This statement may seem odd. How could you miss a building as big as this? However, I hadn’t noticed the beauty or the art that is all around the church. Once you start looking, you will find it full of beauty and a few surprises including far off landscapes, medieval and byzantine symbols, exotic flowers and even a dragon slayer. I am an amateur at reading churches, the ideas and many of the symbols described have other meanings, I have chosen those which mean most to me. I would be delighted to receive comments and/or corrections via the church office and to hear any information the reader may have on our church as a whole or the art within it, so that we can enhance or correct this guide, which I hope you will enjoy reading as you look around this special place. This document is part 1 of 2, providing full text descriptions; part 2 of 2 is a photographic companion and includes photographic images of the key features discussed within this guide. The Map below is to help with the orientation of the premises as you read this guide.

They don’t just keep the wind out or the rain off. They are special places, full of spirituality and fellowship. The great medieval churches were built to inspire and create awe to ensure people believed they had a heavenly experience when in church. We read churches because they are veiled in allegory and symbols. In the early days of churches many people could not read, so symbols, carvings and pictures were used to tell stories from the bible or to explain theology such as the trinity. What may be surprising to some people is the borrowing of symbols from other cultures, and the relation of symbols to faith, many of which are not of the bible or are pre-Christian. In Medieval churches it was commonplace to adopt or alter existing well established religious symbols and we use many of these today. It was common to use symbols that people understood and could see around them in everyday life, and there has been a tradition to relate messages of faith to signs of nature, using flowers, plants and fruits. Some art and decoration in churches was to demonstrate power and ambition, but on the whole, the decoration was crafted out of a love of God and a deep faith. These craftsmen wove into the walls messages from the gospels and wrapped their buildings in prayer. Some of the art and decoration within the church can be used in a very personal way to focus the mind and aid reflection, but the church is ultimately a community space to be shared and loved by all. 1.2 General Description of the Church Church was built in 1868-70 thanks to a groups of Methodists led by Moses Line, a successful local businessman, and included many other names of renown in Chislehurst. The construction of Chislehurst Methodist church began in 1868 and the main body of the church and steeple were completed in 1870. The original construction cost was £5800. To provide extra seating the gallery or balcony was built in 1881 and owing to the growth of the church what is now known as the welcome area (previously the side chapel) was completed in 1883, including the room now used as the crèche, formerly known as the old vestry. There was a plan in the 1880’s to build an identical side extension on the north side, to give a cruciform ground plan, but lack of funds, prevented this. Come and See, Part 1 of 2 Page 4 of 45 Chislehurst Methodist Church, November 2011 (updated May 2018) We have no particular record to show when the original church halls, comprising the upstairs room and new vestry (currently the church office), were built, within engravings and contemporary accounts describing the building of the church, there is no mention of this part of the premises, so we assume it came later. We have estimated these to have been built circa 1900. The upstairs room, used to be known as the Tower Room. The upstairs room was used for lectures and as a classroom. The Wesley room was added in 1936 and was primarily built to be a Sunday school class room. The Epworth room, main hall and concourse were added in the 1960’s, following the sale and subsequent development of the sites of the manse and the Willow Grove Wesleyan School to raise the funds. The design and works to provide the remodelled concourse, Main Hall and associated ancillary rooms was led by Cyril Mitchell. The wonderful glass roofed foyer, named ‘The Courtyard’ joining the main hall and church was completed in 2011. The inside of the church used to have a very traditional interior with wooden pews fixed to the floor. In 2011 the main church space was modernised under the leadership and vision of the Revd. Barbara Calvert, the minister, transforming it into a modern, multi-purpose worship and community space, with the Chislehurst prayer labyrinth set in the floor. The design of the refurbishments and remodelling of the church interior was largely carried out by members of the church. The new glazed entrance foyer completed in November 2001, known as the courtyard, was designed by Nigel Bird of Nigel Bird architects Ltd and as was the remodelling of the church the principal contractor/builder was Mid Kent Homes Ltd. The church is classic Victorian gothic revival, in design. We cannot be entirely sure who the architect was as we don’t have original drawings, but comparison with other English churches of the same period suggests it was William Butterfield. He was one of the most important high Victorian gothic architects, and was a prolific English designer of churches as well as a member of the ecclesiastical society. He designed many Methodist churches and those of other denominations and was often inspired by local materials in his design of churches. The influences of Augustus Pugin and William Morris can clearly be seen in the church interior, design and styling. The church windows have a mix of styles. The front (east) lancets are clearly gothic early English style, while the north, south and west wall windows have early English style plate tracery. The windows in the steeple are Venetian gothic style. The church also has a spoked wheel window on the front wall. The window glass designs are a mix of gothic revival, modernist and Victorian arts & crafts styles. Come and See, Part 1 of 2 Page 5 of 45 Chislehurst Methodist Church, November 2011 (updated May 2018) 2.0 Outside - General The external walls are made of random rubble, of local Kentish Ragstone, which was bedded with dry mortar. This gives the appearance of an old rural country parish church. Corners, window surrounds, copers and gables are made from limestone Ashlar cladding. The main exterior roof is a traditional pitched roof, which was fully renovated and retiled in the late 1980’s. The ceiling underneath, although simple, is a striking timber gambrel barrelled arch. The church although relatively modest in floor plan, has a magnificent high roof. Within the ceiling space there are steel ties in tension which stabilise the base of the roof and stop it putting adverse lateral pressure on the external walls. The roof is buttressed by the side chapel on the south wall and there are splayed buttresses along the north wall between each window and corner. The apse (or chancel) is hipped onto the west wall of the church, giving the apse interior space the traditional separation from the main space (or nave) of the church. The apse is formed from five walls, three long walls and two short forming half of an octagon, and has a half domed roof.

  • The Stained Glass of St. Nicholas' Church, Blundellsands
    The Stained Glass of St. Nicholas’ Church, Blundellsands Text: Philip Collins; Photographs: Peter Batey Of the twenty three stained glass windows in St. Nicholas’ Church, fifteen are the work of four firms and the remaining eight are by unidentified studios. Apart from the three apsidal east windows, there is no overall subject scheme, the donors, albeit in a number of cases with the input of Caröe, being apparently free to choose their own subjects. The earliest glass is a window with a commemorative date of 1875 and therefore more or less contemporary with the building of the church, and the latest, a window inserted in 1924. In the beginning, the appearance of the windows from inside would have looked quite different. For one thing, the intensity of light on a dark day would have been much stronger, but then gradually, as windows were filled over the years, the glare would have softened until the present effect we see today was reached. 1 This description of the windows follows the sequence shown on the Stained Glass Plan (see below) and it begins in the sanctuary. For studying windows 1-5 and 12-14 the use of a pair of binoculars is recommended. List of windows and page number 1. Transfiguration 4 2. Crucifixion 5 3. Ascension 7 4. St. Paul 8 5.

The Book will kill the Edifice. To our mind, this thought has two aspects. In the first place it was a view pertaining to the priest—it was the terror of the ecclesiastic before a new force—printing. It was the servant of the dim sanctuary scared and dazzled by the light that streamed from Gutenberg’s press.

  • Computer-Generated Gothic Tracery with a Motif-Oriented Approach
    Computer-generated Gothic Tracery with a Motif-oriented Approach Joe Takayama* *Kyushu Sangyo University, [email protected] Abstract: Drawing decorative ornaments as computer-generated imagery (CGI) is both time- and energy-intensive because it usually involves complicated motifs. Therefore, a procedural approach that is applicable to a variety of fields may be useful for drawing ornaments efficiently. Consequently, an algorithmic approach for generating complicated ornaments has been proposed in this study. This research specifically focuses on Gothic tracery, which is widely found in European architecture from the 12th to 15th centuries. Tracery constitutes stonework elements that support glass panes in windows. Although Gothic tracery comprises a wide variety of complicated patterns, it usually consists of combinations of circles with a few straight lines. These combinations and geometric operations can generate various motifs. However, it is difficult to extract the rules for obtaining desirable patterns from circle arrangements because of variations in geometric situations. Therefore, we attempted through this study to draw Gothic tracery using a motif-oriented approach whereby an algorithm automatically seeks an appropriate position in a closed 2D space for placement of the motif. Thus, the algorithm determines the arrangement of circles required to draw the motif. This algorithm can produce some principal Gothic-style motifs automatically, and recursive execution of the algorithm can generate complicated patterns. Keywords: Computer-generated imagery, Ornaments, Gothic tracery, Procedural approach 1. Introduction A procedural approach in CGI has been used mainly to represent natural objects and natural phenomena that are too complicated to be drawn or animated by artists [5].

  • Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception
    Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception Peoria, Illinois A Self-Guided Tour DISCOVER SAINT MARY’S Welcome to Peoria's Cathedral! In the middle ages, it was common for cathedrals to decorate their floors with elaborate labyrinths. These mazes in stone were very physical metaphors for the intentional wandering of the spiritual life. While there is no labyrinth in this cathedral, I invite you to wander nonetheless. This booklet is not designed to be an exhaustive historical guide or museum catalogue. This is not a theme park map to move you from point to point. Instead, we hope to provide a bit of history, a theological context, and an overview of this cathedral that is mother-church to Catholics across Central Illinois. I have been praying in this church both as a seminarian and a priest for over a decade. Over these past few years witnessing the grand restoration and parish life, I have especially been spending a lot of time here. I still never tire of wandering the church, talking to saints who are old friends, discovering new details in the windows, and gazing at the stars. I invite you to wander, to wonder, to pray. St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, pray for us! Fr. Alexander Millar Rector 2 HISTORY OF SAINT MARY CATHEDRAL In 1851, Bishop James VandeVelde of Chicago asked a Vincentian missionary, Father Alphonse Montouri, CM, to build a new church in Peoria, offering him $200 to carry out the plan. In a year, St. Mary’s Church (right) was built and was said to be one of the finest churches between Chicago and St.

    The spaces of truth and cathedral window light Gerald Gillespie Departments of German Studies and Comparative Literature Stanford University STANFORD California A bstract The spaces of truth and cathedral window light Major writers and painters of the Romantic period interpreted the church or cathedra! in its organic and spiritual dimensions as a complex expression o f a matured Christian civilization. Artists o f the mid-nineteenth century continued to produce both secular and religious variations upon this established referentiality. Although divergent uses reciprocally rein­ forced the fascination for the central imagery of the church and its multiple contexts, they also came to suggest a deeper tension in Western development between what the church had meant in an earlier Europe and what it might mean for late modernity. The threat of a permanent loss of cultural values was an issue haunting Realist approaches. A crucial revision occurred when key Symbolist poets openly revived the first Romantic themes but treated them as contents available to a decidedly post- Romantic historical consciousness. There was an analogous revival of interest in the church as a culturally charged symbol in painting around the turn of the century. Although they might apply this poetic and pictorial heritage in strikingly different ways, writers of high Modernism such as Rilke, Proust, and Kafka understood its richness and importance. 1. The Romantic prelude The metaphor of being “at the window” serves as the final chapter title of Roger Cardinal’s Figures of Reality (1981) to characterize the core of European poetic consciousness during the larger period that stretches roughly from Romanticism through the twentieth century.' Appreciation of the Modernist experience or sense of being in the presence of such light is indeed enhanced if we examine its Romantic roots.
