St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

The Gateway Arch is a 630-foot (192 m) monument in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. Clad in stainless steel and built in the form of a weighted catenary arch, it is the world's tallest arch, the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere, and Missouri's tallest accessible building. Built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States, and officially dedicated to "the American people," the Arch, commonly referred to as "The Gateway to the West" is the centerpiece of Gateway Arch National Park and has become an internationally recognized symbol of St. Louis, as well as a popular tourist destination.
The Arch was designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen in 1947; construction began on February 12, 1963 and was completed on October 28, 1965 at an overall cost of $13 million (equivalent to $80.6 million in 2018). The monument opened to the public on June 10, 1967. It is located at the site of St. Louis's founding on the west bank of the Mississippi River.

Church of St Andrew Walpole Norfolk , now mostly 15c reusing some 14c fabric , built of limestone with 3- stage brick with angle buttresses. In the bottom stage on the west side is an arched door, to the left of which is a statue niche, and to the right a chamber under a lean-to roof, which was probably an anchorite cell or wayside shrine. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/D3x97t
The building can be dated from bequests made for the nave in 1443, for the porch in 1463, and a donation in 1504 for lead.
The tower has 6 bells, the oldest cast in 1603 by Richard Holdfield, the next in 1622 by Tobias Norris , two were cast in 1768 by Joseph Eayre, the next in 1792 by Thomas Osborn, and the last in 1905 by John Taylor & Co.
The rood turret spires and sanctus bell turret echo one another..
The tower clock commemorates the 60 anniversary of Queen Victoria's reign.
At the moment the church is empty under the protection of the Churches Conservation Trust, The concrete floor of the 1897 restoration has resulted in damp erosion to the stone nave piers and on my visit the floor had been taken up in places with a walkway bridging the nave to the chancel.. Sadly the lead from the south aisle roof was recently stolen.
The Basilica of St. Josaphat, located in the Lincoln Village neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, is one of 62 minor basilicas found in the United States. In its grandeur and opulence it is an excellent example of the so-called Polish Cathedral style of church architecture found in the Great Lakes region of North America. Modeled after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, it features one of the largest copper domes in the world. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated Milwaukee Landmark.
Window in the south aisle by Burlison & Grylls, c1890.
Rugby's parish church of St Andrew is an imposing landmark in the town centre, and highly unusual in possessing two towers, one 15th century with battlements at the west end, and the tapering steeple by William Butterfield at the north east corner, part of his rebuilding of the ancient church. (unusual as this two-towered church is, the town's catholic church also evolved in a similar way, thus both major churches share the effect of asymmetrical towers, a unique situation in Britain).
The arrangement was even more impressive until 1983 when the massive nearby 1870s George Gilbert Scott church of the Holy Trinity, technically sharing the same churchyard, was tragically demolished.
The medieval St Andrew's had already been much altered, having begun life as a village church it was gradually expanded to serve the growing town. The nave had been enlarged in the 1800s and by the time of Butterfield's further expansion of the building in 1877-85 only the west tower and the north nave arcade survived of the medieval building. These were retained, the old nave effectively becoming the north aisle (and outer north aisle!) of a much larger nave built to the south, complete with south aisle and a lofty chancel.
The interior is therefore every bit as eccentric as the exterior, with Butterfield's characteristic use of coloured stonework and a sanctuary rich in marble finishes. The most dramatic feature is the chancel arch surmounted by a cross adorned with geometric patterning and supported by richly carved corbels. The font too betray's Butterfield's love of contrasting coloured marbles.
The stained glass in the main east and west windows (along with the north and south windows of the sanctuary) is by Clayton & Bell. The remainder, in the aisles and the large Baptism window under the north steeple (difficult to see since conversion to a vestry) is all the work of Burlison & Grylls of London, with their characteristic neo-Flemish fine drawing in subdued tones.
The church is usually open and welcoming during the day with a small cafe set up at the west end. I am especially grateful to Helen Bryant on my latest visit for giving me access to the vestries to photograph the glass there.
The former Franciscan monastery church St. Anna's in Kamenz (Germany) consecrated in 1493 now hosts a museum for sacral art exhibits.
Stained glass in the north aisle at Norton Lindsey, made by the studio of Frank Holt of Warwick 1897. These small windows are very unusual of their date, using minimal leadwork and therefore being painted like a canvas on a mere four panes of glass.
Holy Trinity at Norton Lindsey is a small, unpretentious building, consisting of a short nave and tiny chancel, mainly of 13th century date but much restored in the Victorian period when the north aisle was added. There never was a tower, instead a simple Victorian bellcote crowns the west wall.
Inside one has to adjust to the gloom in this small and richly glazed space. The glass is all Victorian but of rather good quality (most of it except the east window being the work of the studio of Holt of Warwick) though not admitting much light.
The furnishings are mostly 19th century too, except the plain font which is substantially earlier than the present building.
The church is normally kept open and welcoming to visitors.
Church of St Andrew, Norwich, the second largest medieval parish church here. c1469 South porch, c1474 north porch, 1478-96 tower - Nave & chancel completed by 1506 replacing an existing structure which had major bequests made to it in 1386 The wealth of the parish is reflected by the use of freestone to face the building.
In 1557 Elizabeth Cooper, wife of a pewterer, was burned as a heretic in the reign of Mary Tudor
After the Reformation the church became a preaching house for the new 'Protestant' religion. In August 1603 John Robinson (pastor) d1625 became associate pastor here having strong links with Holland and Flanders. It was the home to a considerable number of foreign workers and refugees and its most influential political leaders and merchants were Puritans. Robinson was one of the founders of the Congregational church and later became pastor to the Pilgrim Fathers before their emigration to the New World.
In 1607 Churchwardens excommunicated for installing special seating for local dignitaries

"The wall paintings were hidden by limewash and over the centuries forgotten, until 1852, when work on the interior revealed these treasures" The wall paintings were probably commissioned around 1450 but covered over after 100 years due to the Protestant Reformation. They were accidentally discovered in 1852
