Cambridge - St John's College Chapel
The Chapel of St John's College is entered by the north west-corner of First Court, and was constructed between 1866 and 1869 to replace the smaller, mediaeval chapel which dated back to the 13th century. When in 1861 the college's administration decided that a new building was needed, Sir George Gilbert Scott was selected as architect. He had recently finished work on the chapel at Exeter College, Oxford, and went about constructing the chapel of St John's College along similar lines, drawing inspiration from the Church of Saint Chapelle in Paris.
The benefactor Henry Hoare offered a downpayment of £3000 to finance the chapel's construction, in addition to which he promised to pay £1000 a year if a tower were added to Scott's original plans, which had included only a small fleche. Work began, but Mr Hoare's death in a railway accident left the college £3000 short of his expected benefaction. The tower was completed, replete with louvres but left without bells. It is based on Pershore Abbey.[16] The tower is 50 metres high, and is the tallest structure in Cambridge (followed by the Cambridge University Library and King's College Chapel).
The Chapel's antechamber contains statues of Margaret Beaufort and John Fisher. Inside the building is a stone-vaulted antechapel, at the end of which hangs a 'Deposition of the Cross' by Anton Rafael Mengs, completed around 1777. The misericordes and panelling date from 1516, and were salvaged from the old chapel. The chapel contains some fifteenth-century glass, but most was cast by Clayton and Bell, Hardman, and Wailes, in around 1869.[10] Freestanding statues and plaques commemorate college benefactors such as James Wood, Master 1815–39, as well as alumni including William Wilberforce, Thomas Clarkson and William Gilbert. The college tower can be climbed, and is accessed via a small door on First Court. However, this access was closed in 2016 for the duration that important structural repairs were carried out to the tower Pinnacles and roof.
The Chapel is surrounded on three sides by large tabernacles which form part of the external buttresses. Each contains a statue of a prominent college alumnus, alumna or benefactor. The persons commemorated are, beginning with the buttress next to the transept on the south side:
Sir William Cecil, Lord Burleigh Lucius, Viscount Falkland John Williams, Archbishop of York Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford William Gilbert, natural philosopher Roger Ascham, instructor to Elizabeth I Mary Cavendish, Countess of Shrewsbury Richard Bentley, classicist Edward Stillingfleet, bishop of Worcester John Overall, Bishop of Coventry, Lichfield and Norwich Peter Gunning, Bishop of Chichester and Ely Sarah Alston, Duchess of Somerset Thomas Clarkson, abolitionist Brook Taylor, natural philosopher and mathematician Thomas Linacre, founder of the Royal College of Physicians Two plinths left vacant Thomas Baker, historian
Prince Charles compares himself to 900 year old cathedral with 'bits falling off'
Prince Charles compares himself to 900-year-old cathedral with 'bits falling off'.
PRINCE Charles joked he was like a 900-year-old cathedral with “bits falling off it” as he toured a new exhibition of its splendours. The 69-year-old prince was full of praise for Durham Cathedral's £10m Open Treasure exhibition where the priceless St Cuthbert's Pectoral Cross is on view.
The bejewelled artefact was thought to have been buried with Cuthbert in the 7th Century and laid untouched for 1,200 years until it was found hidden in his robes in 1827.
Charles walked through the 14th Century Monks' Dormitory, beamed with 21 oaks, and which would once have accommodated 40 monks.
He praised the cathedral authorities, sponsors and fundraisers for their efforts in preserving their “great treasures”.
There was laughter as he spoke of their hard work “maintaining a cathedral and stopping the bits falling off it, which, as I reach an increasing age...
Earlier, he was given a card for Prince Harry and his fiancee Meghan Markle by pupils from The Chorister School, which featured a flower made from the children's thumb-prints.

ST GEORGE'S Parish dating from 1300s, oldest Church in Belfast
I'm down in city centre Belfast on High Street, near the famous Albert Clock, to visit Belfast's oldest congregation, that worships in St George's Church of Ireland.
The Parish Church of Saint George, Belfast, more commonly known as St. George's Church, Belfast, is a Church of Ireland church located on High Street in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is the oldest Church of Ireland church in Belfast. It was designed by Irish architect, John Bowden, and opened in 1816.
The church stands on what had been a fording place where the River Lagan and River Farset met. The earliest mention of a place of worship existing on this site is in the papal taxation rolls of 1306. The Chapel of the Ford was a chapel of ease of the main parish church at Shankill, and was constructed here for those waiting to cross the mud flats which covered most of the area that has since become central Belfast. The chapel later became known as Corporation Chapel after the newly founded Belfast Corporation.
By the time of the Plantation of Ulster, the church had become the main parish church for the area. In 1613 James I of England granted a charter to Belfast as a key garrison town in the plantation, and St. George's became the 'corporation' church. William of Orange passed through Belfast on his way from Carrickfergus to the Battle of the Boyne, and had a famous sermon, Arise Great King, preached to him here.
By the late 18th century, however, the church had fallen into disrepair and the Earl of Chichester, the dominant local landowner, gave land for a new parish church for Belfast to be built on a more expansive site a few hundred metres away on Donegall Street. This church would later become St Anne's Cathedral. Henry Joy McCracken, a leading member of the Society of the United Irishmen and 1798 rebellion was buried in the churchyard after being hanged, before later being moved to Clifton Street Cemetery. However, by the 1800s, the growth of industrial Belfast necessitated a second Anglican church being built, and a new St. George's was built on the old site, opening in 1816. Throughout the 19th century, the church had a series of rectors known for their flamboyant style, and in the early 20th century, St. George's developed its distinct High Church ethos. The movement of people out of the City Centre in the 20th century saw the congregation drop, and during The Troubles, the church was seriously damaged on a number of occasions by Provisional Irish Republican Army bombs.
St. George's continues to be noted for its liturgical and musical tradition – it has one of the few men's and boys' church choirs in Ireland. Its ministry, both to the business community and to Belfast's homeless population, are an important part of parish life. St. George's has a diverse congregation, drawing members from different religious, cultural and social backgrounds.
Built mostly of Scrabo sandstone. The west end, facing High Street, has a large Corinthian pillared portico, giving the impression that it is a two storied building. The portico was originally made to order in Egypt for Frederick Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry, to adorn the main entrance of Ballyscullion House in County Londonderry, built in 1788. After the Earl died in 1803, the house was gradually dismantled and the portico was bought and transported to Belfast. To reach its new home, the portico was initially hauled by horse and cart to Lough Neagh. From there it went by barge, reputedly the first barge cargo brought to Belfast from Lough Neagh by the new Lagan Canal Navigation (now disused). The coats of arms on the pediment are of the Diocese of Down and the city of Belfast.
St. George's was the first Anglican church in Ireland to introduce Harvest Thanksgiving, musical recitals in church, early morning celebrations of the Holy Communion, a robed choir, drama in church, the Christmas Midnight Eucharist, the Three Hours Devotions on Good Friday, and to adopt the 1984 Alternative Prayer Book of the Church of Ireland.

Chichester Cathedral Tapastry, by John Piper artist :
Richard is the patron saint of the county of Sussex in England. Since 2007, his translated saint's day, 16 June, has been celebrated as Sussex Day.
It was generally believed that miracles were wrought at Richard's tomb in Chichester cathedral, which was long a popular place of pilgrimage, and in 1262 he was canonized at Viterbo by Pope Urban IV. His feast day is on 3 April in the West, but because this date generally falls within Lent or Eastertide this is normally translated to 16 June in some provinces of the Anglican Communion which venerates St. Richard more widely than does the Roman Catholic Church. Richard furnished the chronicler, Matthew Paris, with material for the life of St. Edmund Rich, and instituted the offerings for the cathedral at Chichester which were known later as St. Richard's pence. During the episcopate of the first Anglican bishop of Chichester, Richard Sampson, King Henry VIII of England, through his Vicar-General, Thomas Cromwell ordered the destruction of the Shrine of St. Richard in Chichester cathedral in 1538. See more:
The history of Chichester Cathedral begins in 681 when Saint Wilfrid brought Christianity to Sussex and established a Cathedral in Selsey, a small community south of Chichester. After 1066 the Norman policy was that cathedrals should be moved from small communities to larger centres of population. In 1075 the Council of London established the See of Chichester and in 1076 the building of the present cathedral in Chichester was begun under Bishop Stigand. It was completed under Bishop Luffa in time for its dedication to the Holy Trinity in 1108.
Richard was born, 1197, in the little town of Wyche, eight miles from Worcester, England. He and his elder brother were left orphans when young, and Richard gave up the studies which he loved, to farm his brother's impoverished estate. His brother, in gratitude for Richard's successful care, proposed to make over to him all his lands; but he refused both the estate and the offer of a brilliant marriage, to study for the priesthood at Oxford. In 1235 he was appointed, for his learning and piety, chancellor of that University, and afterwards, by St. Edmund of Canterbury, chancellor of his diocese. He stood by that Saint in his long contest with the king, and accompanied him into exile. After St. Edmund's death Richard returned to England to toil as a simple curate, but was soon elected Bishop of Chichester in preference to the worthless nominee of Henry III. The king in revenge refused to recognize the election, and seized the revenues of the see. Thus Richard found himself fighting the same battle in which St. Edmund had died. He went to Lyons, was there consecrated by Innocent IV. in 1245, and returning to England, in spite of his poverty and the king's hostility, exercised fully his episcopal rights, and thoroughly reformed his see. After two years his revenues were restored. Young and old loved St. Richard. He gave all he had, and worked miracles, to feed the poor and heal the sick; but when the rights or purity of the Church were concerned he was inexorable. A priest of noble blood polluted his office by sin; Richard deprived him of his benefice, and refused the king's petition in his favor. On the other hand, when a knight violently put a priest in prison, Richard compelled the knight to walk round the priest's church with the same log of wood on his neck to which he had chained the priest; and when the burgesses of Lewes tore a criminal from the church and hanged him, Richard made them dig up the body from its unconsecrated grave, and bear it back to the sanctuary they had violated. Richard died in 1253, while preaching, at the Pope's command, a crusade against the Saracens.

SANSARA | Ceasing - Joe Bates (LIVE)
The world premiere performance of Joe Bates' piece 'Ceasing', commissioned for our choral-electronic project Vox Machina and performed at St Bartholomew-the-Great, London as part of the Barbican Centre's Sound Unbound festival in May 2019.
Text:
In the cab, I can hardly bear to face the driver.
Do I cry, so he knows, or lock my eyes upon the road ahead?
As we creep through traffic, I track the time as though she’s waiting on a given hour,
As if she’s going to meet me there, as if she’s going to wait for me.
When I arrived, she was already dead.
There isn’t much else that I remember.
The priest took too long,
I didn’t know how to pray,
She seemed so small, such a small thing.
What did I miss?
Was there some last coherence?
Some glimpse of pain, a grimace?
Random tremors, monitors chiming,
Rattling breath, gasping, sagging, a clouding,
A ceasing, not a parting.
Perhaps a fading, too?
Unconscious for hours, or confused.
It was when we heard / When they called / When I saw a foreign number come up / when the machines turned off
We knew / I knew for the first time / had known for years / for the first time since the stroke / for hours / for a while
We were no longer needed / we couldn’t help at all
But when she was sick / because when she was in hospital / in the home she hated
There was somewhere to congregate
Now we have to find new markers
Her grave / his ashes /best to forget him / his favourite joke / the anniversary match / that time over Easter when we almost died laughing

Joe Bates is a composer and curator, and artistic director Filthy Lucre. His work has been internationally-recognised by major competitions such as MATA Festival and the London Symphony Orchestra Panufnik Scheme. His work is programmed in venues across London, from established festivals like Occupy the Pianos at St. John’s Smith Square and the Barbican’s Sound Unbound programme, to independent music nights and theatre. It has been described as a work ‘made with brilliant material,’ whose ‘result was utterly uncanny.’ (New York Classical Review) He also performs his own music as an electronic artist. His recent electronic EP, Flim Flam, was described by composer Dominic Murcott as “quirky and floating somewhere between classical music and electronica.”

A proprietary chapel is a chapel that originally belonged to a private person, but with the intention that it would be open to the public, rather than restricted (as with private chapels in the stricter sense) to members of a family or household, or members of an institution. Generally, however, some of the seating - sometimes a substantial proportion—would be reserved for subscribers. In 19th century Britain they were common, often being built to cope with urbanisation. Frequently they were set up by evangelical philanthropists with a vision of spreading Christianity in cities whose needs could no longer be met by the parishes. Some functioned more privately, with a wealthy person building a chapel so they could invite their favourite preachers. They are anomalies in English ecclesiastical law, having no parish area, but being able to have an Anglican clergyman licensed there. Historically many Anglican churches were proprietary chapels. Over the years they have often been converted into normal parishes (for example Redland Parish Church in Bristol).
During the first half of the nineteenth century proprietary chapels flourished in Belgravia, Bath, and other fashionable resorts. They were extra-parochial, and were often run on a commercial basis, supported by pew-rents and sometimes built over wine vaults ... An ingratiating preacher, preferably an invalid ..., a well-nourished verger, and genteel pew-openers did their best to attract the quality ... An advertisement from the Times (1852) gives a good idea of the ethos of the proprietary chapel A young man of family, evangelically disposed, and to whom salary is no object, may hear of a cure in a fashionable West End congregation by addressing the Reverend A.M.O. at Hatchards, Boosellers, Piccadilly.
Today there are still a number of functioning Anglican churches which are proprietary chapels, including one in Avonwick in Devon; Christ Church, Bath; Emmanuel Church, Wimbledon; St John's Downshire Hill Hampstead; and St James' Ryde on the Isle of Wight.
St Mary's Church, Castle Street, Reading (not to be confused with the larger but similarly named Minster Church of St Mary the Virgin, which is only a few yards away) is an extant church which formerly functioned as a proprietary chapel within the Anglican Church, but now forms part of the Church of England (Continuing).
St John the Evangelist's Church, Chichester is a redundant church which is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust but it is still used for concerts and occasional services.
St John's Chapel, Bedford Row (demolished 1863) was formerly a proprietary chapel.

A day out in Chichester.
Me and my Sister took the bus to Chichester to visit the Cathedral and go round a few of the shops.
Sorry for the shaky footage, I need to find a program that allows me to stabilise the recording and maybe a better camera for it too. I'm using the Go Pro here but maybe I need to look for a better vlogging camera.

The Church of St. Mary - Easebourne - Church of England - Ensk kirkja
St Mary's Easebourne - Church of England - Midhurst, West Sussex, GU29 OAH - A beautiful church in lovely setting on the Cowdray Park Estate. Easebourne village, is a half a mile from the bridge over River Rother on the cross-roads located in the heart of the South Downs National Park, on the outskirts of Midhurst West Sussex England - surrounded by some of the finest British countryside. Easebourne pronounced Ezborn, is a village and civil parish in the Chichester District of West Sussex, England. The village contains several old houses but they have all been more or less reconditioned or in some cases rebuilt by the Cowdray Estates. Many of the buildings in the area around Easebourne and Midhurst have these distinctive yellow window frames, which signify that the buildings belong to the local Cowdray Estate.

St Mary’s Easebourne sits at the heart of the South Downs National Park. Set in stunning countryside and within the historic village of Easebourne, the church places itself at the heart of community life. See more:
The church of ST. MARY, formerly also the conventual church of the priory, stands at the gate of Cowdray Park on the east side of the village; the tower is of rubble, the modern exterior work of hammer-dressed ashlar, the dressings are of freestone, and the roofs tiled. To a nave and chancel of the 11th century there was added in the 12th a narrow north aisle and tower. In the 13th, on the establishment of the priory, the chancel was rebuilt, the east part of the nave was enclosed by walls to form the nuns' choir, and the north aisle was widened to its present dimensions for parish use. After the Suppression in the 16th century, the roofs of the nuns' choir and chancel were removed; that of the latter was replaced in 1830 to form a tombhouse, that of the former in 1876, when its former dividing walls were removed and the present chancel and organ chamber were added. he Montague tomb-house (modern except the south wall, which is part of the priory building) has in its east wall a doorway and a three-light window in late-13th-century style; on the west it opens into the former nuns' choir by an arch of two orders, the inner moulded, resting on semi-octagonal responds with moulded caps and bases in a rather nondescript Gothic style. The marble and alabaster monument of Anthony, Viscount Montague (died 1592) and his two wives occupies the east end of this building, whither it was removed from Midhurst (and its structure considerably altered) in 1851. It is in two stages; the eastern, the higher, has three semicircular arches supporting a slab on which, before a cubical block bearing his epitaph, kneels the effigy of the viscount, bareheaded, bearded, and wearing a ruff and the mantle and collar of the Order of the Garter over armour of the tasset period. On the lower stage, west of this, rest the effigies of his two wives, Jane Ratcliffe and Margaret Dacre, in mantles and kirtles; on the front of this stage, which is in the form of a chest tomb, are their epitaphs; at each end are small kneeling effigies of their descendants, some headless.On the outside of the south wall of the former nuns' choir and nave (the distinction between them has been obliterated) is a Mass dial; west of it are a modern three-light window in 14th-century style and the remains of the original south doorway, now blocked but showing part of a semicircular arch; immediately west of this is the present south doorway, of the 13th century, formerly the nuns' entrance to their choir, having a pointed arch on plain jambs; next are a lancet window in 13th-century style and a three-light window with Perpendicular tracery, both modern.
That the original church of Easebourne was a pre Conquest 'hundredal' church, like that of Singleton, is probable from its having attached to it in 1291, and as late as 1535, the chapels of Midhurst, Fernhurst, Lodsworth, and Todham. The earliest reference to it is in a deed of c. 1105, by which Savaric fitz Cane and Muriel his wife gave the church of 'Isenburne' to the Norman Abbey of Séez. If this grant was effective the church must have been recovered by one of Savaric's successors, as in the 13th century the founder of Easebourne Priory (probably Sir John de Bohun) gave the church to the nuns, by whom it was held in 1291. There are four bells; one by Roger Landen (c. 1450) inscribed Te Deum Laudamus; one of the 16th century—sancta anna ora pro nobis; and two by William Eldridge, 1677. See more:
