St Peter, Westcheap, sometimes known simply as “St Peter Cheap”,〔“The London City Churches”, Norman,P.: London, The London Society, 1929〕 was a parish church in the City of London. It stood at the south west corner of Wood Street in the ward of Farringdon Within. Parts of the parish were also in Bread Street and Cripplegate Wards Of medieval origin, it was destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666 and not rebuilt. ==History== St Peter Westcheap was originally built in the twelfth century.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aim25.ac.uk/cgi-bin/vcdf/detail?coll_id=15637&inst_id=118&nv1=search&nv2= )〕 Both church and steeple were rebuilt with funds left in his will by Sir John Shaw, following his death in 1503; one of Shaw's stipulations was that the church should be reconstructed with a flat ceiling.〔 The sixteenth century church was an aisled building;〔 Richard Newcourt noted that, notwithsanding Shaw's bequest, "Thomas Wood, ''Goldsmith'' was accounted a principal Benefactor, because the Roof of the middle Isle was supported by Images of Woodmen." 〔〔According to Robert Seymour, Thomas Wood also "built a beautiful Front of the Houses in ''Cheap'', over against ''Wood-street End'' ... garnished with the likeness of Woodmen"〕 Repairs were carried out in 1616-17, at a cost to the parishioners of £314.〔 The patronage of the church belonged to the Abbots of St Albans until the dissolution of the monasteries. Henry VIII then granted it to Lord Wriothesly, and it was inherited by his descendants the Earls of Southampton. The rector of the church from 1529 to 1534 was Thomas Goodrich, later Bishop of Ely and Lord Chancellor.〔 On 14 January 1559, during a royal progresses through the City, Queen Elizabeth was presented with a Bible in English as she passed the church door. 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, Westcheap」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
