The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral, has witnessed many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has become one of the city's most recognizable symbols with its multi-colored tile roof. It has 256 stairs from the top to the bottom
Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford and died on March 14, 2018, in Cambridge. He was a British theoretical physicist and cosmologist who became famous for his work on black holes and the origin of the universe. One of his most important ideas is that black holes emit radiation, now known as Hawking radiation. In the 1960s, he was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease ALS, which gradually left him almost completely paralyzed. Nevertheless, he continued his research at the University of Cambridge and held the prestigious Lucasian Chair of Mathematics for many years. As an author, he became world famous primarily for his book "A Brief History of Time", in which he explained complex questions about space and time in a way that was understandable even to people without a scientific background.
Stephen is a member of the the talented Fergus McCreadie jazz trio. Their latest album, Forest Floor is shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.
St Stephen's Hall stands on the site of the royal Chapel of St Stephen's, where the House of Commons sat until the Chapel was destroyed by the fire of 1834.
The hall closely matches the dimensions of the old Chapel, being 29 metres (95 feet) long and 9 metres (30 feet) wide. Brass studs in the floor mark the former position of the Speaker's Chair and the Table of the House, and two brass tablets in the wall at the opposite end mark the position of the screen which separated the lobby from the Chamber.
St Stephen's Hall was in fact used by the House of Commons on the first day of each session from 1945 to 1950, during the rebuilding of the bombed Commons Chamber. In 1960, the whole Hall was renovated and the war damage repaired.
Statues of famous parliamentarians face one another on either side of the Hall; these include John Hampden, Robert Walpole, William Pitt and Charles James Fox. On either side of the doorways are statues of early Kings and Queens of England.
At the east and west ends of the Hall are two large mosaic panels by R. Anning Bell relating to the founding of the earliest Chapel by King Stephen and its rebuilding by Edward III. The mosaic at the west end, unveiled in 1926, portrays Edward III approving the plans for the Chapel and handing them back to his master mason, Michael of Canterbury, with representatives of medieval craftsmen standing beside him. The panel at the east end depicts St Stephen holding a stone, in allusion to his martyrdom, with King Stephen and Edward the Confessor at his sides, and was unveiled a year earlier.
The paintings on the walls depict various important events in British history, while the ten stained-glass windows, five on either side, depict the arms of various parliamentary cities and boroughs; these were damaged in air raids during the Second Word War and since restored.

Mia and I shot on stage for the longest time, the light on it was perfect! After I shot some, Mia had Karrah wrap some of the fabric around her head so all credit to that idea goes to Mia

A prominent Stockbridge landmark (great entrance arch)* St Stephen’s from Henderson Row, had become increasingly multi-functional in recent times, and is currently owned by one of the Grand Theft Auto people. The St Vincent Street venue’s grand hall was used for Spud’s group therapy meeting in T2 Trainspotting.

This beautiful mural of Stephen Adams - Oklahoma Thunder's Aussie player - was painted by an Aussie artist here in Oklahoma City. Such Aussie talent - both on the court and with a brush.

This is the interior of St Stephen church in the village of Aldwark, north west of York.
I’m not religious, never have been and I don’t see any reason why I would be in the future, but I love churches. Where ever I am, if there is a church and it’s open I will always go in, I may sit awhile, or I may just walk round it and leave, there was one south of York that had tea and coffee facilities where you could help yourself, so I did :-) and I always find it obligatory to fill in the visitors book. I don’t know when the fascination started, many years ago, but it doesn’t seem to be diminishing as I get older. It’s always a disappointment when I walk up the path to the church door to find it locked on occasions, unfortunately churches aren’t immune from mindless crime and it seems as a last resort they have to lock them, fortunately there are still plenty that are open.
