    St. Columba's Church, Pont Street, London 25

    St. Columba's Church, Pont Street, London 25 St. Columba's Church, Pont Street, London ST. COLUMBA'S is once again a landmark on the London landscape. As one approaches it the strength and majesty of the building are most impressive. The tower, which is crowned with a Cross and the symbol of St. Andrew, calls to mind the old Scottish Tolbooth, and the high archway of the entrance, St. Regulus, St. Andrews. The corner stones of the arch are a block of marble from Iona and a stone from the pre-Reformation Cathedral of St. Andrews ; so that, on entering the church, the people pass between actual parts of the centres of early Christianity in the east and west of Scotland. Above the centre door is a splendid statue of St. Columba standing in his coracle. It is the work of Mr Vernon Hill. He has represented the Saint with his hand raised in blessing upon the many as they enter and leave the building, and, though they may be unaware of it, upon the multitudes who daily pass by in Pont Street. The building is so constructed that on the ground, floor level there is the main vestibule with the Minister's and Deaconess's offices, a small hall or lounge with a kitchen off it and a committee room. Stairways lead up to the church and down to the hall, and there is a lift installed for those who find it difficult to negotiate the stairs. A striking feature of the vestibule, which is floored in Purbeck marble and has pillars of Honiton stone, is the sculptural group of two angels supporting the Scottish Saltire.

    Dear Members of GCCA the Summer Term Has

    Dear Members of GCCA The summer term has begun and with it comes my apologies for the distinct lack of a newsletter last term – however, things have been a little busy, as you will see. The Cathedral Choir had a fabulous Lent term – highlights included the liturgies of Epiphany-tide Procession, Candlemas, a visit to Croydon Minster for our girl choristers where they sang Evensong jointly with the girl choristers and adults of Croydon Minster Choir, Ash Wednesday, a fundraising concert for their tour fund by the girl choristers at St. Nicolas’ Church, Guildford, the girl choristers’ residential weekend at St. Catherine’s School, Bramley, complete with concert, the services of Holy Week and Easter and a five day choir tour to Sanlúcar la Mayor, Cordoba and Sevilla, Spain. As this term begins, twelve of our choristers have just taken part in the English Touring Opera Production of Tosca at G-Live on 2 May, and I have just returned from giving the opening organ recital in the tenth international organ festival in Palma, Mallorca. For me, a personal highlight of last term was the news that I have been accorded the honour of being made a Fellow of the Royal School of Church Music, and this will be presented to me later this calendar year. I hope you enjoy this edition of the newsletter and look forward to seeing you at any of our regular services. Choral Evensong is sung daily (except during choir holidays) on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 5.30 p.m. and on Sundays at 6.00 p.m.

It also includes one parish in a London borough and one in rural West Sussex. In the northeast, it is largely suburban, but moving south and west, there are a number of distinct towns and numerous villages. This part of the diocese has a rural feel, but good road and rail links to London and elsewhere mean that there is much commuting within these areas. The population is just over a million, rising in line with the national rate. Notwithstanding the rural areas, the average population density is above average, both regionally and nationally. The area is rightly perceived as affluent, but there are other perspectives. There are surprisingly high levels of domestic and sexual abuse. The population is quite mobile, but the cost of housing is very high and there are issues of homelessness in the towns.

  • Edward Maufe‟S Finest Church

    Edward Maufe‟S Finest Church

    Welcome to the Church of St Thomas the Apostle, Hanwell. Churches are unlike any other building. They are places for our daily and Sabbath prayers, and a focus for our community and family. They are the places for the important times of our lives, for births, weddings and funerals. They are places of interest and are often a centre for social history, art and music. However, primarily they direct our hearts to the God and the gospel and provide a centre for our interior pilgrimage. As you walk through the church and the surrounding land it is very much like a pilgrimage as so much of the building or artifacts remind you of God. Elain Harwood of English Heritage wrote in 1995 : This is Edward Maufe‟s finest church. Many people regard it as being more successful than his Guildford Cathedral and certainly more cohesive and richly detailed St Thomas‟ was paid for by the demolition of St Thomas‟, Portman Square. This church was in fact on Orchard Street and was built in 1858 by P. C. Hardwick. A reordering scheme was started in 1906 under the architect Arthur Blomfield and in 1911 a new reredos was ordered , designed by Cecil Hare, Bodley‟s last partner and successor to his practice. A drawing by Hare exists showing the reredos although by 1911 the entire funds has not been raised for its manufacture. This reredos was installed at St Thomas, Hanwell in 1934. The 3 manual Walker Organ also came from St Thomas‟ Portman Square. The building stands on land donated by the Earl of Jersey and it was he who laid the Foundation Stone on 8th July 1933.
