St Peter's and St Paul's Church is a grade II * listed building and is the parish church of the small market town of Holsworthy, Devon, England. The present church, built in the early English style, dates from the mid 13th century. Renovations in the late 19th century included the complete rebuilding of the chancel, the addition of a north aisle and the renovation of the nave and south aisle. The fifteenth century, three stage west tower is high and houses a set of eight bells and a carillon. The first building on the site was probably a Norman Oratory built c.1130 and demolished in c.1250. Remnants of the Oratory have been incorporated into the south porch. ==History== The original Norman Church was small and occupied the site of the present nave.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url = http://www.holsworthychurch.org.uk/history.shtml )〕 The Oratory was demolished c.1250 and replaced by a church with tower, nave, south aisle and chancel built in the Early English style. Additions and alterations were made to the church in 1366.〔 In the 14th century Walter le Deneis (the Danish Man) founded a Chantry Chapel at Trewyn, about north of the Church. He endowed the priests of the Chantry for two hundred years. The Deneis, or Dennis, family held the manors of Pancrasweek, Manworthy and Trewyn. The principal duty of a Chantry priest was to say Mass daily for the souls of the founder family. The Chantry was incorporated into the church in c.1450, probably in the South Aisle. The last appointment of a Chantry Priest was in 1524.〔 in 1881–82 the chancel ( long by wide) was completely rebuilt. In 1883 the nave, south aisle and porch were rebuilt and the north aisle, organ chamber and vestry were added. With the exception of the porch doorway, all the rebuilding was in the Early English style, the style which the original building showed most signs. Local stone was used for the main walls and Hatherleigh stone was used for the buttresses, quoins, dressings, copings, and window tracery. Internally, the window dressings and the arches of the north aisle are of Corsham Bath stone. The roofs of the nave and aisles are of pitch pine. The architect was Mr Otho Bathurst Peter (1854-1937), of Launceston.〔 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 Peter's and St Paul's Church, Holsworthy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
