St Nicholas Shambles was a mediaeval church in the City of London.〔(National archive details )〕 It was on the corner of Butcher Hall Lane (now King Edward Street) and Newgate Street. It took its name from the Shambles, the butchers area in the west of Newgate Street.〔"The London Encyclopaedia" Hibbert,C;Weinreb,D;Keay,J: London, Pan Macmillan, 1983 (rev 1993,2008) ISBN 978-1-4050-4924-5〕 The site was extensively excavated in 1975–9 in preparation for the GPO headquarters,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Site record GPO75 )〕 now the BT Centre, the headquarters of BT Group. The church is first mentioned as ''St. Nicholas de Westrnacekaria''.〔"A Dictionary of London" Harben,H: London, Herbert Jenkins, 1918〕 In 1253 Walter de Cantilupe, Bishop of Worcester granted indulgences to its parishioners.〔(Records of St Nicholas Shambles parish, 1253-1526 (Held at St Bart’s Hospital) )〕 The excavations in the 1970s identified several phases of building. The original nave and chancel probably dated from the 11th century. They were extended in the late 12th century. Chapels were added to the east end in the 14th century, a north aisle was added to the nave in the first half of the 15th century, and, finally, the east end was rebuilt and a sacristy added on the north. The excavations included the grave yard. Amongst the finds was a woman who died in the later stages of childbirth. 〔 In 1546, Henry VIII gave the church, along with that of St Ewin (also known as St Audoen) and the dissolved Christ Church priory to the City corporation. A new parish was created for Christ Church, out of those of St Nicholas and St Ewin, and part of that of St Sepulchre. St Nicholas' was demolished in 1547.〔(Guildhall Library data )〕 ==Notes== 〔 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 Nicholas Shambles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
