Catedral de Santa Cruz de Cádiz
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catedral_de_Santa_Cruz_de_C%C3%A1diz
La Catedral de Cádiz se empezó a construir en 1722 y no se terminó hasta el 28 de noviembre de1838.
Recibe el nombre de "Santa Cruz sobre el Mar" o "Santa Cruz sobre las Aguas"1aunque los gaditanos la denominan "Catedral Nueva" en contraposición a la Catedral Vieja (de la Santa Cruz), edificada en el siglo XVI sobre la antigua catedral gótica mandada construir por Alfonso X El Sabio, es el único templo de culto cristiano con cúpula amarilla (algo típico de la religión musulmana) así desde el mar se observaba la riqueza de Cádiz.
Está situada en la Plaza de la Catedral y es visible desde casi cualquier punto de la ciudad. Tiene horario de visitas tanto para el interior del recinto como para la Torre del Poniente. La misma entrada a la catedral sirve para acceder al Museo Catedralicio, situado en la Plaza Fray Félix junto a la Catedral Vieja.
Historia
Se trata de un edificio religioso de grandes proporciones que se comenzó a construir según proyecto del arquitecto Vicente Acero en 1722. Acero dejó el proyecto en 1739 y se hizo cargo de las obras Gaspar Casando en 1757 a su sobrino Torcuato Cayón. Tras su muerte en 1783, le sucede Miguel Olivares hasta 1790, fecha en la que empieza a dirigir la obra Manuel Machuca. Finalmente desde 1832 hasta su finalización las obras las dirige Juan Daura.
En los 116 años que tardó su construcción, se ve el cambio de estilo y los gustos de los distintos arquitectos, lo explica la mezcla de estilos, básicamente tres: barroco,rococó y neoclásico.
Los materiales que se emplearon fueron muy variados debido a las diferentes crisis económicas a las que tuvo que hacer frente la ciudad durante el período de construcción, así se puede observar mármol genovés para los diferentes altares y puertas, piedra caliza y piedra ostionera para los muros exteriores.
Fue el obispo Fray Domingo de Silos Moreno quien la bendijo en 1838. A causa del retraso de las obras, muchas partes del templo quedaron expuestas a los rigores del tiempo. Esto y la situación misma del edificio junto al mar ha provocado una enfermedad en la piedra que hace que ésta se vaya desmoronando poco a poco; es por ello por lo que las bóvedas del templo están cubiertas por redes que evitan que los cascotes caigan al suelo.
Características
La portada es una conjunción de formas cóncavas y convexas, característico del estilo barroco. Las torres que se levantan a ambos lados de la portada culminan en forma de observatorio astronómico; es un hecho excepcional que la Catedral de Cádiz posea campanarios de tal altura, puesto que estaba prohibido por los Borbones la construcción de tales estructuras, al constituir un blanco fácil para el enemigo.
Tiene planta de cruz latina y tres naves, quedando delimitado el espacio por conjuntos de columnas. El altar mayor consiste en un templete de estilo neoclásico dedicado a la Inmaculada Concepción. En todo el perímetro del templo se observan capillas (que en el momento de la construcción estaban dedicadas a albergar los talleres necesarios para la obra del templo) dedicadas a la figura del Ecce Homo (obra de "La Roldana") o a los patronos de la ciudad; San Servando y San Germán, entre otros. Una de éstas capillas alberga la monumental Custodia de plata, obra de Enrique de Arfe, que contiene la Sagrada Forma en la festividad de Corpus Christi. Cabe destacar las dos figuras en mármol de San Pedro y San Pablo que se encuentran junto a la entrada de las dos puertas menores de la catedral. Sobre la puerta principal se encuentran sendas estatuas de ellos .
Posee varias cúpulas, destacando dos; la cúpula mayor compuesta por un tambor y la propia cúpula se asienta sobre pechinas y en su exterior está cubierta de azulejos dorados que durante el día reflejan los rayos del Sol. Contigua a ésta se encuentra otra cúpula de menores dimensiones, situada sobre el altar mayor. Otra cúpula menor se sitúa sobre una sala dedicada a guardar diferentes reliquias y restos.
Bajo el altar mayor se encuentra la cripta, situada bajo el nivel del mar donde están enterrados personajes ilustres gaditanos como Manuel de Falla y José María Pemán. Un elemento interesante de la catedral es su coro; se sitúa en el centro, ante el altar mayor. Verdaderas obras de arte son la sillería del coro y los dos órganos que posee. La Catedral de Cádiz posee un extenso archivo musical de la antigua Capilla Musical, con obras de compositores como Padilla, García Fajer o Delgado. Actualmente existe una intención de recuperar del olvido todas estas obras que, en la mayoría de los casos, sólo se tocaron el día de su estreno para los oficios.

For fit reasons my basic skirt is a mix of drafting instructions from both DIY Clothes and Building Patterns
It is nearly ten years since I started the Kent church project, and in that time have visited 292 churches, give or take, and seen and photographed inside most of them. And in that time, I have gone from knowing nothing about churches to having a basic understanding, meaning I need to revisit those I visited early on to record the features I missed.
Lenham is a large market village, and seems to be in rude health, as finding a parking space on a weekday morning was difficult, but it was nearing lunchtime, and the village is blessed with two fine pubs on the village square, and also has a new fish restaurant which was already producing fine aromas.
St Mary stands a little of the square, its tower dominating the view.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A village centre setting where the church is approached from the north. This side shows ragstone and flint construction. Although the building contains work of earlier periods it is on the whole a fourteenth-century structure. The memorable feature is the size of the internal door which fills the tower arch - although it is not as old as it at first appears. On the south wall of the nave is a faded mural of St Michael. The pulpit is Elizabethan with a slightly later tester that carries the date 1622. Next to the pulpit is a good window in the style of Kempe, signed in the inscription with the `greyhound` symbol of H.W. Bryans who set up his own studio in competition. The other glass is mid-nineteenth century and of poor quality. The lectern, of wood, with nicely carved feet, may be as early as the fourteenth century, and has a crude and rural feel about it. The medieval stalls, which are returned along the west side of the chancel arch, are much restored. On the north wall of the chancel is an extremely strange monument which shows a fourteenth-century priest lying obliquely in two halves! The Royal Arms over the north door date from the reign of Queen Anne.

LENHAM.
NORTHWARD from Boughton Malherb, close at the foot of the chalk-hills, lies Lenham, written in the book of Domesday, Lerham and Lertham, no doubt corruptly for Leanham, by which name it is called in most of the antient charters and deeds, as well before as since that time. It takes its name from the stream which rises in it, and ham, which signifies a town or village.
The western part of this parish is in the lath of Aylesford, hundred of Eyhorne, and the western division of this county, that is all of it which lies westward of a line drawn from the centre of Chilston-house, northward to the east end of the church, and thence to Warren-street, on the summit of the chalk hills.
The residue of it, including that part of it called East Lenham, is in the lath of Shipway, and hundred of Calehill, and the eastern division of the county.
THE PARISH of Lenham is of large extent, being upwards of five miles in length from east to west, and four in breadth from north to south, where it encompasses the whole width of the valley from the chalk to the quarry hills. However healthy it may be it is far from being a pleasant situation, owing to its untoward soil, which towards the south and west is mostly a deep sand; near the foot of the chalk hills a cludgy chalk mixed with flints, the whole a poor unfertile country, the fields of which are in general large, having but few trees round them, and those of a stunted unthriving aspect; above these hills northward is Downe-court and Warren-street, beyond which the parish extends more than a mile, as far as Ashden and Syndal, in the valley between Hollingborne and Doddington, a poor country and a flinty barren soil.
The town of Lenham stands in the valley between the quarry and chalk hills, which is here about two miles wide, rather nearer the latter, in a damp and moist situation, owing to the springs which rise near it, of which further mention will be made hereafter. It is rather a dull and unfrequented place, and of but little traffic, in short I cannot give a better description of it than in the words of the inhabitants themselves, who, on travellers passing through it, and enquiring if it is Lenham, in general make answer, "Ah, Sir, poor Lenham."
The church stands at the south end of it, and being westward of the line which separates the two divisions of the county, the town itself, as well as the parish, is esteemed to belong to West Kent, and all the parish business is transacted at the Maidstone sessions accordingly; the market, which was granted to the abbot of St. Augustine's, as has been mentioned before, to be held within his manor here, has been discontinued many years, but in 1757 there was an attempt made to revive it for the buying and selling of corn, and other such commodities, and it was ordered by the lord of the manor to be held on a Friday weekly, but I am informed it has been but little resorted to. The fair, which has been mentioned as having been granted likewise to the abbot, is now held yearly by the alteration of the stile on June 6, for horses and cattle, and there is another fair held on October 23, for the like purpose. A market is likewise held at Sandway, in this parish, for bullocks, upon every Tuesday after Allhallows-day, Nov. I, until Christmas.
Near the foot of the chalk hills lie the three estates of Shelve, on the opposite or southern part of the parish, where the soil is mostly a barren sand, there are several small heaths or fostalls; through this part of the parish the high road from Ashford runs over Lenham, formerly called Royton heath, and by Chilston park pales and Sandway, over Bigon-heath, towards Leeds castle and Maidstone; southward of this heath the parish extends westward, taking within its bounds the estate of Ham, the house of which has been rebuilt in a handsome manner within these few years, and thence southward to Runham-place, Platt-heath, and Leverton-street, at the boundary of it, near the quarry hills, where it joins to Bought on Malherb.
The western and south-east parts of this parish are watered by two several streams, for at the eastern extremity of the town of Lenham, at Streetwell, there rises a spring, which is accounted the head of the river Stour, which flowing from thence southward by Royton-chapel, at about a mile distance from its rise, receives into its stream two other small ones from the north-west, which rise in the grounds at Chilston, at a small distance from each other, and then flowing in one stream through the hamlet of Water-street south-eastward, it turns a mill in its way to Little Chart, and so goes on in its way to Ashford and Canterbury.
A head of one of the branches of the river Medway likewise rises at Ewell, adjoining to Bigon-heath, in the western part of this parish, whence it is frequently called the river Len; from hence this stream directs its course first westward, then northward by Runham, and so on to Holme mill in Harrietsham, in its way towards Leeds-castle and the main river at Maidstone.
LENHAM has been supposed by several of our learned antiquaries, among whom are Camden, Lambarde, and Gale, to have been the Roman station, mentioned in the 2d iler of Antonine, by the name of Durolevum, corruptly, as they say, for Durolenum, and the latter, in the British language, signifying the water Lenum, induced them, together with the situation, to conjecture this place to have been that station.
And Camden is further confirmed in this opinion, from this place being situated on a circular way of the Romans, which formerly, as Higden of Chester affirms, went from Dover through the middle of Kent. (fn. 1)
The aqua Lena, or the spring at Streetwell here, so, called perhaps from the strata of the Romans, which led hither, is thought to have been meant by the water Lenum, and that this, might give name to this station; and indeed Roman remains have been from time to time discovered from Keston, by Comb Bank, Stone-street, Oldberry camp, Ofham, Barming, Maidstone, Boxley, &c. in a continued and almost strait line, to within a few miles of this place and Charing.
¶But there having never been any Roman antiquities found at Lenham, induced Mr. Somner and others to look elsewhere for this station. That learned antiquarian, as well as Mr. Burton and Dr. Thorpe, have fixed it at or near Newington, in the great road from Rochester to Canterbury, near which great quantities of urns, and other relics of Roman antiquity, have been dug up.
