Me: Where is this?
Mom: This is in Aunt Mayme and Uncle John's finished basement at 34 Richmond Street. It was a big deal in those days to have a finished basement, and to have it finished in knotty pine was even bigger.
Me: Well, now it looks sort of...
Mom: Dated?
Me: Tacky.
Mom: Well, it was a big deal in those days. Oh, for your edification—remember when you asked where the men were in the shower photos? The reason you had a separate men's party in the same place was because most of the women couldn't drive. So the men drove them over, and of course they couldn't just go home. In this picture, you can sort of tell Cookie and I are cousins. Look at our mouths, they're kind of the same shape. You can kinda see we're related.
Me: And once again, a corsage.
Mom: Yeah. Corsages were big in those days.

Saint-Malo Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse de Saint-Malo) is a Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to Saint Vincent of Saragossa, and a national monument of France, in Saint-Malo, Brittany.
It was formerly the seat of the Bishop of Saint-Malo. This see was created in 1146 when Jean de Châtillon, Bishop of Aleth, transferred his bishopric to the growing town of Saint-Malo on a more secure site across the river. The monastery of Saint Malo, founded in 1108, became the home of the bishopric and its church the new cathedral, replacing Aleth Cathedral.
It was abolished under the Concordat of 1801 and its territory divided between the dioceses of Rennes, Saint-Brieuc and Vannes.
FRENCH
La cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse de Saint-Malo est une ancienne cathédrale catholique romaine dédiée à saint Vincent de Saragosse, situé à Saint-Malo en Bretagne. Son architecture mélange les styles roman et gothique, et elle est classée monument historique de France1.
Elle a été le siège de l'ancien évêché de Saint-Malo depuis l'année 1146. Ce dernier fut supprimé par le concordat de 1801, et son territoire réparti entre les diocèses de Rennes, de Saint-Brieuc et de Vannes.
L'évêché de Saint-Malo fut créé en 1146, lorsque Jean de Châtillon, évêque d'Aleth depuis 1144, transféra son évêché à Saint-Malo, ville en croissance continue à l'époque, qui constituait en outre un site beaucoup plus sûr. Il fallut attendre 1146 et l'agrément du pape Eugène III, pour que le transfert puisse s'effectuer. Le monastère de Saint-Malo, fondé en 1108, devint la résidence de l'évêque et son église monastique devint cathédrale, remplaçant ainsi la cathédrale Saint-Pierre d'Aleth. Des transformations furent réalisées dont l'édification du chœur, ce qui en fit un monument totalement de style roman.
De cet édifice de style roman du XIIe siècle subsistent la nef, la croisée du transept et une travée des croisillons nord et sud, ainsi qu'une partie du cloître. Le chœur a été reconstruit au XIIIe siècle, la tour commencée au XIIe fut surélevée au XVe, de même que le collatéral sud et trois chapelles du chœur. À la fin du XVIe siècle et au début du XVIIe siècle (entre 1583 et 1607), on reconstruisit le collatéral nord, tandis que le transept nord fut agrandi. L'aile du rosaire au sud fut commencée dans les années 1620. En 1695, les canons de la flotte anglo-hollandaise détruisirent la rosace du chevet, laquelle fut remplacée par trois baies en plein-cintre.
Au XVIIIe siècle, on édifia la chapelle sud, et la tour du clocher fut surélevée. La façade fut reconstruite peu après, en style néoclassique (1772-1773).
Au XIXe siècle, Napoléon III se laissa convaincre par le curé de l'époque de faire coiffer la tour d'une grande flèche ajourée, laquelle fut entourée de quatre clochetons ajourés, construite par Frangeul Père et Fils. (Cette flèche remplaçait un petit dôme d'ardoise).
Au XXe siècle enfin, la cathédrale fut endommagée lors des combats de l'été 1944. La flèche fut pilonée par un destroyer Allemand, croyant qu'elle pourrait servir de repère aux Américains, et elle s'écroula sur la chapelle dite « du Sacré-Cœur ». Les dégâts nécessitèrent une restauration importante qui débuta dès 1944, dirigée par l'architecte Raymond Cornon, et se termina en 1972. La flèche de la cathédrale fut reconstruite en un style plus proche de celui de l'ensemble de l'édifice par l'architecte Prunet et abrite quatre cloches, ce clocher a été vivement contesté par les Malouins à l'époque, et aujourd'hui encore beaucoup de Malouins regrettent l'ancienne flèche.
Suite à la grande restauration de 1944-1972 et aux derniers embellissements, on peut dire que la cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse à Saint-Malo a retrouvé toute sa splendeur.
Une nouvelle grande rosace conçue par Raymond Cornon, a remplacé les trois baies du chevet et restitue le visage de la cathédrale tel qu'il était avant les destructions anglaises de 1695. Jean Le Moal orna de vitraux les fenêtres des bras du transept et du chœur réalisés par Bernard Allain. Les nouveaux vitraux de la nef ont quant à eux été réalisés par Max Ingrand.
Les grandes orgues réalisées par les facteurs Koenig, père et fils, construites en 1977 et inaugurées en 1980. Il est composé de 4 claviers et 1 pédalier et 35 jeux, cet orgue remplace celui de Louis Debierre construit en 1893 de style romantique qui fut détruit en 1944.
Le mobilier du sanctuaire comporte notamment un maître-autel, un siège de présidence et un baptistère en bronze. Ce sont des œuvres d'Arcabas père et fils.
La cathédrale abrite également les restes de l'évêque fondateur Jean de Châtillon, de Jacques Cartier et du corsaire René Duguay-Trouin.
Depuis 2003, elle abrite la statue de la Vierge à l'Enfant dite Notre-Dame de la Grand'Porte. Celle-ci restaurée se trouvait initialement au dessus de la Grand-Porte de Saint-Malo intra-muros où elle pour des raisons de protection et des intempéries remplacée par une copie.

A Catedral de São Vicente de Zaragoza Saint-Malo é um ex-catedral católica romana dedicada a São Vicente de Saragoça, localizado em Saint-Malo, na Bretanha. Sua arquitetura mistura os estilos românico e gótico, e é classificada como um monumento histórico na França 1.
Era o local do bispado ex-St. Malo dos 1146 anos. O último foi suprimido pela Concordata de 1801, e seu território dividido entre as dioceses de Rennes, Saint-Brieuc e Vannes.
O bispado de St. Malo foi criado em 1146, quando Jean de Châtillon, Bispo de Aleth desde 1144, transferiu sua sede em Saint-Malo, o crescimento da cidade continua na época, que era também um local muito mais seguro . Não foi até 1146 ea aprovação do Papa Eugênio III, a transferência pode ter lugar. O mosteiro de Saint-Malo, fundada em 1108, tornou-se a residência do bispo e da igreja monástica tornou-se uma catedral, substituindo a Catedral de St. Pierre Aleth. Transformações foram realizadas com a construção do coro, que fizeram um total de monumentos românicos.
Este edifício românico do século XII, permanecem a nave, o transepto e cintas abrangem o norte eo sul, e parte do claustro. A capela-mor foi reconstruído no século XIII, a torre foi iniciada no décimo segundo ao décimo quinto levantadas, bem como o corredor sul do coro e três capelas. No final do século XVI e início do século XVII (entre 1583 e 1607), que reconstruiu o corredor norte, enquanto o transepto norte foi alargada. A ala sul do Rosário foi iniciada na década de 1620. Em 1695, as armas da frota anglo-holandesa destruiu a rosácea da abside, que foi substituído por três baía semicircular.
No século XVIII, construiu a capela ao sul, ea torre sineira foi levantada. A fachada foi reconstruída logo depois, em estilo neoclássico (1772-1773).
No século XIX, Napoleão III foi persuadido pelo sacerdote do tempo para tampar a torre de uma grande seta perfurado, que foi cercado por quatro torres perfurado, Frangeul construído pelo Pai e Filho. (Esta seta substituiu uma pequena cúpula de ardósia).
Finalmente no século XX, a catedral foi danificada durante o conflito no verão de 1944. A seta foi pilonée um destróier alemão, acreditando que ele poderia servir como uma referência para os americanos, e ela caiu sobre a capela chamada de "Sagrado Coração". O dano exigiu uma grande restauração, que começou em 1944, liderado pelo arquiteto Raymond Cornon, e terminou em 1972. A torre da catedral foi reconstruída em um estilo mais próximo ao de todo o edifício pela Prunet arquiteto e casas quatro sinos, o sino foi fortemente contestada pelo St. Malo na época, e hoje grande parte do Malouins seta velha arrependimento.
Após a grande restauração de 1944-1972 e as últimas melhorias, podemos dizer que a Catedral de São Vicente de Saragoça, em Saint-Malo recuperou toda a sua glória.
Uma janela nova rosa grande desenhado por Raymond Cornon, substituiu os três baías da abside e restaura o rosto da catedral como era antes da destruição da Inglaterra em 1695. Jean Le Moal adornado com vitrais na transeptos e coro conduzido por Bernard Allain. As novas janelas na nave foram entretanto feitas por Max Ingrand.
O grande órgão feito por fatores Koenig, pai e filho, construído em 1977 e inaugurado em 1980. Tem 4 teclados e um pedal e 35 jogos, este órgão substitui o Debierre Louis construída em 1893 em estilo romântico, que foi destruída em 1944.
A mobília do santuário deve incluir um altar, um assento de cadeira e um batistério bronze. Estas são obras de Arcabas pai e filho.
A catedral também abriga os restos mortais do fundador Jean Bispo de Chatillon, Jacques Cartier e corsário René Duguay-Trouin.
Desde 2003, abriga a estátua da Virgem com o Menino conhecida como Nossa Senhora de Porte do Grand '. Ele foi inicialmente restaurados pela Grande Porte de Saint-Malo intra muros, onde por razões de protecção dos elementos e substituído por uma cópia.
Down the hill from Challock and Kings Wood, sitting on the junction of two ancient high roads, but now split in half by the A20, Charing is delightful.
It is nine years perhaps since I was last here. I took two shots outside, and four inside.
How could I have been so blind?
Charing is a tangle of narrow lanes and timber framed houses, with the church at the end of a narrow lane which ends in what used to be the market place. To the north of the square sits what used to be the Bishop's Palace, still an impressive collection of buildings, although now a private dwelling and a farm.
I found the church open, and was first struck by its fine decoration and impressive size.
------------------------------------------
A large church beautifully positioned next to the remains of the medieval Archbishop's Palace just off the High Street. The west tower was built in the late fifteenth century. During its construction the body of the church was destroyed in an accidental fire - started by a man shooting at pigeons on the roof. The replacement roofs are clearly dated on the tie-beams as 1592 and 1620. A fine early seventeenth-century pulpit and nice collection of eighteenth-century tablets add much to the character of the building. The south nave window is a very strange shape, basically square, with four lights of equal height surmounted by a net of elaborate triangles, quatrefoils and, unusually, an octofoil! It is of fourteenth-century date.

CHARING
IS the adjoining parish to Westwell north-westward. It is written in Domesday, Cheringes, and in other antient records, Cerringes and Cherring.
It lies partly below and partly above the upper range of chalk hills, where there is much woodland. It is a healthy, though not a very pleasant situation, from the nature of the soils in it, all which are but poor; about the town or village, and to the summit of the hill it is chalky; above the hill a red cludgy earth covered with slints, and below the town mostly a sand. At the western boundary, next to Lenham, is Charing heath; it is watered by several small streamlets, which rising near the foot of the hills, direct their course southward into the Stour, which runs towards Ashford just below the boundary of it. The village, or town of Charing, as it is more usually called, stands at the foot of the hill, called from it Charing-hill, over which the high road leads through it from Faversham, through Smarden and Biddenden, and thence to Cranbrooke and Tenterden in the Weald. The high road likewise from Ashford, since the new turnpike has been completed, is made by new cuts to pass through this town and Lenham, instead of its former more southern circuit by Chilson park and Sandway towards Maidstone, shortening its distance considerably. Notwithstanding these roads, there is no great matter of traffic through it, the town is unpaved, and has a clean countryfied look, there is a good house in it, formerly belonging to the Poole's, whose arms were, Azure, a lion rampant, argent, semee, of fleur de lis, or. Afterwards to Dr. Ludwell, who bore for his arms, Gules, on a bend, argent, three eagles, azure, between two castles of the second; and then to the Carter's, one of whom sold it to George Norwood, esq. who resides in it. Not far from it is an antient mansion, which has been modernized formerly, called Peirce-house, now belonging to Mr. James Wakeley, who resides in it; at a small distance from the street eastward is the ruinated palace, the church and the vicarage, a pleasant habitable dwelling.
There are large ruins of the archiepiscopal palace still remaining; the antient great gateway to it is now standing, and much of the sides of the court within it, on the east side of which seems to have been the dining-room, the walls of which remain, and it is converted into a barn. On the opposite side to this are many of the offices, now made into stables. Fronting the great gateway above-mentioned, seems to have been the entrance into the palace itself, part of which, on the east side, is fitted up as a dwelling-house, at the back of which, northward, are the remains of the chapel, the walls of which are standing entire, being built of squared stone, mixed with slints; on the side wall of it are three windows, with pointed arches, and at the east end a much larger one, of the same form. Sir Nicholas Gilborne, hereafter mentioned, as having resided here in king James I.'s reign, was son of William Gilborne, esq. of London, who lies buried in St. Catherine's Creechurch, London, descended from the Gilbornes, of Ereswike, in Yorkshire, and bore for their arms, Azure, on a chevron, or, three roses gules, within a bordure of the second. (fn. 1) Sir Nicholas had two sons and several daughters; one of whom, Anne, married Charles Wheler, esq. of Tottenham, grandfather of Sir George Wheler, D. D. and prebendary of Durham, the purchaser afterwards of this manor and palace, as will be further mentioned.
The two sairs which were granted in the 21st year of king Henry VI. are now held on April 29, and October 29, for horses, cattle, and pedlary.
The parish has in it the boroughs of Town, Sandpit, East Lenham, part of Field, and Acton.
Several of our antiquaries have supposed the Roman station, mentioned in the 2d iter of Antonine by the name of Durolevum, corruptly for Durolenum, to have been in this neighbourhood; and Dr. Plot mentions his discovery of a Roman way, which seemed to have passed the Medway at Teston, and crossing Cocksheath, pointed towards Lenham hither. Most of those who have contended for this station having been hereabouts, have fixed it at Lenham. Only two of them, Mr. Talbot and Dr. Stukeley, after much hesitation, where to place it, were for its having been here at Charing; the latter founded his opinion on the Roman antiquities, which he says, have been found all about here, which Horsley accounts for, from a supposition of this having been only a notilia way, and indeed there is but little, if any, foundation for any supposition that the station above-mentioned was here at Charing; that it was a notitia way, there is great reason to suppose, as has been already mentioned before, in the description of Lenham, to which may be added, that there is in this parish, about a mile S. S. W. from the town a hamlet called Stone-street, a name, which is a certain indication of its note in former times.
Mr. Jacob, in his Plantœ Favershamienses, has taken notice of several scarce plants in this parish, to which account the reader is referred from them.
There was a family who took their name from this parish, one of whom, Adam de Cherringes, was excommunicated by archbishop Becket, and, as it should seem, to blot out the heinousness of this offence, afterwards, in the time of archbishop Baldwin, the next successor but one to Becket, founded an hospital for leprous persons, at Romney, in honour of St. Stephen and St. Thomas Becket.
Anno 26 Edward I. the king granted licence to shut up a high road leading from Charing to Ashford.
¶The vulgar tradition, that Charing cross, in Westminster, was so called from a cross, which once stood on the summit of the hill here, which being taken from hence, was carried and set up there, is entirely without foundation; for the cross, which stood where the figure of king Charles on horseback now is at Charing-cross, in the centre of the three highways, as was then usual, was made and erected there in the year 1292, anno 21 Edward I. in that village which long before had been called Cheringes, and Charing, but which afterwards was universally called, from thence, Charing-cross. (fn. 2)
CHARING is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of its own name, and is exempt from the jurisdiction of the archdeacon.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is a handsome building, consisting of one isle and a transept, a high chancel and one small one on the south side of it. The tower, having a small beacon turret at one corner, is at the west end. There is only one bell in it. This tower was begun to be built of stone (for it was before of wood) at the latter end of king Edward IV.'s reign, as appears by the several legacies to the rebuilding of it, in the wills in the Prerogative-office, Canterbury, from 1479 to 1545, about which time only it seems to have been finished. On the stonework at the outside of it, are the arms of Brent, and a coat, being a star of many points, still remaining. In the year 1590 this church was consumed by fire, to the very stones of the building, which happened from a gun discharged at a pidgeon, then upon the roof of it; by which the windows and gravestones of the family of Brent were desaced. John Brent, sen. of Charing, in 1501, was buried in this church, before the door of the new chapel of the blessed Virgin Mary, where no burial had as yet been; and Amy Brent, of Charing, gentlewoman, by will in 1516, was buried within that chapel of her own edification. This chapel, now called Wickins chancel, was much defaced by the fire as above-mentioned. In the south cross was Burleigh chantry, mentioned before, which being burnt down in 1590, was repaired by John Darell, esq. of Calehill, then proprietor of it, whose arms are on the pews of it, as mentioned below. In king Richard II.'s time, the block on which St. John the Baptist was said to have been beheaded, was brought into England, and kept in this church. In the high chancel is a memorial for Samuel Belcher, gent. of Charing, obt. 1756, æt. 6l. and for his two wives. In the little chancel, now called Wickins chancel, are memorials for the Nethersoles and Derings; in the middle isle, for Peirce, Henman, and Ludwell; in the north cross monuments for Sir Robert Honywood, of Pett, and the Sayer family; in the south cross, memorials for Mushey Teale, M.D. in 1760, and for Mary his wife; his arms, Azure, a cockatrice regardant, sable; in chief, three martlets of the second. The pews in it are of oak, and much ornamented at their ends next the space with carvework, among which are these arms, a coat quarterly, first and sourth, A lion rampant, crowned; second, A fess indented, in chief, three mullets; third, Three bugle-horns stringed, impaling a fess, between three cross-croslets, fitchee. Another, Three bugle-horns stringed. Another, A lion rampant, crowned, or. Another, the crest of a Saracen's head, 1598.
The church of Charing was antiently appendant to the manor, and was part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, to which it was appropriated before the 8th year of king Richard II. and it remained with it till archbishop Cranmer, anno 37 Henry VIII. granted that manor, and all his estates within this parish, and the advowsons of this rectory and vicarage, to the king; (fn. 10) and these advowsons remained in the crown till Edward VI. granted them, together with the advowson of the chapel of Egerton, and other premises in Essex, in exchange, in his first year, to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London. In which state they continue at this time, the dean and chapter of St. Paul's being now proprietors of this rectory appropriate, together with the advowson of the vicarage of this church.
¶King Henry VIII. in his 38th year, demised this rectory, and the chapel of Egerton, to Leonard Hetherington, gent. for twenty-one years, and the lease of it continued in his descendants till one of them sold his interest in it, in king James I.'s reign. to John Dering, esq. of Egerton, but by some means, long before his death in 1618, it had passed into the possession of Edward, lord Wotton. How long it continued in his family I have not found; but it afterwards was demised to the family of Barrell, of Rochester, with whom the demise of it remained for many years; and in one of their delcendants it remained down to the Rev. Edmund Marthall, vicar of this parish, who died in 1797, possessed of the lease of it.
This vicarage is valued in the king's books at thirteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 6s. and is now of the clear yearly certified value of seventy-two pounds. In 1588 it was valued at fifty pounds. Communicants three hundred and twenty-six. In 1640, at eighty pounds. Communicants three hundred and seventy; and in 1700 it was valued at one hundred and ten pounds.
In 1535 this church was accounted a sinecure, which accounts for its having been formerly called a prebend.

Here again my Ginkgo tree...
To honour the Ginkgo, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote the following poem:
GINKGO BILOBA
The leaf of this Eastern tree
Which has been entrusted to my garden
Offers a feast of secret significance,
For the edification of the initiate.
Is it one living thing
That has become divided within itself?
Are these two who have chosen each other,
So that we know them as one?
I think I have found the right answer
To these questions;
Do my songs not make you feel
That I am both one and twain?
(J.W. v. Goethe)

History of the parish
1187, Wolkersdorf was for the first time as "Wolfkersdorf" in a deed of donatio by Manhard and Ulrich von Hintperch (= Himberg) mentioned. The parish Wolkersdorf appears in 1328 for the first time as a manorial establishment. The parish has always been limited to the local area. Over the centuries, the residents of the parish brought it through diligence and thrift to a modest prosperity. As to infestations, natural disasters and two plague epidemics are mentioned. The parish, located in the eastern border area of Austria, in times of war through occupation and looting had to suffer much. Mention should be made in this respect of the Turkish threat, the incursion of the Swedes during the 30 Years War, the plundering by the French under Napoleon as well as the Prussian army, which had advanced after the defeat of Austria in Hradec Králové in 1866 to the Rußbach (brook); finally the difficult time of the Soviet occupation after the Second World War should be mentioned. By order of the Lower Austrian Provincial Government of 14th November 1968 Wolkersdorf was conferred upon it the town charter. By the archbishop of Vienna the deanery Pillichsdorf on 1st January 1996 was renamed into the deanery Wolkersdorf. The parish has about 3,000 Catholics.
Parish Church
The parish church was built by Stephan von Slaet 1341-1350 and dedicated to Saint Margaret. This small gothic church (9.40 m long, 5.45 m wide, about 9 m high) is the presbytery for the today's parish church. 1727 Emperor Charles VI. the house of God by the Baroque nave had to its present size expanded (21.8 m long, 9.9 m wide, 12.5 m high). Despite the uniform external facade design, the two phases of construction are still recognizable, the Gothic presbytery and the Baroque ship. In 1754 Empress Maria Theresa the tower had built (37 m high).
Interior equipment: When you enter the church through the main gate under the tower, you are received by a bright, in cheerful colors decorated space. In the vertex of the presbytery wall the mighty Habsburg imperial eagle can be seen. The heart shield of the double eagle is surrounded by the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece and bears the monogram Emperor Charles VI . - CVI. In the claws the eagle holds sword and scepter, while a banner the motto of the Emperor and the year of the expansion of the church shows: "Constantia et Fortitudine" (with steadiness and fortitude) 1727.
The Baroque high altar was built in 1768 in imitation marble. The structure has over the tabernacle yet a Drehtabernakel (revolving tabernacle) for exposure of the Blessed Sacrament. Above it forms a plastic, the apocalyptic Lamb of God representing, flanked by two adoring angels, the conclusion. The retabel structure fits organically into the Gothic choir. Right of the altar is on a high pedestal saint Rochus represented, on the left, in the same way the holy Sebastian. In the middle part is behind the high altar in a picture larger than life the church patron, saint Margaretha represented (the painting is signed "FB 1832" - painter unknown). The saint stands upright and holds in her left hand a cross against the dragon (symbolizing the temptation to apostasy), while Schwurhand (oath hand) and look to our Heavenly Father are elevated, which appears above her. In the right wall of the presbytery there are seating niches with small ribbed vaults in the Gothic style (around 1350) with the coat of arms of the Counts of Nuremberg worked off.
On the side altars are two late Baroque wood-carved figures (1760), saint Joseph and the most blessed Virgin Mary, erected. The pulpit in the Rococo style dates back to 1770. The Stations of the Cross - by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum 1968 of basswood carved - are attached to the side walls of the nave. The organ was built in 1897 by the Viennese organ builder Johann M. Kauffmann as a mechanical cone chests organ with 16 registers.
From the church square the church staircase on a bridge (flying buttress) above the Mittelstraße (central road) leads to the parish church. In 1727, this staircase was decorated with six life-sized Baroque stone sculptures. This is probably an expression of gratitude for the successful baroque church reconstruction under Emperor Charles VI. Initiator of the edification of the saints was the then minister Christoph Leopold Edler von Guarient and Raall. The work was financed by donations from the guilds and by donations from individual citizens.
On the right side of the ascent there are statues
of saint Charles Borromeo, who was regarded as the patron saint against the plague.
of saint John of Nepomuk, who as a "bridge saint" was very revered among the people, and above
of st. Florian, who was popular as a patron of the fire and the forge.
On the left side there are the statues
of st. Joseph, who was called on as a patron for a good hour of death, and as a protector against an unprepared, sudden death,
the Mother of God as immaculately received Virgin who crushes the serpent's head, and above
of saint Leopold, the country's (Lower Austria) patron saint, who is represented as founder of churches and monasteries (church on the right arm).
Vicarage
The vicarage was built around 1727. The building with a Gothic core in 1797 was increased and adapted as parsonage. During the March battles against Napoleon, Emperor Franz I had from 16th May to 6th July 1809 here his headquarters installed. In 1997, the exterior facade was renovated.

By 1970 the parish center was built as a meeting place. Inside is an auditorium and seminar rooms which are used by the parochial groups. The parish center was built from 1971 to 1973 under Pastor Karl Ponweiser as a meeting place. The house is intended for cultural and pastoral events. It is used by all parish groups and for individual events (eg lectures, concerts, theatrical performances, balls) also leased.
Lourdes Chapel
At the point where yet in 1783 a cross was erected "to the glory of God and the consolation of the poor souls", the chapel was built in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes in 1890. 1909 this church was enlarged in the neo-Gothic-Romanesque style, so this first chapel is forming the presbytery for the present chapel.
In the curvature of the chancel 1971 a by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum of basswood carved statue of Mary (1.3 m high) was erected. The statue is carved in the style of "lovely Madonnas" of the Gothic. The Mother of God carries in her right arm the Infant Jesus and in her left hand she holds a bunch of grapes, and she is therefore worshiped as "Wine-Producing Country Madonna", too.

Down the hill from Challock and Kings Wood, sitting on the junction of two ancient high roads, but now split in half by the A20, Charing is delightful.
It is nine years perhaps since I was last here. I took two shots outside, and four inside.
How could I have been so blind?
Charing is a tangle of narrow lanes and timber framed houses, with the church at the end of a narrow lane which ends in what used to be the market place. To the north of the square sits what used to be the Bishop's Palace, still an impressive collection of buildings, although now a private dwelling and a farm.
I found the church open, and was first struck by its fine decoration and impressive size.
------------------------------------------
A large church beautifully positioned next to the remains of the medieval Archbishop's Palace just off the High Street. The west tower was built in the late fifteenth century. During its construction the body of the church was destroyed in an accidental fire - started by a man shooting at pigeons on the roof. The replacement roofs are clearly dated on the tie-beams as 1592 and 1620. A fine early seventeenth-century pulpit and nice collection of eighteenth-century tablets add much to the character of the building. The south nave window is a very strange shape, basically square, with four lights of equal height surmounted by a net of elaborate triangles, quatrefoils and, unusually, an octofoil! It is of fourteenth-century date.

CHARING
IS the adjoining parish to Westwell north-westward. It is written in Domesday, Cheringes, and in other antient records, Cerringes and Cherring.
It lies partly below and partly above the upper range of chalk hills, where there is much woodland. It is a healthy, though not a very pleasant situation, from the nature of the soils in it, all which are but poor; about the town or village, and to the summit of the hill it is chalky; above the hill a red cludgy earth covered with slints, and below the town mostly a sand. At the western boundary, next to Lenham, is Charing heath; it is watered by several small streamlets, which rising near the foot of the hills, direct their course southward into the Stour, which runs towards Ashford just below the boundary of it. The village, or town of Charing, as it is more usually called, stands at the foot of the hill, called from it Charing-hill, over which the high road leads through it from Faversham, through Smarden and Biddenden, and thence to Cranbrooke and Tenterden in the Weald. The high road likewise from Ashford, since the new turnpike has been completed, is made by new cuts to pass through this town and Lenham, instead of its former more southern circuit by Chilson park and Sandway towards Maidstone, shortening its distance considerably. Notwithstanding these roads, there is no great matter of traffic through it, the town is unpaved, and has a clean countryfied look, there is a good house in it, formerly belonging to the Poole's, whose arms were, Azure, a lion rampant, argent, semee, of fleur de lis, or. Afterwards to Dr. Ludwell, who bore for his arms, Gules, on a bend, argent, three eagles, azure, between two castles of the second; and then to the Carter's, one of whom sold it to George Norwood, esq. who resides in it. Not far from it is an antient mansion, which has been modernized formerly, called Peirce-house, now belonging to Mr. James Wakeley, who resides in it; at a small distance from the street eastward is the ruinated palace, the church and the vicarage, a pleasant habitable dwelling.
There are large ruins of the archiepiscopal palace still remaining; the antient great gateway to it is now standing, and much of the sides of the court within it, on the east side of which seems to have been the dining-room, the walls of which remain, and it is converted into a barn. On the opposite side to this are many of the offices, now made into stables. Fronting the great gateway above-mentioned, seems to have been the entrance into the palace itself, part of which, on the east side, is fitted up as a dwelling-house, at the back of which, northward, are the remains of the chapel, the walls of which are standing entire, being built of squared stone, mixed with slints; on the side wall of it are three windows, with pointed arches, and at the east end a much larger one, of the same form. Sir Nicholas Gilborne, hereafter mentioned, as having resided here in king James I.'s reign, was son of William Gilborne, esq. of London, who lies buried in St. Catherine's Creechurch, London, descended from the Gilbornes, of Ereswike, in Yorkshire, and bore for their arms, Azure, on a chevron, or, three roses gules, within a bordure of the second. (fn. 1) Sir Nicholas had two sons and several daughters; one of whom, Anne, married Charles Wheler, esq. of Tottenham, grandfather of Sir George Wheler, D. D. and prebendary of Durham, the purchaser afterwards of this manor and palace, as will be further mentioned.
The two sairs which were granted in the 21st year of king Henry VI. are now held on April 29, and October 29, for horses, cattle, and pedlary.
The parish has in it the boroughs of Town, Sandpit, East Lenham, part of Field, and Acton.
Several of our antiquaries have supposed the Roman station, mentioned in the 2d iter of Antonine by the name of Durolevum, corruptly for Durolenum, to have been in this neighbourhood; and Dr. Plot mentions his discovery of a Roman way, which seemed to have passed the Medway at Teston, and crossing Cocksheath, pointed towards Lenham hither. Most of those who have contended for this station having been hereabouts, have fixed it at Lenham. Only two of them, Mr. Talbot and Dr. Stukeley, after much hesitation, where to place it, were for its having been here at Charing; the latter founded his opinion on the Roman antiquities, which he says, have been found all about here, which Horsley accounts for, from a supposition of this having been only a notilia way, and indeed there is but little, if any, foundation for any supposition that the station above-mentioned was here at Charing; that it was a notitia way, there is great reason to suppose, as has been already mentioned before, in the description of Lenham, to which may be added, that there is in this parish, about a mile S. S. W. from the town a hamlet called Stone-street, a name, which is a certain indication of its note in former times.
Mr. Jacob, in his Plantœ Favershamienses, has taken notice of several scarce plants in this parish, to which account the reader is referred from them.
There was a family who took their name from this parish, one of whom, Adam de Cherringes, was excommunicated by archbishop Becket, and, as it should seem, to blot out the heinousness of this offence, afterwards, in the time of archbishop Baldwin, the next successor but one to Becket, founded an hospital for leprous persons, at Romney, in honour of St. Stephen and St. Thomas Becket.
Anno 26 Edward I. the king granted licence to shut up a high road leading from Charing to Ashford.
¶The vulgar tradition, that Charing cross, in Westminster, was so called from a cross, which once stood on the summit of the hill here, which being taken from hence, was carried and set up there, is entirely without foundation; for the cross, which stood where the figure of king Charles on horseback now is at Charing-cross, in the centre of the three highways, as was then usual, was made and erected there in the year 1292, anno 21 Edward I. in that village which long before had been called Cheringes, and Charing, but which afterwards was universally called, from thence, Charing-cross. (fn. 2)
CHARING is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of its own name, and is exempt from the jurisdiction of the archdeacon.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is a handsome building, consisting of one isle and a transept, a high chancel and one small one on the south side of it. The tower, having a small beacon turret at one corner, is at the west end. There is only one bell in it. This tower was begun to be built of stone (for it was before of wood) at the latter end of king Edward IV.'s reign, as appears by the several legacies to the rebuilding of it, in the wills in the Prerogative-office, Canterbury, from 1479 to 1545, about which time only it seems to have been finished. On the stonework at the outside of it, are the arms of Brent, and a coat, being a star of many points, still remaining. In the year 1590 this church was consumed by fire, to the very stones of the building, which happened from a gun discharged at a pidgeon, then upon the roof of it; by which the windows and gravestones of the family of Brent were desaced. John Brent, sen. of Charing, in 1501, was buried in this church, before the door of the new chapel of the blessed Virgin Mary, where no burial had as yet been; and Amy Brent, of Charing, gentlewoman, by will in 1516, was buried within that chapel of her own edification. This chapel, now called Wickins chancel, was much defaced by the fire as above-mentioned. In the south cross was Burleigh chantry, mentioned before, which being burnt down in 1590, was repaired by John Darell, esq. of Calehill, then proprietor of it, whose arms are on the pews of it, as mentioned below. In king Richard II.'s time, the block on which St. John the Baptist was said to have been beheaded, was brought into England, and kept in this church. In the high chancel is a memorial for Samuel Belcher, gent. of Charing, obt. 1756, æt. 6l. and for his two wives. In the little chancel, now called Wickins chancel, are memorials for the Nethersoles and Derings; in the middle isle, for Peirce, Henman, and Ludwell; in the north cross monuments for Sir Robert Honywood, of Pett, and the Sayer family; in the south cross, memorials for Mushey Teale, M.D. in 1760, and for Mary his wife; his arms, Azure, a cockatrice regardant, sable; in chief, three martlets of the second. The pews in it are of oak, and much ornamented at their ends next the space with carvework, among which are these arms, a coat quarterly, first and sourth, A lion rampant, crowned; second, A fess indented, in chief, three mullets; third, Three bugle-horns stringed, impaling a fess, between three cross-croslets, fitchee. Another, Three bugle-horns stringed. Another, A lion rampant, crowned, or. Another, the crest of a Saracen's head, 1598.
The church of Charing was antiently appendant to the manor, and was part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, to which it was appropriated before the 8th year of king Richard II. and it remained with it till archbishop Cranmer, anno 37 Henry VIII. granted that manor, and all his estates within this parish, and the advowsons of this rectory and vicarage, to the king; (fn. 10) and these advowsons remained in the crown till Edward VI. granted them, together with the advowson of the chapel of Egerton, and other premises in Essex, in exchange, in his first year, to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London. In which state they continue at this time, the dean and chapter of St. Paul's being now proprietors of this rectory appropriate, together with the advowson of the vicarage of this church.
¶King Henry VIII. in his 38th year, demised this rectory, and the chapel of Egerton, to Leonard Hetherington, gent. for twenty-one years, and the lease of it continued in his descendants till one of them sold his interest in it, in king James I.'s reign. to John Dering, esq. of Egerton, but by some means, long before his death in 1618, it had passed into the possession of Edward, lord Wotton. How long it continued in his family I have not found; but it afterwards was demised to the family of Barrell, of Rochester, with whom the demise of it remained for many years; and in one of their delcendants it remained down to the Rev. Edmund Marthall, vicar of this parish, who died in 1797, possessed of the lease of it.
This vicarage is valued in the king's books at thirteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 6s. and is now of the clear yearly certified value of seventy-two pounds. In 1588 it was valued at fifty pounds. Communicants three hundred and twenty-six. In 1640, at eighty pounds. Communicants three hundred and seventy; and in 1700 it was valued at one hundred and ten pounds.
In 1535 this church was accounted a sinecure, which accounts for its having been formerly called a prebend.
Anonymous, after an engraving after Claude-Joseph Vernet's (1714-1789) landscape Cascades of Tivoli and the Villa of Maecenas
watercolor, pencil and ink on wove paper
12.6 x 16.5 cm drawing
13.6 x 19 cm sheet
At top: "J. VERNET" in Roman letters and "École Française" in cursive script
At bottom: "La cascade" in cursive script and below that "B." All annotations are in pencil.
On reverse is erased text that may be the drawing's dimensions.
See the other watercolor, after "Landscape with Broken Rocks / Paisaje Quebrado / Vues des Environs de Rome: Le Torrent" Same format and on same paper but of somewhat different technique.
Provenance: Noordermarkt flea market, Amsterdam, about 2011.
The artist is anonymous. These are not in Vernet's style and are smaller than the watercolors he did as studies and preparatory sketches. Also, wove paper didn't exist until the 1759, well after Vernet did this landscape. It wasn't widely available until the 1780s, Vernet's final years. The same artist may have also done the other watercolor (next one over), after "Landscape With Broken Rocks" / "Paisaje Quebrado" / "Le Torrent")." It's in a different drawing style but is the same size, on same type of paper, and has a letter at the bottom ("B" under "Cascatelles").
This a copy after Plate #58, "La Cascade," in Galerie du Musée Napoléon Vol.3 (of 11), published 1804-1813 by Antoine Michel Filhol. The plate is an etching and engraving by Jean Desaulx and Jean Baptiste Lienard after a drawing by Albert Gregorius. On the engraving, which is the same size as the watercolor, "J. VERNET" and "École Française" appear above the image and "La Cascade" appears below it.
The work on which the engraving is based is "Cascades of Tivoli and the Villa of Maecenas." It is in the Mauritshuis in The Hague but from about 1795 to 1815, it stood in the Louvre, which was then known as the Musée Napoléon.
During the Revolution and under the Directorate, the Louvre became one of Europe's first public museums, displaying the treasures of France's vanquished foes were publicly displayed for the glory of the country and the cultural edification of the people. Emperor Napoleon expanded both policies, systematically looting the best art of Europe, apointing special military squads to collect and convey the works to Paris in Roman-style triumphs. High on the list were the treasurs of antiquity and the Renaissance, as well as German and Flemish artists. Evidently, important French works were also sought, in order to recover them from private collections scattered throughout Europe. The palace of the Louvre, mostly neglected since the building of Versailles, became the new home of all this plunder, carried into Paris in Roman-style triumphs.
Napoleon's first advisor, Jean-Baptiste Wicar, oversaw the looting of the Netherlands and Italy, including also the Papal States. Thus in 1795, during the invasion of the Netherlands, France carried off the collection of Willem V, some 10,000 works, among them The Cascatelles of Tivoli. Ingersoll-Smouse places it in the Louvre until 1815.
Source: "Joseph Vernet Peintre De Marine 1714 - 1789 - Etude Critique Suivie D'Un Catalogue Raisonné De Son Oeuvre Peint Avec Trois Cent Cinquante-Sept Reproductions" by Florence Ingersoll-Smouse (1926) (shout-out to The Rijksmuseum Library!). This work appears in the catalogue as #199 (Fig 41).
[Extra notes]
Of at least two versions of the work, this drawing most closely resembles the one hanging in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, Netherlands.
Another version, from 1760, is in the Dayton Art Institute, Dayton Ohio, USA.
A copy after the work in The Hague, by an unknown follower, possibly in the 1820s, was sold at auction by Christie's on 25 November 2003, and a smaller version before that on 4 July 1997

Artfact lists a version from 1754 that looks like the one in the Mauritshuis, and gives a detailed description of the commission, but cites a Christies auction from 2004 that doesn't turn up in the Christie's archive.
***
Before I found out that the watercolor is based on the Napoleon Museum catalog engraving and not on the original painting, I spent a lot of time trying to work out how the watercolorist could have had access to both paintings, preferably without having to travel between Madrid and The Hague. Given the sheer volume of art looted by France post-Revolution and and under Napoleon, I figured the two paintings could have both been in the Louvre until 1815, Cascatelles in French hands since 1795 and Paisaje since about 1811. That would have given my anonymous artist a 4-year window to paint both watercolors, in Paris.
I could never back up my theory, which the existence of the Napoleon catalog renders unnecessary anyway, but I may have been right about the paintings. If Spain only got Paisaje in 1815, as compensation for the other paintings lost to plunder--and Paisaje does have a Louvre inventory number--then it and Cascatelles were both in Paris for Gregorius to have sketched them for engraving, sometime between 1803 and 1815. The possibility that these watercolors are Gregorius's sketches for the engravings is unlikely, since no other such sketches have turned up, at least online, and he is better known for portraits of notables.

History of the parish
1187, Wolkersdorf was for the first time as "Wolfkersdorf" in a deed of donatio by Manhard and Ulrich von Hintperch (= Himberg) mentioned. The parish Wolkersdorf appears in 1328 for the first time as a manorial establishment. The parish has always been limited to the local area. Over the centuries, the residents of the parish brought it through diligence and thrift to a modest prosperity. As to infestations, natural disasters and two plague epidemics are mentioned. The parish, located in the eastern border area of Austria, in times of war through occupation and looting had to suffer much. Mention should be made in this respect of the Turkish threat, the incursion of the Swedes during the 30 Years War, the plundering by the French under Napoleon as well as the Prussian army, which had advanced after the defeat of Austria in Hradec Králové in 1866 to the Rußbach (brook); finally the difficult time of the Soviet occupation after the Second World War should be mentioned. By order of the Lower Austrian Provincial Government of 14th November 1968 Wolkersdorf was conferred upon it the town charter. By the archbishop of Vienna the deanery Pillichsdorf on 1st January 1996 was renamed into the deanery Wolkersdorf. The parish has about 3,000 Catholics.
Parish Church
The parish church was built by Stephan von Slaet 1341-1350 and dedicated to Saint Margaret. This small gothic church (9.40 m long, 5.45 m wide, about 9 m high) is the presbytery for the today's parish church. 1727 Emperor Charles VI. the house of God by the Baroque nave had to its present size expanded (21.8 m long, 9.9 m wide, 12.5 m high). Despite the uniform external facade design, the two phases of construction are still recognizable, the Gothic presbytery and the Baroque ship. In 1754 Empress Maria Theresa the tower had built (37 m high).
Interior equipment: When you enter the church through the main gate under the tower, you are received by a bright, in cheerful colors decorated space. In the vertex of the presbytery wall the mighty Habsburg imperial eagle can be seen. The heart shield of the double eagle is surrounded by the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece and bears the monogram Emperor Charles VI . - CVI. In the claws the eagle holds sword and scepter, while a banner the motto of the Emperor and the year of the expansion of the church shows: "Constantia et Fortitudine" (with steadiness and fortitude) 1727.
The Baroque high altar was built in 1768 in imitation marble. The structure has over the tabernacle yet a Drehtabernakel (revolving tabernacle) for exposure of the Blessed Sacrament. Above it forms a plastic, the apocalyptic Lamb of God representing, flanked by two adoring angels, the conclusion. The retabel structure fits organically into the Gothic choir. Right of the altar is on a high pedestal saint Rochus represented, on the left, in the same way the holy Sebastian. In the middle part is behind the high altar in a picture larger than life the church patron, saint Margaretha represented (the painting is signed "FB 1832" - painter unknown). The saint stands upright and holds in her left hand a cross against the dragon (symbolizing the temptation to apostasy), while Schwurhand (oath hand) and look to our Heavenly Father are elevated, which appears above her. In the right wall of the presbytery there are seating niches with small ribbed vaults in the Gothic style (around 1350) with the coat of arms of the Counts of Nuremberg worked off.
On the side altars are two late Baroque wood-carved figures (1760), saint Joseph and the most blessed Virgin Mary, erected. The pulpit in the Rococo style dates back to 1770. The Stations of the Cross - by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum 1968 of basswood carved - are attached to the side walls of the nave. The organ was built in 1897 by the Viennese organ builder Johann M. Kauffmann as a mechanical cone chests organ with 16 registers.
From the church square the church staircase on a bridge (flying buttress) above the Mittelstraße (central road) leads to the parish church. In 1727, this staircase was decorated with six life-sized Baroque stone sculptures. This is probably an expression of gratitude for the successful baroque church reconstruction under Emperor Charles VI. Initiator of the edification of the saints was the then minister Christoph Leopold Edler von Guarient and Raall. The work was financed by donations from the guilds and by donations from individual citizens.
On the right side of the ascent there are statues
of saint Charles Borromeo, who was regarded as the patron saint against the plague.
of saint John of Nepomuk, who as a "bridge saint" was very revered among the people, and above
of st. Florian, who was popular as a patron of the fire and the forge.
On the left side there are the statues
of st. Joseph, who was called on as a patron for a good hour of death, and as a protector against an unprepared, sudden death,
the Mother of God as immaculately received Virgin who crushes the serpent's head, and above
of saint Leopold, the country's (Lower Austria) patron saint, who is represented as founder of churches and monasteries (church on the right arm).
Vicarage
The vicarage was built around 1727. The building with a Gothic core in 1797 was increased and adapted as parsonage. During the March battles against Napoleon, Emperor Franz I had from 16th May to 6th July 1809 here his headquarters installed. In 1997, the exterior facade was renovated.
Parish centre
By 1970 the parish center was built as a meeting place. Inside is an auditorium and seminar rooms which are used by the parochial groups. The parish center was built from 1971 to 1973 under Pastor Karl Ponweiser as a meeting place. The house is intended for cultural and pastoral events. It is used by all parish groups and for individual events (eg lectures, concerts, theatrical performances, balls) also leased.
Lourdes Chapel
At the point where yet in 1783 a cross was erected "to the glory of God and the consolation of the poor souls", the chapel was built in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes in 1890. 1909 this church was enlarged in the neo-Gothic-Romanesque style, so this first chapel is forming the presbytery for the present chapel.
In the curvature of the chancel 1971 a by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum of basswood carved statue of Mary (1.3 m high) was erected. The statue is carved in the style of "lovely Madonnas" of the Gothic. The Mother of God carries in her right arm the Infant Jesus and in her left hand she holds a bunch of grapes, and she is therefore worshiped as "Wine-Producing Country Madonna", too.

Mr. Jacob, in his Plantœ Favershamienses, has taken notice of several scarce plants in this parish, to which account the reader is referred from them.
There was a family who took their name from this parish, one of whom, Adam de Cherringes, was excommunicated by archbishop Becket, and, as it should seem, to blot out the heinousness of this offence, afterwards, in the time of archbishop Baldwin, the next successor but one to Becket, founded an hospital for leprous persons, at Romney, in honour of St. Stephen and St. Thomas Becket.
Anno 26 Edward I. the king granted licence to shut up a high road leading from Charing to Ashford.
¶The vulgar tradition, that Charing cross, in Westminster, was so called from a cross, which once stood on the summit of the hill here, which being taken from hence, was carried and set up there, is entirely without foundation; for the cross, which stood where the figure of king Charles on horseback now is at Charing-cross, in the centre of the three highways, as was then usual, was made and erected there in the year 1292, anno 21 Edward I. in that village which long before had been called Cheringes, and Charing, but which afterwards was universally called, from thence, Charing-cross. (fn. 2)
CHARING is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of its own name, and is exempt from the jurisdiction of the archdeacon.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is a handsome building, consisting of one isle and a transept, a high chancel and one small one on the south side of it. The tower, having a small beacon turret at one corner, is at the west end. There is only one bell in it. This tower was begun to be built of stone (for it was before of wood) at the latter end of king Edward IV.'s reign, as appears by the several legacies to the rebuilding of it, in the wills in the Prerogative-office, Canterbury, from 1479 to 1545, about which time only it seems to have been finished. On the stonework at the outside of it, are the arms of Brent, and a coat, being a star of many points, still remaining. In the year 1590 this church was consumed by fire, to the very stones of the building, which happened from a gun discharged at a pidgeon, then upon the roof of it; by which the windows and gravestones of the family of Brent were desaced. John Brent, sen. of Charing, in 1501, was buried in this church, before the door of the new chapel of the blessed Virgin Mary, where no burial had as yet been; and Amy Brent, of Charing, gentlewoman, by will in 1516, was buried within that chapel of her own edification. This chapel, now called Wickins chancel, was much defaced by the fire as above-mentioned. In the south cross was Burleigh chantry, mentioned before, which being burnt down in 1590, was repaired by John Darell, esq. of Calehill, then proprietor of it, whose arms are on the pews of it, as mentioned below. In king Richard II.'s time, the block on which St. John the Baptist was said to have been beheaded, was brought into England, and kept in this church. In the high chancel is a memorial for Samuel Belcher, gent. of Charing, obt. 1756, æt. 6l. and for his two wives. In the little chancel, now called Wickins chancel, are memorials for the Nethersoles and Derings; in the middle isle, for Peirce, Henman, and Ludwell; in the north cross monuments for Sir Robert Honywood, of Pett, and the Sayer family; in the south cross, memorials for Mushey Teale, M.D. in 1760, and for Mary his wife; his arms, Azure, a cockatrice regardant, sable; in chief, three martlets of the second. The pews in it are of oak, and much ornamented at their ends next the space with carvework, among which are these arms, a coat quarterly, first and sourth, A lion rampant, crowned; second, A fess indented, in chief, three mullets; third, Three bugle-horns stringed, impaling a fess, between three cross-croslets, fitchee. Another, Three bugle-horns stringed. Another, A lion rampant, crowned, or. Another, the crest of a Saracen's head, 1598.
The church of Charing was antiently appendant to the manor, and was part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, to which it was appropriated before the 8th year of king Richard II. and it remained with it till archbishop Cranmer, anno 37 Henry VIII. granted that manor, and all his estates within this parish, and the advowsons of this rectory and vicarage, to the king; (fn. 10) and these advowsons remained in the crown till Edward VI. granted them, together with the advowson of the chapel of Egerton, and other premises in Essex, in exchange, in his first year, to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London. In which state they continue at this time, the dean and chapter of St. Paul's being now proprietors of this rectory appropriate, together with the advowson of the vicarage of this church.
¶King Henry VIII. in his 38th year, demised this rectory, and the chapel of Egerton, to Leonard Hetherington, gent. for twenty-one years, and the lease of it continued in his descendants till one of them sold his interest in it, in king James I.'s reign. to John Dering, esq. of Egerton, but by some means, long before his death in 1618, it had passed into the possession of Edward, lord Wotton. How long it continued in his family I have not found; but it afterwards was demised to the family of Barrell, of Rochester, with whom the demise of it remained for many years; and in one of their delcendants it remained down to the Rev. Edmund Marthall, vicar of this parish, who died in 1797, possessed of the lease of it.
This vicarage is valued in the king's books at thirteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 6s. and is now of the clear yearly certified value of seventy-two pounds. In 1588 it was valued at fifty pounds. Communicants three hundred and twenty-six. In 1640, at eighty pounds. Communicants three hundred and seventy; and in 1700 it was valued at one hundred and ten pounds.
In 1535 this church was accounted a sinecure, which accounts for its having been formerly called a prebend.

Esta es la historia de dos familias enfrentadas que dejó sus huellas en Retiro. Los Anchorena, que vivían en el actual Palacio San Martín con 150 sirvientes. Y los Kavanagh, adinerados, aunque no patricios. Hacia 1920 los Anchorena construyen la iglesia del Santísimo Sacramento como futuro sepulcro familiar. Cuenta la leyenda que uno de los Anchorena se enamoró perdidamente de una Kavanagh, aunque el romance no fue aprobado por su familia. Corina Kavanagh decidió una venganza arquitectónica: en Florida y San Martín, ordenó la construcción de un edificio cuyo único requisito era que impidiera la vista desde el palacio Anchorena a la iglesia, objetivo que aún cumple el edificio Kavanagh. "Incluso, si alguien quiere mirar de frente la actual basílica del Santísimo Sacramento, debe pararse en el pasaje "Corina Kavanagh", relata Eduardo Lazzari, presidente de la Junta de Estudios Históricos del Buen Ayre.

History of the parish
1187, Wolkersdorf was for the first time as "Wolfkersdorf" in a deed of donatio by Manhard and Ulrich von Hintperch (= Himberg) mentioned. The parish Wolkersdorf appears in 1328 for the first time as a manorial establishment. The parish has always been limited to the local area. Over the centuries, the residents of the parish brought it through diligence and thrift to a modest prosperity. As to infestations, natural disasters and two plague epidemics are mentioned. The parish, located in the eastern border area of Austria, in times of war through occupation and looting had to suffer much. Mention should be made in this respect of the Turkish threat, the incursion of the Swedes during the 30 Years War, the plundering by the French under Napoleon as well as the Prussian army, which had advanced after the defeat of Austria in Hradec Králové in 1866 to the Rußbach (brook); finally the difficult time of the Soviet occupation after the Second World War should be mentioned. By order of the Lower Austrian Provincial Government of 14th November 1968 Wolkersdorf was conferred upon it the town charter. By the archbishop of Vienna the deanery Pillichsdorf on 1st January 1996 was renamed into the deanery Wolkersdorf. The parish has about 3,000 Catholics.
Parish Church
The parish church was built by Stephan von Slaet 1341-1350 and dedicated to Saint Margaret. This small gothic church (9.40 m long, 5.45 m wide, about 9 m high) is the presbytery for the today's parish church. 1727 Emperor Charles VI. the house of God by the Baroque nave had to its present size expanded (21.8 m long, 9.9 m wide, 12.5 m high). Despite the uniform external facade design, the two phases of construction are still recognizable, the Gothic presbytery and the Baroque ship. In 1754 Empress Maria Theresa the tower had built (37 m high).
Interior equipment: When you enter the church through the main gate under the tower, you are received by a bright, in cheerful colors decorated space. In the vertex of the presbytery wall the mighty Habsburg imperial eagle can be seen. The heart shield of the double eagle is surrounded by the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece and bears the monogram Emperor Charles VI . - CVI. In the claws the eagle holds sword and scepter, while a banner the motto of the Emperor and the year of the expansion of the church shows: "Constantia et Fortitudine" (with steadiness and fortitude) 1727.
The Baroque high altar was built in 1768 in imitation marble. The structure has over the tabernacle yet a Drehtabernakel (revolving tabernacle) for exposure of the Blessed Sacrament. Above it forms a plastic, the apocalyptic Lamb of God representing, flanked by two adoring angels, the conclusion. The retabel structure fits organically into the Gothic choir. Right of the altar is on a high pedestal saint Rochus represented, on the left, in the same way the holy Sebastian. In the middle part is behind the high altar in a picture larger than life the church patron, saint Margaretha represented (the painting is signed "FB 1832" - painter unknown). The saint stands upright and holds in her left hand a cross against the dragon (symbolizing the temptation to apostasy), while Schwurhand (oath hand) and look to our Heavenly Father are elevated, which appears above her. In the right wall of the presbytery there are seating niches with small ribbed vaults in the Gothic style (around 1350) with the coat of arms of the Counts of Nuremberg worked off.
On the side altars are two late Baroque wood-carved figures (1760), saint Joseph and the most blessed Virgin Mary, erected. The pulpit in the Rococo style dates back to 1770. The Stations of the Cross - by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum 1968 of basswood carved - are attached to the side walls of the nave. The organ was built in 1897 by the Viennese organ builder Johann M. Kauffmann as a mechanical cone chests organ with 16 registers.
From the church square the church staircase on a bridge (flying buttress) above the Mittelstraße (central road) leads to the parish church. In 1727, this staircase was decorated with six life-sized Baroque stone sculptures. This is probably an expression of gratitude for the successful baroque church reconstruction under Emperor Charles VI. Initiator of the edification of the saints was the then minister Christoph Leopold Edler von Guarient and Raall. The work was financed by donations from the guilds and by donations from individual citizens.
On the right side of the ascent there are statues
of saint Charles Borromeo, who was regarded as the patron saint against the plague.
of saint John of Nepomuk, who as a "bridge saint" was very revered among the people, and above
of st. Florian, who was popular as a patron of the fire and the forge.
On the left side there are the statues
of st. Joseph, who was called on as a patron for a good hour of death, and as a protector against an unprepared, sudden death,
the Mother of God as immaculately received Virgin who crushes the serpent's head, and above
of saint Leopold, the country's (Lower Austria) patron saint, who is represented as founder of churches and monasteries (church on the right arm).
Vicarage
The vicarage was built around 1727. The building with a Gothic core in 1797 was increased and adapted as parsonage. During the March battles against Napoleon, Emperor Franz I had from 16th May to 6th July 1809 here his headquarters installed. In 1997, the exterior facade was renovated.
Parish centre
By 1970 the parish center was built as a meeting place. Inside is an auditorium and seminar rooms which are used by the parochial groups. The parish center was built from 1971 to 1973 under Pastor Karl Ponweiser as a meeting place. The house is intended for cultural and pastoral events. It is used by all parish groups and for individual events (eg lectures, concerts, theatrical performances, balls) also leased.
Lourdes Chapel
At the point where yet in 1783 a cross was erected "to the glory of God and the consolation of the poor souls", the chapel was built in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes in 1890. 1909 this church was enlarged in the neo-Gothic-Romanesque style, so this first chapel is forming the presbytery for the present chapel.
In the curvature of the chancel 1971 a by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum of basswood carved statue of Mary (1.3 m high) was erected. The statue is carved in the style of "lovely Madonnas" of the Gothic. The Mother of God carries in her right arm the Infant Jesus and in her left hand she holds a bunch of grapes, and she is therefore worshiped as "Wine-Producing Country Madonna", too.

I passed a sign pointing to Woodbastwick every day for five years once posted to Coltishall, and so commuting between there and Oulton Broad via the back roads and Reedham Ferry.
These days I know Woodbastwick as the home of Woodforde's Brewery, makers of fine ales even available in places as far flung as Kent.
I was in the village mainly to buy some fine bottled ales, but then I knew the church was here is usually open, so what could go wrong?
It being locked, or me being unable to open the door, which amounts to the same thing. I am pretty sure it was locked, despite the sign outside claiming otherwise.
So, over to Simon:
----------------------------------------
Woodbastwick sits on the edge of one of the loveliest parts of Norfolk - but we had come to it in late winter through the grim flat fields and workaday villages to the east of Norwich, so it was doubly a surprise to arrive suddenly at the pretty village green with its thatched well house, and Sir George Gilbert Scott's tower of St Fabian and St Sebastian beyond. All around are pleasing 19th century estate cottages, some with biblical texts on their frontages. And, this being the Broads, the church was open, as they all seem to be around here - a welcome change from Postwick, Little Plumstead and Great Plumstead.
St Fabian and Sebastian is one of Norfolk's three nationally unique dedications (the others are at Bixley and Little Plumstead) and seems to be a 19th century Anglo-catholic affectation, the two Saints have nothing in common other than a shared feast day, Fabian being an early Pope, and Sebastian the martyr whose life was rather colourfully portrayed by the late Derek Jarman.
Woodbastwick was the home of the Cator family, the Anglo-catholic enthusiasts suggested above, and in the 1870s they paid for a massive rebuilding here. There had been a stump of a tower, and the nave had rather attractive stepped gables, which have been retained, as has much of the window tracery. The budget was a massive £5,000, about a million in today's money; by contrast, the 1890s rebuilding of nearby Great Plumstead cost a mere £1,500, and that was after the rampant inflation of the 1880s.
Scott's tower is pretty rather than massive, and the thatched roofs are very attractive in a sort of Olde Englande way.
Inside, even on this dark day, we could see the glimmer and sparkle of the best that the Anglo-catholic movement had to offer. Rather annoyingly, a security light at the back of the church came on every time one of us moved, going off again five seconds later to plunge the nave back into gloom. It is possible to switch it off during your visit, but I had probably better not suggest this as there is a notice telling you that you shouldn't.
Pretty much everything is renewed. The font went to Salhouse (although the lovely churchwarden at Salhouse said I shouldn't mention this, in case they want it back) and virtually all the woodwork was replaced, although the lower part of the screen is the medieval one, and we found a couple of old benches stacked up in the vestry.
Considering the budget, the glass is not great, considering that that in the chancel is by Clayton and Bell, and that in the nave by Lavers, Barraud and Westlake. It may just be that these attempts to replicate small scale 14th century glass are not as fashionable nowadays as thorough-going Victorian style work like the lovely set in the vestry of St Cecilia, the Virgin Mother of God, and St Catherine, probably also by Clayton and Bell. The reredos is better than any of the glass, I think. Best of all in any case is the superb art nouveau war memorial in the nave, one of the best I've seen in Norfolk.
There are some very good 20th century memorials to the Cator family on the north wall of the nave, and generally this is a well-kept, cherished building that is usually open and welcoming. I liked it a lot.

Down the hill from Challock and Kings Wood, sitting on the junction of two ancient high roads, but now split in half by the A20, Charing is delightful.
It is nine years perhaps since I was last here. I took two shots outside, and four inside.
How could I have been so blind?
Charing is a tangle of narrow lanes and timber framed houses, with the church at the end of a narrow lane which ends in what used to be the market place. To the north of the square sits what used to be the Bishop's Palace, still an impressive collection of buildings, although now a private dwelling and a farm.
I found the church open, and was first struck by its fine decoration and impressive size.
------------------------------------------
A large church beautifully positioned next to the remains of the medieval Archbishop's Palace just off the High Street. The west tower was built in the late fifteenth century. During its construction the body of the church was destroyed in an accidental fire - started by a man shooting at pigeons on the roof. The replacement roofs are clearly dated on the tie-beams as 1592 and 1620. A fine early seventeenth-century pulpit and nice collection of eighteenth-century tablets add much to the character of the building. The south nave window is a very strange shape, basically square, with four lights of equal height surmounted by a net of elaborate triangles, quatrefoils and, unusually, an octofoil! It is of fourteenth-century date.

CHARING
IS the adjoining parish to Westwell north-westward. It is written in Domesday, Cheringes, and in other antient records, Cerringes and Cherring.
It lies partly below and partly above the upper range of chalk hills, where there is much woodland. It is a healthy, though not a very pleasant situation, from the nature of the soils in it, all which are but poor; about the town or village, and to the summit of the hill it is chalky; above the hill a red cludgy earth covered with slints, and below the town mostly a sand. At the western boundary, next to Lenham, is Charing heath; it is watered by several small streamlets, which rising near the foot of the hills, direct their course southward into the Stour, which runs towards Ashford just below the boundary of it. The village, or town of Charing, as it is more usually called, stands at the foot of the hill, called from it Charing-hill, over which the high road leads through it from Faversham, through Smarden and Biddenden, and thence to Cranbrooke and Tenterden in the Weald. The high road likewise from Ashford, since the new turnpike has been completed, is made by new cuts to pass through this town and Lenham, instead of its former more southern circuit by Chilson park and Sandway towards Maidstone, shortening its distance considerably. Notwithstanding these roads, there is no great matter of traffic through it, the town is unpaved, and has a clean countryfied look, there is a good house in it, formerly belonging to the Poole's, whose arms were, Azure, a lion rampant, argent, semee, of fleur de lis, or. Afterwards to Dr. Ludwell, who bore for his arms, Gules, on a bend, argent, three eagles, azure, between two castles of the second; and then to the Carter's, one of whom sold it to George Norwood, esq. who resides in it. Not far from it is an antient mansion, which has been modernized formerly, called Peirce-house, now belonging to Mr. James Wakeley, who resides in it; at a small distance from the street eastward is the ruinated palace, the church and the vicarage, a pleasant habitable dwelling.
There are large ruins of the archiepiscopal palace still remaining; the antient great gateway to it is now standing, and much of the sides of the court within it, on the east side of which seems to have been the dining-room, the walls of which remain, and it is converted into a barn. On the opposite side to this are many of the offices, now made into stables. Fronting the great gateway above-mentioned, seems to have been the entrance into the palace itself, part of which, on the east side, is fitted up as a dwelling-house, at the back of which, northward, are the remains of the chapel, the walls of which are standing entire, being built of squared stone, mixed with slints; on the side wall of it are three windows, with pointed arches, and at the east end a much larger one, of the same form. Sir Nicholas Gilborne, hereafter mentioned, as having resided here in king James I.'s reign, was son of William Gilborne, esq. of London, who lies buried in St. Catherine's Creechurch, London, descended from the Gilbornes, of Ereswike, in Yorkshire, and bore for their arms, Azure, on a chevron, or, three roses gules, within a bordure of the second. (fn. 1) Sir Nicholas had two sons and several daughters; one of whom, Anne, married Charles Wheler, esq. of Tottenham, grandfather of Sir George Wheler, D. D. and prebendary of Durham, the purchaser afterwards of this manor and palace, as will be further mentioned.
The two sairs which were granted in the 21st year of king Henry VI. are now held on April 29, and October 29, for horses, cattle, and pedlary.
The parish has in it the boroughs of Town, Sandpit, East Lenham, part of Field, and Acton.
Several of our antiquaries have supposed the Roman station, mentioned in the 2d iter of Antonine by the name of Durolevum, corruptly for Durolenum, to have been in this neighbourhood; and Dr. Plot mentions his discovery of a Roman way, which seemed to have passed the Medway at Teston, and crossing Cocksheath, pointed towards Lenham hither. Most of those who have contended for this station having been hereabouts, have fixed it at Lenham. Only two of them, Mr. Talbot and Dr. Stukeley, after much hesitation, where to place it, were for its having been here at Charing; the latter founded his opinion on the Roman antiquities, which he says, have been found all about here, which Horsley accounts for, from a supposition of this having been only a notilia way, and indeed there is but little, if any, foundation for any supposition that the station above-mentioned was here at Charing; that it was a notitia way, there is great reason to suppose, as has been already mentioned before, in the description of Lenham, to which may be added, that there is in this parish, about a mile S. S. W. from the town a hamlet called Stone-street, a name, which is a certain indication of its note in former times.
Mr. Jacob, in his Plantœ Favershamienses, has taken notice of several scarce plants in this parish, to which account the reader is referred from them.
There was a family who took their name from this parish, one of whom, Adam de Cherringes, was excommunicated by archbishop Becket, and, as it should seem, to blot out the heinousness of this offence, afterwards, in the time of archbishop Baldwin, the next successor but one to Becket, founded an hospital for leprous persons, at Romney, in honour of St. Stephen and St. Thomas Becket.
Anno 26 Edward I. the king granted licence to shut up a high road leading from Charing to Ashford.
¶The vulgar tradition, that Charing cross, in Westminster, was so called from a cross, which once stood on the summit of the hill here, which being taken from hence, was carried and set up there, is entirely without foundation; for the cross, which stood where the figure of king Charles on horseback now is at Charing-cross, in the centre of the three highways, as was then usual, was made and erected there in the year 1292, anno 21 Edward I. in that village which long before had been called Cheringes, and Charing, but which afterwards was universally called, from thence, Charing-cross. (fn. 2)
CHARING is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of its own name, and is exempt from the jurisdiction of the archdeacon.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is a handsome building, consisting of one isle and a transept, a high chancel and one small one on the south side of it. The tower, having a small beacon turret at one corner, is at the west end. There is only one bell in it. This tower was begun to be built of stone (for it was before of wood) at the latter end of king Edward IV.'s reign, as appears by the several legacies to the rebuilding of it, in the wills in the Prerogative-office, Canterbury, from 1479 to 1545, about which time only it seems to have been finished. On the stonework at the outside of it, are the arms of Brent, and a coat, being a star of many points, still remaining. In the year 1590 this church was consumed by fire, to the very stones of the building, which happened from a gun discharged at a pidgeon, then upon the roof of it; by which the windows and gravestones of the family of Brent were desaced. John Brent, sen. of Charing, in 1501, was buried in this church, before the door of the new chapel of the blessed Virgin Mary, where no burial had as yet been; and Amy Brent, of Charing, gentlewoman, by will in 1516, was buried within that chapel of her own edification. This chapel, now called Wickins chancel, was much defaced by the fire as above-mentioned. In the south cross was Burleigh chantry, mentioned before, which being burnt down in 1590, was repaired by John Darell, esq. of Calehill, then proprietor of it, whose arms are on the pews of it, as mentioned below. In king Richard II.'s time, the block on which St. John the Baptist was said to have been beheaded, was brought into England, and kept in this church. In the high chancel is a memorial for Samuel Belcher, gent. of Charing, obt. 1756, æt. 6l. and for his two wives. In the little chancel, now called Wickins chancel, are memorials for the Nethersoles and Derings; in the middle isle, for Peirce, Henman, and Ludwell; in the north cross monuments for Sir Robert Honywood, of Pett, and the Sayer family; in the south cross, memorials for Mushey Teale, M.D. in 1760, and for Mary his wife; his arms, Azure, a cockatrice regardant, sable; in chief, three martlets of the second. The pews in it are of oak, and much ornamented at their ends next the space with carvework, among which are these arms, a coat quarterly, first and sourth, A lion rampant, crowned; second, A fess indented, in chief, three mullets; third, Three bugle-horns stringed, impaling a fess, between three cross-croslets, fitchee. Another, Three bugle-horns stringed. Another, A lion rampant, crowned, or. Another, the crest of a Saracen's head, 1598.
The church of Charing was antiently appendant to the manor, and was part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, to which it was appropriated before the 8th year of king Richard II. and it remained with it till archbishop Cranmer, anno 37 Henry VIII. granted that manor, and all his estates within this parish, and the advowsons of this rectory and vicarage, to the king; (fn. 10) and these advowsons remained in the crown till Edward VI. granted them, together with the advowson of the chapel of Egerton, and other premises in Essex, in exchange, in his first year, to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London. In which state they continue at this time, the dean and chapter of St. Paul's being now proprietors of this rectory appropriate, together with the advowson of the vicarage of this church.
¶King Henry VIII. in his 38th year, demised this rectory, and the chapel of Egerton, to Leonard Hetherington, gent. for twenty-one years, and the lease of it continued in his descendants till one of them sold his interest in it, in king James I.'s reign. to John Dering, esq. of Egerton, but by some means, long before his death in 1618, it had passed into the possession of Edward, lord Wotton. How long it continued in his family I have not found; but it afterwards was demised to the family of Barrell, of Rochester, with whom the demise of it remained for many years; and in one of their delcendants it remained down to the Rev. Edmund Marthall, vicar of this parish, who died in 1797, possessed of the lease of it.
This vicarage is valued in the king's books at thirteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 6s. and is now of the clear yearly certified value of seventy-two pounds. In 1588 it was valued at fifty pounds. Communicants three hundred and twenty-six. In 1640, at eighty pounds. Communicants three hundred and seventy; and in 1700 it was valued at one hundred and ten pounds.
In 1535 this church was accounted a sinecure, which accounts for its having been formerly called a prebend.

Down the hill from Challock and Kings Wood, sitting on the junction of two ancient high roads, but now split in half by the A20, Charing is delightful.
It is nine years perhaps since I was last here. I took two shots outside, and four inside.
How could I have been so blind?
Charing is a tangle of narrow lanes and timber framed houses, with the church at the end of a narrow lane which ends in what used to be the market place. To the north of the square sits what used to be the Bishop's Palace, still an impressive collection of buildings, although now a private dwelling and a farm.
I found the church open, and was first struck by its fine decoration and impressive size.
------------------------------------------
A large church beautifully positioned next to the remains of the medieval Archbishop's Palace just off the High Street. The west tower was built in the late fifteenth century. During its construction the body of the church was destroyed in an accidental fire - started by a man shooting at pigeons on the roof. The replacement roofs are clearly dated on the tie-beams as 1592 and 1620. A fine early seventeenth-century pulpit and nice collection of eighteenth-century tablets add much to the character of the building. The south nave window is a very strange shape, basically square, with four lights of equal height surmounted by a net of elaborate triangles, quatrefoils and, unusually, an octofoil! It is of fourteenth-century date.

CHARING
IS the adjoining parish to Westwell north-westward. It is written in Domesday, Cheringes, and in other antient records, Cerringes and Cherring.
It lies partly below and partly above the upper range of chalk hills, where there is much woodland. It is a healthy, though not a very pleasant situation, from the nature of the soils in it, all which are but poor; about the town or village, and to the summit of the hill it is chalky; above the hill a red cludgy earth covered with slints, and below the town mostly a sand. At the western boundary, next to Lenham, is Charing heath; it is watered by several small streamlets, which rising near the foot of the hills, direct their course southward into the Stour, which runs towards Ashford just below the boundary of it. The village, or town of Charing, as it is more usually called, stands at the foot of the hill, called from it Charing-hill, over which the high road leads through it from Faversham, through Smarden and Biddenden, and thence to Cranbrooke and Tenterden in the Weald. The high road likewise from Ashford, since the new turnpike has been completed, is made by new cuts to pass through this town and Lenham, instead of its former more southern circuit by Chilson park and Sandway towards Maidstone, shortening its distance considerably. Notwithstanding these roads, there is no great matter of traffic through it, the town is unpaved, and has a clean countryfied look, there is a good house in it, formerly belonging to the Poole's, whose arms were, Azure, a lion rampant, argent, semee, of fleur de lis, or. Afterwards to Dr. Ludwell, who bore for his arms, Gules, on a bend, argent, three eagles, azure, between two castles of the second; and then to the Carter's, one of whom sold it to George Norwood, esq. who resides in it. Not far from it is an antient mansion, which has been modernized formerly, called Peirce-house, now belonging to Mr. James Wakeley, who resides in it; at a small distance from the street eastward is the ruinated palace, the church and the vicarage, a pleasant habitable dwelling.
There are large ruins of the archiepiscopal palace still remaining; the antient great gateway to it is now standing, and much of the sides of the court within it, on the east side of which seems to have been the dining-room, the walls of which remain, and it is converted into a barn. On the opposite side to this are many of the offices, now made into stables. Fronting the great gateway above-mentioned, seems to have been the entrance into the palace itself, part of which, on the east side, is fitted up as a dwelling-house, at the back of which, northward, are the remains of the chapel, the walls of which are standing entire, being built of squared stone, mixed with slints; on the side wall of it are three windows, with pointed arches, and at the east end a much larger one, of the same form. Sir Nicholas Gilborne, hereafter mentioned, as having resided here in king James I.'s reign, was son of William Gilborne, esq. of London, who lies buried in St. Catherine's Creechurch, London, descended from the Gilbornes, of Ereswike, in Yorkshire, and bore for their arms, Azure, on a chevron, or, three roses gules, within a bordure of the second. (fn. 1) Sir Nicholas had two sons and several daughters; one of whom, Anne, married Charles Wheler, esq. of Tottenham, grandfather of Sir George Wheler, D. D. and prebendary of Durham, the purchaser afterwards of this manor and palace, as will be further mentioned.
The two sairs which were granted in the 21st year of king Henry VI. are now held on April 29, and October 29, for horses, cattle, and pedlary.

The church of Charing was antiently appendant to the manor, and was part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, to which it was appropriated before the 8th year of king Richard II. and it remained with it till archbishop Cranmer, anno 37 Henry VIII. granted that manor, and all his estates within this parish, and the advowsons of this rectory and vicarage, to the king; (fn. 10) and these advowsons remained in the crown till Edward VI. granted them, together with the advowson of the chapel of Egerton, and other premises in Essex, in exchange, in his first year, to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London. In which state they continue at this time, the dean and chapter of St. Paul's being now proprietors of this rectory appropriate, together with the advowson of the vicarage of this church.
¶King Henry VIII. in his 38th year, demised this rectory, and the chapel of Egerton, to Leonard Hetherington, gent. for twenty-one years, and the lease of it continued in his descendants till one of them sold his interest in it, in king James I.'s reign. to John Dering, esq. of Egerton, but by some means, long before his death in 1618, it had passed into the possession of Edward, lord Wotton. How long it continued in his family I have not found; but it afterwards was demised to the family of Barrell, of Rochester, with whom the demise of it remained for many years; and in one of their delcendants it remained down to the Rev. Edmund Marthall, vicar of this parish, who died in 1797, possessed of the lease of it.
This vicarage is valued in the king's books at thirteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 6s. and is now of the clear yearly certified value of seventy-two pounds. In 1588 it was valued at fifty pounds. Communicants three hundred and twenty-six. In 1640, at eighty pounds. Communicants three hundred and seventy; and in 1700 it was valued at one hundred and ten pounds.
In 1535 this church was accounted a sinecure, which accounts for its having been formerly called a prebend.
Le cimetière chinois de Nolette est un cimetière situé le territoire de la commune française de Noyelles-sur-Mer où sont inhumés les travailleurs civils chinois employés par l'armée britannique pendant la Première Guerre mondiale.
Il s'agit du plus grand cimetière chinois de France et d'Europe
Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, Noyelles abrita une importante base arrière britannique dont un grand camp de coolies (travailleurs immigrés chinois). Ils furent recrutés par l'armée britannique entre 1917 et 1919 dans le cadre du corps de travailleurs chinois (en anglais, Chinese Labour Corps), pour des tâches de manutention à l'arrière du front mais certains connaitront les zones de combat.
Ils représentent l'une des premières immigrations chinoises en France. Ils avaient l'interdiction de se mêler à la population civile du lieu. Certains resteront en France après la Grande Guerre.

Ils étaient affectés à des tâches pénibles et dangereuses comme le terrassement de tranchées, le ramassage des soldats morts sur le champ de bataille, le déminage des terrains reconquis, la blanchisserie, les services de santé auprès des malades, en particulier ceux atteints de la grippe espagnole...
En 1921, le gouvernement britannique décida l'édification du cimetière chinois à Nolette. Le Major Truelove est chargé de sa réalisation sous l'autorité d'Edwin Lutyens.
Depuis 2002, le cimetière de Nolette est le lieu de célébration de la Fête de Qing Ming (Fête des Morts chinoise) en France organisée par le Conseil pour l'intégration des communautés d'origine chinoise en France.
On trouve dans le département de la Somme des tombes de coolies dans les cimetières d'Abbeville, Albert, Daours, Gézaincourt, Tincourt-Boucly et Villers-Carbonnel.
Propriété de l'État français et gérée par la Commonwealth War Graves Commission, la nécropole située près du hameau de Nolette dans la commune de Noyelles-sur-Mer a été inaugurée en 1921 par le Préfet de la Somme. 849 travailleurs chinois sont inhumés à Noyelles-sur-Mer. La plupart travaillait au camp chinois de l'armée britannique situé sur la commune entre 1917 et 1919.

Beaucoup sont morts d'une épidémie de choléra qui a sévi dans le camp, de la grippe espagnole en 1918-1919 ou de la tuberculose, voire tués dans les zones de combat.
Le site est caractérisée par le portail d'entrée, les inscriptions sur les tombes et les essences d'arbres (pins, cèdres...) qu'on ne rencontre pas dans les autres cimetières du Commonwealth ainsi que par l'absence de croix du Sacrifice et de pierre du Souvenir.
Les tombes de ce cimetière sont constituées de 849 stèles en marbre blanc, avec sur chacune d'elle gravée une inscription en anglais « Faithful unto Death » ou « Though dead he still liveth » ou encore « A good reputation endures for ever » ainsi que des idéogrammes chinois et parfois, très rarement, le nom en anglais ou le matricule du défunt.
Le porche monumental et le mur de l'entrée tiennent lieu de mémorial pour la quarantaine de Chinois morts sur terre ou sur mer sans tombes connues.
Des statues de lions offerts par la République populaire de Chine sont situées, non loin de la nécropole, à l'entrée de la rue qui mène au cimetière de Nolette

History of the parish
1187, Wolkersdorf was for the first time as "Wolfkersdorf" in a deed of donatio by Manhard and Ulrich von Hintperch (= Himberg) mentioned. The parish Wolkersdorf appears in 1328 for the first time as a manorial establishment. The parish has always been limited to the local area. Over the centuries, the residents of the parish brought it through diligence and thrift to a modest prosperity. As to infestations, natural disasters and two plague epidemics are mentioned. The parish, located in the eastern border area of Austria, in times of war through occupation and looting had to suffer much. Mention should be made in this respect of the Turkish threat, the incursion of the Swedes during the 30 Years War, the plundering by the French under Napoleon as well as the Prussian army, which had advanced after the defeat of Austria in Hradec Králové in 1866 to the Rußbach (brook); finally the difficult time of the Soviet occupation after the Second World War should be mentioned. By order of the Lower Austrian Provincial Government of 14th November 1968 Wolkersdorf was conferred upon it the town charter. By the archbishop of Vienna the deanery Pillichsdorf on 1st January 1996 was renamed into the deanery Wolkersdorf. The parish has about 3,000 Catholics.
Parish Church
The parish church was built by Stephan von Slaet 1341-1350 and dedicated to Saint Margaret. This small gothic church (9.40 m long, 5.45 m wide, about 9 m high) is the presbytery for the today's parish church. 1727 Emperor Charles VI. the house of God by the Baroque nave had to its present size expanded (21.8 m long, 9.9 m wide, 12.5 m high). Despite the uniform external facade design, the two phases of construction are still recognizable, the Gothic presbytery and the Baroque ship. In 1754 Empress Maria Theresa the tower had built (37 m high).
Interior equipment: When you enter the church through the main gate under the tower, you are received by a bright, in cheerful colors decorated space. In the vertex of the presbytery wall the mighty Habsburg imperial eagle can be seen. The heart shield of the double eagle is surrounded by the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece and bears the monogram Emperor Charles VI . - CVI. In the claws the eagle holds sword and scepter, while a banner the motto of the Emperor and the year of the expansion of the church shows: "Constantia et Fortitudine" (with steadiness and fortitude) 1727.
The Baroque high altar was built in 1768 in imitation marble. The structure has over the tabernacle yet a Drehtabernakel (revolving tabernacle) for exposure of the Blessed Sacrament. Above it forms a plastic, the apocalyptic Lamb of God representing, flanked by two adoring angels, the conclusion. The retabel structure fits organically into the Gothic choir. Right of the altar is on a high pedestal saint Rochus represented, on the left, in the same way the holy Sebastian. In the middle part is behind the high altar in a picture larger than life the church patron, saint Margaretha represented (the painting is signed "FB 1832" - painter unknown). The saint stands upright and holds in her left hand a cross against the dragon (symbolizing the temptation to apostasy), while Schwurhand (oath hand) and look to our Heavenly Father are elevated, which appears above her. In the right wall of the presbytery there are seating niches with small ribbed vaults in the Gothic style (around 1350) with the coat of arms of the Counts of Nuremberg worked off.
On the side altars are two late Baroque wood-carved figures (1760), saint Joseph and the most blessed Virgin Mary, erected. The pulpit in the Rococo style dates back to 1770. The Stations of the Cross - by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum 1968 of basswood carved - are attached to the side walls of the nave. The organ was built in 1897 by the Viennese organ builder Johann M. Kauffmann as a mechanical cone chests organ with 16 registers.
From the church square the church staircase on a bridge (flying buttress) above the Mittelstraße (central road) leads to the parish church. In 1727, this staircase was decorated with six life-sized Baroque stone sculptures. This is probably an expression of gratitude for the successful baroque church reconstruction under Emperor Charles VI. Initiator of the edification of the saints was the then minister Christoph Leopold Edler von Guarient and Raall. The work was financed by donations from the guilds and by donations from individual citizens.
On the right side of the ascent there are statues
of saint Charles Borromeo, who was regarded as the patron saint against the plague.
of saint John of Nepomuk, who as a "bridge saint" was very revered among the people, and above
of st. Florian, who was popular as a patron of the fire and the forge.
On the left side there are the statues
of st. Joseph, who was called on as a patron for a good hour of death, and as a protector against an unprepared, sudden death,
the Mother of God as immaculately received Virgin who crushes the serpent's head, and above
of saint Leopold, the country's (Lower Austria) patron saint, who is represented as founder of churches and monasteries (church on the right arm).
Vicarage
The vicarage was built around 1727. The building with a Gothic core in 1797 was increased and adapted as parsonage. During the March battles against Napoleon, Emperor Franz I had from 16th May to 6th July 1809 here his headquarters installed. In 1997, the exterior facade was renovated.
Parish centre
By 1970 the parish center was built as a meeting place. Inside is an auditorium and seminar rooms which are used by the parochial groups. The parish center was built from 1971 to 1973 under Pastor Karl Ponweiser as a meeting place. The house is intended for cultural and pastoral events. It is used by all parish groups and for individual events (eg lectures, concerts, theatrical performances, balls) also leased.
Lourdes Chapel
At the point where yet in 1783 a cross was erected "to the glory of God and the consolation of the poor souls", the chapel was built in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes in 1890. 1909 this church was enlarged in the neo-Gothic-Romanesque style, so this first chapel is forming the presbytery for the present chapel.
In the curvature of the chancel 1971 a by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum of basswood carved statue of Mary (1.3 m high) was erected. The statue is carved in the style of "lovely Madonnas" of the Gothic. The Mother of God carries in her right arm the Infant Jesus and in her left hand she holds a bunch of grapes, and she is therefore worshiped as "Wine-Producing Country Madonna", too.

Saint-Malo Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse de Saint-Malo) is a Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to Saint Vincent of Saragossa, and a national monument of France, in Saint-Malo, Brittany.
It was formerly the seat of the Bishop of Saint-Malo. This see was created in 1146 when Jean de Châtillon, Bishop of Aleth, transferred his bishopric to the growing town of Saint-Malo on a more secure site across the river. The monastery of Saint Malo, founded in 1108, became the home of the bishopric and its church the new cathedral, replacing Aleth Cathedral.
It was abolished under the Concordat of 1801 and its territory divided between the dioceses of Rennes, Saint-Brieuc and Vannes.
FRENCH
La cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse de Saint-Malo est une ancienne cathédrale catholique romaine dédiée à saint Vincent de Saragosse, situé à Saint-Malo en Bretagne. Son architecture mélange les styles roman et gothique, et elle est classée monument historique de France1.
Elle a été le siège de l'ancien évêché de Saint-Malo depuis l'année 1146. Ce dernier fut supprimé par le concordat de 1801, et son territoire réparti entre les diocèses de Rennes, de Saint-Brieuc et de Vannes.
L'évêché de Saint-Malo fut créé en 1146, lorsque Jean de Châtillon, évêque d'Aleth depuis 1144, transféra son évêché à Saint-Malo, ville en croissance continue à l'époque, qui constituait en outre un site beaucoup plus sûr. Il fallut attendre 1146 et l'agrément du pape Eugène III, pour que le transfert puisse s'effectuer. Le monastère de Saint-Malo, fondé en 1108, devint la résidence de l'évêque et son église monastique devint cathédrale, remplaçant ainsi la cathédrale Saint-Pierre d'Aleth. Des transformations furent réalisées dont l'édification du chœur, ce qui en fit un monument totalement de style roman.
De cet édifice de style roman du XIIe siècle subsistent la nef, la croisée du transept et une travée des croisillons nord et sud, ainsi qu'une partie du cloître. Le chœur a été reconstruit au XIIIe siècle, la tour commencée au XIIe fut surélevée au XVe, de même que le collatéral sud et trois chapelles du chœur. À la fin du XVIe siècle et au début du XVIIe siècle (entre 1583 et 1607), on reconstruisit le collatéral nord, tandis que le transept nord fut agrandi. L'aile du rosaire au sud fut commencée dans les années 1620. En 1695, les canons de la flotte anglo-hollandaise détruisirent la rosace du chevet, laquelle fut remplacée par trois baies en plein-cintre.
Au XVIIIe siècle, on édifia la chapelle sud, et la tour du clocher fut surélevée. La façade fut reconstruite peu après, en style néoclassique (1772-1773).
Au XIXe siècle, Napoléon III se laissa convaincre par le curé de l'époque de faire coiffer la tour d'une grande flèche ajourée, laquelle fut entourée de quatre clochetons ajourés, construite par Frangeul Père et Fils. (Cette flèche remplaçait un petit dôme d'ardoise).
Au XXe siècle enfin, la cathédrale fut endommagée lors des combats de l'été 1944. La flèche fut pilonée par un destroyer Allemand, croyant qu'elle pourrait servir de repère aux Américains, et elle s'écroula sur la chapelle dite « du Sacré-Cœur ». Les dégâts nécessitèrent une restauration importante qui débuta dès 1944, dirigée par l'architecte Raymond Cornon, et se termina en 1972. La flèche de la cathédrale fut reconstruite en un style plus proche de celui de l'ensemble de l'édifice par l'architecte Prunet et abrite quatre cloches, ce clocher a été vivement contesté par les Malouins à l'époque, et aujourd'hui encore beaucoup de Malouins regrettent l'ancienne flèche.
Suite à la grande restauration de 1944-1972 et aux derniers embellissements, on peut dire que la cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse à Saint-Malo a retrouvé toute sa splendeur.
Une nouvelle grande rosace conçue par Raymond Cornon, a remplacé les trois baies du chevet et restitue le visage de la cathédrale tel qu'il était avant les destructions anglaises de 1695. Jean Le Moal orna de vitraux les fenêtres des bras du transept et du chœur réalisés par Bernard Allain. Les nouveaux vitraux de la nef ont quant à eux été réalisés par Max Ingrand.
Les grandes orgues réalisées par les facteurs Koenig, père et fils, construites en 1977 et inaugurées en 1980. Il est composé de 4 claviers et 1 pédalier et 35 jeux, cet orgue remplace celui de Louis Debierre construit en 1893 de style romantique qui fut détruit en 1944.
Le mobilier du sanctuaire comporte notamment un maître-autel, un siège de présidence et un baptistère en bronze. Ce sont des œuvres d'Arcabas père et fils.
La cathédrale abrite également les restes de l'évêque fondateur Jean de Châtillon, de Jacques Cartier et du corsaire René Duguay-Trouin.
Depuis 2003, elle abrite la statue de la Vierge à l'Enfant dite Notre-Dame de la Grand'Porte. Celle-ci restaurée se trouvait initialement au dessus de la Grand-Porte de Saint-Malo intra-muros où elle pour des raisons de protection et des intempéries remplacée par une copie.

A Catedral de São Vicente de Zaragoza Saint-Malo é um ex-catedral católica romana dedicada a São Vicente de Saragoça, localizado em Saint-Malo, na Bretanha. Sua arquitetura mistura os estilos românico e gótico, e é classificada como um monumento histórico na França 1.
Era o local do bispado ex-St. Malo dos 1146 anos. O último foi suprimido pela Concordata de 1801, e seu território dividido entre as dioceses de Rennes, Saint-Brieuc e Vannes.
O bispado de St. Malo foi criado em 1146, quando Jean de Châtillon, Bispo de Aleth desde 1144, transferiu sua sede em Saint-Malo, o crescimento da cidade continua na época, que era também um local muito mais seguro . Não foi até 1146 ea aprovação do Papa Eugênio III, a transferência pode ter lugar. O mosteiro de Saint-Malo, fundada em 1108, tornou-se a residência do bispo e da igreja monástica tornou-se uma catedral, substituindo a Catedral de St. Pierre Aleth. Transformações foram realizadas com a construção do coro, que fizeram um total de monumentos românicos.
Este edifício românico do século XII, permanecem a nave, o transepto e cintas abrangem o norte eo sul, e parte do claustro. A capela-mor foi reconstruído no século XIII, a torre foi iniciada no décimo segundo ao décimo quinto levantadas, bem como o corredor sul do coro e três capelas. No final do século XVI e início do século XVII (entre 1583 e 1607), que reconstruiu o corredor norte, enquanto o transepto norte foi alargada. A ala sul do Rosário foi iniciada na década de 1620. Em 1695, as armas da frota anglo-holandesa destruiu a rosácea da abside, que foi substituído por três baía semicircular.
No século XVIII, construiu a capela ao sul, ea torre sineira foi levantada. A fachada foi reconstruída logo depois, em estilo neoclássico (1772-1773).
No século XIX, Napoleão III foi persuadido pelo sacerdote do tempo para tampar a torre de uma grande seta perfurado, que foi cercado por quatro torres perfurado, Frangeul construído pelo Pai e Filho. (Esta seta substituiu uma pequena cúpula de ardósia).
Finalmente no século XX, a catedral foi danificada durante o conflito no verão de 1944. A seta foi pilonée um destróier alemão, acreditando que ele poderia servir como uma referência para os americanos, e ela caiu sobre a capela chamada de "Sagrado Coração". O dano exigiu uma grande restauração, que começou em 1944, liderado pelo arquiteto Raymond Cornon, e terminou em 1972. A torre da catedral foi reconstruída em um estilo mais próximo ao de todo o edifício pela Prunet arquiteto e casas quatro sinos, o sino foi fortemente contestada pelo St. Malo na época, e hoje grande parte do Malouins seta velha arrependimento.
Após a grande restauração de 1944-1972 e as últimas melhorias, podemos dizer que a Catedral de São Vicente de Saragoça, em Saint-Malo recuperou toda a sua glória.
Uma janela nova rosa grande desenhado por Raymond Cornon, substituiu os três baías da abside e restaura o rosto da catedral como era antes da destruição da Inglaterra em 1695. Jean Le Moal adornado com vitrais na transeptos e coro conduzido por Bernard Allain. As novas janelas na nave foram entretanto feitas por Max Ingrand.
O grande órgão feito por fatores Koenig, pai e filho, construído em 1977 e inaugurado em 1980. Tem 4 teclados e um pedal e 35 jogos, este órgão substitui o Debierre Louis construída em 1893 em estilo romântico, que foi destruída em 1944.
A mobília do santuário deve incluir um altar, um assento de cadeira e um batistério bronze. Estas são obras de Arcabas pai e filho.
A catedral também abriga os restos mortais do fundador Jean Bispo de Chatillon, Jacques Cartier e corsário René Duguay-Trouin.
Desde 2003, abriga a estátua da Virgem com o Menino conhecida como Nossa Senhora de Porte do Grand '. Ele foi inicialmente restaurados pela Grande Porte de Saint-Malo intra muros, onde por razões de protecção dos elementos e substituído por uma cópia.
Down the hill from Challock and Kings Wood, sitting on the junction of two ancient high roads, but now split in half by the A20, Charing is delightful.
It is nine years perhaps since I was last here. I took two shots outside, and four inside.
How could I have been so blind?
Charing is a tangle of narrow lanes and timber framed houses, with the church at the end of a narrow lane which ends in what used to be the market place. To the north of the square sits what used to be the Bishop's Palace, still an impressive collection of buildings, although now a private dwelling and a farm.
I found the church open, and was first struck by its fine decoration and impressive size.
------------------------------------------
A large church beautifully positioned next to the remains of the medieval Archbishop's Palace just off the High Street. The west tower was built in the late fifteenth century. During its construction the body of the church was destroyed in an accidental fire - started by a man shooting at pigeons on the roof. The replacement roofs are clearly dated on the tie-beams as 1592 and 1620. A fine early seventeenth-century pulpit and nice collection of eighteenth-century tablets add much to the character of the building. The south nave window is a very strange shape, basically square, with four lights of equal height surmounted by a net of elaborate triangles, quatrefoils and, unusually, an octofoil! It is of fourteenth-century date.

CHARING
IS the adjoining parish to Westwell north-westward. It is written in Domesday, Cheringes, and in other antient records, Cerringes and Cherring.
It lies partly below and partly above the upper range of chalk hills, where there is much woodland. It is a healthy, though not a very pleasant situation, from the nature of the soils in it, all which are but poor; about the town or village, and to the summit of the hill it is chalky; above the hill a red cludgy earth covered with slints, and below the town mostly a sand. At the western boundary, next to Lenham, is Charing heath; it is watered by several small streamlets, which rising near the foot of the hills, direct their course southward into the Stour, which runs towards Ashford just below the boundary of it. The village, or town of Charing, as it is more usually called, stands at the foot of the hill, called from it Charing-hill, over which the high road leads through it from Faversham, through Smarden and Biddenden, and thence to Cranbrooke and Tenterden in the Weald. The high road likewise from Ashford, since the new turnpike has been completed, is made by new cuts to pass through this town and Lenham, instead of its former more southern circuit by Chilson park and Sandway towards Maidstone, shortening its distance considerably. Notwithstanding these roads, there is no great matter of traffic through it, the town is unpaved, and has a clean countryfied look, there is a good house in it, formerly belonging to the Poole's, whose arms were, Azure, a lion rampant, argent, semee, of fleur de lis, or. Afterwards to Dr. Ludwell, who bore for his arms, Gules, on a bend, argent, three eagles, azure, between two castles of the second; and then to the Carter's, one of whom sold it to George Norwood, esq. who resides in it. Not far from it is an antient mansion, which has been modernized formerly, called Peirce-house, now belonging to Mr. James Wakeley, who resides in it; at a small distance from the street eastward is the ruinated palace, the church and the vicarage, a pleasant habitable dwelling.
There are large ruins of the archiepiscopal palace still remaining; the antient great gateway to it is now standing, and much of the sides of the court within it, on the east side of which seems to have been the dining-room, the walls of which remain, and it is converted into a barn. On the opposite side to this are many of the offices, now made into stables. Fronting the great gateway above-mentioned, seems to have been the entrance into the palace itself, part of which, on the east side, is fitted up as a dwelling-house, at the back of which, northward, are the remains of the chapel, the walls of which are standing entire, being built of squared stone, mixed with slints; on the side wall of it are three windows, with pointed arches, and at the east end a much larger one, of the same form. Sir Nicholas Gilborne, hereafter mentioned, as having resided here in king James I.'s reign, was son of William Gilborne, esq. of London, who lies buried in St. Catherine's Creechurch, London, descended from the Gilbornes, of Ereswike, in Yorkshire, and bore for their arms, Azure, on a chevron, or, three roses gules, within a bordure of the second. (fn. 1) Sir Nicholas had two sons and several daughters; one of whom, Anne, married Charles Wheler, esq. of Tottenham, grandfather of Sir George Wheler, D. D. and prebendary of Durham, the purchaser afterwards of this manor and palace, as will be further mentioned.
The two sairs which were granted in the 21st year of king Henry VI. are now held on April 29, and October 29, for horses, cattle, and pedlary.
The parish has in it the boroughs of Town, Sandpit, East Lenham, part of Field, and Acton.
Several of our antiquaries have supposed the Roman station, mentioned in the 2d iter of Antonine by the name of Durolevum, corruptly for Durolenum, to have been in this neighbourhood; and Dr. Plot mentions his discovery of a Roman way, which seemed to have passed the Medway at Teston, and crossing Cocksheath, pointed towards Lenham hither. Most of those who have contended for this station having been hereabouts, have fixed it at Lenham. Only two of them, Mr. Talbot and Dr. Stukeley, after much hesitation, where to place it, were for its having been here at Charing; the latter founded his opinion on the Roman antiquities, which he says, have been found all about here, which Horsley accounts for, from a supposition of this having been only a notilia way, and indeed there is but little, if any, foundation for any supposition that the station above-mentioned was here at Charing; that it was a notitia way, there is great reason to suppose, as has been already mentioned before, in the description of Lenham, to which may be added, that there is in this parish, about a mile S. S. W. from the town a hamlet called Stone-street, a name, which is a certain indication of its note in former times.
Mr. Jacob, in his Plantœ Favershamienses, has taken notice of several scarce plants in this parish, to which account the reader is referred from them.
There was a family who took their name from this parish, one of whom, Adam de Cherringes, was excommunicated by archbishop Becket, and, as it should seem, to blot out the heinousness of this offence, afterwards, in the time of archbishop Baldwin, the next successor but one to Becket, founded an hospital for leprous persons, at Romney, in honour of St. Stephen and St. Thomas Becket.
Anno 26 Edward I. the king granted licence to shut up a high road leading from Charing to Ashford.
¶The vulgar tradition, that Charing cross, in Westminster, was so called from a cross, which once stood on the summit of the hill here, which being taken from hence, was carried and set up there, is entirely without foundation; for the cross, which stood where the figure of king Charles on horseback now is at Charing-cross, in the centre of the three highways, as was then usual, was made and erected there in the year 1292, anno 21 Edward I. in that village which long before had been called Cheringes, and Charing, but which afterwards was universally called, from thence, Charing-cross. (fn. 2)
CHARING is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of its own name, and is exempt from the jurisdiction of the archdeacon.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is a handsome building, consisting of one isle and a transept, a high chancel and one small one on the south side of it. The tower, having a small beacon turret at one corner, is at the west end. There is only one bell in it. This tower was begun to be built of stone (for it was before of wood) at the latter end of king Edward IV.'s reign, as appears by the several legacies to the rebuilding of it, in the wills in the Prerogative-office, Canterbury, from 1479 to 1545, about which time only it seems to have been finished. On the stonework at the outside of it, are the arms of Brent, and a coat, being a star of many points, still remaining. In the year 1590 this church was consumed by fire, to the very stones of the building, which happened from a gun discharged at a pidgeon, then upon the roof of it; by which the windows and gravestones of the family of Brent were desaced. John Brent, sen. of Charing, in 1501, was buried in this church, before the door of the new chapel of the blessed Virgin Mary, where no burial had as yet been; and Amy Brent, of Charing, gentlewoman, by will in 1516, was buried within that chapel of her own edification. This chapel, now called Wickins chancel, was much defaced by the fire as above-mentioned. In the south cross was Burleigh chantry, mentioned before, which being burnt down in 1590, was repaired by John Darell, esq. of Calehill, then proprietor of it, whose arms are on the pews of it, as mentioned below. In king Richard II.'s time, the block on which St. John the Baptist was said to have been beheaded, was brought into England, and kept in this church. In the high chancel is a memorial for Samuel Belcher, gent. of Charing, obt. 1756, æt. 6l. and for his two wives. In the little chancel, now called Wickins chancel, are memorials for the Nethersoles and Derings; in the middle isle, for Peirce, Henman, and Ludwell; in the north cross monuments for Sir Robert Honywood, of Pett, and the Sayer family; in the south cross, memorials for Mushey Teale, M.D. in 1760, and for Mary his wife; his arms, Azure, a cockatrice regardant, sable; in chief, three martlets of the second. The pews in it are of oak, and much ornamented at their ends next the space with carvework, among which are these arms, a coat quarterly, first and sourth, A lion rampant, crowned; second, A fess indented, in chief, three mullets; third, Three bugle-horns stringed, impaling a fess, between three cross-croslets, fitchee. Another, Three bugle-horns stringed. Another, A lion rampant, crowned, or. Another, the crest of a Saracen's head, 1598.
The church of Charing was antiently appendant to the manor, and was part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, to which it was appropriated before the 8th year of king Richard II. and it remained with it till archbishop Cranmer, anno 37 Henry VIII. granted that manor, and all his estates within this parish, and the advowsons of this rectory and vicarage, to the king; (fn. 10) and these advowsons remained in the crown till Edward VI. granted them, together with the advowson of the chapel of Egerton, and other premises in Essex, in exchange, in his first year, to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London. In which state they continue at this time, the dean and chapter of St. Paul's being now proprietors of this rectory appropriate, together with the advowson of the vicarage of this church.
¶King Henry VIII. in his 38th year, demised this rectory, and the chapel of Egerton, to Leonard Hetherington, gent. for twenty-one years, and the lease of it continued in his descendants till one of them sold his interest in it, in king James I.'s reign. to John Dering, esq. of Egerton, but by some means, long before his death in 1618, it had passed into the possession of Edward, lord Wotton. How long it continued in his family I have not found; but it afterwards was demised to the family of Barrell, of Rochester, with whom the demise of it remained for many years; and in one of their delcendants it remained down to the Rev. Edmund Marthall, vicar of this parish, who died in 1797, possessed of the lease of it.
This vicarage is valued in the king's books at thirteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 6s. and is now of the clear yearly certified value of seventy-two pounds. In 1588 it was valued at fifty pounds. Communicants three hundred and twenty-six. In 1640, at eighty pounds. Communicants three hundred and seventy; and in 1700 it was valued at one hundred and ten pounds.
In 1535 this church was accounted a sinecure, which accounts for its having been formerly called a prebend.
Down the hill from Challock and Kings Wood, sitting on the junction of two ancient high roads, but now split in half by the A20, Charing is delightful.
It is nine years perhaps since I was last here. I took two shots outside, and four inside.
How could I have been so blind?
Charing is a tangle of narrow lanes and timber framed houses, with the church at the end of a narrow lane which ends in what used to be the market place. To the north of the square sits what used to be the Bishop's Palace, still an impressive collection of buildings, although now a private dwelling and a farm.
I found the church open, and was first struck by its fine decoration and impressive size.
------------------------------------------
A large church beautifully positioned next to the remains of the medieval Archbishop's Palace just off the High Street. The west tower was built in the late fifteenth century. During its construction the body of the church was destroyed in an accidental fire - started by a man shooting at pigeons on the roof. The replacement roofs are clearly dated on the tie-beams as 1592 and 1620. A fine early seventeenth-century pulpit and nice collection of eighteenth-century tablets add much to the character of the building. The south nave window is a very strange shape, basically square, with four lights of equal height surmounted by a net of elaborate triangles, quatrefoils and, unusually, an octofoil! It is of fourteenth-century date.

CHARING
IS the adjoining parish to Westwell north-westward. It is written in Domesday, Cheringes, and in other antient records, Cerringes and Cherring.
It lies partly below and partly above the upper range of chalk hills, where there is much woodland. It is a healthy, though not a very pleasant situation, from the nature of the soils in it, all which are but poor; about the town or village, and to the summit of the hill it is chalky; above the hill a red cludgy earth covered with slints, and below the town mostly a sand. At the western boundary, next to Lenham, is Charing heath; it is watered by several small streamlets, which rising near the foot of the hills, direct their course southward into the Stour, which runs towards Ashford just below the boundary of it. The village, or town of Charing, as it is more usually called, stands at the foot of the hill, called from it Charing-hill, over which the high road leads through it from Faversham, through Smarden and Biddenden, and thence to Cranbrooke and Tenterden in the Weald. The high road likewise from Ashford, since the new turnpike has been completed, is made by new cuts to pass through this town and Lenham, instead of its former more southern circuit by Chilson park and Sandway towards Maidstone, shortening its distance considerably. Notwithstanding these roads, there is no great matter of traffic through it, the town is unpaved, and has a clean countryfied look, there is a good house in it, formerly belonging to the Poole's, whose arms were, Azure, a lion rampant, argent, semee, of fleur de lis, or. Afterwards to Dr. Ludwell, who bore for his arms, Gules, on a bend, argent, three eagles, azure, between two castles of the second; and then to the Carter's, one of whom sold it to George Norwood, esq. who resides in it. Not far from it is an antient mansion, which has been modernized formerly, called Peirce-house, now belonging to Mr. James Wakeley, who resides in it; at a small distance from the street eastward is the ruinated palace, the church and the vicarage, a pleasant habitable dwelling.
There are large ruins of the archiepiscopal palace still remaining; the antient great gateway to it is now standing, and much of the sides of the court within it, on the east side of which seems to have been the dining-room, the walls of which remain, and it is converted into a barn. On the opposite side to this are many of the offices, now made into stables. Fronting the great gateway above-mentioned, seems to have been the entrance into the palace itself, part of which, on the east side, is fitted up as a dwelling-house, at the back of which, northward, are the remains of the chapel, the walls of which are standing entire, being built of squared stone, mixed with slints; on the side wall of it are three windows, with pointed arches, and at the east end a much larger one, of the same form. Sir Nicholas Gilborne, hereafter mentioned, as having resided here in king James I.'s reign, was son of William Gilborne, esq. of London, who lies buried in St. Catherine's Creechurch, London, descended from the Gilbornes, of Ereswike, in Yorkshire, and bore for their arms, Azure, on a chevron, or, three roses gules, within a bordure of the second. (fn. 1) Sir Nicholas had two sons and several daughters; one of whom, Anne, married Charles Wheler, esq. of Tottenham, grandfather of Sir George Wheler, D. D. and prebendary of Durham, the purchaser afterwards of this manor and palace, as will be further mentioned.
The two sairs which were granted in the 21st year of king Henry VI. are now held on April 29, and October 29, for horses, cattle, and pedlary.
The parish has in it the boroughs of Town, Sandpit, East Lenham, part of Field, and Acton.
Several of our antiquaries have supposed the Roman station, mentioned in the 2d iter of Antonine by the name of Durolevum, corruptly for Durolenum, to have been in this neighbourhood; and Dr. Plot mentions his discovery of a Roman way, which seemed to have passed the Medway at Teston, and crossing Cocksheath, pointed towards Lenham hither. Most of those who have contended for this station having been hereabouts, have fixed it at Lenham. Only two of them, Mr. Talbot and Dr. Stukeley, after much hesitation, where to place it, were for its having been here at Charing; the latter founded his opinion on the Roman antiquities, which he says, have been found all about here, which Horsley accounts for, from a supposition of this having been only a notilia way, and indeed there is but little, if any, foundation for any supposition that the station above-mentioned was here at Charing; that it was a notitia way, there is great reason to suppose, as has been already mentioned before, in the description of Lenham, to which may be added, that there is in this parish, about a mile S. S. W. from the town a hamlet called Stone-street, a name, which is a certain indication of its note in former times.
Mr. Jacob, in his Plantœ Favershamienses, has taken notice of several scarce plants in this parish, to which account the reader is referred from them.
There was a family who took their name from this parish, one of whom, Adam de Cherringes, was excommunicated by archbishop Becket, and, as it should seem, to blot out the heinousness of this offence, afterwards, in the time of archbishop Baldwin, the next successor but one to Becket, founded an hospital for leprous persons, at Romney, in honour of St. Stephen and St. Thomas Becket.
Anno 26 Edward I. the king granted licence to shut up a high road leading from Charing to Ashford.
¶The vulgar tradition, that Charing cross, in Westminster, was so called from a cross, which once stood on the summit of the hill here, which being taken from hence, was carried and set up there, is entirely without foundation; for the cross, which stood where the figure of king Charles on horseback now is at Charing-cross, in the centre of the three highways, as was then usual, was made and erected there in the year 1292, anno 21 Edward I. in that village which long before had been called Cheringes, and Charing, but which afterwards was universally called, from thence, Charing-cross. (fn. 2)
CHARING is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of its own name, and is exempt from the jurisdiction of the archdeacon.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is a handsome building, consisting of one isle and a transept, a high chancel and one small one on the south side of it. The tower, having a small beacon turret at one corner, is at the west end. There is only one bell in it. This tower was begun to be built of stone (for it was before of wood) at the latter end of king Edward IV.'s reign, as appears by the several legacies to the rebuilding of it, in the wills in the Prerogative-office, Canterbury, from 1479 to 1545, about which time only it seems to have been finished. On the stonework at the outside of it, are the arms of Brent, and a coat, being a star of many points, still remaining. In the year 1590 this church was consumed by fire, to the very stones of the building, which happened from a gun discharged at a pidgeon, then upon the roof of it; by which the windows and gravestones of the family of Brent were desaced. John Brent, sen. of Charing, in 1501, was buried in this church, before the door of the new chapel of the blessed Virgin Mary, where no burial had as yet been; and Amy Brent, of Charing, gentlewoman, by will in 1516, was buried within that chapel of her own edification. This chapel, now called Wickins chancel, was much defaced by the fire as above-mentioned. In the south cross was Burleigh chantry, mentioned before, which being burnt down in 1590, was repaired by John Darell, esq. of Calehill, then proprietor of it, whose arms are on the pews of it, as mentioned below. In king Richard II.'s time, the block on which St. John the Baptist was said to have been beheaded, was brought into England, and kept in this church. In the high chancel is a memorial for Samuel Belcher, gent. of Charing, obt. 1756, æt. 6l. and for his two wives. In the little chancel, now called Wickins chancel, are memorials for the Nethersoles and Derings; in the middle isle, for Peirce, Henman, and Ludwell; in the north cross monuments for Sir Robert Honywood, of Pett, and the Sayer family; in the south cross, memorials for Mushey Teale, M.D. in 1760, and for Mary his wife; his arms, Azure, a cockatrice regardant, sable; in chief, three martlets of the second. The pews in it are of oak, and much ornamented at their ends next the space with carvework, among which are these arms, a coat quarterly, first and sourth, A lion rampant, crowned; second, A fess indented, in chief, three mullets; third, Three bugle-horns stringed, impaling a fess, between three cross-croslets, fitchee. Another, Three bugle-horns stringed. Another, A lion rampant, crowned, or. Another, the crest of a Saracen's head, 1598.
The church of Charing was antiently appendant to the manor, and was part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, to which it was appropriated before the 8th year of king Richard II. and it remained with it till archbishop Cranmer, anno 37 Henry VIII. granted that manor, and all his estates within this parish, and the advowsons of this rectory and vicarage, to the king; (fn. 10) and these advowsons remained in the crown till Edward VI. granted them, together with the advowson of the chapel of Egerton, and other premises in Essex, in exchange, in his first year, to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London. In which state they continue at this time, the dean and chapter of St. Paul's being now proprietors of this rectory appropriate, together with the advowson of the vicarage of this church.
¶King Henry VIII. in his 38th year, demised this rectory, and the chapel of Egerton, to Leonard Hetherington, gent. for twenty-one years, and the lease of it continued in his descendants till one of them sold his interest in it, in king James I.'s reign. to John Dering, esq. of Egerton, but by some means, long before his death in 1618, it had passed into the possession of Edward, lord Wotton. How long it continued in his family I have not found; but it afterwards was demised to the family of Barrell, of Rochester, with whom the demise of it remained for many years; and in one of their delcendants it remained down to the Rev. Edmund Marthall, vicar of this parish, who died in 1797, possessed of the lease of it.
This vicarage is valued in the king's books at thirteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 6s. and is now of the clear yearly certified value of seventy-two pounds. In 1588 it was valued at fifty pounds. Communicants three hundred and twenty-six. In 1640, at eighty pounds. Communicants three hundred and seventy; and in 1700 it was valued at one hundred and ten pounds.
In 1535 this church was accounted a sinecure, which accounts for its having been formerly called a prebend.
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien de Tours est l'église cathédrale catholique romaine, située à Tours, en Indre-et-Loire. Dédiée Saint-Gatien, elle est le siège du diocèse de Tours et la cathédrale métropolitaine de la province ecclésiastique de Tours.
Elle a été classée monument historique par liste de 1862.
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien a été construite entre 1170 et 1547. Lors de sa création, elle était située presque au débouché du pont franchissant la Loire, sur la route reliant Paris au sud-ouest de la France. Elle fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621.
La première cathédrale Saint-Maurice a été édifiée par Lidoire, évêque de Tours de 337 à 371 et prédécesseur de Martin. Incendiée en 561, elle est restaurée par Grégoire de Tours et dédicacée en 590. Du fait de son emplacement, à l'angle sud-ouest du castrum, et de son orientation à l'est, l'accès se faisait, sinon au travers de l'enceinte tardo-antique, du moins en baïonnette depuis la voie traversant la cité ; une telle configuration est rare2. La cathédrale de Tours est reconstruite au cours du deuxième quart du xiie siècle et est incendiée en 1166 lors des luttes entre Louis VII de France et Henri II d'Angleterre, comte d'Anjou. On ne connaît pas le plan de cet édifice.
La nef et le chœur :
La cathédrale actuelle remplace cet édifice roman. La première campagne a concerné le croisillon sud et les tours, dès 1170. Le chœur est reconstruit de 1236 à 1279 par Étienne de Mortagne. C'est la nef qui a demandé le plus de temps pour son édification. L'architecte Simon du Mans reconstruit le transept et entame la nef, dont six travées, bas-côtés et chapelles sont édifiés au xive siècle — les deux premières travées correspondent à celles de l'ancienne cathédrale romane et remontent au xiie siècle. La nef n'est achevée qu'au xve siècle par les architectes Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin et Jean Durand, grâce aux libéralités accordées par Charles VII et le duc de Bretagne Jean V. À l'occasion de l'édification du bâtiment actuel, la nef a donc été allongée vers l'ouest et les tours encadrant l'entrée sont élevées en dehors de l'ancienne cité, accentuant la particularité de l'édifice mentionnée supra ; l'enceinte tardo-antique est visible en coupe à l'arrière des tours depuis le nord. En 1356, la cathédrale reçoit le nouveau vocable de Gatien.
La façade a perdu les grandes statues des piédroits, détruites par les protestants au cours des guerres de Religion. Mais elle demeure une des plus extraordinaires créations du gothique flamboyant dans ce qu'il a de plus éxubérant, véritable dentelle de pierre sans guère d'équivalent, chef-d'œuvre décoratif de premier plan. Les tours sont élevées dans la première moitié du xvie siècle : la tour nord a été édifiée en 1507 par Pierre de Valence, et la tour sud entre 1534 et 1547 par Pierre Gadier.

La catedral San Gaciano de Tours, también llamada Catedral de Tours es la iglesia catedral de la diócesis de Tours y la catedral metropolitana de la provincia eclesiástica de Tours. Fue construida entre 1170 y 1547. Estaba situada durante su creación casi a la salida del puente que cruza el Loira, sobre la ruta que une París con el suroeste de Francia.
Historia:
La primera catedral de San Mauricio fue edificada por Lidoire, obispo de Tours del 337 al 371 y predecesor de Martín de Tours. Incendiada en el 561, fue restaurada por Gregorio de Tours y dedicada en el 590.
Su situación, en el ángulo suroeste del castrum, hace que la orientación al este haya hecho que el acceso se haga, sino a través de la muralla tardo-antigua, desde la vía que atraviesa la ciudad. Tal configuración es poco común. No se conoce el plano de este edificio.

Saint Gatien's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral church of the Tours diocese and the metropolitan cathedral of the Tours ecclesiastic province, in Indre-et-Loire, France. Saint-Gatien's Cathedral was built between 1170 and 1547. At the time construction began, it was located at the south end of the bridge over the Loire, on the road from Paris to the south-west of France. It has been a classified Monument historique since 1862.
The first cathedral of Saint-Maurice was built by Lidoire, bishop of Tours from 337 to 371 (preceding St Martin). Burnt in 561, it was restored by Gregory of Tours and rededicated in 590. Its location, at the south-west angle of the castrum, as well as its eastern orientation, resulted in the original access being through the late-Roman surrounding wall (such a configuration is quite rare).
The cathedral was then rebuilt during the second quarter of the 12th century and again burnt in 1166 during the conflict between Louis VII of France and Henry II of England (also count of Anjou, the neighboring region).
The present cathedral replaces the 13th century Romanesque building. The first phase concerned the south transept and the towers, as early as 1170. The chancel was rebuilt from 1236 to 1279 by Étienne de Mortagne but the nave took much longer to build. The architect Simon du Mans rebuilt the transept and started the nave, including six spans, aisle and chapel, built during the 14th century — the first two spans correspond to those of the old Romanesque cathedral and date back to the 12th century. The nave was only finished during the 15th century by architects Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin and Jean Durand, thanks to the generosity of Charles VII and the Duke of Brittany Jean V.
While building the present cathedral, the nave was then extended westward and the towers surrounding its entrance were erected during the first half of the 16th century, the first tower in 1507 by Pierre de Valence 87 m high, and the second tower during 1534 and 1547 by Pierre Gadier. Highlighting the special feature of the building, called supra, the towers were erected outside of the old city. The late-Roman surrounding wall is visible in cross section at the rear of the towers from the north.
In 1356, the cathedral received its new name of saint Gatien. Its construction having been particularly slow, it presents a complex pattern of French religious types of architecture from the 13th century to the 15th. For example, the tower buttresses are Romanesque, the ornamentation generally is pure Gothic, and the tops of the towers are Renaissance (beginning of the 16th century).

Saint-Malo Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse de Saint-Malo) is a Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to Saint Vincent of Saragossa, and a national monument of France, in Saint-Malo, Brittany.
It was formerly the seat of the Bishop of Saint-Malo. This see was created in 1146 when Jean de Châtillon, Bishop of Aleth, transferred his bishopric to the growing town of Saint-Malo on a more secure site across the river. The monastery of Saint Malo, founded in 1108, became the home of the bishopric and its church the new cathedral, replacing Aleth Cathedral.
It was abolished under the Concordat of 1801 and its territory divided between the dioceses of Rennes, Saint-Brieuc and Vannes.
FRENCH
La cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse de Saint-Malo est une ancienne cathédrale catholique romaine dédiée à saint Vincent de Saragosse, situé à Saint-Malo en Bretagne. Son architecture mélange les styles roman et gothique, et elle est classée monument historique de France1.
Elle a été le siège de l'ancien évêché de Saint-Malo depuis l'année 1146. Ce dernier fut supprimé par le concordat de 1801, et son territoire réparti entre les diocèses de Rennes, de Saint-Brieuc et de Vannes.
L'évêché de Saint-Malo fut créé en 1146, lorsque Jean de Châtillon, évêque d'Aleth depuis 1144, transféra son évêché à Saint-Malo, ville en croissance continue à l'époque, qui constituait en outre un site beaucoup plus sûr. Il fallut attendre 1146 et l'agrément du pape Eugène III, pour que le transfert puisse s'effectuer. Le monastère de Saint-Malo, fondé en 1108, devint la résidence de l'évêque et son église monastique devint cathédrale, remplaçant ainsi la cathédrale Saint-Pierre d'Aleth. Des transformations furent réalisées dont l'édification du chœur, ce qui en fit un monument totalement de style roman.
De cet édifice de style roman du XIIe siècle subsistent la nef, la croisée du transept et une travée des croisillons nord et sud, ainsi qu'une partie du cloître. Le chœur a été reconstruit au XIIIe siècle, la tour commencée au XIIe fut surélevée au XVe, de même que le collatéral sud et trois chapelles du chœur. À la fin du XVIe siècle et au début du XVIIe siècle (entre 1583 et 1607), on reconstruisit le collatéral nord, tandis que le transept nord fut agrandi. L'aile du rosaire au sud fut commencée dans les années 1620. En 1695, les canons de la flotte anglo-hollandaise détruisirent la rosace du chevet, laquelle fut remplacée par trois baies en plein-cintre.
Au XVIIIe siècle, on édifia la chapelle sud, et la tour du clocher fut surélevée. La façade fut reconstruite peu après, en style néoclassique (1772-1773).
Au XIXe siècle, Napoléon III se laissa convaincre par le curé de l'époque de faire coiffer la tour d'une grande flèche ajourée, laquelle fut entourée de quatre clochetons ajourés, construite par Frangeul Père et Fils. (Cette flèche remplaçait un petit dôme d'ardoise).
Au XXe siècle enfin, la cathédrale fut endommagée lors des combats de l'été 1944. La flèche fut pilonée par un destroyer Allemand, croyant qu'elle pourrait servir de repère aux Américains, et elle s'écroula sur la chapelle dite « du Sacré-Cœur ». Les dégâts nécessitèrent une restauration importante qui débuta dès 1944, dirigée par l'architecte Raymond Cornon, et se termina en 1972. La flèche de la cathédrale fut reconstruite en un style plus proche de celui de l'ensemble de l'édifice par l'architecte Prunet et abrite quatre cloches, ce clocher a été vivement contesté par les Malouins à l'époque, et aujourd'hui encore beaucoup de Malouins regrettent l'ancienne flèche.
Suite à la grande restauration de 1944-1972 et aux derniers embellissements, on peut dire que la cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse à Saint-Malo a retrouvé toute sa splendeur.
Une nouvelle grande rosace conçue par Raymond Cornon, a remplacé les trois baies du chevet et restitue le visage de la cathédrale tel qu'il était avant les destructions anglaises de 1695. Jean Le Moal orna de vitraux les fenêtres des bras du transept et du chœur réalisés par Bernard Allain. Les nouveaux vitraux de la nef ont quant à eux été réalisés par Max Ingrand.
Les grandes orgues réalisées par les facteurs Koenig, père et fils, construites en 1977 et inaugurées en 1980. Il est composé de 4 claviers et 1 pédalier et 35 jeux, cet orgue remplace celui de Louis Debierre construit en 1893 de style romantique qui fut détruit en 1944.
Le mobilier du sanctuaire comporte notamment un maître-autel, un siège de présidence et un baptistère en bronze. Ce sont des œuvres d'Arcabas père et fils.
La cathédrale abrite également les restes de l'évêque fondateur Jean de Châtillon, de Jacques Cartier et du corsaire René Duguay-Trouin.
Depuis 2003, elle abrite la statue de la Vierge à l'Enfant dite Notre-Dame de la Grand'Porte. Celle-ci restaurée se trouvait initialement au dessus de la Grand-Porte de Saint-Malo intra-muros où elle pour des raisons de protection et des intempéries remplacée par une copie.

A Catedral de São Vicente de Zaragoza Saint-Malo é um ex-catedral católica romana dedicada a São Vicente de Saragoça, localizado em Saint-Malo, na Bretanha. Sua arquitetura mistura os estilos românico e gótico, e é classificada como um monumento histórico na França 1.
Era o local do bispado ex-St. Malo dos 1146 anos. O último foi suprimido pela Concordata de 1801, e seu território dividido entre as dioceses de Rennes, Saint-Brieuc e Vannes.
O bispado de St. Malo foi criado em 1146, quando Jean de Châtillon, Bispo de Aleth desde 1144, transferiu sua sede em Saint-Malo, o crescimento da cidade continua na época, que era também um local muito mais seguro . Não foi até 1146 ea aprovação do Papa Eugênio III, a transferência pode ter lugar. O mosteiro de Saint-Malo, fundada em 1108, tornou-se a residência do bispo e da igreja monástica tornou-se uma catedral, substituindo a Catedral de St. Pierre Aleth. Transformações foram realizadas com a construção do coro, que fizeram um total de monumentos românicos.
Este edifício românico do século XII, permanecem a nave, o transepto e cintas abrangem o norte eo sul, e parte do claustro. A capela-mor foi reconstruído no século XIII, a torre foi iniciada no décimo segundo ao décimo quinto levantadas, bem como o corredor sul do coro e três capelas. No final do século XVI e início do século XVII (entre 1583 e 1607), que reconstruiu o corredor norte, enquanto o transepto norte foi alargada. A ala sul do Rosário foi iniciada na década de 1620. Em 1695, as armas da frota anglo-holandesa destruiu a rosácea da abside, que foi substituído por três baía semicircular.
No século XVIII, construiu a capela ao sul, ea torre sineira foi levantada. A fachada foi reconstruída logo depois, em estilo neoclássico (1772-1773).
No século XIX, Napoleão III foi persuadido pelo sacerdote do tempo para tampar a torre de uma grande seta perfurado, que foi cercado por quatro torres perfurado, Frangeul construído pelo Pai e Filho. (Esta seta substituiu uma pequena cúpula de ardósia).
Finalmente no século XX, a catedral foi danificada durante o conflito no verão de 1944. A seta foi pilonée um destróier alemão, acreditando que ele poderia servir como uma referência para os americanos, e ela caiu sobre a capela chamada de "Sagrado Coração". O dano exigiu uma grande restauração, que começou em 1944, liderado pelo arquiteto Raymond Cornon, e terminou em 1972. A torre da catedral foi reconstruída em um estilo mais próximo ao de todo o edifício pela Prunet arquiteto e casas quatro sinos, o sino foi fortemente contestada pelo St. Malo na época, e hoje grande parte do Malouins seta velha arrependimento.
Após a grande restauração de 1944-1972 e as últimas melhorias, podemos dizer que a Catedral de São Vicente de Saragoça, em Saint-Malo recuperou toda a sua glória.
Uma janela nova rosa grande desenhado por Raymond Cornon, substituiu os três baías da abside e restaura o rosto da catedral como era antes da destruição da Inglaterra em 1695. Jean Le Moal adornado com vitrais na transeptos e coro conduzido por Bernard Allain. As novas janelas na nave foram entretanto feitas por Max Ingrand.

I passed a sign pointing to Woodbastwick every day for five years once posted to Coltishall, and so commuting between there and Oulton Broad via the back roads and Reedham Ferry.
These days I know Woodbastwick as the home of Woodforde's Brewery, makers of fine ales even available in places as far flung as Kent.
I was in the village mainly to buy some fine bottled ales, but then I knew the church was here is usually open, so what could go wrong?
It being locked, or me being unable to open the door, which amounts to the same thing. I am pretty sure it was locked, despite the sign outside claiming otherwise.
So, over to Simon:
----------------------------------------
Woodbastwick sits on the edge of one of the loveliest parts of Norfolk - but we had come to it in late winter through the grim flat fields and workaday villages to the east of Norwich, so it was doubly a surprise to arrive suddenly at the pretty village green with its thatched well house, and Sir George Gilbert Scott's tower of St Fabian and St Sebastian beyond. All around are pleasing 19th century estate cottages, some with biblical texts on their frontages. And, this being the Broads, the church was open, as they all seem to be around here - a welcome change from Postwick, Little Plumstead and Great Plumstead.
St Fabian and Sebastian is one of Norfolk's three nationally unique dedications (the others are at Bixley and Little Plumstead) and seems to be a 19th century Anglo-catholic affectation, the two Saints have nothing in common other than a shared feast day, Fabian being an early Pope, and Sebastian the martyr whose life was rather colourfully portrayed by the late Derek Jarman.
Woodbastwick was the home of the Cator family, the Anglo-catholic enthusiasts suggested above, and in the 1870s they paid for a massive rebuilding here. There had been a stump of a tower, and the nave had rather attractive stepped gables, which have been retained, as has much of the window tracery. The budget was a massive £5,000, about a million in today's money; by contrast, the 1890s rebuilding of nearby Great Plumstead cost a mere £1,500, and that was after the rampant inflation of the 1880s.
Scott's tower is pretty rather than massive, and the thatched roofs are very attractive in a sort of Olde Englande way.
Inside, even on this dark day, we could see the glimmer and sparkle of the best that the Anglo-catholic movement had to offer. Rather annoyingly, a security light at the back of the church came on every time one of us moved, going off again five seconds later to plunge the nave back into gloom. It is possible to switch it off during your visit, but I had probably better not suggest this as there is a notice telling you that you shouldn't.
Pretty much everything is renewed. The font went to Salhouse (although the lovely churchwarden at Salhouse said I shouldn't mention this, in case they want it back) and virtually all the woodwork was replaced, although the lower part of the screen is the medieval one, and we found a couple of old benches stacked up in the vestry.
Considering the budget, the glass is not great, considering that that in the chancel is by Clayton and Bell, and that in the nave by Lavers, Barraud and Westlake. It may just be that these attempts to replicate small scale 14th century glass are not as fashionable nowadays as thorough-going Victorian style work like the lovely set in the vestry of St Cecilia, the Virgin Mother of God, and St Catherine, probably also by Clayton and Bell. The reredos is better than any of the glass, I think. Best of all in any case is the superb art nouveau war memorial in the nave, one of the best I've seen in Norfolk.
There are some very good 20th century memorials to the Cator family on the north wall of the nave, and generally this is a well-kept, cherished building that is usually open and welcoming. I liked it a lot.

La cathédrale Saint-Gatien de Tours est l'église cathédrale catholique romaine, située à Tours, en Indre-et-Loire. Dédiée Saint-Gatien, elle est le siège du diocèse de Tours et la cathédrale métropolitaine de la province ecclésiastique de Tours.
Elle a été classée monument historique par liste de 1862.
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien a été construite entre 1170 et 1547. Lors de sa création, elle était située presque au débouché du pont franchissant la Loire, sur la route reliant Paris au sud-ouest de la France. Elle fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621.
La première cathédrale Saint-Maurice a été édifiée par Lidoire, évêque de Tours de 337 à 371 et prédécesseur de Martin. Incendiée en 561, elle est restaurée par Grégoire de Tours et dédicacée en 590. Du fait de son emplacement, à l'angle sud-ouest du castrum, et de son orientation à l'est, l'accès se faisait, sinon au travers de l'enceinte tardo-antique, du moins en baïonnette depuis la voie traversant la cité ; une telle configuration est rare2. La cathédrale de Tours est reconstruite au cours du deuxième quart du xiie siècle et est incendiée en 1166 lors des luttes entre Louis VII de France et Henri II d'Angleterre, comte d'Anjou. On ne connaît pas le plan de cet édifice.
La nef et le chœur :
La cathédrale actuelle remplace cet édifice roman. La première campagne a concerné le croisillon sud et les tours, dès 1170. Le chœur est reconstruit de 1236 à 1279 par Étienne de Mortagne. C'est la nef qui a demandé le plus de temps pour son édification. L'architecte Simon du Mans reconstruit le transept et entame la nef, dont six travées, bas-côtés et chapelles sont édifiés au xive siècle — les deux premières travées correspondent à celles de l'ancienne cathédrale romane et remontent au xiie siècle. La nef n'est achevée qu'au xve siècle par les architectes Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin et Jean Durand, grâce aux libéralités accordées par Charles VII et le duc de Bretagne Jean V. À l'occasion de l'édification du bâtiment actuel, la nef a donc été allongée vers l'ouest et les tours encadrant l'entrée sont élevées en dehors de l'ancienne cité, accentuant la particularité de l'édifice mentionnée supra ; l'enceinte tardo-antique est visible en coupe à l'arrière des tours depuis le nord. En 1356, la cathédrale reçoit le nouveau vocable de Gatien.
La façade a perdu les grandes statues des piédroits, détruites par les protestants au cours des guerres de Religion. Mais elle demeure une des plus extraordinaires créations du gothique flamboyant dans ce qu'il a de plus éxubérant, véritable dentelle de pierre sans guère d'équivalent, chef-d'œuvre décoratif de premier plan. Les tours sont élevées dans la première moitié du xvie siècle : la tour nord a été édifiée en 1507 par Pierre de Valence, et la tour sud entre 1534 et 1547 par Pierre Gadier.

La catedral San Gaciano de Tours, también llamada Catedral de Tours es la iglesia catedral de la diócesis de Tours y la catedral metropolitana de la provincia eclesiástica de Tours. Fue construida entre 1170 y 1547. Estaba situada durante su creación casi a la salida del puente que cruza el Loira, sobre la ruta que une París con el suroeste de Francia.
Historia:
La primera catedral de San Mauricio fue edificada por Lidoire, obispo de Tours del 337 al 371 y predecesor de Martín de Tours. Incendiada en el 561, fue restaurada por Gregorio de Tours y dedicada en el 590.
Su situación, en el ángulo suroeste del castrum, hace que la orientación al este haya hecho que el acceso se haga, sino a través de la muralla tardo-antigua, desde la vía que atraviesa la ciudad. Tal configuración es poco común. No se conoce el plano de este edificio.

Saint Gatien's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral church of the Tours diocese and the metropolitan cathedral of the Tours ecclesiastic province, in Indre-et-Loire, France. Saint-Gatien's Cathedral was built between 1170 and 1547. At the time construction began, it was located at the south end of the bridge over the Loire, on the road from Paris to the south-west of France. It has been a classified Monument historique since 1862.
The first cathedral of Saint-Maurice was built by Lidoire, bishop of Tours from 337 to 371 (preceding St Martin). Burnt in 561, it was restored by Gregory of Tours and rededicated in 590. Its location, at the south-west angle of the castrum, as well as its eastern orientation, resulted in the original access being through the late-Roman surrounding wall (such a configuration is quite rare).
The cathedral was then rebuilt during the second quarter of the 12th century and again burnt in 1166 during the conflict between Louis VII of France and Henry II of England (also count of Anjou, the neighboring region).
The present cathedral replaces the 13th century Romanesque building. The first phase concerned the south transept and the towers, as early as 1170. The chancel was rebuilt from 1236 to 1279 by Étienne de Mortagne but the nave took much longer to build. The architect Simon du Mans rebuilt the transept and started the nave, including six spans, aisle and chapel, built during the 14th century — the first two spans correspond to those of the old Romanesque cathedral and date back to the 12th century. The nave was only finished during the 15th century by architects Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin and Jean Durand, thanks to the generosity of Charles VII and the Duke of Brittany Jean V.
While building the present cathedral, the nave was then extended westward and the towers surrounding its entrance were erected during the first half of the 16th century, the first tower in 1507 by Pierre de Valence 87 m high, and the second tower during 1534 and 1547 by Pierre Gadier. Highlighting the special feature of the building, called supra, the towers were erected outside of the old city. The late-Roman surrounding wall is visible in cross section at the rear of the towers from the north.
In 1356, the cathedral received its new name of saint Gatien. Its construction having been particularly slow, it presents a complex pattern of French religious types of architecture from the 13th century to the 15th. For example, the tower buttresses are Romanesque, the ornamentation generally is pure Gothic, and the tops of the towers are Renaissance (beginning of the 16th century).

Un "tutto" è diverso dalla somma delle parti: la mente legge la trasparenza e vede sovrapposizioni tra le linee, ma esistono i rombi e fasce colorate; non c'è un giusto o un sbagliato, esistono e basta, in contemporanea. Il giudizio è una sovrastruttura umana dettata dall'opportunità, una struttura mentale che ci costringe a vedere la realtà solo come qualcosa da pianificare, calcolare e accumulare. Se l'uomo guarda le cose basando il suo giudizio sulla possibile o impossibile proprietà di queste, è perché l'uomo, cercando di abitare il mondo, spesso finisce per volerlo possedere. Cadendo in questo, finisce per vedere le cose non più per quello che servono, ma solo perché siano disponibili: non è più rilevante il valore d'uso, ma l'incremento della capacità di controllo.
Ma i significati non sono nelle cose in sé, ma in come il mondo viene interpretato in una circolarità ermeneutica. In questo senso anche noi siamo "progetto", artefici del nostro esistere, perché siamo nel mondo in maniera trascendente. Siamo noi nell'aldilà: Ex-sistere; non in una progettualità creata da altri, ma pienamente nella dimensione della progettualità di sé.
In questo, la salvezza non è un dono collettivo, ma un'auto-edificazione. Chi utilizza la creatività come forma di salvezza per mostrare la Via, deve mostrare come i colori e le forme si fondono, provando linguaggi nuovi per staccarsi dalla retorica. Bisogna lasciar decidere autonomamente al fruitore se guardare la linea che corre o il rombo che nasce: chi ha occhi per vedere, vedrà.
A "whole" is different from the sum of its parts: the mind reads transparency and sees overlapping lines, yet rhombuses and colored bands exist; there is no right or wrong, they simply exist simultaneously. Judgment is a human superstructure dictated by opportunity, a mental framework that forces us to see reality only as something to be planned, calculated, and accumulated. If man looks at things based on their possible or impossible ownership, it is because in trying to inhabit the world, he often ends up wanting to possess it. Falling into this, he no longer sees things for their use, but only for their availability: utility is no longer relevant, only the increase of the capacity for control.
But meanings are not in things themselves, but in how the world is interpreted in a hermeneutic circularity. In this sense, we too are "projects," architects of our own existence, because we are in the world in a transcendent way. We are in the "beyond": Ex-sistere; not in a project created by others, but fully within the dimension of the project of the self.
In this, salvation is not a collective gift, but self-edification. Those who use creativity as a form of salvation to show the Way must demonstrate how colors and shapes merge, testing new languages to break away from rhetoric. One must let the viewer decide autonomously whether to look at the running line or the emerging rhombus: those who have eyes to see, will see.
YOUGHAL ABBEY
(Ambrose Coleman, O.P.)
Founded under the title of the Holy Cross, in 1268, by Thomas Fitzmaurice, Justiciary of Ireland and grandson of the founder of Tralee abbey. The founder was buried here in 1298. In 1281 and 1304, provincial chapters were held here.
1493. This abbey accepted the reform to Regular Observance, and in 1509, the community was formed, with those of Cork, Limerick and Coleraine, into a “Congregation of Regular Observance."
1543. June 8. Grant to William Walshe, of Youghal, of the House of the Friars Preachers Observants, to hold for ever. This Walshe was again given the lease of the abbey by Edward VI., on November 25, 1550.
In the reign of Queen Mary, the prior, Robert Gogan, bore a letter from the Earl of Desmond to the Queen, in 1557, petitioning for the restoration of the Cork convent. In a petition presented at the same time by himself, he refers to the abbey at Youghal as having lately been repaired and of the community as leading a life of Regular Observance.
1565. Card. Moran in the Irish Eccles. Record July, 1866, refers to a chapter of the Dominicans being held secretly in Youghal this year, and of a Father Higgins, O.P., bishop-elect of Raphoe, losing his life on his way to it while crossing a river.
1581. April 28. The abbey, with six gardens within the liberties of Youghal (tithes excepted), was granted for ever, in capite, to William Walsh, at the yearly rent of twenty-two pence. They were then granted to a John Thickpenny, a soldier, in 1584.
1587. Oct. 16. Grant to Sir Walter Raleigh ... of the late priory of Observant Friars, or Black Friars, near Youghal, in the occupation of the widow Thickpenny.
The abbey was destroyed the same year. However, those who were employed in the work of demolition are recorded to have met with terrible punishment. One fell from the roof of the church and was killed, and three soldiers, who threw down the cross from the top of the abbey, also came to a sad end, for one died insane within a week, another was eaten alive by rats, and the third was killed by the seneschal of the earl of Desmond.
The miraculous statue of Our Lady of Graces, now preserved in St. Mary's of Cork, belonged to this abbey, and from the Provincial's records in the early part of the seventeenth century, we find that it was greatly venerated in Youghal at this period. The Protestants made numerous attempts to seize on it, but it was successfully kept hidden from them. It is a carving in ivory about three inches long, much worn and discoloured by time. The silver case which encloses it has the following inscription.—Orate pro anima Onorice Filice Jacobi de Geraldinis quos me fieri fecit. Anno Domini, 1617.
The Dominicans do not appear from the Provincial's records to have been in Youghal, either in 1622 or in 1629. However, they must have returned shortly after, as a Father James Hurley was prior in 1638. One of the acts of the general chapter of 1638 decreed that all the offerings which are made to the statue of Our Blessed Lady of Youghal are to be applied to use of the Youghal community and not disposed of otherwise by the Provincial, as heretofore.
In 1756, there were three fathers in Youghal, but only one in 1767. The last name connected with Youghal in the obits is that of Father James Cunningham, who died between 1785 and 1789.
THE FRIARS OF YOUGHAL
(John O’Heyne, O.P.)
There is in the same county, at Youghal, in Irish Iodha-choill, a Dominican abbey, founded by the nobleman, Thomas FitzMaurice Fitzgerald. In this house the miraculous statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary has been preserved, which I heard was left at the time of the late exile in the hands of Sir John Hore, a Catholic living in that district. Of the members of this community a few occur to my mind, of whom the first is: —
Father Dominic O'Ronan, who studied at Louvain, where he took charge of the novices, to the great benefit of the noviciate and his own credit, from 1654 to 1664. He then went home and passed the rest of his life in Youghal and in the surrounding district for many years, giving great edification to the people, and serving God and his Order with fidelity. He was very humble, meek, and given to constant prayer.
Father Raymund O’Fahy, a very amiable religious, who studied well at Vittoria and preached very well at home, is living in Spain.
Father James O'Heaney studied in Spain, and was an excellent young man, but I do not know whether he is still living.

Saint-Malo Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse de Saint-Malo) is a Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to Saint Vincent of Saragossa, and a national monument of France, in Saint-Malo, Brittany.
It was formerly the seat of the Bishop of Saint-Malo. This see was created in 1146 when Jean de Châtillon, Bishop of Aleth, transferred his bishopric to the growing town of Saint-Malo on a more secure site across the river. The monastery of Saint Malo, founded in 1108, became the home of the bishopric and its church the new cathedral, replacing Aleth Cathedral.
It was abolished under the Concordat of 1801 and its territory divided between the dioceses of Rennes, Saint-Brieuc and Vannes.
FRENCH
La cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse de Saint-Malo est une ancienne cathédrale catholique romaine dédiée à saint Vincent de Saragosse, situé à Saint-Malo en Bretagne. Son architecture mélange les styles roman et gothique, et elle est classée monument historique de France1.
Elle a été le siège de l'ancien évêché de Saint-Malo depuis l'année 1146. Ce dernier fut supprimé par le concordat de 1801, et son territoire réparti entre les diocèses de Rennes, de Saint-Brieuc et de Vannes.
L'évêché de Saint-Malo fut créé en 1146, lorsque Jean de Châtillon, évêque d'Aleth depuis 1144, transféra son évêché à Saint-Malo, ville en croissance continue à l'époque, qui constituait en outre un site beaucoup plus sûr. Il fallut attendre 1146 et l'agrément du pape Eugène III, pour que le transfert puisse s'effectuer. Le monastère de Saint-Malo, fondé en 1108, devint la résidence de l'évêque et son église monastique devint cathédrale, remplaçant ainsi la cathédrale Saint-Pierre d'Aleth. Des transformations furent réalisées dont l'édification du chœur, ce qui en fit un monument totalement de style roman.
De cet édifice de style roman du XIIe siècle subsistent la nef, la croisée du transept et une travée des croisillons nord et sud, ainsi qu'une partie du cloître. Le chœur a été reconstruit au XIIIe siècle, la tour commencée au XIIe fut surélevée au XVe, de même que le collatéral sud et trois chapelles du chœur. À la fin du XVIe siècle et au début du XVIIe siècle (entre 1583 et 1607), on reconstruisit le collatéral nord, tandis que le transept nord fut agrandi. L'aile du rosaire au sud fut commencée dans les années 1620. En 1695, les canons de la flotte anglo-hollandaise détruisirent la rosace du chevet, laquelle fut remplacée par trois baies en plein-cintre.
Au XVIIIe siècle, on édifia la chapelle sud, et la tour du clocher fut surélevée. La façade fut reconstruite peu après, en style néoclassique (1772-1773).
Au XIXe siècle, Napoléon III se laissa convaincre par le curé de l'époque de faire coiffer la tour d'une grande flèche ajourée, laquelle fut entourée de quatre clochetons ajourés, construite par Frangeul Père et Fils. (Cette flèche remplaçait un petit dôme d'ardoise).
Au XXe siècle enfin, la cathédrale fut endommagée lors des combats de l'été 1944. La flèche fut pilonée par un destroyer Allemand, croyant qu'elle pourrait servir de repère aux Américains, et elle s'écroula sur la chapelle dite « du Sacré-Cœur ». Les dégâts nécessitèrent une restauration importante qui débuta dès 1944, dirigée par l'architecte Raymond Cornon, et se termina en 1972. La flèche de la cathédrale fut reconstruite en un style plus proche de celui de l'ensemble de l'édifice par l'architecte Prunet et abrite quatre cloches, ce clocher a été vivement contesté par les Malouins à l'époque, et aujourd'hui encore beaucoup de Malouins regrettent l'ancienne flèche.
Suite à la grande restauration de 1944-1972 et aux derniers embellissements, on peut dire que la cathédrale Saint-Vincent-de-Saragosse à Saint-Malo a retrouvé toute sa splendeur.
Une nouvelle grande rosace conçue par Raymond Cornon, a remplacé les trois baies du chevet et restitue le visage de la cathédrale tel qu'il était avant les destructions anglaises de 1695. Jean Le Moal orna de vitraux les fenêtres des bras du transept et du chœur réalisés par Bernard Allain. Les nouveaux vitraux de la nef ont quant à eux été réalisés par Max Ingrand.
Les grandes orgues réalisées par les facteurs Koenig, père et fils, construites en 1977 et inaugurées en 1980. Il est composé de 4 claviers et 1 pédalier et 35 jeux, cet orgue remplace celui de Louis Debierre construit en 1893 de style romantique qui fut détruit en 1944.
Le mobilier du sanctuaire comporte notamment un maître-autel, un siège de présidence et un baptistère en bronze. Ce sont des œuvres d'Arcabas père et fils.
La cathédrale abrite également les restes de l'évêque fondateur Jean de Châtillon, de Jacques Cartier et du corsaire René Duguay-Trouin.
Depuis 2003, elle abrite la statue de la Vierge à l'Enfant dite Notre-Dame de la Grand'Porte. Celle-ci restaurée se trouvait initialement au dessus de la Grand-Porte de Saint-Malo intra-muros où elle pour des raisons de protection et des intempéries remplacée par une copie.

A Catedral de São Vicente de Zaragoza Saint-Malo é um ex-catedral católica romana dedicada a São Vicente de Saragoça, localizado em Saint-Malo, na Bretanha. Sua arquitetura mistura os estilos românico e gótico, e é classificada como um monumento histórico na França 1.
Era o local do bispado ex-St. Malo dos 1146 anos. O último foi suprimido pela Concordata de 1801, e seu território dividido entre as dioceses de Rennes, Saint-Brieuc e Vannes.
O bispado de St. Malo foi criado em 1146, quando Jean de Châtillon, Bispo de Aleth desde 1144, transferiu sua sede em Saint-Malo, o crescimento da cidade continua na época, que era também um local muito mais seguro . Não foi até 1146 ea aprovação do Papa Eugênio III, a transferência pode ter lugar. O mosteiro de Saint-Malo, fundada em 1108, tornou-se a residência do bispo e da igreja monástica tornou-se uma catedral, substituindo a Catedral de St. Pierre Aleth. Transformações foram realizadas com a construção do coro, que fizeram um total de monumentos românicos.
Este edifício românico do século XII, permanecem a nave, o transepto e cintas abrangem o norte eo sul, e parte do claustro. A capela-mor foi reconstruído no século XIII, a torre foi iniciada no décimo segundo ao décimo quinto levantadas, bem como o corredor sul do coro e três capelas. No final do século XVI e início do século XVII (entre 1583 e 1607), que reconstruiu o corredor norte, enquanto o transepto norte foi alargada. A ala sul do Rosário foi iniciada na década de 1620. Em 1695, as armas da frota anglo-holandesa destruiu a rosácea da abside, que foi substituído por três baía semicircular.
No século XVIII, construiu a capela ao sul, ea torre sineira foi levantada. A fachada foi reconstruída logo depois, em estilo neoclássico (1772-1773).
No século XIX, Napoleão III foi persuadido pelo sacerdote do tempo para tampar a torre de uma grande seta perfurado, que foi cercado por quatro torres perfurado, Frangeul construído pelo Pai e Filho. (Esta seta substituiu uma pequena cúpula de ardósia).
Finalmente no século XX, a catedral foi danificada durante o conflito no verão de 1944. A seta foi pilonée um destróier alemão, acreditando que ele poderia servir como uma referência para os americanos, e ela caiu sobre a capela chamada de "Sagrado Coração". O dano exigiu uma grande restauração, que começou em 1944, liderado pelo arquiteto Raymond Cornon, e terminou em 1972. A torre da catedral foi reconstruída em um estilo mais próximo ao de todo o edifício pela Prunet arquiteto e casas quatro sinos, o sino foi fortemente contestada pelo St. Malo na época, e hoje grande parte do Malouins seta velha arrependimento.
Após a grande restauração de 1944-1972 e as últimas melhorias, podemos dizer que a Catedral de São Vicente de Saragoça, em Saint-Malo recuperou toda a sua glória.
Uma janela nova rosa grande desenhado por Raymond Cornon, substituiu os três baías da abside e restaura o rosto da catedral como era antes da destruição da Inglaterra em 1695. Jean Le Moal adornado com vitrais na transeptos e coro conduzido por Bernard Allain. As novas janelas na nave foram entretanto feitas por Max Ingrand.
O grande órgão feito por fatores Koenig, pai e filho, construído em 1977 e inaugurado em 1980. Tem 4 teclados e um pedal e 35 jogos, este órgão substitui o Debierre Louis construída em 1893 em estilo romântico, que foi destruída em 1944.
A mobília do santuário deve incluir um altar, um assento de cadeira e um batistério bronze. Estas são obras de Arcabas pai e filho.
A catedral também abriga os restos mortais do fundador Jean Bispo de Chatillon, Jacques Cartier e corsário René Duguay-Trouin.
Desde 2003, abriga a estátua da Virgem com o Menino conhecida como Nossa Senhora de Porte do Grand '. Ele foi inicialmente restaurados pela Grande Porte de Saint-Malo intra muros, onde por razões de protecção dos elementos e substituído por uma cópia.

History of the parish
1187, Wolkersdorf was for the first time as "Wolfkersdorf" in a deed of donatio by Manhard and Ulrich von Hintperch (= Himberg) mentioned. The parish Wolkersdorf appears in 1328 for the first time as a manorial establishment. The parish has always been limited to the local area. Over the centuries, the residents of the parish brought it through diligence and thrift to a modest prosperity. As to infestations, natural disasters and two plague epidemics are mentioned. The parish, located in the eastern border area of Austria, in times of war through occupation and looting had to suffer much. Mention should be made in this respect of the Turkish threat, the incursion of the Swedes during the 30 Years War, the plundering by the French under Napoleon as well as the Prussian army, which had advanced after the defeat of Austria in Hradec Králové in 1866 to the Rußbach (brook); finally the difficult time of the Soviet occupation after the Second World War should be mentioned. By order of the Lower Austrian Provincial Government of 14th November 1968 Wolkersdorf was conferred upon it the town charter. By the archbishop of Vienna the deanery Pillichsdorf on 1st January 1996 was renamed into the deanery Wolkersdorf. The parish has about 3,000 Catholics.
Parish Church
The parish church was built by Stephan von Slaet 1341-1350 and dedicated to Saint Margaret. This small gothic church (9.40 m long, 5.45 m wide, about 9 m high) is the presbytery for the today's parish church. 1727 Emperor Charles VI. the house of God by the Baroque nave had to its present size expanded (21.8 m long, 9.9 m wide, 12.5 m high). Despite the uniform external facade design, the two phases of construction are still recognizable, the Gothic presbytery and the Baroque ship. In 1754 Empress Maria Theresa the tower had built (37 m high).
Interior equipment: When you enter the church through the main gate under the tower, you are received by a bright, in cheerful colors decorated space. In the vertex of the presbytery wall the mighty Habsburg imperial eagle can be seen. The heart shield of the double eagle is surrounded by the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece and bears the monogram Emperor Charles VI . - CVI. In the claws the eagle holds sword and scepter, while a banner the motto of the Emperor and the year of the expansion of the church shows: "Constantia et Fortitudine" (with steadiness and fortitude) 1727.
The Baroque high altar was built in 1768 in imitation marble. The structure has over the tabernacle yet a Drehtabernakel (revolving tabernacle) for exposure of the Blessed Sacrament. Above it forms a plastic, the apocalyptic Lamb of God representing, flanked by two adoring angels, the conclusion. The retabel structure fits organically into the Gothic choir. Right of the altar is on a high pedestal saint Rochus represented, on the left, in the same way the holy Sebastian. In the middle part is behind the high altar in a picture larger than life the church patron, saint Margaretha represented (the painting is signed "FB 1832" - painter unknown). The saint stands upright and holds in her left hand a cross against the dragon (symbolizing the temptation to apostasy), while Schwurhand (oath hand) and look to our Heavenly Father are elevated, which appears above her. In the right wall of the presbytery there are seating niches with small ribbed vaults in the Gothic style (around 1350) with the coat of arms of the Counts of Nuremberg worked off.
On the side altars are two late Baroque wood-carved figures (1760), saint Joseph and the most blessed Virgin Mary, erected. The pulpit in the Rococo style dates back to 1770. The Stations of the Cross - by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum 1968 of basswood carved - are attached to the side walls of the nave. The organ was built in 1897 by the Viennese organ builder Johann M. Kauffmann as a mechanical cone chests organ with 16 registers.
From the church square the church staircase on a bridge (flying buttress) above the Mittelstraße (central road) leads to the parish church. In 1727, this staircase was decorated with six life-sized Baroque stone sculptures. This is probably an expression of gratitude for the successful baroque church reconstruction under Emperor Charles VI. Initiator of the edification of the saints was the then minister Christoph Leopold Edler von Guarient and Raall. The work was financed by donations from the guilds and by donations from individual citizens.
On the right side of the ascent there are statues
of saint Charles Borromeo, who was regarded as the patron saint against the plague.
of saint John of Nepomuk, who as a "bridge saint" was very revered among the people, and above
of st. Florian, who was popular as a patron of the fire and the forge.
On the left side there are the statues
of st. Joseph, who was called on as a patron for a good hour of death, and as a protector against an unprepared, sudden death,
the Mother of God as immaculately received Virgin who crushes the serpent's head, and above
of saint Leopold, the country's (Lower Austria) patron saint, who is represented as founder of churches and monasteries (church on the right arm).
Vicarage
The vicarage was built around 1727. The building with a Gothic core in 1797 was increased and adapted as parsonage. During the March battles against Napoleon, Emperor Franz I had from 16th May to 6th July 1809 here his headquarters installed. In 1997, the exterior facade was renovated.
Parish centre
By 1970 the parish center was built as a meeting place. Inside is an auditorium and seminar rooms which are used by the parochial groups. The parish center was built from 1971 to 1973 under Pastor Karl Ponweiser as a meeting place. The house is intended for cultural and pastoral events. It is used by all parish groups and for individual events (eg lectures, concerts, theatrical performances, balls) also leased.
Lourdes Chapel
At the point where yet in 1783 a cross was erected "to the glory of God and the consolation of the poor souls", the chapel was built in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes in 1890. 1909 this church was enlarged in the neo-Gothic-Romanesque style, so this first chapel is forming the presbytery for the present chapel.
In the curvature of the chancel 1971 a by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum of basswood carved statue of Mary (1.3 m high) was erected. The statue is carved in the style of "lovely Madonnas" of the Gothic. The Mother of God carries in her right arm the Infant Jesus and in her left hand she holds a bunch of grapes, and she is therefore worshiped as "Wine-Producing Country Madonna", too.

Down the hill from Challock and Kings Wood, sitting on the junction of two ancient high roads, but now split in half by the A20, Charing is delightful.
It is nine years perhaps since I was last here. I took two shots outside, and four inside.
How could I have been so blind?
Charing is a tangle of narrow lanes and timber framed houses, with the church at the end of a narrow lane which ends in what used to be the market place. To the north of the square sits what used to be the Bishop's Palace, still an impressive collection of buildings, although now a private dwelling and a farm.
I found the church open, and was first struck by its fine decoration and impressive size.
------------------------------------------
A large church beautifully positioned next to the remains of the medieval Archbishop's Palace just off the High Street. The west tower was built in the late fifteenth century. During its construction the body of the church was destroyed in an accidental fire - started by a man shooting at pigeons on the roof. The replacement roofs are clearly dated on the tie-beams as 1592 and 1620. A fine early seventeenth-century pulpit and nice collection of eighteenth-century tablets add much to the character of the building. The south nave window is a very strange shape, basically square, with four lights of equal height surmounted by a net of elaborate triangles, quatrefoils and, unusually, an octofoil! It is of fourteenth-century date.

CHARING
IS the adjoining parish to Westwell north-westward. It is written in Domesday, Cheringes, and in other antient records, Cerringes and Cherring.
It lies partly below and partly above the upper range of chalk hills, where there is much woodland. It is a healthy, though not a very pleasant situation, from the nature of the soils in it, all which are but poor; about the town or village, and to the summit of the hill it is chalky; above the hill a red cludgy earth covered with slints, and below the town mostly a sand. At the western boundary, next to Lenham, is Charing heath; it is watered by several small streamlets, which rising near the foot of the hills, direct their course southward into the Stour, which runs towards Ashford just below the boundary of it. The village, or town of Charing, as it is more usually called, stands at the foot of the hill, called from it Charing-hill, over which the high road leads through it from Faversham, through Smarden and Biddenden, and thence to Cranbrooke and Tenterden in the Weald. The high road likewise from Ashford, since the new turnpike has been completed, is made by new cuts to pass through this town and Lenham, instead of its former more southern circuit by Chilson park and Sandway towards Maidstone, shortening its distance considerably. Notwithstanding these roads, there is no great matter of traffic through it, the town is unpaved, and has a clean countryfied look, there is a good house in it, formerly belonging to the Poole's, whose arms were, Azure, a lion rampant, argent, semee, of fleur de lis, or. Afterwards to Dr. Ludwell, who bore for his arms, Gules, on a bend, argent, three eagles, azure, between two castles of the second; and then to the Carter's, one of whom sold it to George Norwood, esq. who resides in it. Not far from it is an antient mansion, which has been modernized formerly, called Peirce-house, now belonging to Mr. James Wakeley, who resides in it; at a small distance from the street eastward is the ruinated palace, the church and the vicarage, a pleasant habitable dwelling.
There are large ruins of the archiepiscopal palace still remaining; the antient great gateway to it is now standing, and much of the sides of the court within it, on the east side of which seems to have been the dining-room, the walls of which remain, and it is converted into a barn. On the opposite side to this are many of the offices, now made into stables. Fronting the great gateway above-mentioned, seems to have been the entrance into the palace itself, part of which, on the east side, is fitted up as a dwelling-house, at the back of which, northward, are the remains of the chapel, the walls of which are standing entire, being built of squared stone, mixed with slints; on the side wall of it are three windows, with pointed arches, and at the east end a much larger one, of the same form. Sir Nicholas Gilborne, hereafter mentioned, as having resided here in king James I.'s reign, was son of William Gilborne, esq. of London, who lies buried in St. Catherine's Creechurch, London, descended from the Gilbornes, of Ereswike, in Yorkshire, and bore for their arms, Azure, on a chevron, or, three roses gules, within a bordure of the second. (fn. 1) Sir Nicholas had two sons and several daughters; one of whom, Anne, married Charles Wheler, esq. of Tottenham, grandfather of Sir George Wheler, D. D. and prebendary of Durham, the purchaser afterwards of this manor and palace, as will be further mentioned.
The two sairs which were granted in the 21st year of king Henry VI. are now held on April 29, and October 29, for horses, cattle, and pedlary.
The parish has in it the boroughs of Town, Sandpit, East Lenham, part of Field, and Acton.
Several of our antiquaries have supposed the Roman station, mentioned in the 2d iter of Antonine by the name of Durolevum, corruptly for Durolenum, to have been in this neighbourhood; and Dr. Plot mentions his discovery of a Roman way, which seemed to have passed the Medway at Teston, and crossing Cocksheath, pointed towards Lenham hither. Most of those who have contended for this station having been hereabouts, have fixed it at Lenham. Only two of them, Mr. Talbot and Dr. Stukeley, after much hesitation, where to place it, were for its having been here at Charing; the latter founded his opinion on the Roman antiquities, which he says, have been found all about here, which Horsley accounts for, from a supposition of this having been only a notilia way, and indeed there is but little, if any, foundation for any supposition that the station above-mentioned was here at Charing; that it was a notitia way, there is great reason to suppose, as has been already mentioned before, in the description of Lenham, to which may be added, that there is in this parish, about a mile S. S. W. from the town a hamlet called Stone-street, a name, which is a certain indication of its note in former times.
Mr. Jacob, in his Plantœ Favershamienses, has taken notice of several scarce plants in this parish, to which account the reader is referred from them.
There was a family who took their name from this parish, one of whom, Adam de Cherringes, was excommunicated by archbishop Becket, and, as it should seem, to blot out the heinousness of this offence, afterwards, in the time of archbishop Baldwin, the next successor but one to Becket, founded an hospital for leprous persons, at Romney, in honour of St. Stephen and St. Thomas Becket.
Anno 26 Edward I. the king granted licence to shut up a high road leading from Charing to Ashford.
¶The vulgar tradition, that Charing cross, in Westminster, was so called from a cross, which once stood on the summit of the hill here, which being taken from hence, was carried and set up there, is entirely without foundation; for the cross, which stood where the figure of king Charles on horseback now is at Charing-cross, in the centre of the three highways, as was then usual, was made and erected there in the year 1292, anno 21 Edward I. in that village which long before had been called Cheringes, and Charing, but which afterwards was universally called, from thence, Charing-cross. (fn. 2)
CHARING is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of its own name, and is exempt from the jurisdiction of the archdeacon.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is a handsome building, consisting of one isle and a transept, a high chancel and one small one on the south side of it. The tower, having a small beacon turret at one corner, is at the west end. There is only one bell in it. This tower was begun to be built of stone (for it was before of wood) at the latter end of king Edward IV.'s reign, as appears by the several legacies to the rebuilding of it, in the wills in the Prerogative-office, Canterbury, from 1479 to 1545, about which time only it seems to have been finished. On the stonework at the outside of it, are the arms of Brent, and a coat, being a star of many points, still remaining. In the year 1590 this church was consumed by fire, to the very stones of the building, which happened from a gun discharged at a pidgeon, then upon the roof of it; by which the windows and gravestones of the family of Brent were desaced. John Brent, sen. of Charing, in 1501, was buried in this church, before the door of the new chapel of the blessed Virgin Mary, where no burial had as yet been; and Amy Brent, of Charing, gentlewoman, by will in 1516, was buried within that chapel of her own edification. This chapel, now called Wickins chancel, was much defaced by the fire as above-mentioned. In the south cross was Burleigh chantry, mentioned before, which being burnt down in 1590, was repaired by John Darell, esq. of Calehill, then proprietor of it, whose arms are on the pews of it, as mentioned below. In king Richard II.'s time, the block on which St. John the Baptist was said to have been beheaded, was brought into England, and kept in this church. In the high chancel is a memorial for Samuel Belcher, gent. of Charing, obt. 1756, æt. 6l. and for his two wives. In the little chancel, now called Wickins chancel, are memorials for the Nethersoles and Derings; in the middle isle, for Peirce, Henman, and Ludwell; in the north cross monuments for Sir Robert Honywood, of Pett, and the Sayer family; in the south cross, memorials for Mushey Teale, M.D. in 1760, and for Mary his wife; his arms, Azure, a cockatrice regardant, sable; in chief, three martlets of the second. The pews in it are of oak, and much ornamented at their ends next the space with carvework, among which are these arms, a coat quarterly, first and sourth, A lion rampant, crowned; second, A fess indented, in chief, three mullets; third, Three bugle-horns stringed, impaling a fess, between three cross-croslets, fitchee. Another, Three bugle-horns stringed. Another, A lion rampant, crowned, or. Another, the crest of a Saracen's head, 1598.
The church of Charing was antiently appendant to the manor, and was part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, to which it was appropriated before the 8th year of king Richard II. and it remained with it till archbishop Cranmer, anno 37 Henry VIII. granted that manor, and all his estates within this parish, and the advowsons of this rectory and vicarage, to the king; (fn. 10) and these advowsons remained in the crown till Edward VI. granted them, together with the advowson of the chapel of Egerton, and other premises in Essex, in exchange, in his first year, to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London. In which state they continue at this time, the dean and chapter of St. Paul's being now proprietors of this rectory appropriate, together with the advowson of the vicarage of this church.
¶King Henry VIII. in his 38th year, demised this rectory, and the chapel of Egerton, to Leonard Hetherington, gent. for twenty-one years, and the lease of it continued in his descendants till one of them sold his interest in it, in king James I.'s reign. to John Dering, esq. of Egerton, but by some means, long before his death in 1618, it had passed into the possession of Edward, lord Wotton. How long it continued in his family I have not found; but it afterwards was demised to the family of Barrell, of Rochester, with whom the demise of it remained for many years; and in one of their delcendants it remained down to the Rev. Edmund Marthall, vicar of this parish, who died in 1797, possessed of the lease of it.
This vicarage is valued in the king's books at thirteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 6s. and is now of the clear yearly certified value of seventy-two pounds. In 1588 it was valued at fifty pounds. Communicants three hundred and twenty-six. In 1640, at eighty pounds. Communicants three hundred and seventy; and in 1700 it was valued at one hundred and ten pounds.
In 1535 this church was accounted a sinecure, which accounts for its having been formerly called a prebend.
medievalpoc: medievalpoc: While Murray assumes considerable real estate in the foreground of the painting, there is great care in the representation of Belle. She is not darkened nor obscured, her gaze is fixed and direct; she is smiling and is dressed as an aristocrat. The portrait is exceptional for these reasons. Other images of the period present a black identity negatively and these images exist in great abundance. And what we learn from looking back at these images is telling: the white European perception of our bodies, our beauty rendered in such monstrous ways to the edification of whiteness is the tool of white supremacy. We are very much still negotiating the impact of seeing images that erase and obscure black beauty and humanity today. Our blended histories have yet to be accurately represented in popular consciousness, so every old story uncovered becomes a new retelling and a demand that we examine some painful truths about our past and how it shapes our present. -Syreeta McFadden, “Belle Navigates Blurred Lines Between Race, Gender, and Class in 18th Century Britain” (feministing.com) Medievalpoc posts tagged “Dido Elizabeth Belle” Someone recently asked me about the first thing I saw or read that seeded the idea for medievalpoc. This portrait of Dido Elizabeth Belle was included in a presentation for Honors Interdisciplinary History of Western Civ (part 2 i think), a nine-credit course in a program I was in back in college, years ago. And even being a part of something that intensive (the full program had 24 req’d credits of JUST interdisciplinary history), I’m pretty sure this was the only painting of its kind I saw. Making these images more accessible to educators and students (in or outside of institutions!) is one of the main goals of this project, because I know from experience that sometimes art can inspire us in ways we never expected or imagined.
Le château de Chambord est un château français situé dans la commune de Chambord.
Construit au cœur du plus grand parc forestier clos d’Europe (environ 50 km2 ceint par un mur de 32 km de long), il s'agit du plus vaste des châteaux de la Loire. Il bénéficie d'un jardin d'agrément et d'un parc de chasse.
Le site a d'abord accueilli une motte féodale, ainsi que l'ancien château des comtes de Blois. L'origine du château actuel remonte au XVIe siècle et au règne du roi de France François Ier qui supervise son édification à partir de 1519.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Château_de_Chambord
The royal Château de Chambord at Chambord is one of the most recognizable châteaux in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures. The building, which was never completed, was constructed by King Francis I of France.
Chambord is the largest château in the Loire Valley; it was built to serve as a hunting lodge for Francis I, who maintained his royal residences at the châteaux of Blois and Amboise.

Sir Nicholas Gilborne, hereafter mentioned, as having resided here in king James I.'s reign, was son of William Gilborne, esq. of London, who lies buried in St. Catherine's Creechurch, London, descended from the Gilbornes, of Ereswike, in Yorkshire, and bore for their arms, Azure, on a chevron, or, three roses gules, within a bordure of the second. (fn. 1) Sir Nicholas had two sons and several daughters; one of whom, Anne, married Charles Wheler, esq. of Tottenham, grandfather of Sir George Wheler, D. D. and prebendary of Durham, the purchaser afterwards of this manor and palace, as will be further mentioned.
The two sairs which were granted in the 21st year of king Henry VI. are now held on April 29, and October 29, for horses, cattle, and pedlary.
The parish has in it the boroughs of Town, Sandpit, East Lenham, part of Field, and Acton.
Several of our antiquaries have supposed the Roman station, mentioned in the 2d iter of Antonine by the name of Durolevum, corruptly for Durolenum, to have been in this neighbourhood; and Dr. Plot mentions his discovery of a Roman way, which seemed to have passed the Medway at Teston, and crossing Cocksheath, pointed towards Lenham hither. Most of those who have contended for this station having been hereabouts, have fixed it at Lenham. Only two of them, Mr. Talbot and Dr. Stukeley, after much hesitation, where to place it, were for its having been here at Charing; the latter founded his opinion on the Roman antiquities, which he says, have been found all about here, which Horsley accounts for, from a supposition of this having been only a notilia way, and indeed there is but little, if any, foundation for any supposition that the station above-mentioned was here at Charing; that it was a notitia way, there is great reason to suppose, as has been already mentioned before, in the description of Lenham, to which may be added, that there is in this parish, about a mile S. S. W. from the town a hamlet called Stone-street, a name, which is a certain indication of its note in former times.
Mr. Jacob, in his Plantœ Favershamienses, has taken notice of several scarce plants in this parish, to which account the reader is referred from them.
There was a family who took their name from this parish, one of whom, Adam de Cherringes, was excommunicated by archbishop Becket, and, as it should seem, to blot out the heinousness of this offence, afterwards, in the time of archbishop Baldwin, the next successor but one to Becket, founded an hospital for leprous persons, at Romney, in honour of St. Stephen and St. Thomas Becket.
Anno 26 Edward I. the king granted licence to shut up a high road leading from Charing to Ashford.
¶The vulgar tradition, that Charing cross, in Westminster, was so called from a cross, which once stood on the summit of the hill here, which being taken from hence, was carried and set up there, is entirely without foundation; for the cross, which stood where the figure of king Charles on horseback now is at Charing-cross, in the centre of the three highways, as was then usual, was made and erected there in the year 1292, anno 21 Edward I. in that village which long before had been called Cheringes, and Charing, but which afterwards was universally called, from thence, Charing-cross. (fn. 2)
CHARING is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of its own name, and is exempt from the jurisdiction of the archdeacon.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is a handsome building, consisting of one isle and a transept, a high chancel and one small one on the south side of it. The tower, having a small beacon turret at one corner, is at the west end. There is only one bell in it. This tower was begun to be built of stone (for it was before of wood) at the latter end of king Edward IV.'s reign, as appears by the several legacies to the rebuilding of it, in the wills in the Prerogative-office, Canterbury, from 1479 to 1545, about which time only it seems to have been finished. On the stonework at the outside of it, are the arms of Brent, and a coat, being a star of many points, still remaining. In the year 1590 this church was consumed by fire, to the very stones of the building, which happened from a gun discharged at a pidgeon, then upon the roof of it; by which the windows and gravestones of the family of Brent were desaced. John Brent, sen. of Charing, in 1501, was buried in this church, before the door of the new chapel of the blessed Virgin Mary, where no burial had as yet been; and Amy Brent, of Charing, gentlewoman, by will in 1516, was buried within that chapel of her own edification. This chapel, now called Wickins chancel, was much defaced by the fire as above-mentioned. In the south cross was Burleigh chantry, mentioned before, which being burnt down in 1590, was repaired by John Darell, esq. of Calehill, then proprietor of it, whose arms are on the pews of it, as mentioned below. In king Richard II.'s time, the block on which St. John the Baptist was said to have been beheaded, was brought into England, and kept in this church. In the high chancel is a memorial for Samuel Belcher, gent. of Charing, obt. 1756, æt. 6l. and for his two wives. In the little chancel, now called Wickins chancel, are memorials for the Nethersoles and Derings; in the middle isle, for Peirce, Henman, and Ludwell; in the north cross monuments for Sir Robert Honywood, of Pett, and the Sayer family; in the south cross, memorials for Mushey Teale, M.D. in 1760, and for Mary his wife; his arms, Azure, a cockatrice regardant, sable; in chief, three martlets of the second. The pews in it are of oak, and much ornamented at their ends next the space with carvework, among which are these arms, a coat quarterly, first and sourth, A lion rampant, crowned; second, A fess indented, in chief, three mullets; third, Three bugle-horns stringed, impaling a fess, between three cross-croslets, fitchee. Another, Three bugle-horns stringed. Another, A lion rampant, crowned, or. Another, the crest of a Saracen's head, 1598.
The church of Charing was antiently appendant to the manor, and was part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, to which it was appropriated before the 8th year of king Richard II. and it remained with it till archbishop Cranmer, anno 37 Henry VIII. granted that manor, and all his estates within this parish, and the advowsons of this rectory and vicarage, to the king; (fn. 10) and these advowsons remained in the crown till Edward VI. granted them, together with the advowson of the chapel of Egerton, and other premises in Essex, in exchange, in his first year, to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London. In which state they continue at this time, the dean and chapter of St. Paul's being now proprietors of this rectory appropriate, together with the advowson of the vicarage of this church.
¶King Henry VIII. in his 38th year, demised this rectory, and the chapel of Egerton, to Leonard Hetherington, gent. for twenty-one years, and the lease of it continued in his descendants till one of them sold his interest in it, in king James I.'s reign. to John Dering, esq. of Egerton, but by some means, long before his death in 1618, it had passed into the possession of Edward, lord Wotton. How long it continued in his family I have not found; but it afterwards was demised to the family of Barrell, of Rochester, with whom the demise of it remained for many years; and in one of their delcendants it remained down to the Rev. Edmund Marthall, vicar of this parish, who died in 1797, possessed of the lease of it.
This vicarage is valued in the king's books at thirteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 6s. and is now of the clear yearly certified value of seventy-two pounds. In 1588 it was valued at fifty pounds. Communicants three hundred and twenty-six. In 1640, at eighty pounds. Communicants three hundred and seventy; and in 1700 it was valued at one hundred and ten pounds.
In 1535 this church was accounted a sinecure, which accounts for its having been formerly called a prebend.

History of the parish
1187, Wolkersdorf was for the first time as "Wolfkersdorf" in a deed of donatio by Manhard and Ulrich von Hintperch (= Himberg) mentioned. The parish Wolkersdorf appears in 1328 for the first time as a manorial establishment. The parish has always been limited to the local area. Over the centuries, the residents of the parish brought it through diligence and thrift to a modest prosperity. As to infestations, natural disasters and two plague epidemics are mentioned. The parish, located in the eastern border area of Austria, in times of war through occupation and looting had to suffer much. Mention should be made in this respect of the Turkish threat, the incursion of the Swedes during the 30 Years War, the plundering by the French under Napoleon as well as the Prussian army, which had advanced after the defeat of Austria in Hradec Králové in 1866 to the Rußbach (brook); finally the difficult time of the Soviet occupation after the Second World War should be mentioned. By order of the Lower Austrian Provincial Government of 14th November 1968 Wolkersdorf was conferred upon it the town charter. By the archbishop of Vienna the deanery Pillichsdorf on 1st January 1996 was renamed into the deanery Wolkersdorf. The parish has about 3,000 Catholics.
Parish Church
The parish church was built by Stephan von Slaet 1341-1350 and dedicated to Saint Margaret. This small gothic church (9.40 m long, 5.45 m wide, about 9 m high) is the presbytery for the today's parish church. 1727 Emperor Charles VI. the house of God by the Baroque nave had to its present size expanded (21.8 m long, 9.9 m wide, 12.5 m high). Despite the uniform external facade design, the two phases of construction are still recognizable, the Gothic presbytery and the Baroque ship. In 1754 Empress Maria Theresa the tower had built (37 m high).
Interior equipment: When you enter the church through the main gate under the tower, you are received by a bright, in cheerful colors decorated space. In the vertex of the presbytery wall the mighty Habsburg imperial eagle can be seen. The heart shield of the double eagle is surrounded by the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece and bears the monogram Emperor Charles VI . - CVI. In the claws the eagle holds sword and scepter, while a banner the motto of the Emperor and the year of the expansion of the church shows: "Constantia et Fortitudine" (with steadiness and fortitude) 1727.
The Baroque high altar was built in 1768 in imitation marble. The structure has over the tabernacle yet a Drehtabernakel (revolving tabernacle) for exposure of the Blessed Sacrament. Above it forms a plastic, the apocalyptic Lamb of God representing, flanked by two adoring angels, the conclusion. The retabel structure fits organically into the Gothic choir. Right of the altar is on a high pedestal saint Rochus represented, on the left, in the same way the holy Sebastian. In the middle part is behind the high altar in a picture larger than life the church patron, saint Margaretha represented (the painting is signed "FB 1832" - painter unknown). The saint stands upright and holds in her left hand a cross against the dragon (symbolizing the temptation to apostasy), while Schwurhand (oath hand) and look to our Heavenly Father are elevated, which appears above her. In the right wall of the presbytery there are seating niches with small ribbed vaults in the Gothic style (around 1350) with the coat of arms of the Counts of Nuremberg worked off.
On the side altars are two late Baroque wood-carved figures (1760), saint Joseph and the most blessed Virgin Mary, erected. The pulpit in the Rococo style dates back to 1770. The Stations of the Cross - by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum 1968 of basswood carved - are attached to the side walls of the nave. The organ was built in 1897 by the Viennese organ builder Johann M. Kauffmann as a mechanical cone chests organ with 16 registers.
From the church square the church staircase on a bridge (flying buttress) above the Mittelstraße (central road) leads to the parish church. In 1727, this staircase was decorated with six life-sized Baroque stone sculptures. This is probably an expression of gratitude for the successful baroque church reconstruction under Emperor Charles VI. Initiator of the edification of the saints was the then minister Christoph Leopold Edler von Guarient and Raall. The work was financed by donations from the guilds and by donations from individual citizens.
On the right side of the ascent there are statues
of saint Charles Borromeo, who was regarded as the patron saint against the plague.
of saint John of Nepomuk, who as a "bridge saint" was very revered among the people, and above
of st. Florian, who was popular as a patron of the fire and the forge.
On the left side there are the statues
of st. Joseph, who was called on as a patron for a good hour of death, and as a protector against an unprepared, sudden death,
the Mother of God as immaculately received Virgin who crushes the serpent's head, and above
of saint Leopold, the country's (Lower Austria) patron saint, who is represented as founder of churches and monasteries (church on the right arm).
Vicarage
The vicarage was built around 1727. The building with a Gothic core in 1797 was increased and adapted as parsonage. During the March battles against Napoleon, Emperor Franz I had from 16th May to 6th July 1809 here his headquarters installed. In 1997, the exterior facade was renovated.
Parish centre
By 1970 the parish center was built as a meeting place. Inside is an auditorium and seminar rooms which are used by the parochial groups. The parish center was built from 1971 to 1973 under Pastor Karl Ponweiser as a meeting place. The house is intended for cultural and pastoral events. It is used by all parish groups and for individual events (eg lectures, concerts, theatrical performances, balls) also leased.
Lourdes Chapel
At the point where yet in 1783 a cross was erected "to the glory of God and the consolation of the poor souls", the chapel was built in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes in 1890. 1909 this church was enlarged in the neo-Gothic-Romanesque style, so this first chapel is forming the presbytery for the present chapel.
In the curvature of the chancel 1971 a by Viennese artist Eduard Kerschbaum of basswood carved statue of Mary (1.3 m high) was erected. The statue is carved in the style of "lovely Madonnas" of the Gothic. The Mother of God carries in her right arm the Infant Jesus and in her left hand she holds a bunch of grapes, and she is therefore worshiped as "Wine-Producing Country Madonna", too.

Le cimetière chinois de Nolette est un cimetière situé le territoire de la commune française de Noyelles-sur-Mer où sont inhumés les travailleurs civils chinois employés par l'armée britannique pendant la Première Guerre mondiale.
Il s'agit du plus grand cimetière chinois de France et d'Europe
Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, Noyelles abrita une importante base arrière britannique dont un grand camp de coolies (travailleurs immigrés chinois). Ils furent recrutés par l'armée britannique entre 1917 et 1919 dans le cadre du corps de travailleurs chinois (en anglais, Chinese Labour Corps), pour des tâches de manutention à l'arrière du front mais certains connaitront les zones de combat.
Ils représentent l'une des premières immigrations chinoises en France. Ils avaient l'interdiction de se mêler à la population civile du lieu. Certains resteront en France après la Grande Guerre.
Chinois en France
L'entrée du cimetière chinois de Nolette.
Ils étaient affectés à des tâches pénibles et dangereuses comme le terrassement de tranchées, le ramassage des soldats morts sur le champ de bataille, le déminage des terrains reconquis, la blanchisserie, les services de santé auprès des malades, en particulier ceux atteints de la grippe espagnole...
En 1921, le gouvernement britannique décida l'édification du cimetière chinois à Nolette. Le Major Truelove est chargé de sa réalisation sous l'autorité d'Edwin Lutyens.
Depuis 2002, le cimetière de Nolette est le lieu de célébration de la Fête de Qing Ming (Fête des Morts chinoise) en France organisée par le Conseil pour l'intégration des communautés d'origine chinoise en France.
On trouve dans le département de la Somme des tombes de coolies dans les cimetières d'Abbeville, Albert, Daours, Gézaincourt, Tincourt-Boucly et Villers-Carbonnel.
Propriété de l'État français et gérée par la Commonwealth War Graves Commission, la nécropole située près du hameau de Nolette dans la commune de Noyelles-sur-Mer a été inaugurée en 1921 par le Préfet de la Somme. 849 travailleurs chinois sont inhumés à Noyelles-sur-Mer. La plupart travaillait au camp chinois de l'armée britannique situé sur la commune entre 1917 et 1919.
Tombe de Yang Shiyue 楊十月 originaire du Shandong, mort le 12 janvier 19191.
Beaucoup sont morts d'une épidémie de choléra qui a sévi dans le camp, de la grippe espagnole en 1918-1919 ou de la tuberculose, voire tués dans les zones de combat.
Le site est caractérisée par le portail d'entrée, les inscriptions sur les tombes et les essences d'arbres (pins, cèdres...) qu'on ne rencontre pas dans les autres cimetières du Commonwealth ainsi que par l'absence de croix du Sacrifice et de pierre du Souvenir.
Les tombes de ce cimetière sont constituées de 849 stèles en marbre blanc, avec sur chacune d'elle gravée une inscription en anglais « Faithful unto Death » ou « Though dead he still liveth » ou encore « A good reputation endures for ever » ainsi que des idéogrammes chinois et parfois, très rarement, le nom en anglais ou le matricule du défunt.
Le porche monumental et le mur de l'entrée tiennent lieu de mémorial pour la quarantaine de Chinois morts sur terre ou sur mer sans tombes connues.
Des statues de lions offerts par la République populaire de Chine sont situées, non loin de la nécropole, à l'entrée de la rue qui mène au cimetière de Nolette
Down the hill from Challock and Kings Wood, sitting on the junction of two ancient high roads, but now split in half by the A20, Charing is delightful.
It is nine years perhaps since I was last here. I took two shots outside, and four inside.
How could I have been so blind?
Charing is a tangle of narrow lanes and timber framed houses, with the church at the end of a narrow lane which ends in what used to be the market place. To the north of the square sits what used to be the Bishop's Palace, still an impressive collection of buildings, although now a private dwelling and a farm.
I found the church open, and was first struck by its fine decoration and impressive size.
------------------------------------------
A large church beautifully positioned next to the remains of the medieval Archbishop's Palace just off the High Street. The west tower was built in the late fifteenth century. During its construction the body of the church was destroyed in an accidental fire - started by a man shooting at pigeons on the roof. The replacement roofs are clearly dated on the tie-beams as 1592 and 1620. A fine early seventeenth-century pulpit and nice collection of eighteenth-century tablets add much to the character of the building. The south nave window is a very strange shape, basically square, with four lights of equal height surmounted by a net of elaborate triangles, quatrefoils and, unusually, an octofoil! It is of fourteenth-century date.

CHARING
IS the adjoining parish to Westwell north-westward. It is written in Domesday, Cheringes, and in other antient records, Cerringes and Cherring.
It lies partly below and partly above the upper range of chalk hills, where there is much woodland. It is a healthy, though not a very pleasant situation, from the nature of the soils in it, all which are but poor; about the town or village, and to the summit of the hill it is chalky; above the hill a red cludgy earth covered with slints, and below the town mostly a sand. At the western boundary, next to Lenham, is Charing heath; it is watered by several small streamlets, which rising near the foot of the hills, direct their course southward into the Stour, which runs towards Ashford just below the boundary of it. The village, or town of Charing, as it is more usually called, stands at the foot of the hill, called from it Charing-hill, over which the high road leads through it from Faversham, through Smarden and Biddenden, and thence to Cranbrooke and Tenterden in the Weald. The high road likewise from Ashford, since the new turnpike has been completed, is made by new cuts to pass through this town and Lenham, instead of its former more southern circuit by Chilson park and Sandway towards Maidstone, shortening its distance considerably. Notwithstanding these roads, there is no great matter of traffic through it, the town is unpaved, and has a clean countryfied look, there is a good house in it, formerly belonging to the Poole's, whose arms were, Azure, a lion rampant, argent, semee, of fleur de lis, or. Afterwards to Dr. Ludwell, who bore for his arms, Gules, on a bend, argent, three eagles, azure, between two castles of the second; and then to the Carter's, one of whom sold it to George Norwood, esq. who resides in it. Not far from it is an antient mansion, which has been modernized formerly, called Peirce-house, now belonging to Mr. James Wakeley, who resides in it; at a small distance from the street eastward is the ruinated palace, the church and the vicarage, a pleasant habitable dwelling.
There are large ruins of the archiepiscopal palace still remaining; the antient great gateway to it is now standing, and much of the sides of the court within it, on the east side of which seems to have been the dining-room, the walls of which remain, and it is converted into a barn. On the opposite side to this are many of the offices, now made into stables. Fronting the great gateway above-mentioned, seems to have been the entrance into the palace itself, part of which, on the east side, is fitted up as a dwelling-house, at the back of which, northward, are the remains of the chapel, the walls of which are standing entire, being built of squared stone, mixed with slints; on the side wall of it are three windows, with pointed arches, and at the east end a much larger one, of the same form. Sir Nicholas Gilborne, hereafter mentioned, as having resided here in king James I.'s reign, was son of William Gilborne, esq. of London, who lies buried in St. Catherine's Creechurch, London, descended from the Gilbornes, of Ereswike, in Yorkshire, and bore for their arms, Azure, on a chevron, or, three roses gules, within a bordure of the second. (fn. 1) Sir Nicholas had two sons and several daughters; one of whom, Anne, married Charles Wheler, esq. of Tottenham, grandfather of Sir George Wheler, D. D. and prebendary of Durham, the purchaser afterwards of this manor and palace, as will be further mentioned.
The two sairs which were granted in the 21st year of king Henry VI. are now held on April 29, and October 29, for horses, cattle, and pedlary.
The parish has in it the boroughs of Town, Sandpit, East Lenham, part of Field, and Acton.
Several of our antiquaries have supposed the Roman station, mentioned in the 2d iter of Antonine by the name of Durolevum, corruptly for Durolenum, to have been in this neighbourhood; and Dr. Plot mentions his discovery of a Roman way, which seemed to have passed the Medway at Teston, and crossing Cocksheath, pointed towards Lenham hither. Most of those who have contended for this station having been hereabouts, have fixed it at Lenham. Only two of them, Mr. Talbot and Dr. Stukeley, after much hesitation, where to place it, were for its having been here at Charing; the latter founded his opinion on the Roman antiquities, which he says, have been found all about here, which Horsley accounts for, from a supposition of this having been only a notilia way, and indeed there is but little, if any, foundation for any supposition that the station above-mentioned was here at Charing; that it was a notitia way, there is great reason to suppose, as has been already mentioned before, in the description of Lenham, to which may be added, that there is in this parish, about a mile S. S. W. from the town a hamlet called Stone-street, a name, which is a certain indication of its note in former times.
Mr. Jacob, in his Plantœ Favershamienses, has taken notice of several scarce plants in this parish, to which account the reader is referred from them.
There was a family who took their name from this parish, one of whom, Adam de Cherringes, was excommunicated by archbishop Becket, and, as it should seem, to blot out the heinousness of this offence, afterwards, in the time of archbishop Baldwin, the next successor but one to Becket, founded an hospital for leprous persons, at Romney, in honour of St. Stephen and St. Thomas Becket.
Anno 26 Edward I. the king granted licence to shut up a high road leading from Charing to Ashford.
¶The vulgar tradition, that Charing cross, in Westminster, was so called from a cross, which once stood on the summit of the hill here, which being taken from hence, was carried and set up there, is entirely without foundation; for the cross, which stood where the figure of king Charles on horseback now is at Charing-cross, in the centre of the three highways, as was then usual, was made and erected there in the year 1292, anno 21 Edward I. in that village which long before had been called Cheringes, and Charing, but which afterwards was universally called, from thence, Charing-cross. (fn. 2)
CHARING is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of its own name, and is exempt from the jurisdiction of the archdeacon.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is a handsome building, consisting of one isle and a transept, a high chancel and one small one on the south side of it. The tower, having a small beacon turret at one corner, is at the west end. There is only one bell in it. This tower was begun to be built of stone (for it was before of wood) at the latter end of king Edward IV.'s reign, as appears by the several legacies to the rebuilding of it, in the wills in the Prerogative-office, Canterbury, from 1479 to 1545, about which time only it seems to have been finished.

In the year 1590 this church was consumed by fire, to the very stones of the building, which happened from a gun discharged at a pidgeon, then upon the roof of it; by which the windows and gravestones of the family of Brent were desaced. John Brent, sen. of Charing, in 1501, was buried in this church, before the door of the new chapel of the blessed Virgin Mary, where no burial had as yet been; and Amy Brent, of Charing, gentlewoman, by will in 1516, was buried within that chapel of her own edification. This chapel, now called Wickins chancel, was much defaced by the fire as above-mentioned. In the south cross was Burleigh chantry, mentioned before, which being burnt down in 1590, was repaired by John Darell, esq. of Calehill, then proprietor of it, whose arms are on the pews of it, as mentioned below. In king Richard II.'s time, the block on which St. John the Baptist was said to have been beheaded, was brought into England, and kept in this church. In the high chancel is a memorial for Samuel Belcher, gent. of Charing, obt. 1756, æt. 6l. and for his two wives. In the little chancel, now called Wickins chancel, are memorials for the Nethersoles and Derings; in the middle isle, for Peirce, Henman, and Ludwell; in the north cross monuments for Sir Robert Honywood, of Pett, and the Sayer family; in the south cross, memorials for Mushey Teale, M.D. in 1760, and for Mary his wife; his arms, Azure, a cockatrice regardant, sable; in chief, three martlets of the second. The pews in it are of oak, and much ornamented at their ends next the space with carvework, among which are these arms, a coat quarterly, first and sourth, A lion rampant, crowned; second, A fess indented, in chief, three mullets; third, Three bugle-horns stringed, impaling a fess, between three cross-croslets, fitchee. Another, Three bugle-horns stringed. Another, A lion rampant, crowned, or. Another, the crest of a Saracen's head, 1598.
The church of Charing was antiently appendant to the manor, and was part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, to which it was appropriated before the 8th year of king Richard II. and it remained with it till archbishop Cranmer, anno 37 Henry VIII. granted that manor, and all his estates within this parish, and the advowsons of this rectory and vicarage, to the king; (fn. 10) and these advowsons remained in the crown till Edward VI. granted them, together with the advowson of the chapel of Egerton, and other premises in Essex, in exchange, in his first year, to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London. In which state they continue at this time, the dean and chapter of St. Paul's being now proprietors of this rectory appropriate, together with the advowson of the vicarage of this church.
¶King Henry VIII. in his 38th year, demised this rectory, and the chapel of Egerton, to Leonard Hetherington, gent. for twenty-one years, and the lease of it continued in his descendants till one of them sold his interest in it, in king James I.'s reign. to John Dering, esq. of Egerton, but by some means, long before his death in 1618, it had passed into the possession of Edward, lord Wotton. How long it continued in his family I have not found; but it afterwards was demised to the family of Barrell, of Rochester, with whom the demise of it remained for many years; and in one of their delcendants it remained down to the Rev. Edmund Marthall, vicar of this parish, who died in 1797, possessed of the lease of it.
This vicarage is valued in the king's books at thirteen pounds, and the yearly tenths at 1l. 6s. and is now of the clear yearly certified value of seventy-two pounds. In 1588 it was valued at fifty pounds. Communicants three hundred and twenty-six. In 1640, at eighty pounds. Communicants three hundred and seventy; and in 1700 it was valued at one hundred and ten pounds.
In 1535 this church was accounted a sinecure, which accounts for its having been formerly called a prebend.
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien de Tours est l'église cathédrale catholique romaine, située à Tours, en Indre-et-Loire. Dédiée Saint-Gatien, elle est le siège du diocèse de Tours et la cathédrale métropolitaine de la province ecclésiastique de Tours.
Elle a été classée monument historique par liste de 1862.
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien a été construite entre 1170 et 1547. Lors de sa création, elle était située presque au débouché du pont franchissant la Loire, sur la route reliant Paris au sud-ouest de la France. Elle fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621.
La première cathédrale Saint-Maurice a été édifiée par Lidoire, évêque de Tours de 337 à 371 et prédécesseur de Martin. Incendiée en 561, elle est restaurée par Grégoire de Tours et dédicacée en 590. Du fait de son emplacement, à l'angle sud-ouest du castrum, et de son orientation à l'est, l'accès se faisait, sinon au travers de l'enceinte tardo-antique, du moins en baïonnette depuis la voie traversant la cité ; une telle configuration est rare2. La cathédrale de Tours est reconstruite au cours du deuxième quart du xiie siècle et est incendiée en 1166 lors des luttes entre Louis VII de France et Henri II d'Angleterre, comte d'Anjou. On ne connaît pas le plan de cet édifice.
La nef et le chœur :
La cathédrale actuelle remplace cet édifice roman. La première campagne a concerné le croisillon sud et les tours, dès 1170. Le chœur est reconstruit de 1236 à 1279 par Étienne de Mortagne. C'est la nef qui a demandé le plus de temps pour son édification. L'architecte Simon du Mans reconstruit le transept et entame la nef, dont six travées, bas-côtés et chapelles sont édifiés au xive siècle — les deux premières travées correspondent à celles de l'ancienne cathédrale romane et remontent au xiie siècle. La nef n'est achevée qu'au xve siècle par les architectes Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin et Jean Durand, grâce aux libéralités accordées par Charles VII et le duc de Bretagne Jean V. À l'occasion de l'édification du bâtiment actuel, la nef a donc été allongée vers l'ouest et les tours encadrant l'entrée sont élevées en dehors de l'ancienne cité, accentuant la particularité de l'édifice mentionnée supra ; l'enceinte tardo-antique est visible en coupe à l'arrière des tours depuis le nord. En 1356, la cathédrale reçoit le nouveau vocable de Gatien.
La façade a perdu les grandes statues des piédroits, détruites par les protestants au cours des guerres de Religion. Mais elle demeure une des plus extraordinaires créations du gothique flamboyant dans ce qu'il a de plus éxubérant, véritable dentelle de pierre sans guère d'équivalent, chef-d'œuvre décoratif de premier plan. Les tours sont élevées dans la première moitié du xvie siècle : la tour nord a été édifiée en 1507 par Pierre de Valence, et la tour sud entre 1534 et 1547 par Pierre Gadier.

La catedral San Gaciano de Tours, también llamada Catedral de Tours es la iglesia catedral de la diócesis de Tours y la catedral metropolitana de la provincia eclesiástica de Tours. Fue construida entre 1170 y 1547. Estaba situada durante su creación casi a la salida del puente que cruza el Loira, sobre la ruta que une París con el suroeste de Francia.
Historia:
La primera catedral de San Mauricio fue edificada por Lidoire, obispo de Tours del 337 al 371 y predecesor de Martín de Tours. Incendiada en el 561, fue restaurada por Gregorio de Tours y dedicada en el 590.
Su situación, en el ángulo suroeste del castrum, hace que la orientación al este haya hecho que el acceso se haga, sino a través de la muralla tardo-antigua, desde la vía que atraviesa la ciudad. Tal configuración es poco común. No se conoce el plano de este edificio.

Saint Gatien's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral church of the Tours diocese and the metropolitan cathedral of the Tours ecclesiastic province, in Indre-et-Loire, France. Saint-Gatien's Cathedral was built between 1170 and 1547. At the time construction began, it was located at the south end of the bridge over the Loire, on the road from Paris to the south-west of France. It has been a classified Monument historique since 1862.
The first cathedral of Saint-Maurice was built by Lidoire, bishop of Tours from 337 to 371 (preceding St Martin). Burnt in 561, it was restored by Gregory of Tours and rededicated in 590. Its location, at the south-west angle of the castrum, as well as its eastern orientation, resulted in the original access being through the late-Roman surrounding wall (such a configuration is quite rare).
The cathedral was then rebuilt during the second quarter of the 12th century and again burnt in 1166 during the conflict between Louis VII of France and Henry II of England (also count of Anjou, the neighboring region).
The present cathedral replaces the 13th century Romanesque building. The first phase concerned the south transept and the towers, as early as 1170. The chancel was rebuilt from 1236 to 1279 by Étienne de Mortagne but the nave took much longer to build. The architect Simon du Mans rebuilt the transept and started the nave, including six spans, aisle and chapel, built during the 14th century — the first two spans correspond to those of the old Romanesque cathedral and date back to the 12th century. The nave was only finished during the 15th century by architects Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin and Jean Durand, thanks to the generosity of Charles VII and the Duke of Brittany Jean V.
While building the present cathedral, the nave was then extended westward and the towers surrounding its entrance were erected during the first half of the 16th century, the first tower in 1507 by Pierre de Valence 87 m high, and the second tower during 1534 and 1547 by Pierre Gadier. Highlighting the special feature of the building, called supra, the towers were erected outside of the old city. The late-Roman surrounding wall is visible in cross section at the rear of the towers from the north.
In 1356, the cathedral received its new name of saint Gatien. Its construction having been particularly slow, it presents a complex pattern of French religious types of architecture from the 13th century to the 15th. For example, the tower buttresses are Romanesque, the ornamentation generally is pure Gothic, and the tops of the towers are Renaissance (beginning of the 16th century).
