Village Podzhigorodovo, Klin Raion, Moscow Oblast, Russia
The church was built in 1778-1783 by two brothers Yurevyh, local noblemen who had a large manor here. It's believed that the architect was the famous Russian architect Vasily Bazhenov. Unusual two-story church with the winter church on the first floor and the summer church on the second floor. The exterior was plastered and whitewashed in 1906.
The last owner of the Podzhigorodovo manor was nobleman Vladimir Sokolov. He was a revolutionary and his party nickname was Volsky. Vladimir Lenin visited Sokolov before the 1917 revolution. There's a photo of Lenin playing chess with Sokolov in his Podzhigorodovo manor house.
Olga remembers climbing the bell tower as a child. The church was used then to store chemical fertilizer. She still recalls the smell of the fertilizer and the treacherous circular staircase.
The church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1992. Services are presently held in the first floor winter church. The second floor summer church has not been restored. Like many rural churches in Russia, the Church of Archangel Michael is undergoing slow restoration and still dominates the surrounding landscape.

CHAPEL OF ST. JAMES-THE-LESS: In its vigorous, harmonious composition, this small funeral chapel is a splendid example of High Victorian Gothic design. Its sense of strength and spirituality is derived from the subtle contrast of its stone walls, enveloping roofs, and soaring spire. The chapel was erected in 1860 to plans by Cumberland and Storm, one of Toronto's leading 19th-century architectural firms. Situated on a slight rise, St. James is enhanced by the picturesque setting of its cemetery, which was opened in 1844 and is the oldest established cemetery in the city. www.stjamescathedral.on.ca/Cemetery/tabid/64/Default.aspx

The crypt of York Minster was remodelled in 1154. It is the oldest part of the present building, dating from Norman times. It also contains some remains of an earlier building dating from the Roman era.
York Minster is one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in northern Europe. There had been a church building on this site since the 7th century, and a series of buildings followed. Some were badly damaged by fire, and others by invaders, including the Danes in 1075. The present building dates from around 1220 when the then Archbishop, Walter de Gray, ordered a Gothic-style cathedral to be built on the foundations of an earlier Norman cathedral. The new building would be comparable with that at Canterbury. Building took place over the next 250 years, and the western towers were completed in 1472 when the building was finally completed and consecrated.

Vast and solitary, St George's is one of the most magnificent 18th-century church in Dorset. It rises from the rocky, treeless and dramatic peninsula of Portland and is the masterwork of a local mason named Thomas Gilbert whose grandfather supplied the Portland stone used to build St Paul’'s Cathedral. The interior is fabulously preserved with it's lectern, pulpit, box pews and galleries all surviving. It is a 'preacher’s church’ with all the seating facing the twin pulpits – one for reading 'the Word’ (scripture), the other for lengthy sermons. The sprawling churchyard is a treasure trove of fabulous headstones and memorials that tell tales of murder, piracy and adventure in a gloriously atmospheric setting. There are inscriptions to Mary Way and William Lano, who were shot and killed in 1803 by a press gang, and Joseph Trevitt, an assistant warder at Portland Prison who was murdered by a convict in 1869. - See more at: www.visitchurches.org.uk/Ourchurches/Completelistofchurch...
The Ramor Theatre now occupies what was the Church of Mary Immaculate, the town’s Roman Catholic church built in 1846 on land donated rent-free by the 2nd Marquis of Headfort. The church was closed in 1989 and later purchased by the Cavan County Council for the Ramor Theatre which opened in September 1999. A new Catholic church was built at the other side of the town to serve its congregation.
The former National Irish Bank (NIB) building was completed c.1870 and was finished in the Italianate style that was popular in Ireland at the time. The Danish owned NIB closed four of their branches across County Cavan, including this one in Virginia, to centralise their county’s banking service at Navan. This building has been vacant since 2009.
The terrace of fine early 19th century town houses on the right are empty and derelict. They are vulnerable to decay from neglect, developers and vandalism.
The Parish of Virginia Church of Ireland building was completed c.1821, aided with a Board of First Fruits grant that was one of many grants given for the building of Anglican churches across Ireland. This parish, also known as the Parish of Lurgan, now includes the four Anglican churches that were amalgamated into one incumbency in 1972 to become the Virginia Group of Parishes whereas previously, each operated separately under their own ministry. The current incumbent of the parish is the Reverend Craig McCauley.
The origins of Virginia town go back to the Elizabethan Ulster Plantations when in 1612 an English Adventurer, Captain John Ridgeway, was granted a thousand acres by Royal patent for estates and to build a new town there. Virginia was intended to be one of 25 new towns to be built at strategic locations within Ulster and secure the land for the English Crown and protect it from a hostile indigenous population. The number of settlers from Scotland and England were insufficient and so the new town had not yet materialised. In 1622 the Virginia estates were sold to Lord Plunkett, 1st Earl of Fingall, a long-standing Anglo-Irish Lord who already held extensive estates in County Meath. Plans to commence laying out the new town were submitted in 1638 but these were set back by the 1641/1642 Irish Rebellion.
Plans to develop the town lay in abeyance until around 1750 when the Plunketts sold their Virginia estates to Thomas Taylor (Lord Headfort). The Taylors soon set about improving the lands with drainage scheme, afforestations and other agricultural improvement as well as new building within the town and the establishment of regular markets there. By the 1830’s the population of the town had increased to over 900 inhabitants and much of the town’s buildings from this period still survive. Industry in the region was mainly agricultural, especially flax growing for the linen industries, creamery products and cattle. In 1863, the completion of the Kells to Oldcastle railway line by the Great Northern Railway (GNR) facilitated transport of goods in and out of the town and greatly improved trade within the region.
Post-Famine conditions (post-1850’s) hit the town hard and emigration became endemic causing a gradual but continual fall in the town’s population, falling to its lowest with only 297 residents (1951 census). Over the past fifty years, the town’s population recovered and there were 2,282 residing in Virginia town (2011 census), a 32% increase over the previous census of 2006. Virginia, along with many other towns within commuting distance of Dublin, was heavily developed as a ‘commuter town’ during the building boom of the 1990’s and 2000’s with new housing estates. It is said that the town was named Virginia after Queen Elizabeth I, who was known as “The Virgin Queen”.

All Saints, Spelsbury, on a gorgeous afternoon in early spring. Like so many country churches, All Saints is a mixture built up slowly across the centuries: mainly Norman, thirteenth, fourteenth and eighteenth century architecture in this case, with a makeover of sorts in the nineteenth century. The inside was chill and musty when I visited, as if no one other than the dead had really been there for some while. The village itself feels as tranquil as it has ever been.
All Saints is where the Restoration poet the Earl of Rochester is buried. He died in 1680, worn out at the age of only 33 - "So great a man and so great a sinner" the priest said at the funeral. One can imagine a fair few mourners shaking their heads at those words while secretly wishing they had enjoyed a tenth of the talent and half the riotous times Rochester had managed. Besides, one warms to someone who didn't waste time doing things by halves while writing poetry still read three centuries later.
Rochester's deathbed repentance in Woodstock - even the farmboy in charge of the piggery was roped in to attend, according to John Aubrey - was not the least of his exploits. Bishop Gilbert Burnet's report on Rochester's debate with him as the poet's health began to fail, "Some Passages", was rushed straight into print. It became a best-selling work and was taken up as a triumph of the faith.
This image was taken using the high resolution feature on my Olympus E-M5 Mark II. The camera takes and then combines eight shots, each one slightly offset. Movement during the process can throw off the final image, and if one looks closely there are areas in this image where grass or branches waving in the wind are fuzzy and indistinct. But it's largely unnoticeable on a screen and is probably so on most prints, except for very large ones. The file comes in at a huge 63.7 megapixels (9216 x 6912), so this image on Flickr is a substantial reduction on that.

There are some splendid windows in Tavistock Parish Church, and this one at the west end of the church is perhaps my favourite. It dates from the late 19th century.
The church of Saint Eustachius (Eustace) in the centre of Tavistock, Devon, was named after the Roman centurion who became a Christian. It was dedicated by Bishop Stapledon in 1318 though there are very few remains of that building today. It was rebuilt and enlarged into its current form between 1350 and 1450, at which time the Clothworkers' Aisle (an outer south aisle) was included, an indication of the growing importance of the textile industry to the local economy. The trade was protected by a 1467 statute. The whole is in the Perpendicular style and consists of a nave and chancel, both with two aisles, tower and outer south aisle. It possesses a lofty tower supported on four open arches, one of which was reputedly added to accommodate the 19th century "tinners" or tin miners.

The last owner of the Podzhigorodovo manor was nobleman Vladimir Sokolov. He was a revolutionary and his party nickname was Volsky. Vladimir Lenin visited Sokolov before the 1917 revolution. There's a photo of Lenin playing chess with Sokolov in his Podzhigorodovo manor house.
Olga remembers climbing the bell tower as a child. The church was used then to store chemical fertilizer. She still recalls the smell of the fertilizer and the treacherous circular staircase.
The church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1992. Services are presently held in the first floor winter church. The second floor summer church has not been restored. Like many rural churches in Russia, the Church of Archangel Michael is undergoing slow restoration and still dominates the surrounding landscape.

The large parish church of St John, built between 1340 and 1510, is renowned for its flying-buttressed spire, which is 181 feet tall and is the only medieval stone spire in Essex. It has perpendicular windows and a stained glass representing Adam and Eve. The church, which stands on a hill and overlooks the town, is often referred to as "the Cathedral of Essex". According to Simon Jenkins it is one of England's thousand best churches. It is a typical "wool church", built with the proceeds from England's medieval wool trade.
