All Saints parish is the Anglican parish of the northern part of the city of Dunedin, New Zealand. It is part of the Diocese of Dunedin. The parish boundaries include North Dunedin, Ravensbourne and Leith Valley. The parish community is lively, inclusive, multi-generational and Anglo-Catholic. The building is the oldest church still used as a place of worship in Dunedin. All Saints Church backs onto Selwyn College, Otago with which the parish has a long and close relationship. Selwyn College was built as an Anglican theological college in 1892, later becoming a college for students from any faculty in the university. All Saints is the closest church to the campuses of the University of Otago and the Otago Polytechnic. ==Architecture== The nave of the church was designed by William H. Clayton and built in 1865; the transepts and chancel, designed by William Mason were added in 1873. All Saints is an example of gothic revival architecture. A notable architectural feature is the polychromatic brickwork. The bricks came from the brickworks in Filleul Street, Dunedin. Also used in the building is Oamaru stone, an early use of the stone in Dunedin. In 1969, All Saints undertook a restoration project, in which the foundations, hardwood floor, and slate roof were replaced. Also at this time a nave altar was installed. A restoration project is currently underway, to be completed in 2015, for the church's 150th anniversary. The building has a Category I listing with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. Notable art works in the church include a large rood hanging above the sanctuary carved by leading sculptor Frederick George Gurnsey (1868–1953) who also carved the aumbry door and the pulpit. A small crucifix by the eminent New Zealand sculptor Ria Bancroft (1907–1993) is above the pulpit. The windows are a particularly fine set of Victorian and Edwardian stained glass, many depicting New Zealand fauna and flora. Two windows were originally in the former chapel of St Hilda's Collegiate School. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Saints Church, Dunedin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
