  • Towards Anglo-Catholicism (1917-1927)
    Chapter Two Towards Anglo-Catholicism (1917-1927) 1 The initial appearance of Eliot’s interest in identi¿ ably Anglo- Catholic matters is to be found in a letter of 1911, when (with the enthusiasm of a young man after his ¿ rst visit to London) he lists the sights he has seen for a friend at home – his cousin, Eleanor Hinkley. Written on Eliot’s return to Paris, he delights in recording that he avoided the conventional sightseer’s destinations: I have just discussed my trip with the prim but nice English lady at the pension. She said ‘And did you go through the Tower? No! Madame Tussaud’s? No! Westminster Abbey? No! …’ What is striking is his account – emphatically, copiously listed – of what he did see: I then said – do you know St. Helens St. StephensSAMPLE St. Bartholomew the Great St. Sepulchre St. Ethelreda [sic].1 All but the last (St Etheldreda, the Roman Catholic church in Ely Place, Holborn, now a centre for the celebration of the traditional Latin Mass) are Anglican City churches, scattered about that famous one square mile.2 Eliot was being mischievous, both to the ‘English lady’ and his cousin, for he later points out that he did indeed visit such predictable sights as the National Gallery and the British Museum, although, again, we notice that this later, less eccentric list includes the most important of City churches, St Paul’s Cathedral. While there may be something here, in embryo, of the Anglo- Catholic delight in church inspections, Eliot would have been even © 2010 The Lutterworth Press Two: Towards Anglo-Catholicism (1917-1927) 35 less religiously prepared, we can only assume, for what St Helen’s, Bishopsgate, and the rest, had to offer than the worldly visitor he en- visaged at the tiny church at Little Gidding, more than thirty years later: ‘if you came by day not knowing what you came for …’ (‘Little Gidding’, I).3 What is striking is that he visited the churches, and so many of them, at all.

  • YALE in LONDON – SUMMER 2013 British Studies 189 Churches: Christopher Wren to Basil Spence
    YALE IN LONDON – SUMMER 2013 British Studies 189 Churches: Christopher Wren to Basil Spence THE CHURCHES OF LONDON: ARCHITECTURAL IMAGINATION AND ECCLESIASTICAL FORM Karla Britton Yale School of Architecture Email: [email protected] Class Time: Tuesday, Thursday 10-12:15 or as scheduled, Paul Mellon Center, or in situ Office Hours: By Appointment Yale-in-London Program, June 10-July 19, 2013 Course Description The historical trajectories of British architecture may be seen as inseparable from the evolution of London’s churches. From the grand visions of Wren through the surprising forms of Hawksmoor, Gibbs, Soane, Lutyens, Scott, Nash, and others, the ingenuity of these buildings, combined with their responsiveness to their urban environment, continue to intrigue architects today. Examining the ecclesiastical architecture of London beginning with Christopher Wren, this course critically addresses how prominent British architects sought to communicate the mythical and transcendent through structure and material, while also taking into account the nature of the site, a vision of the concept of the city, the church building’s relationship to social reform, ethics, and aesthetics. The course also examines how church architecture shaped British architectural thought in the work of historians such as Pevsner, Summerson, Rykwert, and Banham. The class will include numerous visits in situ in London, as well as trips to Canterbury, Liverpool, and Coventry. Taking full advantage of the sites of London, this seminar will address the significance of London churches for recent architects, urbanists, and scholars. ______________________________________________________________________________________ CLASS REQUIREMENTS Deliverables: Weekly reflection papers on the material covered in class and site visits. Full participation and discussion is required in classroom and on field trips.

  • Dean's Welcome
    Dean’s Welcome Dear Supporters and Friends of St Paul’s, Again, we have experienced an action- packed year so far. This is a fine testament both to the many clergy, staff and volunteers who organise services and events, but also to the active visitors and supporters whose enthusiasm for St Paul’s quite clearly knows no bounds. For all this, we are extremely grateful. As we begin the run up to Christmas, and then beyond into 2012 with HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics, we can look back on many 2011 highlights described or shown in this “Dome” – the memorable 300th anniversary service in June for a capacity congregation of the current staff and supporters of the cathedral, the Royal Gala Concert in March which raised £150,000 for the cathedral, and much, much more. Over and above these, the constant flow of visitors, the regular cycle of services, the opportunities to engage The Right Reverend Graeme Knowles Dean, St Paul’s Cathedral with schoolchildren perhaps visiting for their very first time, or with our corporate neighbours holding a dinner in the Crypt: all these show how vibrant and relevant the cathedral continues to be to the City, the national and the international communities. Cover Photo by Michael Murphy As I approach my fifth year in the Michael Murphy from London has Deanery, on behalf of the whole Chapter, been announced as the winner of the I give thanks for the place St Paul’s holds St Paul’s Cathedral 300th Anniversary in the hearts of so many, coupled with Photo Competition.

  • City of London Spatial Classification
    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 7.8 LONDON AND SPATIAL CLASSIFICATION Note: Following the LEH website conventions, ‘London’ refers to the parliamentary constituency. ‘City of London’ is the spatial entity O! [London’s] Lamps of a night! Her rich goldsmiths, print shops, toy shops, mercers, hardwaremen, pastry cooks! – St. Paul’s churchyard, the Strand! Exeter Change! – Charing Cross, with the man upon a black horse! – These are thy Gods O London – … All the streets and pavements are pure gold, I warrant you. – At least I know an Alchemy that turns her mud into that metal – a mind that loves to be at home in Crowds... .1 ‘London’ has long meant different things to different people. As Charles Lamb’s enthusiastic commentary indicated, it catered well for those who could cope with its crowds and diversity. Administrative London, the centre of national government, overlapped with the legal and legislative centres of the nation, while the West End became the seasonal playground of the well-to-do and the home of smart shops, with poor areas providing cheap labour tucked among the grandeur. Eastwards, commercial and financial London focused on the port and the City of London itself. It had a different appearance: of wharves and warehouses riverwards, and dwelling-places and nearby counting-houses. To take one literary example, Elizabeth Bennet’s uncle Gardiner was a City wholesaler, living, as Jane Austen specified, ‘by trade and within view of his own warehouses.’2 But over time, the City’s business premises were increasingly supplanting residential properties within the inner city, as the march of London into Middlesex provided accommodation for the teeming masses of the metropolis.

  • 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.
