Talk:St Etheldreda's Church, London

Church Founder's Name?

The Bishop of Ely who obtained the license to build St. Etheldreda's is called John De Kirkeby according to the churches' official website[1], and John Le Franceis in the Pitkin Guide (print, see sources). Does anyone know whether these are the same person? bencoland 16:00, 22 October 2006

Designer of the East Window

The Pitkin Guide lists Edward Nuttgens as the designer of the stained glass of the east window, but Joseph Lutyens is named on the official website [2]. Does anyone have a source on this? Bencoland 15:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Fr Kit Cunningham

The way I see it is that you can't just say he handed back his OBE without saying why. If he denied the allegation, I might be more careful, but as he admitted it and handed back his OBE and wrote a letter of appolgy, I think the comment is fine. There will be a TV program on the BBC next Tuesday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philadelphia 2009 (talk • contribs) 22:14, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

You still cannot make speculative claims in articles regardless of how obvious the reasons may be to you. References must be provided. Anglicanus (talk) 08:24, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Removed unsourced content

In this edit, User:BigCat82 removed this unsourced content that had been added by an editor who was using Wikipedia:GettingStarted. I may have missed it, but I don't see any discussion of this here on the talk page, or on User:Marybendes talk page (the new editor).

I'm putting this content here, in case anyone is able to find any sources which we can use, as this is nicely-worded and potentially useful if verifiable.

I'm now going to add a comment to Marybendes talk page, although it may be too late to retrieve her.

Sister Church in Hertfordshire

St Etheldredra's Church in London has a sister church in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Also called St Etheldreda's Church,their link with St Etheldreda is also through the Bishops of Ely, who owned the manor of Hatfield from about 930 until 1538. The present church dates from the 13th century, although little remains of the mediaeval building. During the 15th century the Tower was constructed by Cardinal Morton and later the Brocket Chapel was added. The Salisbury Chapel was built during the 17th century; shortly after the completion of Hatfield House, which stands nearby. Finally during the 19th century there was major reconstruction of the Nave and Roof, necessitated by the poor state of the fabric. The Tower was restored 20 years ago.

It is thought that the Hatfield church was a half way stopping point between Ely and London, being around a days horse back ride from both Ely and London. If you look at the website of the Hatfield church www.stetheldreda.org, in the gallery area you will see 360 degree photos which show many similarities with the London church, in particular the archways and ceiling. An interesting array of mediaeval graffiti has also been found in the Hatfield church.

Having looked into this more, if we can find good sources this should probably go into the Hatfield, Hertfordshire article, with a brief mention and link here. Skittle (talk) 16:39, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The interior of St Etheldreda's Church, a Catholic church in Ely Place, London. One of the oldest Catholic churches in England, it was built as the chapel for the Bishop of Ely during the reign of Edward I (r. 1272–1307). Beginning in the sixteenth century, following the English Reformation and prohibition of Mass, it was used by a number of Anglican groups. The church was acquired by the Catholic Church, which had experienced a revival, in 1874. Today part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Westminster, St Etheldreda's was classified as a Grade I listed building in 1951.Photograph: David Iliff
