Минстерная церковь Святого Андрея , также известная как церковь Святого Андрея, Плимут - англиканская церковь в Плимуте . Это оригинальная приходская церковь Саттона, один из трех городов, которые впоследствии были объединены, чтобы сформировать город Плимут. Церковь является крупнейшей приходской церковью в историческом графстве Девон и была построена в середине до конца 15 -го века. Церковь была сильно повреждена во время Блица Плимута , но была восстановлена после войны. Он был обозначен как министерская церковь в 2009 году и продолжает действовать как центр религиозных гражданских событий для города и как шумной евангелистской церкви.
Скорее всего, он будет на месте оригинальной саксонской церкви и когда -то был прикреплен к аббатству Плимптона .
История
[ редактировать ]Церковь существовала по крайней мере еще в начале 11 -го века, [ 1 ] но, возможно, был установлен в 8 веке. К 15 веку он должен был быть увеличен из -за роста города. Мраморная Purbeck Marble могила , теперь расположенная в северном трансепте, является единственной оставшейся особенностью предыдущей церкви. Плимута голубого Основное здание из известняка и Дартмура гранитного угла углового в перпендикулярном стиле происходило между 1430 и 1490 годами. [2] with a plaque on the tower dating to 1460. It is known to have been restored three times, in 1824 by John Foulston, in 1875 by Sir George Gilbert Scott, and by Sir Frederick Etchells after extensive bomb damage in World War II. The Resurgam Door is a commemoration of this. The length is 185 feet (56 m) and the width 96 feet (29 m). There are two aisles on each side of the nave and one each side of the chancel. The arcades are of the type which is standard in Cornwall at the period. The tower is 136 feet (41 m) high and was funded by Thomas Yogge, a prosperous merchant, c. 1460.[2] который построил неправильно названный Prysten House сразу, расположенный к югу от церкви.
The organ, the largest west of Bristol, was built by Rushworth and Dreaper to a design by George Harry Moreton, William Lloyd Webber and O. H. Peasgood. Dr Harry Moreton (1864–1961) was the organist of St Andrew's from 1885 to 1958.[3]
Blitz
[edit]In March 1941, St Andrew's Parish Church was bombed and badly damaged. Amid the smoking ruins a headmistress nailed over the door a wooden sign saying simply Resurgam (Latin for I shall rise again),[1] indicating the wartime spirit, a gesture repeated at other devastated European churches. That entrance to St Andrew's is still referred to as the "Resurgam" door and a carved granite plaque is now permanently fixed there.[4]
The Church was re-roofed and restored by Etchells and re-consecrated on 30 November 1957, St Andrew's Day. The restoration includes a new chancel as the old one had been made into a ruin.
Present day
[edit]The church belongs to the conservative evangelical tradition of Anglicanism, and has expressed support for GAFCON.[5]
