CONSECRATION OF THE NEW CHURCH'
AND ADDITIONAL BURIAL GROUND AT
EATON.

The village of Eaton—or Idleton, as it Was originally

called, from its proximity to the blinks of the river Idle—in
of great antiquity, and is stated to have been in early Saxon
times a place of some importance. It is probable that it was

•
near this village that the battle recorded by Bede (A.D.
617) was fought between Redwald, King ef the Angles, and
Etbelfrcd, King of the Northumbrians. The combat took
place on the " cast side of the liver that is called Idle." Its
issue placed Ea Pennine or Elwyn on the throne of North-
umbria. The king, says Kemele, held the first witnea gemot,
of which we have any detailed record, at York (AD. 6-27),
"wherein no less important was discussed than the deser•
tion of paganism and reception of Christianity by the
people of Northumbet land." Edwyn built a wooden church
at York, at which he, the nohitity, "and a large number
of the common wort" were hap, iced on April 1'2,627. The
former parish church was a very ancient structure, having
some slight remains of Norman architecture. It had become
much dilapidated, and its exterior had been from time tl
time repaired in the most barbarous fashion. The new
church has bees erected at the expense of Henry Bridgman
Simpson, Esq., the proprietor ef the whole parish of Eaton,
with the exception of the church land.
The church consists of a nave, porch, vestry, bell-turret,
and spire. It is rebuilt in the style of architecture now
usually termed Decorated. Tnis style prevailed during the
reignef the first three Edwards. As is usual in that style,
the windows vary in the form and detail of their tracery.
The roofs are open timbered in a series of arches, with wind
traces. The sittings or kneelizgs are open benches. The
chancel is stalled, and this work, the pulpit, prayer
desk, communion table, and rails, are of carved oak.
The west window, of richly-painted and stained glass,
having for its subject the Crucifixion, is given by
Mts. Coupland in memory of her husband till daugh-
ters; it bears the foliowiug inscription, "To the glory
of Uod, and in affectionate remembrance of Thomas Coup-
land, woo died December 12, MO, aged GO years. Also, of

Charlotte, who died Decemher'l7:lB,sl, aged 32 years, and
Susanna, who died August 2, 11345, aged 23, his daughters."
The upper part of this window is very beatitiful, and was
_ _

greatly admired by these present. .A.a.u;sll aisle winihrat
site the f,nt and porch, with figures of St. Peter and-St..-d,'
is presented by the Rev. John' Twells, and bears this inscrip-
tion—" This window was presented to this church by John
Twells, M.A., Trin. Coil., Camb., Vicar of this parish; and
Rector of Gainston, anno domini, 1838." The architect is
Mr. G. Shaw, of St. Chads, Satidleworth, near -Manchester,
by whom the whole of the building and fitting§' including
the ',skit ed glass, was executed. The church has been about

a year in building. •

Ou entering the church, the bishop proceeded to thi com-
munion table, when rte vicar presented the petition for
consecration, which the bishop delivered to the registrar,
Mr. John Swan, of Lincoln, who read it aloud. The bishop
and the clergy len walked from the east co the west cud of
the church, and back again, repeating alternately the 24 is
Psalm, the bishop beginning: "The earth is the Lord's,"
&c.
The bishop then took his seat on the north side of the
communion table. The deed of conveyance for the church
and the new churchyard was then presented by the vicar
to the bishop, who laid it upon the table, and as soon as
the vicar entered the reading desk, the bishop, standing up,
turned to the congregation, and said : —" Dearly beloved in
the Lord, forasmuch as devout and holy men, as well under
the Law as under the Gospel, moved either by secret inspi-
ration of the Holy Spirit, or by the express enntnand of
rhel, es I,s- tier can reason or sense of eider and decency,
have erected houses for the public worship of God, and
separated them Irons all profane and coutmun rases, in order
to fill men's minds with greater reverence for His glorious
Majesty, and to affect choir hearts with more devotion and
humility in His service; which pious works have been ap-
proved and graciously accepted by our heavenly Father.
Let us not doubt but that He will also favourably approve
our present purpose of setting apart this place, in solemn
manner, for the performance of the several offices of reli-
gious worship, and let us faithfully and devoutly pray for
Ills blessing on this our underteking."
After t! is the Liseop, still standing, repeated the form of
prayer used at the consecration of a church in reference to
baptism, confit melon, snarriage,.&c.
The bishop then took his seat, and the senteece of conse-
cration was read aloud by the registrar, after which it was
signed by the bishop, and by him ordered to be registered in
his registry.
The vicar then read the service for the day. The first
lesson was read by the Rev. E. 11. Vernon, of Grove, and
the second by the Rev. H. Morse, of Tuxlmd. Af:er the
collect far the day, &c., the bishop said the following prayer
—" Blessed he Thy name, 0 Lord, that it bath pleased
Thee to put into the heart of thy servant to erect
this house to thy honour and worship. Bless, 0 Lord, him,
his family, and substance, and accept the work of his hands;
remember him concerning this; wipe not out this kindness
that he hath showed fur the House of his God and the
officers thereof; and grant that all those who shall enjoy
the benefit of this pious work, may show forth their thank-
fatness by making a riodit use of it, to the glory of thy
blessed Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The bishop then read the Nicene Creed, and afterwards
the Old 100th Psalm was sung.
The rev. prelate then ascended the pulpit, and took his
text from the 6;11 chapter of the 2tl episrle to the Corinthians,
16,1 i verse, " Fsr ye arc the temple of ti e living God; as
God has said, I will dwe;l in them and walk in them ; and I
will be their Ged, and they shall be my people,"from which he
deivered a short but interesting and profitable discourse,
showing in the first place how the Church or Christians were a
temple of the living God; and secondly, that all sincere Chris-
tiaes indi% idually are temples of the living God, and that he
dwells in ti cm by his Spirit, and that if any one defile the
temple by sin, such person will God destroy, unless they
sincerely repent of their wicked Less. One or two important
lessons were then deduced from the subject—That it is an
awful reflection fer itisse who did not constitute the
temp'e of God, end that his anger was kindled against them;
and in the next place, how important for those who are real
Christians that they
waPs sprightly and act as Goii's pecu-
liar people; and lastly, that we should praise God for caus-
ing us to be part of his temple. The object for which this
new church had keen built, said the bishop, was to build
up Christians ill the temple of the Lord Jesus
No collection was made after the rerraon, es the church
had been built at the sole expense of H. Bridgemau
iiitrp-
son Esq., and no money was therefore needed.

tificatien, and now liveth and teigneth with Thee and the

Several verses of the 39th Psalm were then sung.
The opening services were renewed in the evening, when
the Rev. J. Tsvells preached an impressive sermon from the
6th chapter of the 2d of Chronicles and the 40th and 41st
verses, "Now, my God, let, 1 beseech Thee, thine eyes be
open, and let thine ears be attentive unto the prayer that is
made in this place," &c. The prayers were read by the
Lord Bishop, and the lessons by tlie:Rev. Edward Julius,
of Billingray. The congregation in the evening was very
good. In the morning the church was tilled to overflowing.
Mr. Denman, organist of St. Saviour's Church, Retford,
presided at the harmonium, and was assisted by some of the
choir of that church.
