The Church of St Paul the Apostle, Wightman Road, Harringay, London, N4, serves a traditional Anglo-Catholic (Church of England) parish in north London. In ecclesiastical terms the parish is part of the Edmonton Episcopal Area of the Diocese of London. In political terms the parish is in the London Borough of Haringey. In 1984 the nineteenth-century church building was destroyed by fire, and the present iconic building was opened in 1993, designed by London architects Peter Inskipp and Peter Jenkins. The parish of Harringay is situated at one corner of what was formerly part of Hornsey parish, adjacent to Stoke Newington parish. ==1883: the first parish church== On 28 June 1892 the ecclesiastical Parish of St. Paul's Harringay was formed out of Holy Trinity Stroud Green, St. Anne's Stamford Hill, and St. Mary's Hornsey. The living was £387 net per year, with benefice.〔All the early history, unless otherwise indicated, is based on the unpublished parish history, kept in the church〕 In 1883, the Reverend Joshua Greaves was appointed vicar, and found at Harringay a fast-growing housing estate rapidly covering open spaces and fields, but no church building. A temporary tin hut mission church was opened for worship on 23 December when there were six communicants and a collection of 14s 3d. The temporary church stood in Burgoyne Road.〔T F T Baker, C R Elrington (Editors), A P Baggs, Diane K Bolton, M A Hicks, R B Pugh (Eds), (1980)'Hornsey, including Highgate: Churches', ''A History of the County of Middlesex'', ((Volume 6: Friern Barnet, Finchley, Hornsey with Highgate), 172-182, accessed 1 May 2009 )〕 The digging of the ground preparatory to building the first permanent church began on Tuesday 20 May 1890, and the foundation stone was laid by Lady Louisa Wolseley (1843–1920) on Saturday 31 May 1890. The church was consecrated on 1 October 1891, by Dr. Frederick Temple, then the Bishop of London. 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 Paul's Church, Harringay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
