The Baptistry.

The font is an original George Edmund Street design and is of mexican onyx lined with lead. It has a heavey wooden gothic lid, which is lifted by chains. (The Organ is above.)

The baptistry area was added to the original building in 1896. The two mosaics are therefore later than the others in the church.

Built in 1851-1870, this Gothic Revival-style church was designed by Richard Upjohn, and rebuilt with a stone interior to replace the original wooden interior following a fire in 1888 under the direction of Robert W. Gibson, with reconstruction being completed in 1890. The building is clad in Medina Sandstone with two sandstone spires topped with crosses, the taller of which sits atop the main tower and belfry of the church and is among the tallest unreinforced masonry spires in the world. The rest of the building features slate gabled roofs, with gable parapets at the ends. The church features stained glass lancet windows, with the larger windows featuring tracery, an octagonal western tower and a square eastern tower, buttresses, an irregular footprint, pinnacles, and gothic arched entrance doors. The church’s interior features slate and marble mosaic tile flooring, a Mexican Onyx altar, and ornately carved oak furnishings, hammer beam vaulted ceilings, columns supporting gothic arches, with the smaller Richmond Chapel featuring a hammer beam ceiling with painted panels, a decorative oak screen between the chapel and the nave of the main sanctuary, and decorative chandeliers. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1987, due to its historical and architectural significance. The building continues to serve as the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Buffalo, and is a very well preserved example of 19th Century Gothic Revival architecture.

The altar is madeof Italian marble and Mexican onyx. It rests on a solid rock foundation. Above the altar is an 1873 woodcarved crucifix made by an early parishoner from a walnut tree on his farm.

A fifty-two feet high baldachin (canopy) of carved butternut is richly decorated with pinnacles, gables, niches and angels. Designed by J.E. Brielmaier of Milwaukee.

The "Vision of Peace" is a 36-foot-tall sculpture made of Mexican Onyx in the Ramsey County courthouse in Saint Paul Minnesota.

When there was a tempest-in-a-teapot controversy about secular Easter decorations on City and County property, an unknown-to-me protester arranged a "Vision of Peeps" display at the base of the sculpture.

The Saint Paul mayor handled it well, declaring that the secular nature of bunnies and chickies did not qualify as a religious observance. These symbols of the celebrations of spring predate Christianity. The Peeps (tm), of course, do not.

This lamp is made from Onyx with a crystallization from Aragonite. These lamps are hand-crafted and come from Mexico. The lamp gives off an energetic vibe as well as a relaxing ambient. The Onyx is extracted from mines located in the Tehuacan region in Puebla, Mexico. Mexican Onyx is a form of calcite and can come in a variation of color such as orange, tiger, yellow, and brown. Aragonite aids in emotional and physical healing and it is also believed to raise energy levels and to help clear and focus the mind so that you can concentrate on the task at hand.

on the road to tulum

we stopped at this really neat place that was a sort of store/museum run by local Mayans. here they were showing the raw onyx (and other stones) that were used in some of the carvings they sold. they had a deep black onyx, a clearer onyx, a sort of rainbow onyx and a beautiful gold-flecked onyx.

St Saviour, South Street, Eastbourne, East Sussex, 1865-67.

By George Edmund Street (1824-1881).

Grade ll* listed.

Eastbourne was expanding rapidly, its development having been stimulated by the arrival of the railway in 1849 which encouraged people to live or spend time here in the summer. The seventh Duke of Devonshire, who owned much land in the area, had started to lay out a new town to the south and west of the old town. This new development was at a considerable remove from the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, and the establishment of a new Anglican place of worship was encouraged by the vicar of Eastbourne, aided by a local benefactress, Harriott Manby, and her wealthy friend, George Whelpton, whose son was to become the first vicar. The family fortune was made out of Whelpton's pills, a patent medicine produced by George Whelpton and Son in Louth, Lincolnshire. The site was given by the Duke of Devonshire. The foundation stone was laid on 17 October 1865 and the church was consecrated by the Bishop of Chichester on 31 January 1867. The churchmanship was in the Tractarian tradition, hence the attention paid to having fine architecture, fittings and embellishments.
