St Peter's Church, Bristol. Severely damaged by enemy bombing in 1940, it has since been maintained in its ruined state as a memorial to Bristol's civilian war dead. 10th September 2009.
St Peter's at Church Lawford is a mostly Victorian structure by Slater & Carpenter 1872 and quite a handsome building. The only medieval part is the north arcade inside and a plain blocked Norman south door.
I'd got into this church many years ago by luckily stumbling across a keyholder. It is still kept locked now, but this time I decided to save it for another occasion and move on, rather than bother the wardens whose numbers were posted.
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.

By James Powell & Sons, Whitefriars.
To the Glory of God and in memory of Frederick Howard Skidmore, Mayor of Wolverhampton 1913-14 who died 14th July 1920 and also of Sarah his wife who died 14th January 1939.
James Powell & Sons, situated on the site of the former Whitefriars monastery, between the Thames and Fleet Street, was producing mainly flint glass when it was bought in 1834 by James Powell, a London wine merchant. On his death the firm passed to his three sons Arthur, Nathaniel and James Cotton Powell, who in 1844 established a stained glass department. The latter benefitted from the scientific researches of Charles Winston, a lawyer by profession, who had dedicated himself to the study of medieval stained glass. It had made him aware of the shortcomings of the glass available to contemporary artists, this being often thin and garish in colour. In 1847 he encouraged experiments aimed at rediscovering the chemical components of medieval glass and persuaded the firm of James Powell & Sons to produce 'antique' glass to his recipes. It was mainly due to this collaboration that the firm was to become one of the most important studios and glass manufacturers of the Victorian period.
St.Peter's, South Weald, is a large parish church which seems out of place in the small village that is South Weald today. It was formerly the parish church of nearby Brentwood and also formerly served the Harold Hill area.
www.flickr.com/photos/barryslemmings/sets/72157594283793202/ is a whole set about this church,
A principal landowner is the area in Saxon times was King Harold, killed at Hastings in 1066. The present church dates from the 12th century at least when it had a nave and chancel on the site of the present south aisle. The north aisle was added in the 13th century and the tower was built at the beginning of the 16th century. An extensive rebuilding took place in 1868 to the plans of architect S. S. Teulon. The north aisle was converted into the nave and chancel.
The font dates to 1662 and has a finely carved cover of later date. From 1868 until 1946 the Tower family of nearby Weald Hall [now demolished] had a private chapel in the church but this was converted into a war memorial and marks the death [among others] of two members of the Tower family in WW1.
The family kept a deer park from which the deer escaped in WW2 and took up residence in the area. The Tower family's interest in deer is marked by a stained glass window dedicated to the hunter saint, St Hubert. There is some 15th century Flemish glass high up in the tower but the rest is Victorian or later.
St Peter and St Paul dates from Saxon and Norman times. The door dates from the 13th century. There is a painting of St Christopher dates from the 15th century, and a brass of John Weston who died in 1440.
In 1839 Henry Drummond of Albury Park, began to build two new churches to replace the old parish church. The new Catholic Apostolic Church, near Sherbourne, was to accommodate his fellow Catholic Apostolics. This one, the new Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, was built in the hamlet now known as Albury. The Catholic Apostolic Church was completed in 1840 and this one the following year.
The closure of the old church allowed Drummond to commission Pugin to design a mortuary chapel in its south transept. The old church is now maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust

St Peter's is a rebuilt Tudor church that was dedicated in 1517, the year of Luther's Articles. It must rank among England's last medieval churches before the Reformation. Its patron was Sir Edmund Tame, whose father built St Mary's, Fairford.
The exterior is conventional Perpendicular, with heavy battlements and tower pinnacles, and the churchyard contains a display of chest tombs.
Inside, the 12th century font of the Herefordshire School has twelve apostles - or rather eleven with one left blank for Judas. Another, later, font stands by the pulpit.
Rendcomb comprises a nave with south aisle, divided by an arcade with concave-sided octagonal piers, similar to Northleach and Chipping Campden. Buried in the north wall are the remains of an Early Gothic arcade to a lost north aisle, three piers revealed in the plasterwork.
There is no division between nave and chancel, but the chancel roof is distinct, of Victorian sycamore. The rood screen was also a Victorian concoction, using parts of an old screen and with a frieze of cast iron. This structure straddles the chancel and south chapel. The latter has an iron altar rail with the chained swan emblem of the Guise family, who succeeded the Tames as lords of the manor.
Of interest are the corbels, those in the south aisle carved with angels playing instruments and holding heraldic shields.
The east window glass is unremarkable but some 16th century glass survives in the north windows. It has early Renaissance forms which imply a different designer from Fairford, and a later date of c.1520.

St Peter's Church stands above the small village green on a sloping hillside above a small ford. There may have been a church here in the Saxon period, but the current church of St Peter was begun in the 12th century. The oldest part of the church is the lower section of the tower, where you can clearly see a small narrow window common in the early Norman period. The top of the tower is a saddleback design, common to the area near Cirencester.
The tower arch may also be early Norman. The two-bay nave arcade is late Norman, and a good example of Transitional Gothic style. The north aisle is also late Norman, with Early English windows in the west and north-east corner. The porch is also Early English, though it was moved to its current position during a sweeping restoration in 1872. The goblet-shaped font is late Norman, with very attractive foliated decoration around a circular bowl.
Tucked into a corner is a worn stone coffin, dating to the 13th or 14th century. It was discovered built into the churchyard wall and brought inside for preservation. There is a Norman piscina in the chancel, projecting from the south window embrasure. There are good examples of Victorian stained glass throughout the church.
St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City is one of the most popular sights to see when visiting Rome. Admission is free but security check-point lines often seem endless with no simple skip-the-line options. Turn up early in the morning or try to access the church complex directly after seeing the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican Museum. Climb the dome for some of the finest views in Rome.
Of all Wren's City of London churches St Peter Cornhill is one of the least visited, being almost always locked outside services and only accessible by appointment. Fortunately a friend organised exactly that as part of a Flickrmeet in the heart of London, and the church was revealed to be a bit of an Aladdin's Cave of glass and furnishings.
The exterior is difficult to appreciate being tucked away in a courtyard beyond the street, whilst inside many furnishings survive despite the loss of the pews. One of the special qualities of this church is that it escaped the Blitz unscathed (unlike so many of its brethren) and even retains its Victorian glass (for good or for bad) which being so heavy and dark makes one realise how differently many of Wren's better known interiors must have looked prior to the almost wholesale removal of pre-war glass by wartime bombing elsewhere in the city.

St. Peter's Church (Peterskirche), Vienna. Petersplatz 6, 1010 Wien, Austria
The oldest church building (of which nothing remains today) dates back to the Early Middle Ages, and there is speculation that it could be the oldest church in Vienna (See Ruprechtskirche). That Roman church was built on the site of a Roman encampment. A church of Saint Peter in Vienna is first mentioned in 1137. The construction of the new Baroque church was begun around 1701 under Gabriele Montani, who was replaced by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt in 1703. Around the end of the 12th century, the church became part of the Schottenstift.
St. Peter's is set at the foot of the beautiful Wittenham Clumps, near Didcot, Oxfordshire. Nothing in the church gave information about the Star of David over the entrance.
St. Peter's was until recently the largest church ever built and it remains one of the holiest sites in Christendom. Contrary to what one might reasonably assume, St. Peter's is not a cathedral - that honour in Rome goes to the Basilica of St John Lateran.
For the innocent tourist, you will see the famous dome of St Peter ( designed by Michelangelo, who became chief architect in 1546) from far off, so its a natural landmark to head for.
The Via Della Conciliazione is a wide avenue that runs from the River Tiber and the centre of Rome from St Angelo Fort up to St Peter's Square.
If you arrive by Metro, you are about 5 minutes walk through typical Rome streets until you come into St Peter's Square.
Once you arrive at the square, things start to click. This is the square you've seen on the news, and yes there is the balcony the Pope is seen at.
Once you've got the mandatory photographs, its time to think about visiting. The Vatican Museums where the Sistine Chapel is, is a 5/10 minute walk around the Vatican walls. If you think the queues in front of you snaking into St Peter's are long, odds are the Vatican Museums are longer and slower moving. So do read our Vatican logistics page and have an informed strategy in place for one of the main reasons you come all this way to Rome.

The Parish Church of St Peter in Tiverton, Devon, UK. The first stone church on this site was consecrated in 1073. Obviously major additions and changes took place over the centuries - the church sustained a lot of damage in the Civil War and was enlarged in the 19th Century.
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 at Church Lawford is medieval in origin, but what we see today is a mostly Victorian structure by Slater & Carpenter (built 1871-3) and quite a handsome building. The only medieval part is the north arcade inside and a plain blocked Norman south door, the exterior is otherwise wholly the result of the Victorian rebuilding. Externally there are some eye catching carved adornments and the fine west tower is a good local landmark, prominently sited to be visible from the nearby railway (the sight of it has welcomed me home on numerous occasions over the years).
Inside the church is rather spacious, if a little grey owing to the unpainted or grey-washed render that lines its walls. The remaining medieval part is apparent in the late 14th century north nave arcade with its banded piers of alternating coloured stonework. The Victorian south arcade happily follows a similar design in order to give harmony to the interior. Alas there is little else to see of the pre-Victorian church aside from the rather plain font and some intriguing 17th century carved woodwork in the chancel (dated 1618) and the pulpit of similar date (alas I didn't get photos of this or the architectural remnants under the tower as time was limited). There is much late Victorian or early 20th century glass in the chancel and north aisle, with an east window by Kempe and several fine windows by Heaton, Butler & Bayne.
I'd first got into this church many years ago by luckily stumbling across a keyholder. It is still kept locked now but on this occasion a group visit enabled me to revisit. Unfortunately the casual visitor is unlikely to get inside without prior arrangement, a pity as it does reward a visit.

————————————
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'S CHURCH WAS BUILT IN 1850 TO MEET AN INCREASING DEMAND FOR A CHURCH ON THE NORTH EASTERN SIDE OF CHORLEY. IT WAS CONSECRATED ON ST MARK'S DAY 1851 BY THE FIRST BISHOP OF MANCHESTER, THE RT. REVD. JAMES PRINCE LEE. THE ARCHITECT WAS CHARLES REED OF LIVERPOOL.
STONE FOR THE BUILDING WAS DONATED BY LADY HOGHTON FROM HER QUARRY AND LOCAL FARMERS TRANSPORTED THE STONE WITHOUT CHARGE. THE TOTAL COST OF THE BUILDING CAME TO £2,131
THE ARCHITECT DESIGNED A CHURCH WITH SEATING FOR 450, EARLY ENGLISH STYLE, WITH A NAVE, CLERESTORY, TWO AISLES, CHANCEL, NORTH PORCH, VESTRY AND BELFRY TURRET AT THE WEST END OF THE NORTH AISLE.
The nave looking east.
There is evidence of a church building dating from 840 AD, the earliest remains being St Peter holding the keys to Heaven over the south door.
The current building dates from the 12th century.
Church records began in 1538 and are the earliest in the county.
The churchyard was closed in 1915.
Both the south and north doors are Norman, as is the font, thought to be part of the original church.
Along the west wall was once a musicians' gallery on which the organ was installed. It was removed and, in its place, is the so-called 'musicians' window' dedicated to St Cecilia, the patron saint of music.
The north aisle was added in the 13th century. Here lies the 'Avenbury Knight', a 13th century effigy from the now ruined St Mary's Church, Avenbury (one of the oldest churches in England, closed in 1931). Also in the north aisle can be found the 'Bromyard Bushel'. Made in 1670 from cast iron, this was the standard measure for grain.
Near the knight and bushel is a copy of Professor Edward Hull's description of the world's history - measuring 7 metres long! It depicts history from Adam and Eve to Queen Victoria and was published in the 1890s.
The oldest window in the church dates from around 1300. The glass itself is late 19th century and is dedicated to Rev. William Cooke.
The original chancel was extended in the 14th century. To the left is the pulpit, made in 1883 from wood of a much earlier design.
The organ dates from 1839. It was moved from its original position to the chancel in 1875. Modifications were made in 1978 and it was restored in 2013.
The south aisle chapel - not the Lady Chapel! - contains Bromyard's official war memorial. The chapel was dedicated in 1919, just months after the end of World War I.
There are a number of recesses around the walls of the church which once contained the tombs of wealthy or important people, dating to the 14th century.
