St Peter And St Felix's Church, Kirby Ravensworth
St Peter and St Felix's Church is an Anglican church in Kirby Hill, a village near Richmond, North Yorkshire, in England. The first church on the site was Anglo-Saxon, while a replacement was probably built in the early 12th century. In about 1180, its chancel was rebuilt, and that is the earliest surviving section of the current building. In about 1300, a vestry was added to the north of the chancel, and the chancel arch was widened. In 1397, the tower and south porch were built, while in the late 15th century, the clerestory and south aisle of the nave were constructed. The church was restored in the 19th century, and was grade I listed in 1969. The church is built of stone with stone slate roofs, and consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel with north vestries and a west tower.

Church Bell
A church bell is a bell in a church building designed to be heard outside the building. It can be a single bell, or part of a set of bells. Their main function is to call worshippers to the church for a service of worship, but are also rung on special occasions such as a wedding, or a funeral service. In certain Christian traditions, such as Catholicism and Lutheranism, church bells signify to people both inside and outside of the church that a particular part of the service (such as the recitation of the Lord's Prayer or consecration of Holy Communion) has been reached. The ringing of church bells thrice a day occurs in congregations of certain Christian denominations as a call to prayer, reminding the faithful to pray the Lord's Prayer or the Angelus Domini. The traditional European church bell ''(see cutaway drawing)'' used in Christian churches worldwide consists of a cup-shaped metal resonator with a pivoted clapper hanging inside which strikes the sides when the bell ...

Pilgrimage Of Grace
The Pilgrimage of Grace was an English Catholic popular revolt beginning in Yorkshire in October 1536 before spreading to other parts of Northern England, including Cumberland, Northumberland, Durham and north Lancashire. The protests occurred under the leadership of Robert Aske. The "most serious of all Tudor period rebellions", the Pilgrimage was a revolt against King Henry VIII's break with the Catholic Church, the dissolution of the lesser monasteries, and the policies of the King's chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, as well as other specific political, social, and economic grievances. Following the suppression of the short-lived Lincolnshire Rising of 1536, the traditional historical view portrays the Pilgrimage as "a spontaneous mass protest of the conservative elements in the North of England angry with the religious upheavals instigated by King Henry VIII". Historians have observed that there were contributing economic factors. Prelude to revolt The 16th century D ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
