Commonly known as "the church in the graveyard" - St Stephen's and the graveyard that surrounds it is an oasis in one of the most densely populated areas of Sydney.
Camperdown Cemetery was founded in 1848 and consecrated in 1849. It was founded as an Anglican General Cemetery, accepting the dead of all denominations, but burying them with the rites of the Church of England. Previous cemeteries in Sydney were the so-called Old Burial Ground of 1792, in George Street on the site of the Sydney Town Hall, and the New Burial Ground (1819–68) in Devonshire Street on the site of Central Railway Station, Sydney.
The cemetery was proposed by a group of Sydney businessmen who formed the Church of England Cemetery Trust and in 1848 purchased 13 acres (53,000 m2) of land "beyond the boundary stone" of Sydney, from Maurice Charles O'Connell, grandson of Governor Bligh. The land was part of a grant made to Governor Bligh and named "Camperdown" by him in commemoration of the Battle of Camperdown in which he had taken part. The land passed to his daughter Mary, who married Bligh's Aide de Camp, Major Putland, and following his death, Sir Maurice O'Connell. The cemetery was consecrated by Bishop William Grant Broughton on 16 January 1849.
In 1871, the small Church of St Stephen's Newtown, built by Edmund Blacket in 1844, could no longer contain the congregation. A site was needed for a larger church. By an act of parliament, the Church of England was permitted to build a church within the existent cemetery and Edmund Blacket was again the architect. The resulting St Stephen's Church, which held its first service in 1874, is a masterpiece of Gothic Revival architecture, and contributes greatly to the heritage significance of the site as a whole.

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.

The Stations of the Cross at the Church of he Immaculate Conception in Bloomfield are simple wooden carvings mounted to the unusual surface of the walls. When the church was built in 1961, it was a bit controversial. Many people were unsure about its severely modern architecture. Situated on an odd-shaped plot of urban land across a narrow street from West Penn Hospital, the unusual angles and arches and walls of stained glass have created a sanctuary which is at the same time large and intimate, and not at all austere as are many modern churches.
Because of declining city population, Immaculate Conception has merged with two other churches, another in Bloomfield and one in Lawrenceville, to form St. Maria Goretti Parish. It remains one of the few churches in the city whose doors can be found open every day.
Spires of the Hari Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah. The church also operates an AM radio station from this location.
Holy Rood, the parish church of the Cotswold village of Shilton. Holy Rood is a simple, unadorned buidling of c. 1150. The chancel was added about a century later. Finally a tower was added in the 15th century.
There are still the vestiges of medievel painting and pattern work on some of the nave's arches, together with carved label stops. The building was restored, sensitively, by G. E Street in 1884-8.

Village Akatovo (Акатово), Klin Raion, Moscow Oblast, Russia
The monastery, which is located on the high right bank of the River Nudol, was constructed over the period 1892-98. Two-hundred nuns lived here until the monastery was closed in 1927, at which time three nuns were arrested and shot. The monastery served as a summer camp for Soviet Pioneers from 1930-90. The monastery was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 2007. It now has special status and is supervised by the Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch.
