Christ Church was built in 1873–74, when it was known as Christ Church, Singlegate.
It is a locally listed building and is designed in a modest but rural Gothic style by Messrs F and H Francis. The church was built using load-bearing yellow London stock bricks and Bath stone.
The church building was consecrated on Ascension Day, 14 May 1874. In 1875 the District Chapelry of Christ Church, Mitcham, was created, and this became a parish some time between 1875 and 1914. It was not until recent years that the name of the parish was changed to Christ Church, Colliers Wood, to reflect changes in population.
Christ Church has strong links with St John's Church, High Path, SW19. It is now part of the Merton Abbey Team Ministry along with St John's and Holy Trinity, South Wimbledon, SW19.

The basilica centers on this mosaic of "Christ Pantocrator" in the semi-dome over the main apse. This mosaic is directly above the high altar and was completed by Maestro Piero in 1506. It replaced a 12th-century original.
The letters "ΙϹ ΧϹ" is an abbreviation (the first and last letters of each word) of the "ΙΗϹΟΥϹ ΧΡΙϹΤΟϹ", Jesus Christ in Greek. This is usually more common in Eastern Christianity.
Four apostles are depicted below. The two visible here are, I believe, Saints Peter and Mark (from the abbreviations near their heads).
Basilica di San Marco; March 2017
"For the Father, who is the source of life,
has made the Son the source of life;
and, because he is the Son of Man,
has appointed him supreme judge.
Do not be surprised at this,
for the hour is coming when the dead will leave their graves
at the sound of his voice:
those who did good will rise again to life;
and those who did evil, to condemnation.
I can do nothing by myself;
I can only judge as I am told to judge,
and my judging is just,
because my aim is to do not my own will,
but the will of him who sent me.’"
– John 5:26-30, which is part of today's Gospel at Mass.

One of the most spectacular, dazzling displays of stained glass of the Arts & Crafts movement is to be found in the west window, the work of Karl Parsons (one of Christopher Whall's most gifted pupils) dating from 1930.
It seems to be little known as a major work of art, and yet is without doubt one of the finest pieces of Arts & Crafts stained glass to be found anywhere. The window depicts a seated Christ in Glory above, flanked by angels, whilst below a gorgeous seraphim bearing a star is flanked by St Laurence and St Agnes. The bottom row shows the Virgin & Child with children being presented by young angels on either side. It is dedicated to the memory of W.G. Phillips, great grandfather of Captain Mark Phillips (father of two of the Queen's grandchildren)
St Laurence's church in Ansley is one of the most rewarding churches of north Warwickshire. It stands in near isolation at Church End, some distance west of the modern Ansley village (which is practically a suburb of Nuneaton).
The earliest parts of the present building are thought to date from c1050 and there are substantial Romanesque features such as the chancel arch (with sculpted capitals) and the north door.
The soaring west tower is 15th century, as is much of the nave, whilst the chancel was extended eastwards in 1760 (the former east window being re-used on the north side with considerable fragments of medieval glass). The final addition was the north aisle and nave arcade of 1913.
The church is sadly normally kept locked, but has regular open days during the summer, so it is best to plan ahead to visit. It is worth getting inside, particularly for it's stained glass, specifically the medieval glass in the Georgian chancel and the spectacular west window by Karl Parsons, one of the finest Arts & Crafts windows in existence.
Lewis Carroll
All in the golden afternoon
Full leisurely we glide;
For both our oars, with little skill,
By little arms are plied,
While little hands make vain pretence
Our wanderings to guide.’
These lines are from the opening poem of Alice in Wonderland, the creation of Lewis Carroll. Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was a mathematics don, and based his most famous character on Alice Liddell, the ten-year old daughter of the dean of Christ Church College, Oxford.
A practice shot of the college from across Christ Church meadow really one of the best ground level views of Oxford's historic heart.
Christ Church (Latin: Ædes Christi, the temple or house of Christ, and thus sometimes known as The House), is one of the largest constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. As well as being a college, Christ Church is also the cathedral church of the diocese of Oxford, namely Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. The cathedral has a famous men and boys' choir, and is one of the main choral foundations in Oxford. It was founded as the Priory of St Frideswide, Oxford, which was a house of the Augustinian canons that was later suppressed as a monastic church under Henry VIII's dissolution of monasteries.
These are photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
Oxford on a cold October day in 2012. We stayed here two nights.
Christ Church Cathedral.
The cathedral was originally the church of St Frideswide's Priory. The site was historically presumed to be the location of the nunnery founded by St Frideswide, the patron saint of Oxford, and the shrine now in the Latin Chapel, originally containing relics translated at the rebuilding in 1180, was the focus of pilgrimage from at least the 12th until the early 16th century.
In 1522, the priory was surrendered to Thomas Cardinal Wolsey, who had selected it as the site for his proposed college. However, in 1529 the foundation was taken over by Henry VIII. Work stopped, but in June 1532 the college was refounded by the King. In 1546, Henry VIII transferred to it the recently created See of Oxford from Osney. The cathedral has the name of Ecclesia Christi Cathedralis Oxoniensis, given to it by Henry VIII's foundation charter.
There has been a choir at the cathedral since 1526, when John Taverner was the organist and also master of the choristers. The statutes of Wolsey's original college, initially called “Cardinal College”, mentioned 16 choristers and 30 singing priests.
Christ Church Cathedral is one of the smallest cathedrals in the Church of England.
The nave, choir, main tower and transepts are late Norman. There are architectural features ranging from Norman to the Perpendicular style and a large rose window of the ten-part (i.e. botanical) type.

Oxford, a city in central southern England, revolves around its prestigious university, established in the 12th century. The architecture of its 38 colleges in the city’s medieval center led poet Matthew Arnold to nickname it the 'City of Dreaming Spires'. University College and Magdalen College are off the High Street, which runs from Carfax Tower (with city views) to the Botanic Garden on the River Cherwell.

Its beginnings go back to the earliest years of Maori European contact in the Bay of Islands when missionaries from across the harbour at the Paihia mission station rowed across to take services in private homes
ХРИСТОС ВАСКРСЕ!
Is the world not becoming a factory and a market place of false brilliance and passing values? Is it not often said today that a man can walk peacefully upon this earth without heaven? It is as if contemporary man has climbed the heights of his Babylonian tower, confident in his own knowledge, but he is often petty, selfish, aggressive, and full of evil intentions that threaten his tower and his survival. We are afraid that this our civilization will too late remember Christ’s words: “Without me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).

"So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further, but they constrained him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them".

Wonderful carving, possibly C11, set into the north wall in Barnack church - somehow it survived the iconoclasts!
"In the Christ of Gethsemane, struggling and filled with anguish, we see ourselves reflected, whenever we pass through the night of searing pain, of separation from friends, of God’s silence. In this sense, it has been said that Jesus "will be in agony until the end of the world: we cannot sleep until that moment, for he seeks companionship and comfort", like everyone else who suffers on this earth. In him too, we see our own face, when it is wet with tears and racked by distress.
But Jesus’ struggle does not yield to the temptation of despair and surrender, but to a profession of confident trust in the Father and his mysterious plan. In that bitter hour it is the words of the "Our Father" that he holds out to us: "Pray that you may not enter into temptation… Not my will, but yours be done!". And then an angel of consolation, strength and comfort appears, who helps Jesus, and us, to persevere to the end of the journey."
- reflection by Monsignor Gianfranco Ravasi, used in the Papal Via Crucis of 2007.
This 17th-century stained glass roundel is in the church of Preston on Stour.
"For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself, and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgement."
– John 5:26-29, which is part of today's Gospel at Mass.

Christ Church with Saint Ewan, 63 Broad Street, Bristol, England. This church was built between 1786 and 1791. The tower appears to have been designed by Thomas Paty who was also architect to the vestry, and the body of the church by his son William, and built by Thomas Paty and Sons. This church replaced a previous medieval one. The entrance and refurbished interior are by Henry Williams in 1883. The building was restored by Priest-in-charge Rev. G. S. Zimmern in 1973.

"Kuka voi meidät erottaa Kristuksen rakkaudesta? Tuskako, vai ahdistus, vai vaino, vai nälkä, vai alastomuus, vai vaara, vai miekka?"
"Vem kan skilja oss från Kristi kärlek? Nöd eller ångest, förföljelse eller hunger, nakenhet, fara eller svärd?"
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?"
Rom. 8:35
