The left-hand panel depicts The Annunciation. The scroll over Gabriel's head is from the Hail Mary. The symbolic pot of lilies stands near her prayer desk, and as well as the dove descending there appears to be an embryonic Christ bearing a T-shaped cross. This depiction also occurs in fifteenth century Italian pictures.
The right-hand panel shows The Visitation, with Mary on the left, and the scroll containing words from the Magnificat. In the background there is a representation of the fifteenth century church, and a dove in a pine tree which may be related to the legend of the suitors of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the budding rods.

St Peter, Weasenham, Norfolk
A fine if largely rebuilt church set unfortunately close to the busy Swaffham to Cromer road. The interior is of interest, with good 15th Century glass of the Norwich school reset in the north windows, and a rather startling east window by Wiliam Warrington of 1849. There is also glass by Christopher Webb, and an altar revealing the church's Anglo-Catholic past. The church is open every day, and there are good 18th Century memorials in the churchyard.
St Peter's at Church Knowle, Isle of Purbeck in Dorset is a dainty 13th century church but it is likely the site dates back much further as 'Cnolle' is Saxon for a hill. I found it during my holiday in 2010 but I only rediscovered the church guidebook tonight while clearing out tons of old documents. I could thus write a reasonable caption story at last.

The surviving list of rectors dates back to Robert Michel in 1327 but two of these had remarkable records of service - Isaak Chapman was rector of 65 years in the 18th century while John Richards was rector for 52 years from 1781.
Until the 19th century the church was a perfect cruciform plan with a chancel, nave, western tower plus north and south transepts but between 1833 and 1841 the north wall of the nave was demolished and moved out to the line of the end of the north transept. This area was also adapted to take a first storey gallery with box pews.
The nave and the chancel are divided by a stone mural screen, one of eight known to remain in Dorset. In the south transept are parts of two stone coffins thought to be 13th or 14th century.
A substantial monument with brasses remains in what was once the north transept to John Clavell Esq who died in 1609 and his two wives, Myllicent who died in 1571 and his second wife Susan who died in 1618. The actual tomb was ordered and built the year after Myllicent died.
Also known as the Basilica Eudoxiana, it was first rebuilt on older foundations in 432–440 to house the relic of the chains that bound Saint Peter when he was imprisoned in Jerusalem, the episode called the Liberation of Saint Peter. The Empress Eudoxia who received them as a gift from her mother, Aelia Eudocia, presented the chains to Pope Leo I. Aelia Eudocia had received these chains as a gift from Iuvenalis, bishop of Jerusalem.
According to legend, when Leo, while he compared them to the chains of St. Peter's final imprisonment in the Mamertine Prison in Rome, the two chains miraculously fused together.The chains are kept in a reliquary under the main altar in the basilica.
The basilica was consecrated in 439 by Sixtus II.

Organized 1892. Present church was erected in 1918 to replace structure destroyed by cyclone. Lindsay settlers, Germans whose lives centered in the church, furnished much manual labor for the building and saved old windmill towers to be used as reinforcements in concrete. The interior is lavishly decorated with unusual frescoes, stained-glass windows, and carved altars. Swiss artist was Fridolin Fuchs. Architecture is neo-Romanesque. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark--1970.

Churches with Decorative Interior Painting TR
The church dates from the 14th century onwards, and is built in redbrick with ashlar dressings and a slate roof.
There is a western tower, nave, chancel, and vestry. The three stage tower was built in 1606 and set in the wall of the second stage are stones inscribed with the names of the church wardens and builders.
The west door consists of a medieval double arch in a brick surround. Just below the second stage of the tower is a date stone inscribed "1606 Anthone swell".
The nave dates from 1842, and the chancel from 1941.
The chancel arch has late 14th century octagonal imposts but is otherwise 20th century. At the west end of the nave is a timber gallery supported on two turned pillars. All fittings are 19th or 20th century.
The octagonal font is about 1400 with panelled stem and cusped ogee panel tracery to the sites.
In the tower is a rectangular stone plaque bearing the inscription of the construction of the porch in 1522.

St Peter, Creeting St Peter, Suffolk
A fascinating and little-known church in the woods beside the busy A14.
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 Vatican City. St. Peter's is viewed as the grandest church in all of Christendom, and as such, contains some of the most important art and artifacts in the world. It is the final resting place of Saint Peter, himself. Began in 1506 on the sight of an ancient basilica, it was most notably designed by the likes of Michelangelo, Bernini, Donato Bramante, and Carlo Maderno. The interior is completely covered in rich tile mosaics, gold, and marble. One cannot help but feel completely overcome upon entering. The lavish decoration, massive scale, and religious significance truly make an impact on all who enter.
St. Peter's Seminary is a disused Roman Catholic seminary near Cardross, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Designed by the firm of Gillespie, Kidd and Coia, it has been described by the international architecture conservation organisation DOCOMOMO as a modern "building of world significance". It is one of only 42 post-war buildings in Scotland to be listed at Category A, the highest level of protection for a building of "special architectural or historic interest". It has been abandoned since the end of the 1980s, and is currently in a ruinous state. Despite a number of proposals for reuse or renovation of the building, its future remains insecure.
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.

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.
