Presbyterian Church was built in 1901 at the corner of Peel and Colborne Streets with dedication services being held in December 1901. In 1912 it was decided that a larger church was needed and the corner stone for the new building, on an unoccupied section of the same site, was laid on September 12, 1912 (Brantford Weekly Expositor, September 19, 1912, p. 15) with the opening of the church in June 1913. The original church was used as a Sunday school. The church was named for Princess Alexandra of Denmark who later married Edward VII, not because of its proximity to Alexandra Park. This congregation refused to join the United Church of Canada in 1925. Major renovations were done in 1978 with most of the original building being demolished for a new entrance and parking lot

"The time has come when no one must be allowed to remain silent. A universal cry must finally go up to call the new France to the aid of the old. All manner of profanation, degradation and ruin are all at once threatening what little remains of these admirable monuments of the Middle Ages that bear the imprint of past national glory, to which both the memory of kings and the tradition of the people are attached."
Victor Hugo, 1825, Guerre aux Démolisseurs (War On The Demolishers)

The Gothic-styled church is located on the site of the first Roman Catholic church ever built in Buffalo. The church is laid out in a Latin-cross floor plan and features a 245 ft octagonal Medina sandstone steeple with a Seth Thomas clock. Above the steeple rests a 72 ft pierced spire; the tallest open-work spire ever built completely of stone (without reinforcement) in USA.
Inside the church is a 1903 Kimball Organ, which is located in the choir loft
Ripon is located in North Yorkshire, England and is the third smallest city in England
The Ripon Cathedral we see today is the fourth to have stood on this site. Saint Wilfrid brought stonemasons, plasterers and glaziers from France and Italy to build his great basilica in AD 672.

HDR vertorama of St. Edmunsbury Cathedral. Such incredible architecture. We are lucky here in the UK to have so much well preserved architecture. Interestingly, the Gothic style lantern tower featured here was only recently completed in 2005 whereas other parts of this cathedral date back to 1065!!

Day Eleven .. Visit to Liverpool Cathedral before making our way to the Lakes District.
Located in Britain’s largest cathedral, Liverpool Cathedral, the artwork called ‘Gaia’ (meaning the personification of the earth), will hang majestically in the Grade I listed building and features accurate and detailed NASA imagery of the earth.
The installation, by renowned British artist Luke Jerram, will be complemented with a sound composition created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award-winning composer Dan Jones.

Liverpool Anglican Cathedral is Britain's biggest Cathedral, and took 74 years to build from the foundation stone being laid in 1904. Sir John Betjeman called it 'one of the great buildings of the world.' The Cathedral has a full programme of events and hosts many conferences, large-scale gala dinners and functions.
A religious sanctuary may be a sacred place, or a consecrated area of a church or temple around its tabernacle or altar.

The Cathedral of St Patrick and St Joseph (usually known as St Patrick's Cathedral) is a Catholic church in Auckland CBD.
In 1841, the land was acquired by Bishop Jean Baptiste Pompallier, the first Catholic bishop in New Zealand. A wooden chapel was constructed in 1842, replaced by a stone church in 1848, which was expanded in 1884, and finally replaced with the current cathedral in 1907. The church was designated as a cathedral in 1848, and consecrated in 1963.
The church is located on the original site granted by the Crown to Jean Baptiste Pompallier, the first Bishop, on 1 June 1841. To minister to the 300 or 400, mostly Irish, Catholics in Auckland in the 1840s, a wooden chapel, clergy house and school room (the first amenity ready for use) were opened and blessed on 29 January 1843. Work soon began on a more permanent church. In 1845, the Australian architect Walter Robinson arrived in Auckland on the encouragement of Pompallier and he was commissioned to design a stone church. The new church was built on the original grant of land and situated on the corner of Chapel Street (now Federal Street) and Wyndham Street.
At first referred to as a chapel, and then a church, St Patrick's became the Catholic cathedral when Auckland was made a diocese in 1848 and when Pompallier, after a visit to France and Rome, returned to Auckland in April 1850 and made the city (then the capital of New Zealand) his headquarters. This simple, plain church, seating 700, was built of locally quarried hammered scoria and had a very substantial appearance similar to others designed by Walter Robinson at this time.
On 4 May 1884, the foundation stone of a new (24.4m by 12.2m) nave was laid, and the old stone church became the transept – the altar, for which a recess was built in 1895, being on the east wall. The architect for this major addition was Edward Mahoney. Between 1884 and 1885, the nave was extended according to Edward's scheme. The nave had a tower, and the bells for this were brought from Rome. The organ was brought from Brompton Oratory, London for £600. The new addition was opened on 15 March 1885 by Archbishop Redwood, the Archbishop of Wellington.

We arrived in Wells by bus from Bath late in the afternoon. While we were waiting for my freind to pick us up and take us to her place for a couple of night .. we took a walk around Wells.
Built between 1175 and 1490 Wells Cathedral has been described as “the most poetic of the English Cathedrals”. Situated within an easy drive from Bristol, Bath and Cardiff, and set in the medieval heart of England’s smallest city, Wells is the earliest English Cathedral to be built in the Gothic style and has an international reputation.
The current building is a significant landmark in Somerset and the South West. As well as its iconic West Front, Wells Cathedral has unique features that separate it from other English cathedrals including the beautiful ‘scissor arches’ supporting the central tower; a structure which was added in 1338 after the weight of a new spire on the top of the tower threatened to collapse the whole thing. The Cathedral houses one of the largest collections of historic stained glass in the country. Experts agree that the Jesse Window at Wells Cathedral is one of the most splendid examples of 14th century stained glass in Europe, narrowly escaping destruction during the English Civil War. The Cathedral also boasts the famous Wells Clock (which is considered to be the second oldest clock mechanism in Great Britain), the fascinating octagonal Chapter House and one of only four chained libraries in the UK.

Ladner United Church, Delta, BC
I wasn't aware when photographing the main church window and spire that a bird was soaring over head. It fits well with one of the songs in the United Church hymnal.
"She Flies On"
“She comes sailing on the wind,
her wings flashing in the sun;
on a journey just begun, she flies on.
And in the passage of her flight,
her song rings throughout the night,
full of laughter, full of light, she flies on.”
- Voices United, #380

We took the bus to Chichester and had a walk around... dodging the showers. It was rather cold. This is our last day in England. Next stop Paris.
Chichester Cathedral has fine architecture in both the Norman and the Gothic styles, and has been described by the architectural critic Ian Nairn as "the most typical English Cathedral". Despite this, Chichester has two architectural features that are unique among England's medieval cathedrals—a free-standing medieval bell tower (or campanile) and double aisles.[4] The cathedral contains two rare medieval sculptures, and many modern art works including tapestries, stained glass and sculpture, many of these commissioned by Walter Hussey (Dean, 1955–77).
The spire of Chichester Cathedral, rising above its green copper roof, can be seen for many miles across the flat meadows of West Sussex and is a landmark for sailors, Chichester being the only medieval English cathedral which is visible from the sea.

The Church of St Michael's is known as St Michael's Without - it being the first church to be found outside Bath's city walls when exiting from the North Gate. The parish itself was known as St Michael's with St Paul's.
Designed and constructed by craftsmen J. Harvey between 1734 and 1742, the structure featured an impressive dome and was half the size of the current Victorian structure.

The raindrops were trying had to fall. I had to full in tow hours between scans to lit the Radiation Dye go around my body. They were looking for a brake in my leg..they did find a creak in my lower femur. I was in plaster for six weeks so no more walking around the city for a while.

Architectural photo at Gloucester Cathedral, Gloucestershire, UK. The spectacular architecture within the cloisters at Gloucester Cathedral was used as a set for Harry Potter which enabled me to create something magical.. Check out the post on my website for more info.
Many thanks to those who favourite and comment on my photography!

This historic early 20th Century Arts and Crafts-style house has exposed rafter ends at the roof eaves and a relatively simple exterior. The house has been modified with replacement vinyl windows, an addition over the porch, and vinyl siding.
Furthermore, the second-floor addition over the porch was probably originally a balcony.

Just check out the different stages of wall repair on this church! To me, that's what (hopefully) makes the photo.
Best wishes, Ric.

Evening sun approaches and casts shadows through the cloisters at Norwich Cathedral, UK.
Norwich Cathedral has the second largest cloisters, only outsized by Salisbury Cathedral. The cathedral close is the largest in England and one of the largest in Europe and has more people living within it than any other close.
The cathedral was begun in 1096 and constructed out of flint and mortar and faced with a cream-coloured Caen limestone. A Saxon settlement and two churches were demolished to make room for the buildings. The cathedral was completed in 1145 with the Norman tower still seen today topped with a wooden spire covered with lead. Several episodes of damage necessitated rebuilding of the east end and spire but since the final erection of the stone spire in 1480 there have been few fundamental alterations to the fabric.
The large cloister has over 1,000 bosses including several hundred carved and ornately painted ones. The cathedral is on the lowest part of the Norwich river plain with Mousehold Heath, an area of scrubland, to the north.[citation needed]
The cathedral spire, measuring at 315 ft or 96 m, is the second tallest in England despite being partly rebuilt after being struck by lightning in 1169, just 23 months after its completion, which led to the building being set on fire. Measuring 461 ft or 140.5 m long and, with the transepts, 177 ft or 54 m wide at completion, Norwich Cathedral was the largest building in East Anglia. see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich_Cathedral
