"Church" is a word with two senses: a body of believers and a building where people worship. This book is about the buildings, but it is important for pupils to be reminded that Church members regard their buildings as expressions of living faith, not inert monuments. The chapter titles include: (1) "Definitions and Settings"; (2) "What Went On in a Church?"; (3) "When Were Churches Built?"; (4) "Under and around the Church"; (5) "Repair, Restoration, and Re-Use"; (6) "Educational Approaches"; and (7) "Churches across the Curriculum." A timeline, bibliography, and resources section complete the text. (EH) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. ___11.1111161.64doi. tr.)

Towns usually contain a number. Locally accessi- ble, these buildings, their sites and surroundings, offer practical and analytical learning opportunities, not only for history and religious education, but also for maths, sci- ence, technology, geography, artand links between them. 'Church' is a word with two sens- es: a body of believers ('the Christian Church') and a building where believers meet for worship. This book is about the buildings, but it is important for pupils to be reminded that Church members regard their buildings as expres- sions of living faith, not inert mon- uments.

However, most churches and chapels are unused to groups of people visiting for educational purposes. Most, of course, are still used for worship and attract the loyalties and affections of local people, whose relatives may be buried there. Members of the con- gregation are usually pleased to see their church as a focus for lively interest, but some may resent any suggestion, even if unintended, that their building is merely an ancient monument. As with any resource, you should visit in advance to find out who to contact and how best to fit in with services and meetings.

Feeling a bit like the Reggie Perrin of old, I travelled daily from Tonbridge to Canon Street, then underground to Bank station in the City. Each morning, as the doors ‘shhhhhhhd’ open, I alighted from the carriage to the sound of the monotonous, regular intonation: ‘Bank station: mind the gap – please mind the gap’ Gaps can be worrying things. Real gaps – that space between the edge of a platform and the step of a train - can be a chasm for lost shoes, dropped keys, fumbled tickets or worse. And yet often the ‘gaps’ in our lives can be even more worrying if we let them. It’s the gap between ‘where I am now’ and ‘where am I going to’ That gap between the certainty of the here and now and the uncertainty of the future can often contain fear, isolation, exclusion, bereavement, loss, grief, self-pity: all these are often more frightening and more real to some than the six inches one has to ‘mind’ at Bank Underground.

  • St Mary's Church, Sandbach
    A SHORT HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF ST. MARY'S CHURCH SANDBACH, CHESHIRE JOHN MINSHULL PUBLISHED BY ST. MARY'S PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL SANDBACH, CHESHIRE FIRST PUBLISHED IN JUNE 1974 REPRINTED IN AUGUST 1978 REVISED IN JUNE 1990 © ST. MARY'S PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author acknowledges the valuable assistance given by: L. MASSEY, ARIBA, AMTPI, by way of old documents and in checking the proofs ; a large number of parishioners of long standing for information about characters and special events ; the Church Officials for putting up with continual requests for old documents and ledgers. The photographs on pages 20 and 22 were taken by R. P. Lewis, Sandbach. The artist of the etching on page 5 is unknown. Other photographs taken by the author. Any profits from the sale of this booklet, after paying printing expenses, will be passed into the Church funds. PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY JOHNSONS OF NANTWICH LTD. NANTWICH, CHESHIRE. FOREWORD Dear Friends I was glad when they said to me "Let us go to the house of the Lord". So wrote the psalmist as he approached the Temple of Jerusalem almost 3000 years ago. The words express the joy and anticipation he felt as he drew near to that great building that witnessed in his day to the existence and reality of God. A Church on the site of St. Mary's has witnessed silently to the same reality of God for over 1000 years. The tower pointing majestically upwards challenges us to believe that life means more than the ordinary and often sad events of everyday.

Part A - Current Report Church Introduction & Statement of Significance Holy Trinity Old Church in Bothenhampton, Dorset, England was built in the 13th or 14th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 1 April 1971, and was vested in the Trust on 23 October 1972. The church was built in the 13thor 14th century. The chancel and the 15th century tower are the only parts of this mediaeval parish church to survive. In the 1880s the nave was demolished and the new Holy Trinity Church was built in the village by Edward Schroeder Prior. The old church continued to be used as a mortuary chapel until 1971. Subsequently, the chancel was used as a mortuary chapel. In 1971, the dilapidated state of the church lead to it being formally declared redundant and in 1972 it became the responsibility of the Redundant Churches Fund, which became the Churches Conservation Trust.
