St Peter and St Paul, Kimpton - Church of England
Parts of St Peter and St Paul's church date from as early as the thirteenth century and there are some very fine brasses and tombs
a spacious flint-built parish church in the unusual transitional style between Norman and Early English. The Dacre Chapel has a fine Perpendicular screen, and the remains of early wall paintings in the chancel show St Christopher and the Seven Corporal Works of Mercy.
This is St. Peter in Chains Cathedral, the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati, located along Plum Street in Downtown Cincinnati. Designed by architect Henry Walter, it was built between 1841 and 1845, the Greek Revival-style Church was the first Church of its size west of the Appalachian Mountains, and was built when the city was the only major population center not on the east coast. The church features a single white limestone spire above the main entry, with minimal details, which rises 224 feet above Plum Street, which was the tallest structure in the city for much of the 19th Century. Below the spire and around the front entryway is a colonnade 33 feet high, which encloses the portico on the front of the church, and Corinthian capitals that are unique in their appearance. The interior features Greek-themed mosaics, Corinthian columns, and large bronze doors, which sets it apart from most other Catholic cathedrals in the United States. The church is the third to be home to the diocese, having been originally located in the city’s first Catholic Church, known as Christ Church, before moving to the old St. Peter’s Cathedral in 1826. Within a decade, the old church was too small for the growing Catholic population of the city, and plans for the current church were put forth. By the 1930s, however, the church had become dilapidated and needed many repairs, leading to the diocese moving uptown to St. Monica’s Church in CUF in 1938, and the church’s decline continued for the next decade and a half as it was used as a parish church. However, in the mid-1950s, major work was undertaken on the structure under the leadership of Archbishop Karl Joseph Alter, and the church was restored, renovated, and expanded, modernizing the old structure and allowing the archdiocese to return to it, with rededication as a cathedral occurring in 1957. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and continues to be the seat of the Catholic Church in Cincinnati, which has long had a large Catholic population and is home to many spectacular parish churches and institutional buildings associated with the church.
Heritage weekend now last two weekend and maybe up to four, or more, weekday, meaning that I had the chance to visit some I missed the week before.
The write up on the heritage website sounded interesting, so we were at the door of St Peter just after ten.
After renovation, required when it was discovered that the white paint used inside was not allowing the bricks to breath, upon its removal, this fantastic brickwork was uncovered, and the decision by English Heritage not to put a new coat of paint on, and allow the multi-coloured bricks to be seen.

High on the East cliff overlooking the harbour is a remarkable group of school and church. St Peter's is a shrine of peace and tranquillity and has a real sense of holiness. Built to serve the growing community of the resort, it was originally designed by Richard Hussey in 1862. For the next few years the church became a centre of controversy as its priests tried to introduce ritualistic worship and furnishings. In 1870 the church was extended by the addition of a north aisle and an enlarged chancel to assist ritualism. The day it re opened vestments were introduced. The wonderful blue Rood Screen is made of wrought iron and dates from 1872. It has the image of Christ on its central cross - a symbol that created much controversy when it was erected. In the north aisle are fragments of early glass by Kempe - the rest having been destroyed in a fire in 1996. Nearby is the octagonal font which is fifteenth century and came from one of the Norfolk churches that was demolished due to the incursion of the sea. In a county full of medieval brasses it is interesting to record three small Victorian examples here, to a priest, a sacristan and a nun.
St. Peter's Basilica is a Late Renaissance church located within Vatican City. It is the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture and remains one of the largest churches in the world.
St. Peter’s played host to Pevensey in a first team match in the East Sussex Cricket League on 23 July 2011. The visitors won the toss and elected to bowl first. St. Peter’s scored 190 and then succeeded in bowling out Pevensey for 138 in 38.3 overs.
The St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles Church at Sao Pedro (or Sa Pere as it is locally known) was built about 1543 and is the only surviving parish church of the the eight in the Portuguese Old City of Goa.
St Peter's was founded by the Abbey of Peterborough in the 8th century. It is essentially a harmonious and light filled building of the 13th century. It stands amongst the town and school buildings, tucked away and surrounded by a wealth of Georgian tombstones. The school and the town, with its market, have developed around it.
From a distance its tall slender tower topped by a recessed needle spire, is most prominent. It is the tallest spire in the County.
It contains a 15th century brass lectern, a 17th century brass chandelier, choir stalls by Sir George G Scott and a host of 13th-19th century monuments. It has one of the best stone porches in the county, erected by a rich merchant, Robert Wyatt, around 1485.
East Sussex Cricket League Division 1
St. Peter's won by 7 wickets.
The day started off with the weather looking as unpromising as it possible could be. Thankfully, as the morning wore on, the wind had moved the drizzle on and, by the time the match was due to start, the sun was breaking out through the clouds. A very strong wind remained, however.
St. Peter's won the toss and invited Buxted Park to bat. On a soft pitch, Buxted were never really allowed to get going. They lost an opener in the first over and the second wicket fell with only 10 on the board. From there, they tried to rebuild and added another 47 runs for the loss of two more wickets. However, they then lost three quick wickets to see them on 60 for 7 and half way through the fortieth over, Buxted's last man fell, to leave them 74 all out.
St. Peter's only needed to use three bowlers. Debutant Ben Powis took an impressive 5 for 30, whilst captain Alex Coomber took 4 for 32. These two were well supported by Marco Lincoln, who sent down 6 very economical overs, conceding 8 runs, and taking the remaining wicket. No Buxted batsman made more than 13.
With only 75 need to win, St. Peter's started very positively and scored 9 from the first over. The loss of James Hope was an early set back, but Simon Coe joined Alex Coomber and the pair took St. Peter's to within spitting distance of victory, before losing Coe for 19 and then Coomber for 43. This left two batsmen on nought, but only one run needed to win.

Home win for St. Peter’s
Bells Yew Green 2nd XI: 172 for 9
St. Peter’s CC, Brighton 2nd XI:173 for 6
St. Peter’s won the toss and elected to field.
The match got off to a slightly late start as the visitors had been held up in the horrendous traffic on the A27. The batsmen found that the pitch was rather pudding-like after the torrential rain of the previous day. Whilst the ball was sometimes difficult to get away as it didn’t come on to the bat, a number of deliveries sat up, almost as if in slow motion, begging to be hit.
Bells Yew green lost wickets fairly regular and the scoring rate was slow. The ball was slow across the outfield and boundaries were found most successfully via the aerial route. After 45 overs, the visitors were 172 for 9; keeper Mark Roughly top scoring with 31 not out. Aaron Andrews was the most successful of Saints’ bowlers, picking up 3 for 27 off his 9 overs.
In reply, Chris Killalea and Richard Tongue took 26 off the first three overs, before holing out in successive overs. Danny Andrews and Charlie Norris put on just shy of 100 for the third wicket and put the result beyond doubt, before Andrews was bowled by Vishal Pundir for 42. However, batting was never easy with some deliveries staying very low, which accounted for the wicket of Matt Willard. Norris top scored with 63 not out as the winning runs were scored in the 39th over to give Saints a well-earned win by 4 wickets.
