasta. Wieża wybudowana jest z czerwonego piaskowca, reszta utrzymana jest w szarej tonacji naturalnego kamienia. Iglica na wieży, zaprojektowana prawdopodobnie przez Nicholas Waleysa i wybudowana w roku 1367 jest prosta i pozbawiona dodatków. Strony północna i południowa są z wyglądu skomplikowane z powodu wysuniętych ramion transeptu oraz dobudowanych kaplic, nieco bardziej ozdobionych niż w innych kościołach w hrabstwie Somerset. Północne drzwi wejściowe zwieńczone są tympanonem z oknem o gwiaździstym kształcie. Pod północnym transeptem znajduje się krypta z dwiema wnękami na groby, pochodząca prawdopodobnie z początku XIV wieku. We wnętrzu znajdują się trzy nawy. Dach nad nimi pochodzi z epoki wiktoriańskiej. We wnętrzu kościoła znajduje się malowidło przedstawiające zdjęcie z krzyża, prawdopodobnie pochodzenia włoskiego lub hiszpańskiego, przekazane kościołowi w roku 1775 przez lokalną parlamentarzystkę Anne Poulett. Przy ołtarzu znajduje się dębowy pulpit z XVI wieku. Z tylnej strony kościoła, w pobliżu centralnego miejsca w mieście, Cornhill, znajduje się cmentarz, użytkowany od średniowiecza. Przypisy

Church of St Mary, Kensworth

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a church in the village of Kensworth in Bedfordshire, England. It became a Grade I listed building on 3 February 1967. Architecture and restoration The church, being of Norman origin, was mainly built from flint in the early 12th century. Both the tower and the chancel were later built in the 15th century using blocks of clunch from the nearby village of Totternhoe. Eventually falling into poor condition, the chancel was repaired in the 1630s. The church had five new bells cast in 1717. They were eventually stolen in 1967 in London, having been moved there in 1961 during the restoration of the tower. A new set of six bells were eventually hung in 1971. The church was buttressed in 1719 and the tower was later roughcast rendered in 1747, as indicated by a plaque on the tower's south face. The church originally had a flat roof until it was rebuilt in 1854, replacing the original lead roof with slate from Westmorland organised in a pattern on the church's south side. Further restoration was done on the church between 1862 and 1878 such as the replacing of doors, repairs to stonework and tiling, re-plastering of walls and cleaning amongst other work. Relief carvings on the capitals in the church depict stories from Aesop's Fables, two of which being The Wolf and the Crane as well as The Kite and the Doves. Between 1898 and 1935, numerous stained glass windows were installed around the church, some of which were restored in 1987. The church has seen numerous work in recent years, such as the restoration of the windows, doorway and west buttresses in 1996 and the construction of a porch on the church's north side in 2000. In 2010, a World War II memorial was added, accompanying the existing World War I memorial dating back to 1920. History The first recorded Vicar of Kensworth was John de Sancto Laurentio in 1207. The parish in which the church is located was situated in Hertfordshire until it was transferred to Bedfordshire in 1897. However, the church remained in the ecclesiastical parish under the Archdeconry of Hertford until 1930 when it was moved under the Archdeaconry of Bedford.
