Doll 1 The non-Roman catholicity of the Anglican liturgical tradition, which appeals so much to the Old Catholics, also provides a door for Roman Catholics to a half-forgotten Catholic patrimony. One of the most remarkable features of the pontificate of Benedict XVI was his determination to recover some of richness of liturgical tradition that he believed had been lost in the reforms since Vatican II.1 In 2007 he declared in the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum that both the Novus Ordo post-Vatican II rite of the Mass and the 1962 revision of the Tridentine rite were legitimate forms of the one Roman Rite, thereby breaking at a stroke the tradition that there should be only one version of the Roman Rite for the universal Church.

  • The Life and Times of Sir Ninian Comper
    The Life and Times of Sir Ninian Comper Introduction: I am not an academic so this presentation is purely from my own research with a little help from this well known book on Sir Ninian Comper by Anthony Symondson and Stephen Bucknall (which is very interesting, if a little hard going) and internet searches. So why did I choose Sir Ninian Comper as this year’s subject matter? The reason being is that on first entering this church some 3 years ago I was intrigued by its ornate decoration. It reminded me of the late medieval early Renaissance church decoration I had studied during my History Open University Degree, not the Renaissance work we associate with Italy but work found in northern European towns and cities such as Bruges in Belgium and Lubeck in Germany. But I knew that this work could not possibly be as old as 15th-16th centuries - and it certainly did not look that old. As we all know during the English Reformation the majority of churches were cleared of statues, wall paintings, rood lofts, stained glass windows etc. and although we still see some Medieval and Renaissance work in the cathedrals around the country it is very rare that a parochial church such as Kemsing would to have avoided the destruction Henry VIII and Cromwell dished out in the early 16th century. Eager to find out more I asked a few parishioners and was told a little about Sir Ninian Comper’s restoration and how our little church was lucky enough to obtain the services of such a renowned architect.

All Saints Church, Whiterashes All Saints’ was established by Major John Ramsay, the Laird of Straloch, (1831-1895) as a school and mission church in 1858. The building was designed by James Mathews. The school function ceased after a Board School was set up in Whiterashes in 1876. In the 1890s and early 1900s, the coloured glass windows were created by Sir Ninian Comper. Each window commemorates members or associates of the Ramsay/Irvine family of Straloch. The Straloch family’s close association with the Church was maintained by his sister Christina Ramsay (1833-1905) and by his daughter, Mary who became Mrs Francis Irvine (1859-1938). The church was transferred into the care of the Scottish Episcopal Church in 1880. Sir Ninian Comper Comper was born in Aberdeen, the eldest of five children. He was educated at Kingston College, Aberdeen, Glenalmond School in Perthshire and attended a year at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford.

His fellow-Scot William Bucknall took him into partnership in 1888. 2 Ninian married Grace Bucknall in 1890. They lived in London at The Priory, Beulah Hill, where they entertained friends such as the poet John Betjeman. Comper was knighted by King George VI in 1950. He died in 1960. Comper’s first commission was from his father, Reverend John Comper, who had founded St Margaret’s, Gallowgate, Aberdeen in 1867.
