The swine! We never saw it coming. If only authors were dead. But if authors were dead you wouldn’t be able to find them, to sit at their side and learn all they had to say on art and beautiful things, on who is wrong and who is right, on what is allowed and what is ugly and what should be done about this and that. We would have only words and pictures on a page, if we can’t fill in the periphery with context then how will we understand anything? If they don’t tell us what to enjoy, how to correctly enjoy it, then how will we know? Who is right and who is mad? Whose ideas are poisonous and wrong? Call to arms! Stop that! Help me! We must slather ourselves in their selfish juices.

We are a theologically progressive and adaptable church with a friendly atmosphere. Our lay leaders strive to be truly representative of St. Paul’s and want to know what the people think. There is a hunger for spiritual growth under the leadership of a Rector who can continue the tradition of bringing the best out of St. Paul’s worshiping community. The resources we bring include a beautiful nineteenth century Carpenter Gothic church building which can seat 125 persons – up to 150 on special occasions. The undercroft provides meeting and classroom space. This is complemented by the Parish Hall and kitchen. A New England salt-box house, the former parsonage, built in the1790s, disassembled and shipped round the horn in 1868, provides office and additional meeting space. The congregation counts 240 members with an average Sunday attendance of 115 at two services.

  • Design Option #2 – Construction of an Undercroft Only
    DESIGN OPTION #2 – CONSTRUCTION OF AN UNDERCROFT ONLY In December 2011, the Vestry directed the Steering Committee to explore three alternative designs – renovation of Baxter House; construction of only a new undercroft under the Parish Hall; and, construction of only a new second floor above the Parish Hall. This is a report on the second of those options, construction of only a new undercroft under the Parish Hall. The Design This design calls for full excavation under the Parish Hall. This would necessitate the removal and replacement of the Parish Hall floor. That space would be built out into a new undercroft area, completely committed to our clergy and staff offices. As shown in the accompanying drawings, there would be private offices for the Rector, Assistant Rector and Director of Music; open space work areas for the Youth Director, Parish Administrators and Answering Angels, a conference room, a copy room and an archives/file room. Because the stairs and elevator would not be moved from their current location, there would be no renovation of the current undercroft stair/elevator foyer; however, the current restrooms would be renovated to allow access to the new undercroft. Assessment On the positive side: . all of our programmed office space would fit in the new undercroft; . it would be possible, if we chose, to do some renovations to the parish hall and kitchen; . the current estimated cost of $860,000 in direct construction costs and total project cost of $2.3 million, when compared with the total expected revenue from the campaign and the sale of Baxter House, would give us some money for additional renovations (for example, redecorating of the Parish Hall and renovation of the kitchen) and/or capital improvements; and, .

  • Wells Cathedral, but ‘We Had a Very Listed Building Control
    WELLS 01 PROJECT ARCHITECT: CATHEDRAL Martin Stancliffe, New entry cloister, Education and Music Purcell Miller Tritton Resource Centre, chapter house CATHEDRAL ARCHITECT: undercroft, works yard Peter Bird In some ways, the great medieval cathedrals are dinosaurs: creations of another era, fascinating, impressive and inspiring – but ill-equipped for the demands of the twenty-first century. Yet their continued significance is not to be doubted. Wells attracts some 470,000 visitors a year,170,000 of whom attend one of the 1,730 services, concerts, educational visits and other events organised by the cathedral. That’s almost five events a day, each with its own logistical demands, each attracting a different public. So it is easy to understand why the chapter at Wells had, by the late 1990s, begun to feel as if they were reaching a kind of evolutionary crossroads. There was no safe accommodation for visiting school groups, no disabled access to many areas of the cathedral church itself, and no covered route to the visitors’ toilets. The cathedral shop and restaurant occupied one walk of the medieval cloister; part of the Song School filled another. Girl choristers practised in the chapter house undercroft, which had otherwise become a large storeroom; choirs of both sexes robed here, too. Child protection legislation and the Disability Discrimination Act increased the imperative for change. The status quo was untenable. It took some time for the right solution to emerge. The first scheme was opposed by several consultees. It took all the negotiation skills of the cathedral authorities and planning advisors, including English Heritage and the CFCE, to arrive at the eventual answer – a design which balanced the building’s extraordinary significance with the needs of modern users and which was capable of attracting consent and funding.

  • THE TWELFTH-CENTURY AISLED HALL of LEICESTER CASTLE: a RE-ASSESSMENT Nick Hill
    THE TWELFTH-CENTURY AISLED HALL OF LEICESTER CASTLE: A RE-ASSESSMENT Nick Hill A recent programme of research, accompanied by archaeological excavation and dendrochronology, has confirmed the Great Hall of Leicester Castle as the earliest known standing aisled hall in Britain, now tree-ring dated to 1137–62. It was built for Earl Robert II of Leicester, one of the greatest magnates of the period, probably in the 1150s when he was at the height of his powers. The form of the main twelfth-century roof structure, with timber arcades and a former clerestorey, was established in previous work of the 1980s. The current study has added detailed analysis of the external masonry walls, including the uncovering of two service doorways. Archaeological excavation established that the aisle posts were originally earth-fast. Drawing on earlier documentary study, a revised reconstruction of the original building form is proposed, relating the upper roof structure to the original masonry walls, aisles and floor level. Evidence indicates that a small service building was attached to the north gable, with a detached chamber block located to the south. The relationship of Leicester to other early aisled halls is also explored. INTRODUCTION The Great Hall of Leicester Castle is a remarkable survivor. Of the rest of the extensive castle buildings, which reached their heyday under John of Gaunt in the late fourteenth century, little remains except for parts of two gatehouses. The Great Hall itself underwent major alteration in the early sixteenth century, was entirely re- fronted in the 1690s, subdivided internally in 1821, and further altered and extended in 1858.
