St. James' Church, Standard Hill was a Church of England church in Nottingham. ==History== In 1807 an Act of Parliament sanctioned the erection of a new church, It was opposed by the three clergy of the existing parishes of Nottingham, but the land was acquired in the extra-parochial district of Standard Hill, over which none of the existing clergy had jurisdiction.〔An itinerary of Nottingham. J. Holland Walker. 1935〕 Despite the failure of their opposition, the three clergy succeeded in clogging its usefulness by imposing conditions on it. It had no parish, and marriages could not be celebrated in it during its first years. The principal backers of this new church were Thomas Hill, Edmund Wright, Richard Eaton and Benjamin Maddock. In 1808 a cornerstone was laid. The Rev. J. H. Maddock acted as Chaplain. The building proceeded and in 1809 the edifice was consecrated by Edward Venables-Vernon-Harcourt the Archbishop of York.〔A Centenary History of Nottingham. John Beckett. Manchester University Press. 1997.〕 Shortly afterwards an independent congregation started to meet in the church. They left in 1883 when they opened their own church, Park Hill Congregational Church on Derby Road. 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. James' Church, Standard Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
