The Church of St Peter and St Andrew is an historic Church of England parish church at Old Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. It is located at the end of Church Road near the River Thames.〔''Buildings of Old Windsor'' Gilson, M Old Windsor, M.F. Gilson, 1995 ISBN 0-9536912-0-9〕 The church is first mentioned in extant records in 1216〔(Local Authority Web-site )〕 and the parish registers date from 1612.〔(Berkshire Marriage Index )〕 Restored and rebuilt in 1863, it still retains its original Early English chancel and tower. Nikolaus Pevsner, writing in 1975, described the wall paintings as "a matter of wonder".〔Pevsner, N. (1975). ''Berkshire (Buildings of England, South)''. Harmondsworth: Penguin. ISBN 0-14-071030-2〕 The churchyard contains the grave of celebrated Georgian actress Mary 'Perdita' Robinson, Shakespearean actress and alleged mistress of King George IV.〔Levy, M.J. (2004). ''Mary Robinson'' in ''Dictionary of National Biography''. Oxford: OUP. ISBN 0-19-861411-X〕 The church celebrates mass every Sunday〔(A Church Near You )〕 although more informal services are also held at the church hall(St Luke's) in the centre of the village. The church experienced a fire on Easter Sunday morning, 24 March 2008. It was badly damaged but quickly repaired. In January 2012 the church's new website was launched. http://www.oldwindsorchurch.org.uk/ ==References== 〔 File:Church steeple and church-entrance and SS Peter and Andrew's Church, Old Windsor.jpg|Spire File:Churchyard and church-entrance and SS Peter and Andrew's Church, Old Windsor.jpg|Perditia’s plot File:Wall painting in SS Peter and Andrew's Church, Old Windsor.jpg|Wall painting File:Old chair in SS Peter and Andrew's Church, Old Windsor.jpg|Bishops Chair 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「SS Peter and Andrew's Church, Old Windsor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
