Basilica of St. George
Jiřské Square, Prague Castle
Romanesque basilica of St.George is the oldest preserved building of the Prague Castle. It was founded aroung 920 during the reign of Vratislav I as a single-naved church from which only the foundations were preserved. The building was enlarged during the reign of Boleslav II in 973 as the Prague Bishopry and the Convent of St. George were established; a short triple-naved basilica in a pre-Romanesque style was founded. Until 1005 the basilica served as the official burial place of the Přemyslid family. The basilica was elongated into its present length after a fire in 1142 when the towers were built (northern one named Eva and the southern one called Adam) and a triple-naved crypt under the main choir too. In the first half of the 13th century the Chapel of St. Ludmila was built-on. The western façade is from mid-14th century and in 1657-80 it was restyled in early Baroque style by F. Caratti; the façade is quite simple and moderately decorated. The last part of the building, the oval Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk based on a plan by F. M. Kaňka was built in 1718-22 on the occasion of St. John’s beatification. At the turn of the 19th and 20th century the church was renovated based on a purism plan by E. Mach. The minimalistic interior hides the tombs of its founders – princes Vratislav I and Boleslav II, St.Ludmila, patron of the Czech state, is buried in the chapel of St.Ludmila. The most precious part of the church decorations are partially preserved Romanesque frescos of Heavenly Jerusalem on the choir walls or a fresco and a painting by V. V. Rainer in the St. John of Nepomuk Chapel. Three-part Romanesque relief of Madonna with Jesus was originally placed in the tympanum of the main portal of the basilica but now is found in the crypt by the alter; is it is one of the most precious artefacts of Czech Romanesque sculpture. The church is used as a concert hall.
I was able to shoot the construction of St. George's Towers from one of the McNair Towers opposite Whampoa River. Next time I'm in Singapore, I should return and see what became of it!
St George’s Church in Brailes in south Warwickshire is locally called "The Cathedral of the Feldon" – the field land south of the River Avon. The foundations date from the 12th century while the south aisle of this Grade I-listed church was added in about 1280. It is the oldest part of the present church building. The western part of the south arcade was added in about 1330-40 when the nave seems to have been extended westwards to its present length of six bays. At the same time the clerestory was added to the nave and the chancel was rebuilt with its present Decorated Gothic east window. With its reticulated tracery this is regarded as the church's masterpiece. The north aisle may also be 14th century, but rebuilding and alterations in 1649 and 1879 have obscured the evidence for its original appearance. In the 15th century an additional window was inserted in the south wall of the chancel. The octagonal font dates from around 1400 and has eight different tracery patterns. Simon Jenkins considers St George's to be one of England's Thousand Best Churches.

1999 marks the third time in my life when I picked up the photography bug. Armed with a new Canon FTb to replace one lost in a fire, I was out photographing again.
Check out an album containing more of my photos shot in 1999, or photos from The City of Guelph, which was my inspiration at this time.

Panel from north window, Holy Trinity church, Long Melford, Suffolk. Depicts St George, with defeated dragon at his feet. This is an interesting treatment of St George in that he is normally shown in armour and with an emphasis on his sword and lance. Here his clothing is more 'civilian' and he appears to have defeated the dragon with a cross.
The full window also contains St Edmund and St Martin and was erected to commemorate a local incumbent at Long Melford, Rev Martyn. It dates from 1912
This old church sits in the busiest shopping street in Scotland, Buchanan Street ~ it is the oldest church in the area and its construction was completed in 1808.

The Neo Classical St George's Hall contains concert halls and law courts, and is Grade I listed. The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner thought it one of the finest neo-Grecian buildings in the world. A competition in 1839 to design the hall was won by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, an architect aged only 25. Elmes died in 1847 and the work was continued by John Weightman, Corporation Surveyor, and Robert Rawlinson, structural engineer, until in 1851 Sir Charles Cockerell was appointed architect. Cockerell was largely responsible for the decoration of the interiors. On my first visit I was suprised to be greeted by a blind guide but need not have worried as he certainly knew his stuff. The two lads in the picture riding children's bikes had just stopped to discuss the relative merits of the Gothic and Classical styles.The former is represented by the old North Western Hotel directly facing St Georges Hall. Both are impressive but I know which I prefer!
A church inspired by St Paul's Cathedral
Vast and solitary, St George's is one of the most magnificent 18th-century churches 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 its 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.

Yes, it's another shot of one of my familiar subjects, the St George Wharf luxury apartment complex at Vauxhall.
After my early-morning sojourn into town this past weekend, I came back through Vauxhall, and thought I'd try getting a new perspective on this oft-photographed location. I'm not aware of other shots from here (although I'm sure there are plenty of you go looking), and seeing as the gate to the River Bus pier was open, I took advantage of that and used the opportunity for a few quick snaps.
Fairly challenging conditions, shooting back towards a pretty bright, cloudy sky, but I quite like how this one turned out.
St. George's Anglican Church is located on Church Street in Fort Langley, B.C. The church was build in 1901 and the first service was held in October 1901.
The Convent of Saint George was a Benedictine convent located in the Prague Castle in the Czech Republic. Founded in 973, the convent was next to the seat of ecclesiastical and state power in Bohemia and occasionally the entire Holy Roman Empire, and played an important historical role. Although no longer active, the convent's building and the attached Basilica dedicated to Saint George still exist; the building now houses the Czech National Gallery's collection of 19th century Bohemian art.
A shot that would be difficult apart from the coronavirus crisis as this street is normally heavily parked with cars for much of the day and night; the blossom just squares it off perfectly. St. George's Church, Belfast is a Church of Ireland church located on High Street in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is the oldest Church of Ireland church in Belfast. It was designed by Dublin architect John Bowden and opened in 1816. Major refurbishment work was completed in June 2000. It has a simple nave and chancel plan and is built of sandstone. The west end, facing High Street, has a large Corinthian pillared portico, giving the impression that it is a two storied building. The portico was originally made to order in Egypt for Frederick Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry, to adorn the main entrance of Ballyscullion House in County Derry, built in 1788. After the Earl died in 1803, the house was gradually dismantled and the portico was bought and transported to Belfast. To reach its new home, the portico was initially hauled by horse and cart to Lough Neagh. From there it went by barge, reputedly the first barge cargo brought to Belfast from Lough Neagh by the new Lagan Canal Navigation (now disused). The coats of arms on the pediment are of the Diocese of Down and the city of Belfast.
During the 19th Century, Belfast became the premier Irish industrial city – indeed one of the epicentres of the Industrial Revolution worldwide – and the population of the city grew rapidly. As a result, the new church of St. Anne became full to overflowing within a few decades. A group of parishioners formed themselves into Building Committee, and with minimal support from state or Diocese, erected a chapel of ease on the site of the old Corporation Church which opened in 1816 – this became today’s St. George’s Church.
Although St. George’s began life as a conventional Church of Ireland parish, after 1860 it became influenced by the High Church movement which had sprung to life in England. This High Church movement emphasised that Anglican Churches were part of the universal Catholic Church, and encouraged a renewed focus on the Sacraments of the Church.
In the 20th Century, the residential population of the City Centre dwindled to almost nothing as people moved to the new suburbs. St. George’s suffered from declining congregations for most of the 20th Century, and there were several attempts to close the church. In the 1941 Belfast Blitz, the Parish School, which stood on the site of the current Parish Hall, was destroyed along with many other buildings around High Street. It was mercifully empty at the time.
When The Troubles began, St. George’s sat in the middle of the IRA’s City Centre bombing campaign. The church was damaged on 17 occasions, perhaps most notably when a 150 pound bomb hidden in a coffin in Church Lane exploded on Easter Saturday in 1972, causing serious structural damage to the church, and many parishioners became too afraid to travel into the City Centre. The future for St. George’s looked bleak, although through the difficult years a faithful few, including the Rector, Organist and a small but devoted congregation kept the Parish and its unique traditions alive. St. George’s was sustained in those difficult times by its distinctive ‘High Church’ ethos, which first began to emerge as early as the 1860s, and which has attracted parishioners from across the Greater Belfast area and beyond.
As the level of violence slowly declined through the 1980s, renewal came to St. George’s, with a revived men and boys’ choir and a steady growth in numbers attending services, leading to the vibrant, thriving, church that exists today.
