A 13th Century Early English recessed tomb in the south wall of Leonard Stanley Church (St. Swithun), originally part of a Norman priory built 1121-29. The tomb is broken by a 15th Century staircase which once led to a doorway to a 15th Century rood screen; this screen divided the nave which was used by the parishioners (and dedicated to St. Swithun) and the remaining part of the church (chancel and transepts) used by the monks and dedicated to St. Leonard. Photographed 24 October 2014.
St Mary's Church, Nottingham. Built on the site of a church believed to date back to Saxon times, the present St Mary The Virgin church dates back to the late C14th. It was restored by George Gilbert Scott in Victorian times, and again at the end of the C20th. The Organ is by Marcussen & Son of Denmark and is a fine example of a neo-classical style instrument. It was installed in 1973. The largest medieval building in Nottingham, the church is Grade 1 listed.

The skyline of St. Louis, Missouri, just after sunset. Taken on January 21st, 2013 on the way home from a trip to Alton, Illinois to go eagle watching. Although St. Louis is located in Missouri, I was in Illinois when I got this shot.
I was using an old Minolta Maxxum (A-Mount) zoom lens that I recently acquired. It's a Minolta AF Zoom 70-210mm lens, that came with a Minolta Maxxum 300si film camera I found. Because Sony kept the Minolta A-mount for their cameras, this old Minolta auto-focus film lens fits on my new Sony Alpha A230 DSLR. And because the sensor on the digital camera is smaller than normal, it makes the focal length of this lens 105-315mm in equivalent range.

St Augustine's parish church Rumney
St Augustine's church in Rumney Village would have at one time been the church serving the village and farms of the local district. Now it is surrounded by housing estates and the village effectively no longer exists.
The church fall into the Diocese of Monmouth, which was (due to some ambiguity) considered to be part of England, This led to a problem that a fairly substancial part of Wales' capital city Cardiff, fell into a different country. The river Rhymeny was the border between the countries, (so in my previous photos I could have been in England or Wales depending on which bank I was standing on).
In 1974 this was generally cleared up, and Monmouthshire (then known as Gwent), became part of Wales, though some still regard it as England!

"Die katholische Kirche St. Bonifatius befindet sich im Dortmunder Stadtbezirk Dortmund-West unweit der Bundesstraße 1.
Die Kirche wurde ursprünglich zwischen 1909 und 1910 nach Plänen des Mainzer Dombaumeisters Ludwig Becker im Stil der Neoromanik errichtet, jedoch im Zweiten Weltkrieg 1944/45 stark zerstört. Erhalten blieben der Südostturm und die beiden westlichen Treppentürme.
Nach dem Krieg wurde 1951 vom Architekten Emil Steffann ein Neubau entworfen. Unter Einbeziehung der Reste des Vorgängerbaus (westliche Treppentürme, südöstlicher Glockenturm) wurde eine neue Kirche errichtet. Dabei wurden an verschiedenen Stellen des Mauerwerks Trümmersteine vom alten Gebäude eingesetzt.
Es handelt sich um einen stützenlosen, weiträumigen Kirchensaal mit Apsis und einem Nebenraum an der Nordseite, der durch einen großen Rundbogen mit dem Hauptraum verbunden ist. Ein kleinerer Nebenraum an der Nordostseite ist als Kapelle gestaltet. 1967 wurde das Rundbogenfenster dieses Raumes mit der abstrakten, in Rottönen gestalteten Verglasung von Hans Kaiser zum Thema „Der brennende Dornbusch“ ausgestattet.
Die Innenarchitektur betont den Altar als Mittelpunkt. Dabei nahm die Anordnung von Altar und anderen liturgischen Orten die Reformen des 2. vatikanischen Konzils vorweg. Die strenge Schlichtheit des Kirchenbaus steht in franziskanischer Tradition, deren Wirkung man auf häufige Assisi-Aufenthalte Steffanns zurückführt. Im Bereich der Innenausstattung ist der große Taufbrunnen von H. G. Bücker aus dem Jahre 1954 zu erwähnen.
Die St.-Bonifatius-Kirche steht heute unter Denkmalschutz." Quelle und weitere Informationen: Wikipedia: St. Bonifatius (Dortmund)

I'm not a big collector, really, but I can get absorbed by boxes of discarded photographs in junk shops and antique stores. Recently I came across some that had a gentle poignancy about them that I couldn't ignore. This image is one of them. Written on the back of the photo in pencil is "St. Louis, 1949" and a list of names. I wonder what the years brought to this row of exceptional faces.
Used a Paint texture processing on this , thought it looked pretty good .

On the place, where the St. Martin Basilica is now, was a Roman temple (Mercury) upto 406. The foundation of this temple were used, when the first Christian churches were erected here. In 891, when the Normans burnt down Bingen, the church got ruined as well. When a new church was completed more than a century later Archbishop Williges (975-1011), who had the nearby Drusus-bridge constructed, established a college of canons here, so the church was a collegiate church from then on.
In 1403 this Romanesque church got destroyed by fire. The new collegiate church was done in Gothic style. The St. Martin Basilica of today joins actually two churches: the former collegiate church and the former parish church, from the early 16th century, dedicated to Saint Barbara.
Below the choir of the Gothic basilica is the Romanesque crypt of the predecessor (11th century). A gravestone was found here, proving that a Christian parish existed already within the 6th century.
Whilst on the subject of St Blazey, here is a photo that my dad took of me and my brothers frothing outside the round house. If only I knew what the beast was that was lurking inside:)
St James's Park is at the heart of ceremonial London. It is the setting for spectacular pageants, like Trooping the Colour, and is surrounded by some of the country's most famous landmarks including Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, St James's Palace and Westminster.
But there is also another side to St James's Park; it is a tranquil place. Simply relax in a deckchair and watch the world go by. The flower beds and shrubberies are enjoyed by visitors all the year round.
St James's Park has been at the centre of the country's royal and ceremonial life for more than four hundred years. Royal ambitions and national events have shaped many of the features in the park.
The stained glass in St Margaret's Chapel in Edinburgh Castle dates from 1922 and was designed by Douglas Strachan. The chapel itself dates from the 12th century and commemorates Saint Margaret of Scotland.
St Chads Church, Lichfield with Stowe Pool in the foreground.
Thanks to the discovery of a spring (Stowe Pool is a man made reservoir), the site of St Chads has been a holy place at least since the dark ages. More recently, St Chads briefly enjoyed a rush of fame during the notorious "hanging chads" Florida recount fiasco in the 2000 USA presidential election as it cropped up in Google searches. It has now returned to quiet obscurity.

St. Stephen's Church, previously known as the New North Church, in Boston's North End was built between 1802 and 1804. The architect was the renowned Charles Bulfinch, who also designed the Massachusetts State House. Originally Congregationalist, it transitioned to Unitarian and in 1862 was acquired by the Catholic Diocese of Boston when it was renamed St. Stephen's. By the mid-19th century, a significant number of Irish Catholic immigrants had settled in the North End. Rose Kennedy (mother of JFK) was baptized in this church in 1890 and her funeral took place here in 1995. A significant structural restoration was done in the mid-1960s. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
