St Mary Magdalene Woolwich is an Anglican church dedicated to Mary Magdalene in Woolwich, sited at the extremity of a spur reaching northwards towards the Thames. == History == The original church was built some time before the 12th century (possibly even as early as the 9th century), though by the 18th century its Elizabethan spire had collapsed and the foundations were showing other signs of strain. Thus a new church (the present one) was built near the medieval church's site in 1732 to 1739, with dedication occurring on May 9, 1740. The new church was part-funded by the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches and built by Matthew Spray (though the designer's name remains unknown). The building was Grade B listed in 1954, which corresponds to Grade II and Grade II * in the modern scheme. In the 1970s the church was merged into the three church Parish of Woolwich. From 1965 to 2001, the local Presbyterian church also met here. 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「St Mary Magdalene Woolwich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
