St Chad's Church, Farndon

St Chad's Church is in the village of Farndon, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Malpas. Its benefice is combined with that of St Mary, Coddington. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. History A church was present on the site at the time of the survey for the Domesday Book and it is likely that Saxon churches had previously been there. The base of the tower and the plan of the church date from the 14th century although around 1622 the historian Webb described it as "a fair new church". During the English Civil War the church was badly damaged. In 1643 it was being used as a barracks for the Parliamentarians under Sir William Brereton when it was attacked by Royalists. During the battle the church was set on fire. It continued to be used by the Parliamentarians until 1645 when it was abandoned and left derelict. Apart from the tower the church was completely rebuilt in 1658 by William Barnston. Further restorations were carried out in the 19th and 20th centuries. The 19th-century restoration was carried out by Kelly and Edwards, other than the southeast chapel which was by John Douglas. Architecture Exterior The church is built in red sandstone with grey slate roofs. The lower three stages of the tower date from the 14th century and the top section dates from the 17th century. The plan of the church consists of a nave with clerestory, north and south aisles, a chancel and a north porch. Protruding from the east end of the south wall are a vestry and the Barnston chapel. The tower is at the west end. Interior The furniture includes a 17th-century holy table, and a parish chest dated 1729. Three benefaction boards are dated 1672, 1786 and 1838. In the Barnston chapel is the Civil War window which depicts some of the Cheshire Royalists, among them Richard Grosvenor, Sir William Mainwaring, William Barnston and Sir Francis Gamull of Buerton. The chapel also contains wall memorials to the members of the Barnston family, including two Randle Holme memorial boards. There is a ring of eight bells, all cast in 1841 by John Taylor and Company. The parish registers begin in 1603 and the churchwardens' accounts in 1744. External features A pair of table tombs in the churchyard are listed at Grade II. They are of yellow sandstone and date from the early 18th century. On one is an image of an hourglass, on the other a skull and crossbones. A sundial in the churchyard is dated 1793. The churchyard also contains war graves of two British soldiers of World War I, Sergeant Joseph Easter and Private Thomas Harrison.

St Chad's Church, Harpswell

St Chad's Church, Harpswell, is a parish church in the Church of England in Harpswell, Lincolnshire. History The ancient church of St Chad in the village of Harpswell, about 12 miles north of the city of Lincoln, was established c.1042 and has one of the few complete Anglo-Saxon towers remaining in England. The church had thirteenth- and fourteenth-century additions, in particular its Norman south arcade was extended in this period, and the whole church was heavily restored in 1890–91. Research indicates that the church, which stands very close to a spring (one of a number at the foot of the Jurassic limestone scarp with ritual associations) was constructed on a much older pre-Christian ritual site connected with water cults. It is a Grade I listed building. Monuments There are a number of historical monuments in St Chad's Church, two of the most notable are located in the south aisle and are dedicated to former priests. The largest of these is an effigy of William de Harrington dating from 1346, which shows him reposing on a pillow supported on two angels whilst dressed in cassock, hood and pileolus whilst at his feet are images of the Green Man. There is also a large stone slab bearing the figure of a fully vested Norman priest of "Harpperswelle" called John Gere, who died around 1300. On the north wall of the chancel is a fifteenth-century brass of John Whichcote in armour and his wife, Elizabeth Tyrwhit, in a complex butterfly headdress. One of their descendants, Thomas Whichcote, to whom there is also a memorial, was an ardent Royalist and supporter of the Act of Settlement. He introduced the arms of Queen Anne and had a notable memorial stone placed on the tower with above with an inscription commemorating the erection of a clock in 1746 in memory of the Duke of Cumberland's "victory over the rebels" at Culloden. Thomas was also father of Frances Maria Whichcote, who married Rev John Fountayne, the longest serving Dean of York. Other notable features There are some exceptional oak bench ends from the mediaeval period, one of which is decorated with the five Holy Wounds. The stained glass contains fragments of mediaeval glass and the font dates from the Norman period. A section of the churchyard is set aside for the graves of service personnel. Comprising a Service Plot of four rows, it contains the war graves of a Royal Engineers soldier, eighteen British airmen and one Canadian airman, and six non-World War graves. A former RAF base, RAF Hemswell (formerly known as Harpswell Aerodrome when it was first opened in 1918 by the Royal Flying Corps) adjoins the parish. Current use It is part of the Diocese of Lincoln, now under the joint Glentworth Benefice. References

St Chad's Church, Kirkby

St Chad's Church is in Old Hall Lane, Kirkby, Knowsley, Merseyside, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Huyton, the archdeaconry of Liverpool, and the diocese of Liverpool. Its benefice is united with those of St Mark, Kirkby: St Martin, Southdene, Kirkby: and Tower Hill, St Andrew, Kirkby. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. History The church has an ancient foundation, preceding the Norman Conquest of 1066, and a church on the site is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. This church was replaced in 1766 by a Georgian chapel. This was replaced in turn by the present church that was built between 1869 and 1871. It was designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin. The initial estimate was for £10,000, but the cost rose to £12,000 (equivalent to £1,220,000 in 2025), and was paid for by the 4th Earl of Sefton. It provided seating for 650 people. The stone used for its construction was taken from the Earl's own quarries. Architecture Exterior St Chad's is constructed in red sandstone with tiled roofs. Its design incorporates features of Norman and Gothic architecture. The plan consists of a six-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south porches, north and south aisles, a short chancel with an organ loft to the north and a chapel to the south, and a tower at the crossing. The tower is in three stages with a saddleback roof. At the southeast corner of the tower is an octagonal stair turret with a conical slated roof. At the west end of the church, the aisles have single lancet windows, and the nave has a triple lancet. Most of the windows elsewhere in the church are also lancets. Both of the doorways are Norman in style; the north doorway is blocked, and the south doorway is ornately carved. Interior Inside the church, the arcades have pointed arches and Corinthian capitals; the piers of the north arcade are octagonal, those of the south are round. The font is early Norman, and is carved with figures, including Adam and Eve, and Saint Michael spearing a serpent. The font is considered to be the oldest man-made article in Kirkby. On the east wall of the church is an opus sectile reredos of 1898, designed by Henry Holiday and depicting the Last Supper. Also in the chancel is an arched sedilia with a carved scene in its tympanum. Holiday also designed most of the stained-glass windows, which date from 1871 to 1897. External features The churchyard contains the war graves of a soldier of World War I, and another of World War II.

St Chad’s Church (Shrewsbury)

Die der Church of England zugehörige St Chad’s Church ist eine Pfarrkirche (parish church) in der Stadt Shrewsbury in der westenglischen Grafschaft (county) Shropshire trägt das Patrozinium des hl. Chad von York († 672); sie ist als Grade-I-Bauwerk eingestuft und gehört zum Major Churches Network. Lage Die etwa 75.000 Einwohner zählende Stadt Shrewsbury liegt in der Region West Midlands innerhalb einer Schleife des Flusses Severn in einer Höhe von ca. 70 m. Die Großstadt Birmingham ist ungefähr 75 km (Fahrtstrecke) in südöstlicher Richtung entfernt; die Großstadt Liverpool liegt gut 100 km nördlich. Die St-Chad’s-Kirche liegt unweit der römisch-katholischen Kathedrale bei einem Park am südwestlichen Stadtrand. Geschichte Seit dem Mittelalter ist eine dem hl. Chad von York gewidmete Kirche in Shrewsbury nachgewiesen. Der letzte Kirchenbau war jedoch Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts in einem baufälligen Zustand. Als sich 1788 Risse in einem Pfeiler zeigten, wurde Thomas Telford, der zu der Zeit das Shrewsbury Castle renovierte, um Rat gebeten. Telford sagte, die Kirche sei akut einsturzgefährdet, und riet zu umgehenden Maßnahmen. Dem Kirchgemeinderat waren diese aber zu teuer. Zwei Tage später stürzte die Kirche ein. Der beschlossene Neubau wurde an neuer Stelle und in völlig neuer Gestalt innerhalb von nur zwei Jahren (1790–1792) fertiggestellt. Architektur Ein im Untergeschoss quadratischer, dann achteckiger Glockenturm schließt nach oben mit einer funktionslosen, im Grundriss runden Laterne ab. Ein vorgesetzter Portikus mit Dreiecksgiebel führt in das Innere des Bauwerks, das durch seinen runden Grundriss mit säulengestützten Emporen überrascht. Der Rundbau ist flachgedeckt, besitzt aber eine Balustrade am Rand des Daches. Ausstattung Die Ausstattung beschränkt sich Wesentlichen auf den Altar, seine Rückwand (reredos) und das dreigeteilte Fenster darüber. In letzterem findet sich eine um das Jahr 1842 angefertigte gläserne Kopie des Gemäldes der Kreuzaufrichtung von Peter Paul Rubens aus der Kathedrale von Antwerpen gerahmt von zwei weiteren biblischen Szenen. Sonstiges Am 15. November 1809 wurde Charles Darwin in der Kirche getauft. Weblinks St Chad’s Church – Website (englisch) Einzelnachweise
Kościół św. Chada w Shrewsbury

Kościół św. Chada w Shrewsbury – świątynia Kościoła Anglii w Shrewsbury, nosząca wezwanie św. Chada. Budynek od 10 stycznia 1953 ma status zabytku klasy I. Parafia należy do diecezji Lichfield. Obecna budowla została zaprojektowana przez szkockiego architekta George’a Steuarta pod koniec XVIII wieku. Wzniesiono ją na miejscu wcześniejszej, po zawaleniu się jej głównej wieży w 1788. George Steuart poproszony o zaprojektowanie nowego kościoła przedstawił radzie parafialnej kilka projektów. Rada opowiedziała się za projektem przewidującym budowę nawy na planie prostokąta, ale w wyniku nieporozumienia budynek wzniesiono na planie koła, co było ewenementem w ówczesnej Anglii. Taki kształt budowli był uważany za kontrowersyjny. W świątyni znajduje się dzwonnica z dwunastoma dzwonami. 15 listopada 1809 w kościele ochrzczony został przyrodnik i geolog Karol Darwin. Teren kościoła został użyty jako plan filmu Opowieść wigilijna z 1984. Pamiątką tego zdarzenia jest fałszywy nagrobek Ebenezera Scrooge’a. Przypisy

St Chad's Church, Wybunbury

Wybunbury Tower is what remains of the building formerly known as St Chad's Church in the village of Wybunbury, Cheshire, England. The body of the original church has been demolished but the tower still stands. The tower is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. The site of the tower is a Scheduled Monument. The current St Chad's Church is located in a modern building on a different site in the village. History The Domesday Book contains a reference to a priest in Wybunbury. The church was broken into in 1464, the cross was broken and valuables were stolen. The thieves were caught and hanged. The tower was built in the 15th century on the site of the earlier church. By 1750 its foundations were observed to be settling and the tower was beginning to lean. In the early 1790s the church was repaired or rebuilt. In 1833 the body of the church was demolished; James Trubshaw then straightened the tower by removing soil from the higher side and soaking the ground so that the tower settled back straight. He rebuilt the body of the church in a style loosely based on the previous building. This church was replaced in 1892–93 by a church designed by James Brooks, which in turn was demolished around 1976. The tower was saved from demolition by a group of villagers who formed the Wybunbury Tower Preservation Trust. The technique used by Trubshaw formed the basis of the method used in the 1990s to stabilise the Leaning Tower of Pisa. As at least five and possibly more churches on this site have become unsafe and been demolished due to ground movement; the replacement church was built in 1978 on a site elsewhere in the village and contains several items from previous churches. Architecture Only the tower now remains and Richards considers that it is one of the finest towers in Cheshire. It still leans to the north. It is built in sandstone ashlar with a lead roof. The tower is square and has five stages. The west doorway is deeply recessed and immediately above it is a window of three lights. On each side of the door and of the window are niches containing statues, possibly of bishops, while over the window is a fifth niche containing a statue of the Trinity. The fourth stage has a square wrought iron clock face. The fifth stage has two two-light belfry openings. The parapet is battlemented with crocketed pinnacles at the corners. The tower contains a ring of six bells which were cast in 1791 by John Rudhall. Other features The lych gate still stands and it serves as a war memorial.

St Charles Borromeo, Hull

St Charles Borromeo is a parish in the Diocese of Middlesbrough and is the oldest post-reformation Catholic parish church in the city of Kingston upon Hull, England. The church is a Grade I listed building, having been upgraded from a Grade II* in March 2016. History Around 1774, Fr Charles Howard came from Marton to serve the small number of Catholics in Hull. In 1779 a chapel was established in Posterngate but it was destroyed in the Gordon Riots of 1780. Following the loss of the chapel Catholics were forced to meet in private until in 1798 when Fr Pierre Foucher arrived in Hull, fleeing the French Revolution. He was a wealthy man, possibly an aristocrat. He paid for a small chapel in North Street to be built from his own funds. He returned to France in 1820. Fr John Smith was appointed to replace Fr Foucher. He obtained a site in Jarratt Street and began the construction of the present church. The church opened on 29 July 1829. The building of the church was begun by the architect John Earle (1778–1863). It was remodelled soon afterward by J. J. Scoles. In later years the aisles were added and the present decor seen in the church was undertaken in 1899 under the stewardship of Canon Sullivan. Organ The present organ was bought for St Charles' in about 1866. It had been built for St John's Church, Hull in either 1812 or 1815. Before being placed in St Charles' it had been at St Wilfrid's York. It was rebuilt and the design was modified by Messrs Forster and Andrews in 1909. The organ was further amended in 1959.
