Saint Mary at Stoke is a Grade I listed Anglican church in the Old Stoke area of Ipswich.〔(Going Over Stoke ) by Linda Walker, BBC Local History〕 on the junction of Stoke Street and Belstead Road in Ipswich, Suffolk. The church stands in a prominent position near the foot of a ridge, just south west of Stoke Bridge and the town centre. Its parish was a small farming community which saw a great increase in population with the coming of the railway to this part of Ipswich. It was once governed by Ely, a fact lightly made much of by a politician of Stoke.〔A History of Ipswich, Robert Malster, quoted in (Ipswich was once part of Stoke )〕 In 1995 its parish was subsumed into the (South West Ipswich Team Ministry ) in the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.〔(Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich )〕 The building is made up of a small medieval church and a large Victorian extension designed by William Butterfield in 1872.〔(St Mary at Stoke, Ipswich ) from the (Suffolk Churches website ) by Simon Knott〕 A church has existed on this site since the 10th Century. It is probably one of the St Marys mentioned in the Domesday Book.〔(Medieval English urban history - Ipswich )〕 The original nave (now the north aisle) has a medieval single hammer beam roof, with moulded wall plates, angels with shields at the ends of the hammer beams, and figures underneath.〔Ipswich Churches Ancient & Modern, Roy Tricker, 1982, ISBN 0-9507064-9-3〕 The angels are Victorian replacements for those destroyed by iconoclasts. The church was visited by William Dowsing. There is a medieval piscina. ==References== 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「Saint Mary at Stoke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
