It is noted for containing a mausoleum to leading members of the Yorkist dynasty of the Wars of the Roses. ==Description and History== The work on the present church was begun by Edward III who also built a college as a cloister on the church's southern side. After completion in around 1430, a parish church of similar style was added to the western end of the collegiate church with work beginning in 1434. It is the parish church which still remains. The large present church is named in honour of St Mary and All Saints, and has a distinctive tall tower dominating the local skyline. The church is Perpendicular in style and although only the nave, aisles and octagonal tower remain of the original building it is still in the best style of its period.〔''Encyclopædia Britannica'', 1911〕 The church has been described by Simon Jenkins as float() on its hill above the River Nene, a galleon of Perpendicular on a sea of corn.〔England's Thousand Best Churches, Simon Jenkins, Penguin Books, 1999. ISBN 0-14-029795-2〕 The chancel was pulled down after the college was dissolved in 1553 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries by John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland who was granted the college by King Edward VI. A grammar school was founded in its place which lasted until 1859. 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「Church of St Mary and All Saints, Fotheringhay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
