Were this purely an architectural monument there would be little need to go further. However, for those on the ground who use the church to worship in, or to gather for community events, its meaning extends beyond all that has been explored so far in this account, into the context of their lives and community and history. Every Church of England church does not just stand in isolation as a place of worship but is also the church of a parish – a geographical area in which there is pastoral care, ministry and service, irrespective of any religious adherence or none. The concerns of a parish should also be the concern of the minister and people of the parish church. It is interesting that in the annual election of churchwardens, the electorate are not just those on the particular church’s electoral roll of church members but all who are on the civil electoral roll of the parish! The Incumbent and churchwardens have a duty and ministry to the whole parish & not just to the members of a given church.

    Roman Road Bow Neighbourhood Forum Local Heritage Report February 2021 1 Heritage Background The area has a significant but undervalued local heritage which is not formally protected. There are many buildings which form an important part of the character of the area by virtue of their connection to local history. They should be preserved and enhanced. National planning policy already protects listed buildings. Tower Hamlets has a local list of ‘non-designated heritage assets’ which are protected in recognition of their heritage status, but not to the same level as nationally listed buildings. The Tower Hamlets context Conservation areas The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Section 69(1) states that a conservation area is “an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance” Conservation Areas in the Neighbourhood Plan Area Fairfield Road Designated in 1989 The area contains locally listed terraces and features the historic and architectural merits of the Grade II listed Bryant and May complex and Bow Garage. It contains half the historic centre of Bromley by Bow and provides the setting for the Parish Church, St Mary Bow Church (Ecclesiastical Grade B listed). Tredegar Square sits within the area formerly known as Mile End Old Town Designated in 1971. ‘The prevailing character of the area is residential, with commercial uses confined in the large part to the main road frontages. Some small shop units and public houses exist within the area, which add to the variety and character of the area.There are a number of public buildings set within the Conservation Area such as schools, churches and the police station.

  • Changes & Chances in Church
    CHANGES & CHANCES IN CHURCH USE Shared Use of Churches as an Alternative to Redundancy and Total Conversion Alexander Hobohm A dissertation submitted in part fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Historic Conservation Oxford Brookes University Department of Planning and University of Oxford Department for Continuing Education 2008 Abstract The Church of England (CofE) is facing a huge challenge in maintaining its stock of church buildings. With current funding patterns falling short of urgent requirements for upkeep and existing redundancy procedures often leading to unsatisfactory results, the dissertation investigates the shared use of churches as an alternative to church redundancies and total conversions of church buildings. The research has been carried out in the light of recent changes in CofE legislation on the sharing of churches and in response to a number of publications and initiatives on the future of church use. Case studies on sharing Anglican churches with the community and with commercial and residential partners, both in urban and rural areas, have been analysed with regards to the impact of shared use on the fabric of the building, on use and spaces, on funding and management and on the community. The research has highlighted that sharing concepts can operate successfully and have a positive effect on concentrating resources and generating additional income for the maintenance of church buildings, while also returning churches to play - once again - a more central role for the community. Small rural churches are likely to opt for flexible arrangements and multi-use of existing areas, while larger urban churches can more easily re-use vacant existing spaces or provide layered arrangements in new structures.

  • History of St Mary Islington
    History of St Mary Islington by S. Allen Chambers, Jr. 1 © St Mary Islington 2017 2 Introduction It is probable that very few, compared with the many all over the world to whom Islington is a familiar name, realize the extent and importance of the ancient parish. The Rev. J. M. Willoughby expressed this senment in The Life of William Hagger Barlow, a 1910 biography of a former vicar of St Mary’s. I read the sentence as I was compleng my own research on this important and ancient parish, part of the commemoraon of the 250th anniversary of the church tower and crypt, and the upcoming 50th celebraon (in 2006) of the main body of the church, rebuilt in 1956. I immediately bonded with Mr. Willoughby, and realized that what he wrote at the beginning of the 20th century is even more pernent at the dawn of the 21st. More people than ever now know and enjoy Islington–witness Upper Street any Friday or Saturday night–but fewer than ever know the extent and importance, much less the history and legends, of its ancient parish. Nor do they know the scenes and stories the soaring spire and sturdy crypt of St Mary’s have witnessed over the centuries. To help the stones speak, to help the spire and crypt inspire, is the purpose of this narrave. It’s a story well worth telling, and–I hope– one worth reading. At the outset, I would like several individuals who have helped me in telling the story: Claire Frankland and Marn Banham at the Islington Local History Centre showed extraodrinary kindness and courtesy, not to menon experse and efficiency, during my several research visits there.
