St. John's Church, Oakfield, Ryde is a parish church in the Church of England located in Ryde, Isle of Wight. ==History== The church was built in 1842-43 by Charles Langdon & Co. to a design by the architect Thomas Hellyer.〔Nikolaus Pevsner & David Lloyd (1967) ''The Buildings of England, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight''. Harmondsworth: Penguin Books〕 The church was consecrated on 18 July 1843 by Charles Richard Sumner the Bishop of Winchester. Successive enlargements to the building were made in following years as the local population grew, and on 3 December 1870 the enlarged church was re-consecrated. At the same time St John's became a parish church, until that time having been a chapel-of-ease in the parish of St Helens. A Lady chapel was added in 1914 in memory of the 7th Lord Calthorpe whose family lived at nearby Woodlands Vale, and were regular worshippers at the church. The chancel of the church was enlarged in 1954. In 1970 a church hall was added as an extension of the church building, the previous hall having been situated some distance away at the junction of St John's Hill and St John's Avenue. The church hall was refurbished in 2006 and was used for a number of years as The Park Centre, a community resource. Management of the hall has now returned to the PCC of St John's Church and continues to be used by church and community groups. 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. John's Church, Oakfield, Ryde」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
