St. Mary's Church, Horncastle, Lincolnshire, England, dates from the early 13th century and is dedicated to Saint Mary. It serves the Ecclesiastical Parish of Horncastle and a grade II * listed building that was heavily restored by Ewan Christian between 1859 and 1861.〔 ==History== It is thought that a Roman church once stood on the site. This appears to have been succeeded by a Saxon Minister, although construction of the present building started c.1250. The building appears to have experienced two major works of restoration: * The first, which took place around 1660 once he had been restored as Vicar of Horncastle and is commemorated on the south wall near to the altar rails by a large metal painted plaque, is credited to The Rev'd Thomas Gibson. Gibson was ill treated during the Civil War and deprived of his living for some years. * The 1859-61 restoration is commemorated by a stained glass window in memory of The Rev'd Canon W H Milner, who is credited with being the primary driving force behind the restoration. Whilst remaining in regular use as the Parish Church of Horncastle, by 2001 a Roman Catholic congregation was also using the building for its Mass on Saturday evenings at 6.00pm and continues to have Mass there at that time.〔Woodhall Spa Catholic Parish Newsletter 26th October 2014〕 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. Mary's Church, Horncastle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
