St. Peter's is incredibly beautiful inside and out. I could spend hours and hours there. When the World's Fair was in New York back in the 1960s I saw Michelangel's Pieta and have never forgotten how perfectly perfect it is. It's even better in its natural surroundings. The Colosseum is amazing in its complexity - they even had elevators to raise the animal cages up from the area below the field for the gladiators to fight. The lower left photo is of the Trevi Fountain which I think was the busiest sight in all of Rome. The lower right photo is the Piazza Navona, a pretty place with lots of fountains.

The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), officially known in Italian as the Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano and commonly known as St. Peter's Basilica, is a Late Renaissance church located within the Vatican City. St. Peter's Basilica has the largest interior of any Christian church in the world. It is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic sites. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world" and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom".
St. Peter's Catholic Church was built in 1834. The front of the church was extended and this Spanish-style facade was added in 1882.
The former high altar at St Peter's College, a Catholic seminary built in Scotland in the 1960s and abandoned in the 1980s. Designed by the architectural firm of Gillespie, Kidd & Coia, St Peter's is now regarded as the finest example of late Modernist architecture in Scotland. Unfotunately neither this, nor the fact that is is now a grade A listed building, has saved it from years of neglect and destruction, to our shame.

The village of Farningham in Kent was a chance discovery on the way back from Lullingstone (see earlier) and Farningham's parish church of St Peter and St Paul is a little stunner. While lacking the old glass of Lullingstone, Farningham compensates with some fine Victorian and modern glass, an Elizabethan monument inside the church and an 18th century mausoleum in the churchyard.

The chancel is mid-13th century (Early English) while the nave is 13th to 14th century. The tower was probably added in the 15th century. Exterior alterations in the 19th century saw the flat-topped tower raised seven feet to incorporate battlements and a turret. The red brick external repairs had been carried out earlier, around 1790.
Internally the church has featured various galleries in the nave which have all now been removed. The gallery in the base of the church tower survived until 1900. The eight-sided font is 15th century with sides carved to represent Baptism, Holy Matrimony, Ordination, Extreme Unction, Holy Communion, Mass, Penance and Confirmation.
The Roper memorial on the north wall is dated 1597 and represents Antony Roper with his wife and some of his children. The sons are there but some of the daughters broke away and are now lost. The church also has some good brasses hidden under the carpets. One is dated 1451 and represents a former vicar. Some of the glass is by Charles Winston, later a noted authority on stained glass. His father was vicar of Farningham and one window may be an apprentice piece of Charles'.
In the churchyard there is a handsome mausoleum to Thomas Nash, merchant citizen of London and a Justice of the Peace for Kent and Surrey. He died in Paris in 1778 and is buried here.

By William Wailes of Newcastle (1808-1881).
William Wailes (1808-1881) started his own company in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1838 and became one of the largest provincial stained glass producers. In 1841 the company was making their own glass and Wailes was employed to make glass for Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, mainly from 1842 to 1845, but he produced glass for Pugin on and off up until the latter's death in 1852. His son-in-law, Thomas Rankine Strang (1835-1899) later joined him as a partner and the name changed to Wailes & Strang. From 1859, William Wailes lived in some style at Saltwell Towers, Gateshead. He died there and is buried in the churchyard of St Peter, Bywell, Northumberland.

St. Peter's Church is home to the combined congregation of St. Peter's, Tyrconnell and Nativity Church, Dutton. Families with Irish roots crossed Lake Erie in 1809 from the American side. They settled in the area and 18 years later the congregation that was formed, and had been worshipping for some time, built St. Peter's Church.
Built in 1827, the church is known as one of the Talbot Churches. St. Peter's is one of the most painted and photographed churches in Southwestern Ontario.

St Peter, Barnburgh, South Yorkshire.
Grade l listed.
The Church of St Peter is situated at the centre of the village of Barnburgh, near Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, and serves the communities of Barnburgh and Harlington.
Construction
St Peter's consists of a tower of four stages surmounted by a small, squat spire, a nave with north and south aisles, a chancel with a north aisle or chapel, and a porch. The church is built of a mixture of sandstone and magnesium limestone.
Although there has been a church on this site since c. 1150 AD, nothing remains of the original church.
There is a private chantry chapel north of the chancel for the Cresacre family, who were Lords of Barnburgh from the 13th to the 16th century. Most of this chapel is taken up by the tomb of Sir Percival Cresacre (who died in 1477) and his wife, Alice (died 1450).
Cat and Man Legend
The Cat and Man Legend tells of events said to have occurred before the 15th century. There was formerly a hall at Barnburgh which was in the possession of the Cresacre family. According to the legend, a knight of the Cresacre family (reputedly Sir Percival Cresacre, but this is disputed) was returning home late on the heavily wooded track from Doncaster through Sprotborough and High Melton.
As he was approaching Barnburgh, a wildcat (or a lynx) sprang out of the branches of a tree and landed on the back of his horse. The horse threw its rider to the ground and fled. The cat then turned on the knight and there followed a long, deadly struggle between the two which continued all the way from Ludwell Hill to Barnburgh.
After fighting the cat the mile's distance to the village of Barnburgh, the knight made for the porch of St Peter's Church, presumably to try to get inside the church and close the door on the animal. The fight had been so fierce, however, that Sir Percival fell dying in the church porch and, in his last, dying struggle, stretched out his feet and crushed the cat against the wall of the porch.
Thus, the legend goes, the cat killed the man and the man killed the cat. They were found some time later by the search party that went out after the knight's horse had returned home riderless.
Stones in the floor of the porch of St Peter's are tainted with red. There is also a cat at the feet of the Cresacre effigy in the north aisle of the church.

St Peter Mancroft is Norwich's largest and finest parish church, a superb example of late 15th/early 16th century Perpendicular gothic. It's elaborately panelled west tower is a major landmark in the heart of the city.
Inside the huge, elegant space is flooded with light from it's large windows and above the sweeping arcades is a fine hammerbeam roof (with unusual false vaulting at it's edges).
The focal point inside is the church's greatest treasure, the enormous 7-light east window mostly filled with original 15th century stained glass in a series of narrative panels on the subject of the life of Christ. It is one of the most significant survivals of the period. Below is a richly carved and gilded early 20th century reredos.
There are good examples of late Victorian/early 20th century glass here too, most notably Herbert Hendrie's superb Lady Chapel east window from the 1920s. There is also a fine and unusual medieval font canopy in the north west corner.
As befits Norwich's most impotrant parish church it is also one of it's most accessible ones and is generally open daily.

Belgium. Oostende.
The church of St Peter and Paul (Sint Petrus En Pauluskerk) was completed in 1905 after its predecessor burnt down in 1896. The church was modelled after Cologne’s Cathedral and Vienna's Votivkirche and inside is the mausoleum for Belgium's first queen Louise-Marie who died in Ostend in 1850. The stained-glass windows show the portraits of different Belgian Kings.
All the original stained glass windows were destroyed in the World Wars. The current glass shows the portraits of different Belgian Kings and Queens and Saints Peter and Paul.

Learning center offers Native American students new technology
By J.D. Long-García, jdlgarcia@catholicsun.org
November 20, 2008
BAPCHULE — There was only one member of St. Peter Mission School community who was unsure about the name of the new Joe Garagiola Learning Center — Joe Garagiola himself.
“Joe fussed about it,” Franciscan Sister Martha Carpenter said. “He said, ‘Nothing is named after me except my oldest son.’”
Garagiola — a former Major League Baseball player who’s known as “Awesome Fox” by the school community — eventually agreed on the condition that “Where every child is a gift” be included in the center’s name.
More than 300 people were on hand for the Nov. 2 blessing of the new facility. Led by Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted, the community gathered for prayer and thanksgiving.
“This center is a real homerun, Joe,” the bishop said during the blessing ceremony.
St. Peter students joined in thanking Garagiola, singing “This Man is Our Joe” to the melody of Woody Guthrie’s classic “This Land is Your Land.”
But the former ball player wasn’t the only one honored.
“We have never said as often as we should how thankful we are for the Franciscan sisters,” said Fr. Edward Meulmans, a retired priest who serves Native American missions in the diocese.
He said the students pick up the Franciscans’ loving spirit of service when they come to the school. The sisters create an environment that marries prayer with education, he said.
“The learning center, along with the church, will be an important building for us for years to come,” Fr. Meulmans said.
The five-year project replaced the school’s tiny library with the 5,125-square-foot learning center featuring a lab with 30 computers and a 12,000-volume library.

St Peter's Roman Catholic church in Dormer Place, Leamington Spa is an eye-catching essay in brick and stone, distinguished by it's tall slender tower (originally crowned by a tapering pyramid-like spire) which is a prominent feature of Leamington's skyline. The church was built in 1861-5 to the designs of Henry Clutton.
The interior is bright and has a slightly continental feel. It is cheerfully adorned with a richly decorated sanctuary and stained glass by Hardman's of Birmingham, most noticeably in the apse and the two transept chapels with their charming rose-windows.
The church is usually open during much of the day for private prayer.
The new church of SS Peter & Paul at Upton upon Severn was designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield and built in 1878-9, to replace the medieval church, a frequent victim of flooding (being so close to the banks of the Severn) of which only the tower remains.
This large church consists of an aisled nave with northwest steeple and a lofty chancel, all built in a honey-coloured stone with paler dressings.
The interior is less colourful but contains some dramatic features, most noticeably the aluminium corona sculpture (representing semi abstract spirits, installed 1987) above the altar. The furnishings are otherwise mostly Victorian, the wooden screen at the west end was brought from a redundant church in Worcester.
The stained glass in the aisles and chancel is mostly by Heaton, Butler & Bayne, including the east window. The real treasure here however is the superb west window by Christopher Whall,, the inspirational leading light of Arts & Crafts stained glass.
There are a few monuments brought from the old church, mainly minor wall tablets except for the 14th century knight's effigy from the former tomb of William Boteler.

The giant early 17th-century mosaic inside of the cupola has as its main theme Christ the Redeemer and (mostly) his disciples. They are accompanied by numerous angels.
Climb the 550 stairs to the top of the dome of St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City for the finest aerial views of Rome and the Vatican Museum. It is also possible to reach by elevator the gallery just below the dome for fantastic views of the cupola mosaic and the inside of the church, as well as access to the rooftop terraces for close-up inspection of the statues of saints on the colonnades, a handy toilet, a souvenir shop, a small café, and a mailbox for Vatican City stamps and postcards.
St. Peter Church, Dunchurch, Warwickshire.
A church has stood on the present site for about 1000 years. The Domesday Book called the village ‘Done Cerce’ and said that there was a priest here. The church is for the most part, the work of the monks of Pipewell, a Cistercian abbey near Kettering in Northamptonshire. Pipewell owned lands and property in Warwickshire and St. Peter’s was appropriated by the abbey in 1175.
