St Nicholas Church, Chiswick is a Grade II * listed Anglican church in Church Street, Chiswick, London, near the River Thames. The oldest part of Chiswick developed as a village around the church from c. 1181.〔Clegg, 1995, p. 17.〕 The current church dates from 1882–84, when most of the building except the tower was demolished and rebuilt at the expense of the brewer Henry Smith of the nearby Fuller, Smith and Turner brewery. Several monuments survive, mainly in the tower. ==History== There has been a church on the Chiswick site since at least 1181 in Norman times.〔〔Clegg, 1995. pp. 103–104〕 The church was formally visited and an inventory made at "the unusually early date of 1252":〔Phillimore 1897. p. 98.〕 This first inventory lists "a good and sufficient missal sent there from the treasury of St Paul's"; two graduals; a badly bound tropary; an old lectionary; an anthem book; a psalter but not the expected manual. Valuables included a small silver chalice; a red velvet chasuble; two vestments; three corporals; five altar cloths; an arras cloth; an old chrismatory; two brass and two tin candlesticks; and a font without a lock. The chancel roof needed repairing, and the church was at the time not dedicated. Visitations were repeated in 1297 and 1458.〔Phillimore 1897. pp. 98–114.〕 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 Church, Chiswick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
