Internally, the tower is supported by round arches. The church contains a plain octagonal font. The two-manual organ was built by Young in 1899. The organ was restored by Roger Mallinson of Windermere in 2014/2015. Pevsner wrote that "one would have to search far and search long in England to find village churches to vie with" this and two other Austin and Paley churches, Dolphinholme and Finsthwaite.

St Luke’s, Old Street

St Luke’s ist eine ehemalige anglikanische Kirche in London. Sie dient seit 2003 als LSO St Luke’s als Probenhaus des London Symphony Orchestra. Im Rahmen des 1711 vom britischen Parlament verabschiedeten Kirchenbauprogramms für Fünfzig Neue Kirchen war 1718 die Teilung der bestehenden Pfarrei St Giles-without-Cripplegate und der Neubau einer zweiten Kirche beschlossen worden, deren Gemeindebezirk außerhalb der bisherigen Grenzen der Stadt liegen sollte. Erbaut wurde die Kirche 1727 bis 1733 durch die Architekten John James und Nicholas Hawksmoor. Während die im Innern als Emporenhalle ausgebaute Kirche – mit Ausnahme eines Palladiomotivs als Ostfenster – aus Kostengründen im Außenbau äußerst schlicht gehalten ist, stellt ihr von Hawksmoor entworfener Turm, dessen Helm in Form eines Obelisken gestaltet ist, ein ungewöhnliches architektonisches und städtebauliches Element dar. Aufgrund von statischen Problemen durch ungleiche Setzung der Fundamente, die schon bald nach Fertigstellung des Bauwerks eingesetzt hatten, musste die Kirche 1959 baupolizeilich geschlossen und ihr Dach wegen akuter Einsturzgefahr entfernt werden. Die Gemeinde wurde mit ihrer ursprünglichen Kirchengemeinde zusammengeführt, und auch die 1733 erbaute und 1863 überarbeitete Orgel wurde 1971 in St Giles-without-Cripplegate aufgestellt und erweitert. 1993/1994 wurden erste Sicherungsmaßnahmen an der Ruine vorgenommen. Erst der von dem Londoner Architekturbüro Levitt Bernstein vorgenommene und 2004 abgeschlossene Ausbau zum Konzerthaus, der das Äußere des historischen Bauwerks unverändert bewahrte, indem er den erhaltenen Umfassungsmauern ein von einem Stahlgerüst getragenes Betondach aufsetzte und die in der Fensterfolge vorgegebene Empore wieder einfügte, vermochte das seiner neuen Bestimmung als Konzertsaal zugeführte Bauwerk für die Zukunft zu erhalten. In der Kirche waren der Naturhistoriker Mark Catesby, der Graveur und Typograf William Caslon sowie der Architekt George Dance der Ältere bestattet gewesen. Literatur Kerry Downes: Hawksmoor.

St Mabyn Church of England Primary School

St Mabyn C of E Primary School is a Church of England Primary School with academy status located in the village of St Mabyn between Bodmin and Wadebridge in Cornwall, England, UK. The school educates boys and girls between the ages of four and eleven and has 49 pupils with two mixed age classes. The school federated with St Tudy C of E Primary School in January 2010 with Karen Holmes as joint head. It formed part of the Saints Way Multi Academy Trust, until 2022 when it became part of St Barnabas Multi-Academy Trust. History The parochial school was founded by a deed of grant dated 1 October 1845. The site was given by Viscount Falmouth on 31 July 1846. The land was part of the manor of Trevisquite, within the parish of St Mabyn. In 1846 the building work was completed at a total cost of £445. The walls of the school cottage were built with stone from Treblethick quarry. In March 1897 there was a meeting regarding the enlargement of the school buildings and in April 1897 a 3d in the pound rate was levied for a year to fund the building. In June 1897 a tender from Mr A. Hamley for £155-10s for the masonry was accepted by the school committee. In February 1898 Miss Giles was engaged as an additional teacher at a salary of £18 and in March 1898 Edith May was appointed at a salary of £25 a year. The H.M. Inspectors' report of the higher classes in 1899 was so unsatisfactory that the committee asked Miss Giles to resign and in January 1900 Mr and Mrs Giles were given 3 months notice to quit. In 2009 there was a proposal to replace St Mabyn and St Tudy schools with a purpose built facility at Longstone, an action group (Hands Off Our Schools) was set up and Cornwall Council dropped the plans. In 2012 the school joined the Saints Way Multi Academy Trust with an assurance that "there was a solemn commitment to ensure that each individual school would retain its own identity and ethos".

The 2014 Ofsted inspection said that the school required improvement. The principal of the academy complained to Ofsted about "a lack of consistency in the way inspectors reach their headline conclusions.” The 2017 Ofsted rated the school as good.

St Margaret's, Corsley

St Margaret's, Corsley, is the Church of England parish church of Corsley in Wiltshire, England. In 1968 the church was designated as Grade II listed. The church was built in 1833 by John Leachman on the site of an earlier church. The previous church had been dedicated to St James from the 16th to 18th century. The new building has a simple plan: a wide nave without aisles, a chancel under the same roof of Welsh slate, and a tall west tower. Its design and layout are similar to another of Leachman's churches in Wiltshire, Christ Church, Warminster; while Christ Church has been repeatedly extended and altered throughout its history, St Margaret's is substantially unaltered and thus remains close to his original plans. There is a west gallery on four cast iron pillars, and the Royal Arms of George III. The tower has six bells, of which three are 18th-century. A clock was added to the four-stage tower around 1885. There was a parson at Corsley in the mid-13th century. At first the church was subordinate to the parish church of St Denys at Warminster, some 2+1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) to the southeast, but by 1415 Corsley was an independent parish. The first record of dedication to St Margaret of Antioch is from 1786. Furnishings which survive from the earlier church are the pulpit (c. 1700), painted benefaction boards and several monuments. Since 2007, Corsley parish – including a 1903 chapel of ease, St Mary's Church at Temple – has formed part of the Cley Hill benefice. References
St Margaret's, Lee

St. Margaret's Church, Lee, is a Church of England parish church located on the south side of Lee Terrace/Belmont Hill, in Lee Green, south-east London. History The current church replaced an earlier church built on the foundations of an older mediaeval church dating to around 1120. Between 1813 and 1830, an attempt to rebuild the medieval church, involving the architect Joseph Gwilt, failed when it became clear that the old church's foundations could not support a new building. The ruins of the original building are in the medieval churchyard on the north side of Lee Terrace. The existing church was built between 1839 and 1841 in a simple early Victorian style (to a design by Norwich architect John Brown). Extensive and lavish interior decoration was carried out between the years of 1875 and 1900. By 1980 it had fallen into dilapidation and an extensive 20-year restoration programme was carried out. On completion of the restoration, the church is one of the best preserved examples of a decorated gothic revivalist interior in London. Churchyards The tomb of Edmond Halley (1656–1742), from 1720 England's second Astronomer Royal and the discoverer of the periodicity of Halley's Comet is in the churchyard, one of three Astronomers Royal buried at St. Margaret's (Nathaniel Bliss and John Pond are the others). Also notable is the tomb of Sir Samuel Fludyer, 1st Baronet and his family. James Annesley, a celebrated claimant to the Earldom of Anglesey, was buried in the churchyard in an unmarked grave. After restoration work, six tombs in the old churchyard were moved from the 'at risk' register of Historic England in November 2025. Graves in the churchyard around the current church include one for wealthy builder William Webster (1819 –1888) , his wife, and chemical engineer son, William who lived at nearby Wyberton House on Lee Terrace.
