n had seven churches ded

PreFire London had seven churches dedicated to the Archangel Michael, all but one (St Michael le Querne) of which were rebuilt after the Great Fire. The earliest record of St Michael's is as St Michael of Paternosterchierch and is dated 1219.[1] The suffix comes from its location on Paternoster Lane, (now College Cheap Jerseys Hill), which, in turn was named after the sellers of paternosters or rosaries based there. The suffix Royal is first recorded in the next century and refers to another nearby street, now vanished, called Le Ryole, which was a corruption of La Reole, a town in Bordeaux. This street was so named due to the presence of numerous wine merchants.A local resident in the early 15th century was Sir Richard Whittington,[2] four times Lord Mayor of London. One cheap jerseys of his earlier philanthropic acts, made in 1409, was to pay for the rebuilding and extension of St Michael Paternoster Royal after a vacant plot of land was acquired in Le Ryole. it was administered by a college of priests, in this wholesale jerseys case five, instead of a rector. It was commonly known as Whittington's College, or Whittington College.[3] Adjacent to the church, Whittington also founded an almshouse. The college was dissolved by Edward VI in 1548; but was reestablished in a new entity a few years later under Queen Mary.[4] The title seems in any case to have persisted for the church, giving the names of College nfl jerseys china Street,[5] and College Hill.[6] The almshouses moved to Highgate in 1808 and later to their present location in East Grinstead in 1966.Whittington was buried in St Michael's in 1423 on the south side of the altar near his wife, Alice. John Stow records that Whittington's body was dug up by the then rector, Thomas Mountain, during the reign of Edward VI, in the belief that he had been buried with treasure. He was not, so Mountain took his leaden shroud. The grave was dug up again during the reign of Mary I and his body recovered in lead. An attempt to find his grave in 1949 did uncover a mummified cat, but no Lord Mayor.Other worthies cheap nfl jerseys buried in the preFire church were William Oldhall (d.1459) Speaker of the House of Commons, Lord Mayors John Yonge (d.1466) and William Bayley (d.1524), Peter Blundell (d.1601) founder of Blundell's School, (mentioned in the novel Lorna Doone) and the Cavalier poet John Cleveland (d.1658).After the church's destruction in the Fire, the parish was united with that of St Martin Vintry, also destroyed but not rebuilt. Construction of a new church began in 1685 (one of the last of the 51 churches to be rebuilt) and stopped in 1688 owing to the financial uncertainty associated with the Glorious Revolution. Building began again the next year and finished in 1694. The steeple was built between 1713 and 1717.[7] The cost of the rebuilding totalled 8,937.A monument to another Lord Mayor, wholesale jerseys Sir Samuel Pennant, sculpted by Michael Rysback, survives from 1750. Pennant died from jail fever caught from prisoners in the court dock.St Michael's underwent a number of renovations in the 19th century, by James Elmes in 1820, William Butterfield in 1866 and Ewan Christian in 1894. Their work was lost on July 23, 1944 when the church was hit by a V1 flying bomb, leaving only its walls and tower.Services continued in the remaining shell until 1955. A proposal by the diocese to demolish the walls and preserve the tower only was successfully opposed by the City of cheap jerseys London Corporation, and the church restored by Elidir Davies between 1966 and 1968. It is the last City church to be restored. St Michael's was opened by The Duke of Edinburgh on December 19, 1968 as Headquarters of the Mission to Seamen (now Mission to Seafarers), an Anglican organisation that supports chaplains in ports around the world. Before the Second World War the south front was hemmed in by buildings. Following bomb damage, these buildings were cleared and Whittington Garden laid out on their Cheap NFL Jerseys site, so that St Michael's main faade is now on the south, along Upper Thames Street. The south front is faced with Portland stone and has six roundheaded windows with cherub keystones. The less prominent north and east fronts are of brick. The roof is balustraded.[8]Entrance is through the tower in the south west corner. This has a round headed window at the lowest level, then a circular window, then a square headed belfry window. At the top is a pierced parapet with square urns on the corners. The stone spire was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor and is similar to those of St Stephen Walbrook, St James Garlickhythe and, to a lesser extent, the west towers of St Paul's Cathedral. It is an open octagon formed by eight Ionic columns, each with its own entablature and cheap nfl jerseys topped by an urn. Above this is another, smaller, octagon with another eight columns with urns. Above the second octagon is a tiny dome surmounted by a pennant vane. The height of the tower and steeple is 128 church was designated a Grade I listed building on 4 January 1950.[9]St Michael's interior is partitioned, reflecting Cheap Jerseys the church's dual purpose. The west of the building, roughly corresponding with the plan to the original 13th century church, accommodates a hall, vestibule and the offices of the Mission to Seafarers.The chapel is housed in the larger, eastern, part of the church. The east wall includes three stained glass windows designed by John Hayward in 1968. The main window depicts St Michael trampling a redwinged Satan. The windows on either side show the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus[10] and Adam and Eve with St Gabriel and the serpent. On the south wall, another stained glass window depicts Dick Whittington with his cat.The reredos is original, with four Corinthian columns and two flaming urns. Before it are 17th century Baroque statues of Moses and Aaron, moved here from AllHallowstheGreat on that church's demolition in 1894: the statues' hands were blown off wholesale jerseys in the war and have been replaced; Moses previously held a pointer, indicating the Decalogue, while Aaron held a censor he now raises his hands in a cheap jerseys blessing.Also from AllHallowstheGreat is the elaborate chandelier, marked "Birmingham 1644". The organ case is a replica of the 1749 organ case taken from AllHallowstheGreat but destroyed in the War. It houses a Noel Mander organ. In front of the organ gallery is displayed the coat of arms of William III.
