  • Sundials, Solar Rays, and St Paul's Cathedral
    Extract from: Babylonian London, Nimrod, and the Secret War Against God by Jeremy James, 2014. Sundials, Solar Rays, and St Paul's Cathedral Since London is a Solar City – with St Paul's Cathedral representing the "sun" – we should expect to find evidence of solar rays , the symbolic use of Asherim to depict the radiant, life-sustaining power of the sun. Such a feature would seem to be required by the Babylonian worldview, where Asherim are conceived as conduits of hidden power, visible portals through which the gods radiate their "beneficent" energies into the universe. The spires and towers of 46 churches are aligned with the center of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, creating 23 "solar rays". I was already familiar with this idea from my research into the monuments of Dublin, where church steeples and other Asherim are aligned in radial fashion around the "sun," the huge modern obelisk known as the Millennium Spire. As it happens, a total of 23 "solar rays" pass through the center of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, based on the alignment of churches alone . Thus, in the diagram above, two churches sit on each line. If other types of Asherim are included – such as obelisks, monoliths, columns and cemetery chapels – the number is substantially greater. [The 46 churches in question are listed in the table below .] 1 www.zephaniah.eu The churches comprising the 23 "rays" emanating from St Paul's Cathedral 1 St Stephen's, Westbourne Park St Paul's Cathedral St Michael's Cornhill 2 All Souls Langham Place St Paul's Cathedral St Paul's Shadwell

  • Sir Christopher Wren and the Rebuilding of the City Churches After the Great Fire of London Transcript
    Sir Christopher Wren and the Rebuilding of the City Churches after the Great Fire of London Transcript Date: Tuesday, 30 June 2015 - 6:00PM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall 30 June 2015 From Astronomy to Architecture: Sir Christopher Wren, Gresham College, And the Rebuilding of the City Churches After the Great Fire of London Anthony Geraghty I would like to begin my lecture with another lecture delivered in Gresham College. This other lecture was delivered in 1657, obviously not in this room, but within the very institution that was kind enough to invite me to speak to you this evening. That other occasion was the inaugural lecture of the ninth Gresham Professor of Astronomy. His name was Christopher Wren and he was 25 years old. This was his first academic position and great things were expected of him; he was, as John Evelyn put it, a ‘miracle of a youth’. Wren, who was to live for another 66 years, is best known as the architect of St Paul’s Cathedral, the City of London churches, numerous royal palaces, and much else besides. Before all this achievement in architecture, however, he enjoyed a distinguished career as a scientist – what the period termed a mathematician. To be a mathematician in the seventeenth century denoted a wider range of interests than it does today, and this was especially true of Wren. It was as an astronomer that he built his academic career, but his academic interests’ encompassed cosmology, mechanics, microscopy, surveying, medicine and meteorology. He published comparatively little, but his contemporaries regarded him as one of the foremost scientists of the age, praised by no less a figure than Isaac Newton.

  • City of London Churches Introduction All Hallows by the Tower
    City of London Churches Introduction The following pages are a series of written by Mark McManus about some of his favourite churches in the City of London All Hallows by the Tower Barking Abbey, the remains of which still be seen, was founded by Erkenwald in the year 666. Owning land on the eastern edge of the City, the Abbey constructed the Saxon church of All Hallows Berkyngechirche on Tower Hill in 675. Over the centuries, the name mutated to All Hallows Barking. The exterior of the building is quite large and imposing, but its different architectural styles bring attention to its historic troubles: medieval masonry dominated by the brown brickwork of the post-Blitz restoration, its tower of 1659 being a rare example of a Cromwellian rebuild. Despite the somewhat forbidding exterior, the inside of the church is a spacious and light surprise. This is due mostly to Lord Mottistone's post-WWII rebuild, which replaced the previously gloomy Norman nave with concrete and stone, blending well with the medieval work of the aisles with a grace that the cluttered exterior can only dream off. The plain east window allows light to flood into the church, and the glass placed in the recently reopened southern entrance also helps to maintain this airy atmosphere. All Hallows is eager to tell its story. As you first step in through the main entrance in Great Tower Street, you are greeted by a large facsimile showing Vischer's famous engraving of pre- Great Fire London seen from the South Bank, and a gift shop which is the largest I've seen in a City church.

  • Contested Legitimacy and the Ambiguous Rise of Vestries in Early
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Repository@Nottingham 1 CONTESTED LEGITIMACY AND THE AMBIGUOUS RISE OF VESTRIES IN EARLY MODERN LONDON* J.F. Merritt University of Nottingham Abbreviated title for running head: ‘Rise of London’s Vestries’ ABSTRACT Studies of the rise of London’s vestries in the period to 1640 have tended to discuss them in terms of the inexorable rise of oligarchy and state formation. This article re-examines the emergence of the vestries in several ways, moving beyond this traditional focus on oligarchy, and noting how London’s vestries raised much broader issues concerning law, custom, and lay religious authority. The article reveals a notable contrast between the widespread influence and activities of London vestries and the questionable legal framework in which they operated. The political and ecclesiastical authorities—and in particular Archbishop Laud-- are also shown to have had very mixed attitudes towards the legitimacy and desirability of powerful vestries. The apparently smooth and relentless spread of select vestries in the pre-war period is also shown to be illusory. The granting of vestry ‘faculties’ by the authorities ceased abruptly at the end of the 1620s, amid a series of serious legal challenges, on both local and ideological grounds, to the existence of vestries. Their rise had thus been seriously contested and stymied well before the upheavals of the 1640s, although opposition to them came from multiple sources—Laudians, Henry Spelman and the royal Commission on Fees, and local parishioners—whose objectives could vary. 2 ____________________________________________________ The rise of ‘vestries’--that is, new decision-making bodies within parishes, whose members formed a self-selecting elite--is a familiar feature of the early modern historical landscape.

THE ^artsl) Registers OF &L jftlarp atoermarp, LONDON, CONTAINING THE Carriages, baptisms, an* burials PROM 1558 TO 1754. EDITED BY JOSEPH LEMUEL CHESTER, LL.D., EDITOR OF THE WESTMINSTER ABBEY REGISTERS, ETC. LONDON 1880, PREFACE. The Registers of St. Mary Alderniary are happily in a good state of preservation, and their contents are of the character usual with those of the old London parishes. Perhaps the most notable entry in them is that of the marriage of the poet Milton, 24 February, 1662-3, but a very large portion of them relate to the families of merchants and professional men who bore a more or less conspicuous part in the history of the City and of their times. It appears to have been the custom to make yearly lists of the inhabit- ants of the parish, with additional particulars as to their occupation, Eeligious faith, and the numbers of their respective families. Two of these lists, for the years 1733 and 1734, were transcribed into the Parish Register, and it has been thought best to reproduce them in this volume, on account of their value as illustrating the Register itself, and as furnish- ing details which do not appear elsewhere. They will be found on pages 235-238. On pages 231-234 will also be found three of the formal Renunciations of the Romish faith common to the period, which were also transcribed into the Register.
