Excerpt: ...by the celebrated Grinling Gibbons, and an organ built by Father Smith. This organ was removed at the rebuilding of the Church in 1818. It is now in the Abbey Church of St. Alban's, and is mentioned among Smith's works, in Bimbault and Hopkins's book on "The Organ, its History," &c. Smith received from time to time sums of 10/. each, for cleaning and repairing the organ; and the MS. parish book contains the following memorandum, "Mr. Bernard Smith, organist, dwelleth in Suffolk Street over against the cock." Bernard Schmidt, or Smith, was called Father Smith, to distinguish him from his nephews, Gerard, and Bernard Smith, who came with him to England from Germany. On a panel on the north side of the organ-gallery was an inscription, recording Dame Dionys Williamson's noble benefaction. Hatton, in his New View of London, ed. 1708, speaks of "a pretty organ here!" The following passage from his book will serve to show the kind of taste prevalent in interiors of Churches of that date: "As a farther ornament, here is a neat organ-gallery of the Corinthian order, adorned with bolection-work, and enrich'd with carv'd cherubims. It is very well pewed, and wainscotted 9 foot high." Gibbons, much of whose beautiful work may be seen over the stalls and on the organ-gallery of St. Paul's Cathedral, and in some of the City Churches, as well as at Windsor, Chatsworth, and Petworth House, Sussex, died in 1721. He carved in oak, walnut, lime-tree, &c. "There is no instance," says Horace Walpole, in his own happy mode of description, "of a man before Gibbons, who gave to wood the loose and airy lightness of flowers, and chained together the various productions of the elements, with a free...

Download or read book Church Building and Society in the Later Middle Ages written by Gabriel Byng and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of a church was undoubtedly one of the most demanding events to take place in the life of a medieval parish. It required a huge outlay of time, money and labour, and often a new organisational structure to oversee design and management. Who took control and who provided the financing was deeply shaped by local patterns in wealth, authority and institutional development - from small villages with little formal government to settlements with highly unequal populations. This all took place during a period of great economic and social change as communities managed the impact of the Black Death, the end of serfdom and the slump of the mid-fifteenth century. This original and authoritative study provides an account of how economic change, local politics and architecture combined in late-medieval England. It will be of interest to researchers of medieval, socio-economic and art history.

Download or read book The Mummy s Curse written by Roger Luckhurst and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-10-25 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the winter of 1922-23 archaeologist Howard Carter and his wealthy patron George Herbert, the Fifth Earl of Carnarvon, sensationally opened the tomb of Tutenkhamen. Six weeks later Herbert, the sponsor of the expedition, died in Egypt. The popular press went wild with rumours of a curse on those who disturbed the Pharaoh's rest and for years followed every twist and turn of the fate of the men who had been involved in the historic discovery. Long dismissed by Egyptologists, the mummy's curse remains a part of popular supernatural belief. Roger Luckhurst explores why the myth has captured the British imagination across the centuries, and how it has impacted on popular culture. Tutankhamen was not the first curse story to emerge in British popular culture. This book uncovers the 'true' stories of two extraordinary Victorian gentlemen widely believed at the time to have been cursed by the artefacts they brought home from Egypt in the nineteenth century. These are weird and wonderful stories that weave together a cast of famous writers, painters, feted soldiers, lowly smugglers, respected men of science, disreputable society dames, and spooky spiritualists. Focusing on tales of the curse myth, Roger Luckhurst leads us through Victorian museums, international exhibitions, private collections, the battlefields of Egypt and Sudan, and the writings of figures like Arthur Conan Doyle, Rider Haggard and Algernon Blackwood. Written in an open and accessible style, this volume is the product of over ten years research in London's most curious archives. It explores how we became fascinated with Egypt and how this fascination was fuelled by myth, mystery, and rumour. Moreover, it provides a new and startling path through the cultural history of Victorian England and its colonial possessions.
