St Andrew's Church, Totteridge
St Andrew's is the Church of England church for Totteridge in north London. It is located in the Diocese of St Albans, one of the few churches in Greater London to have this distinction. History The church was probably first mentioned in 1250, in a document which records Totteridge Church as belonging to St Etheldreda's, Hatfield from whence it took its dedication. St Etheldreda was born near Newmarket in Suffolk about the year 630 and was the daughter of the Christian king of East Anglia. Over the years, the dedication was corrupted to St Audrey's and wills from the time of the Protestant Reformation refer to the Church by both names. Then at some time between the Reformation and the late 17th century the dedication changed to St Andrew possibly when only biblical saints were in favour and when the written word “Audrey” might well be transcribed as “Andrew” without any objection. In 1650 the Commonwealth Commissioners recommended that Totteridge Church should be deta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alumni Of Trinity College, Cambridge
Alumni (singular: alumnus (masculine) or alumna (feminine)) are former students of a school, college, or university who have either attended or graduated in some fashion from the institution. The feminine plural alumnae is sometimes used for groups of women. The word is Latin and means "one who is being (or has been) nourished".

The term is sometimes used to refer to a former employee or member of an organization, contributor, or inmate. Etymology The Latin noun ''alumnus'' means "foster son" or "pupil". It is derived from PIE ''*h₂el-'' (grow, nourish), and it is a variant of the Latin verb ''alere'' "to nourish".Merriam-Webster: alumnus .. Separate, but from t ...

St Alban
Saint Alban (; la, Albanus) is venerated as the first-recorded British Christian martyr, for which reason he is considered to be the British protomartyr. Along with fellow Saints Julius and Aaron, Alban is one of three named martyrs recorded at an early date from Roman Britain (" Amphibalus" was the name given much later to the priest he was said to have been protecting). He is traditionally believed to have been beheaded in Verulamium (modern St Albans) sometime during the 3rd or 4th century, and his cult has been celebrated there since ancient times. Hagiography Alban lived in Roman Britain, but little is known about his religious affiliations, socioeconomic status, or citizenship. According to the most elaborate version of the tale found in Bede's ''Ecclesiastical History of the English People'', in the 3rd or 4th century (see dating controversy below), Christians began to suffer "cruel persecution", and Alban was living in Verulamium. However, Gildas says he crossed th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Stained-glass Window
Stained glass is coloured glass as a material or works created from it. Throughout its thousand-year history, the term has been applied almost exclusively to the windows of churches and other significant religious buildings. Although traditionally made in flat panels and used as windows, the creations of modern stained glass artists also include three-dimensional structures and sculpture. Modern vernacular usage has often extended the term "stained glass" to include domestic lead light and ''objets d'art'' created from foil glasswork exemplified in the famous lamps of Louis Comfort Tiffany. As a material ''stained glass'' is glass that has been coloured by adding metallic salts during its manufacture, and usually then further decorating it in various ways. The coloured glass is crafted into ''stained glass windows'' in which small pieces of glass are arranged to form patterns or pictures, held together (traditionally) by strips of lead and supported by a rigid frame.
