St Michael's Tower, Gloucester

St Michael's Tower, Gloucester, stands at The Cross, where the four main streets of Gloucester (Northgate, Eastgate, Southgate and Westgate Streets) meet. The Cross is also the highest point in the city. The Tower is on the corner of Eastgate and Southgate Streets and the entrance is in Southgate Street. It was built in 1465 on the site of the previous St Michael the Archangel. It is no longer used for religious ceremonies. It became a Grade II* listed building in 1952. History The tower was built in 1465 on the site of the nave of the previous church of St Michael the Archangel. There had been a church on the site since the 12th century and Roman remains were found under the tower. In the 1840s the old church was demolished, apart from the tower, and a new church was constructed in 1851. The new St Michael’s Church was closed in 1940, however, and in 1952 the parish was united with St Mary de Crypt. The main part of the new church was demolished in 1956, but again the tower was spared. From 1976 until 1981, the upper floors were used as a bell museum and between 1985 and 1998 it was used as a tourist information centre. At one time the ground floor was an open walkway between Eastgate and Southgate Streets. Eventually it fell into disrepair and was used as storage space by Gloucester City Council. Restoration In 2009, Gloucester City Council granted a lease on the building to the Gloucester Civic Trust and in 2010 the Tower was restored by the trust at a cost of over £300,000, with the help of grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund and other donors. The Tower has since become the headquarters of the civic trust who aim to create "A tower of learning" devoted to the history of Gloucester. In August 2011 a campaign was launched by the Civic Trust to reinstate a bell in the tower. This has now been achieved.

St Michael, Cornhill

St Michael, Cornhill ist eine anglikanische Kirche im Londoner Stadtteil Cornhill. Die mittelalterliche Kirche befand sich von 1133 bis 1504 im Besitz der Abtei Evesham. 1421 erhielt die romanische Kirche, vermutlich nach einer Brandzerstörung, einen neuen Kirchturm im Perpendicular Style. Nach dem Großen Brand von London 1666 wurde die Kirche, unter Einbeziehung des erhaltenen mittelalterlichen Turms, durch Christopher Wren in Form einer gewölbten Basilika über rundbogigen Arkaden mit dorischen Säulen neuerrichtet. 1704 musste der Turm wegen akuter statischer Probleme abgebrochen werden und wurde ab 1715 durch William Dickinson, einem Mitarbeiter von Christopher Wren, ersetzt. Aufgrund von Finanzierungsproblemen mussten die Arbeiten aber bereits 1717 wieder eingestellt werden, um – finanziert durch das staatliche Kirchenbauprogramm für Fünfzig Neue Kirchen – erst 1722 nach einem neuen Entwurf von Nicholas Hawksmoor vollendet zu werden. Als einziger unter den Kirchenbauten dieses Programms folgt der in nachgotischen Formen gehaltene Turmbau mittelalterlichen Vorbildern, namentlich dem Turm von Magdalen College in Oxford. 1858 bis 1860 errichtete George Gilbert Scott eine neugotische Portalvorhalle, deren Portaltympanon das Relief St. Michael im Kampf mit dem Satan zeigt.

St Michael & All Angels Church, Bishop's Cleeve

St Michael & All Angels is the Anglican church in the village of Bishop's Cleeve, just north of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. Informally the church is known simply as St Michael's. History The church building is Grade I listed, with parts dating back over 900 years. It was originally a monastic settlement in Anglo-Saxon times, which is how the village of Bishops Cleeve began. Later, after the Norman Conquest in 1066, the main body of the church was built as a Catholic church. Parts of the frescoes on the walls still remain to this day, and it was a popular place for pilgrims to visit. The Delabere family later then added to the main body of the church, in the 1700s, with places for the growing congregation to sit; the family are now buried in their tomb inside the church. The tomb is one of the main reasons for tourists to visit Cleeve and the church, but it is in desperate need of restoration. St Michael's bell tower also boasts the oldest in-use oak staircase in Britain, and won an award for the restoration in June 2016. Bells There are 9 bells in the church tower: a full peal of 8 which are rung for services and special occasions, and a little 'sanctus' bell. (In the past the sanctus bell would be rung at various points in a Holy Communion service, but this practice is generally not followed nowadays.) Weights (in cwt), notes and dates of the bells are shown in the table below: Further details of the bells are available at the Dove's Guide entry for Bishop's Cleeve. Churchyard The churchyard contains war graves of three soldiers of World War I and a soldier and an airman of World War II. Churches and parishes Benefice of Bishop's Cleeve and Woolstone with Gotherington and Oxenton As is common in the Church of England, St Michael's is part of a complex structure of rural parishes. The overall benefice of Bishop's Cleeve and Woolstone with Gotherington and Oxenton is made up of two ecclesiastical parishes - Bishop's Cleeve, and Woolstone with Gotherington and Oxenton. The parish of Bishop's Cleeve includes the villages of Bishop's Cleeve, Southam, Woodmancote and Cleeve Hill. Unusually it has two church buildings - St Michael & All Angels at Bishop's Cleeve and The Ascension at Southam. (The Ascension is strictly only a second 'worship centre', not a parish church - although it's known informally as Southam's church, legally the parish church of Southam is still St Michael's. Until 2008 there was also St Peter's at Cleeve Hill, but this building is now disused.) The parish of Woolstone with Gotherington and Oxenton encompasses the tiny villages of Woolstone and Oxenton, and the larger one of Gotherington. It also has two church buildings - St Martin de Tours at Woolstone, and St John the Baptist at Oxenton, but there is no Anglican church building at Gotherington even though most of the population live there.

Church of St Michael and All Angels (Haworth)

Die Church of St Michael and All Angels (englisch für „Kirche des Heiligen Michael und aller Engel“) ist eine anglikanische Pfarrkirche in Haworth in West Yorkshire in Großbritannien. An der Kirche war Patrick Brontë über 40 Jahre als Geistlicher tätig, im benachbarten Pfarrhaus haben die Geschwister Brontë gelebt. Das Bauwerk ist als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade II* eingestuft. Geschichte Die unter dem Patrozinium des Erzengels Michael und aller Engel stehende Kirche geht auf einen älteren Vorgängerbau zurück, von dem die Untergeschosse des Westturms erhalten sind. Der gotische Turm ist spätmittelalterlichen Ursprungs, möglicherweise aber auch erst im 16. Jahrhundert erbaut worden. Die oberen Geschosse und die Bekrönung entstanden im 18. Jahrhundert. In der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts entstanden kontrovers diskutierte Pläne, die alte, baufällige Kirche durch einen Neubau zu ersetzen bzw. so umzubauen, dass es einem Neubau gleichkam. Dies war umstritten, da zu dieser Zeit die Kirche und die Begräbnisse der Familie Brontë bereits rege Besucherströme anzogen. Trotz der Widerstände wurden schließlich zwischen 1879 und 1881 die Arbeiten nach Plänen von T. H. and F. Healey ausgeführt. Ergebnis der Baumaßnahmen war ein repräsentatives Bauwerk im Stil der Gotik um 1400 als dreischiffige Kirche mit einem sechsjochigen Langhaus und einem Chorraum mit südlicher Seitenkapelle. Der alte Turm ist dem Gotteshaus nicht im Westen vorgesetzt, sondern befindet sich in der Südwestecke des Kirchenschiffs. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
Church of St Michael and All Angels, Bromley-by-Bow

The Church of St Michael and All Angels was a church in Poplar, London. The Grade II listed 19th-century brick-built church was converted into flats in the 1980's, and is now known as St Michael's Court. History Originally, the site was occupied by a mission chapel run by Winchester College, built in 1861. The church as it stands today was originally built in 1864–1865 by Reverend W. Morris. It was converted into flats in the 1980s. In 1876, a communication was sent from the headmaster of Winchester College asking whether Rev. William Donne, M.A., of Brasenose College, Oxford, would be a suitable man to be appointed to the charge of the Winchester College mission in St Michael and All Angels. He was chosen to head the mission, and did so for five years, during which he built the church of All Hallows, at East India Docks. The Revd Richard Enraght, religious controversialist, was the Curate of the church from 1884 to 1888. War memorial The church has an adjacent war memorial, made from Cornish granite and sculpted by Mr A. R. Adams. The Imperial War Museum's archive describes the memorial as a "Figure of Christ with one hand raised in blessing and the other holding a wreath above the head of a kneeling warrior in the armour of a crusader. Names inscribed on the panels on the pedestal which is on three steps. Memorial is surrounded by low railings." The memorial was erected a short time after the First World War, and was unveiled by the future George VI (then Duke of York) on 4 December 1920, and dedicated in the same ceremony by Henry Mosley, Bishop of Stepney. Prior to this it was an open space, used for local community meetings. Occasionally, it was also host to fighting: the vicar's daughter in the late 1800s, Eileen Baillie, used to watch fights "in that convenient open space before the vicarage gates". Money for the memorial – £900 – was raised via "an appeal, a football match and tickets for a special matinee performance at the queen's theatre, high street on Saturday 24 April 1920". References
St Michael and All Angels Church, Altcar

St Michael and All Angels Church stands to the west of the village of Great Altcar, West Lancashire, England. The church is timber-framed and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Liverpool, the archdeaconry of Liverpool and the deanery of Sefton. Its benefice is combined with that of Holy Trinity, Formby. In the Buildings of England series it is described as "an utterly charming church". History The earliest record of a church or chapel on the site is in a lease dated 1429. In the 17th century the church is said to have been of timber and plaster. In the 1740s it was destroyed by fire and a new church was consecrated in 1747. This was said to have been a small brick building with a cupola containing one bell and a very plain interior. That church was demolished and the present church was built in 1878–79 to a design by John Douglas at the expense of the 4th Earl of Sefton. The church was restored in the 1990s, mainly to deal with rot which was affecting the timber. Architecture Exterior The church is half-timbered on a brick plinth with a red tile roof. The framing is mostly close studding with a middle rail. It has been suggested that timber framing was used, not only for aesthetic reasons, but also because the foundations on underlying peat were not sufficiently stable for a stone building. The plan of the church consists of a five-bay nave, a bell turret on the west gable end, a south porch, a narrow north aisle, a two-bay chancel at a lower level, a north organ chamber, and a vestry. The bell turret is close-studded and has a pyramidal roof with a finial and a weather vane. The church is unique in Douglas' output as being entirely half-timbered. Interior The communion rails, chancel rails, and pulpit were designed by Douglas and are of carved timber. The reredos consists of painted tiles, executed by Craven, Dunhill & Co. to designs by Heaton, Butler and Bayne. It depicts Christ breaking bread before Cleophas and Mary in the centre, St Michael on the left, and Euphrasia on the right. The only stained glass in the church is in the west window. This is dated 1885 and depicts the baptism of Jesus. External features At the entrance to the churchyard is a lych gate dated 1879 which was also probably designed by Douglas. It is made of oak with a stone slate roof and is listed Grade II. The churchyard contains the war grave of a Royal Army Service Corps officer cadet of World War II, and of a Royal Air Force flight lieutenant killed in Afghanistan in 2006.

Its foundation stone was laid in September 1906, and the church was consecrated by the Bishop of Manchester on 2 July 1908. At this time the chancel, the organ and part of the nave were completed. at a cost of £6,047 (equivalent to £630,000 in 2025). The architects responsible for the design were Austin and Paley of Lancaster. The building of the nave was completed in July 1915, but the planned upper part of the tower was never built. St Michael's became a separate parish in December 1929. In 1993 the benefice of the church was united with that of St Mark, Preston, and in April 2006, it was further united with St Andrew, Ashton-on-Ribble. Architecture Exterior The church is constructed in snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and red tiled roofs. Its plan consists of a nave and chancel in one range, a clerestory, and north and south aisles. On the south side are a porch, the uncompleted tower, and a chapel. On the north side are a transept, a vestry, and an attached parish hall. Its architectural style is Perpendicular "in Arts and Crafts manner". Along the sides of the clerestory are two-light windows, with ten on the north side and seven on the south. The aisle windows are square-headed with mullions, most of which have three lights. At the west end is a large five-light window. Above the doorway in the south porch is a panel with a carving of Saint Michael. The tower consists of one tall stage, with angle buttresses, a south doorway over which is a five-light window and, at the summit, a pyramidal roof. On the south side of the chancel are three clerestory windows, and at its east end is a short canted sanctuary with buttresses. The east window has five lights. The chapel has two south windows, a four-light east window, and an embattled parapet. Interior The arcades consist of five bays carried on octagonal piers. The stained glass in the east window dates from 1968 and is by Harry Stammers. Elsewhere are windows from the early 20th century that are probably by Shrigley and Hunt. The three-manual organ was built in 1934 by Henry Ainscough, and overhauled by its maker in 1953.
