Hammersmith Vestry
The Hammersmith Vestry was the vestry of Hammersmith from 1631 to 1900. The vestry was established following the building of a chapel of ease for the inhabitants of Hammersmith in the parish of Fulham. Hammersmith became a distinct parish in 1834 and the vestry was also known as the Vestry of the Parish of Hammersmith. Hammersmith was recombined with Fulham for most sanitary and civil purposes in 1855 which reduced the responsibilities of the Hammersmith Vestry. It was incorporated in 1886 as an administrative vestry within the Metropolitan Board of Works area. The vestry was replaced by Hammersmith Metropolitan Borough Council in 1900 with the final election to the vestry occurring on 30 May 1899. History First vestry In 1629, inhabitants of Hammersmith, including the Earl of Mulgrave and Nicholas Crispe, successfully petitioned the Bishop of London for a chapel of ease to be built at St Paul's Church, in Hammersmith.

Vestry
A vestry was a committee for the local secular and ecclesiastical government of a parish in England, Wales and some English colony, English colonies. At their height, the vestries were the only form of local government in many places and spent nearly one-fifth of the budget of the British government. They were stripped of their secular functions in 1894 (1900 in London) and were abolished in 1921. The term ''vestry'' remains in use outside of England and Wales to refer to the elected governing body and legal representative of a parish church, for example in the Episcopal Church (United States), American and Scottish Episcopal Churches. Etymology The word vestry comes from Norman language, Anglo-Norman vesterie, from Old French ''vestiaire'', ultimately from Latin language, Latin ''vestiarium'' ‘wardrobe’. In a church building a Sacristy, vestry (also known as a sacristy) is a secure room for the storage or religious valuables and for changing into vestments. The vestry m ...

Fulham was a local government district within the metropolitan area of London, England from 1855 to 1886.

Vicarage
A clergy house is the residence, or former residence, of one or more priests or Minister (Christianity), ministers of a given religion, serving as both a home and a base for the occupant's ministry. Residences of this type can have a variety of names, such as manse, parsonage, presbytery, rectory, or vicarage. Function A clergy house is typically owned and maintained by a church, as a benefit to its clergy. This practice exists in many denominations because of the tendency of clergy to be transferred from one church to another at relatively frequent intervals. Also, in smaller communities, suitable housing is not always available. In addition, such a residence can be supplied in lieu of salary, which may not be able to be provided (especially at smaller congregations). Catholic clergy houses in particular may be lived in by several priests from a parish. Clergy houses frequently serve as the administrative office of the local parish, as well as a residence. They are normally loca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Parish Church
A parish church (or parochial church) in Christianity is the Church (building), church which acts as the religious centre of a parish. In many parts of the world, especially in rural areas, the parish church may play a significant role in community activities, often allowing its premises to be used for non-religious community events. The Church architecture, church building reflects this status, and there is considerable variety in the size and style of parish churches. Many villages in Europe have churches that date back to the Middle Ages, but all periods of architecture are represented. Catholic Church Each diocese (administrative unit, headed by a bishop) is divided into parishes. Normally, a parish consists of all Catholics living within its geographically defined area. Within a diocese, there can also be overlapping parishes for Catholics belonging to a particular rite, language, nationality, or community.

St Paul's Church, Hammersmith
St Paul's (also known as the Church of Saint Paul's) is a Grade II* listed Anglican church on Queen Caroline Street, Hammersmith, London. The church is adjacent to Hammersmith flyover and a short walk from Hammersmith tube station. History The original church Hammersmith originated as a hamlet within the parish of Fulham, with All Saints Church as the parish church. In the early 17th century, the distance of the hamlet and its increasing population from All Saints Church in Fulham led to demands for a chapel of ease to be built in the area. On 5 December 1629, "Inhabitants of Hammersmith", including Sir Nicholas Crispe, a wealthy merchant who had lived since 1625 in a house on the riverside in Hammersmith, petitioned Bishop Laud, Bishop of London and later Archbishop of Canterbury, for the building of a chapel in Hammersmith, begging him to "consider the length and foulness of the way between Fulham and that place, in winter most toilsome, sometimes over ploughed land ...

4 & 5 Will
4 (four) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 3 and preceding 5. It is a square number, the smallest semiprime and composite number, and is considered unlucky in many East Asian cultures. Evolution of the Hindu-Arabic digit Brahmic numerals represented 1, 2, and 3 with as many lines. 4 was simplified by joining its four lines into a cross that looks like the modern plus sign. The Shunga would add a horizontal line on top of the digit, and the Kshatrapa and Pallava evolved the digit to a point where the speed of writing was a secondary concern. The Arabs' 4 still had the early concept of the cross, but for the sake of efficiency, was made in one stroke by connecting the "western" end to the "northern" end; the "eastern" end was finished off with a curve. The Europeans dropped the finishing curve and gradually made the digit less cursive, ending up with a digit very close to the original Brahmin cross. While the shape of the character f ...
