Kyrka i Chester, England
St Michael's Church är en överflödig kyrka som står i hörnet av Bridge Street och Pepper Street i staden Chester , Cheshire , England. Det är antecknat i National Heritage List för England som en utpekad klass II- märkt byggnad . Den tidigare kyrkan användes tidigare som ett kulturarvscentrum fram till mars 2019, då den öppnade som Chester: A Life Story , en historisk attraktion som spårar livet för Chester och dess invånare under de senaste två tusen åren. Det öppnades sedan igen 2021 som Sick to Death, en historisk attraktion som skildrar medicinens resa genom tiderna.
Historia
En kyrka på platsen brändes ner i den stora branden i Chester 1188. Det är inte känt när en stenkyrka först byggdes men koret byggdes 1496. Kyrkovärdarnas berättelser visar att kyrkan nästan helt återuppbyggdes 1582 Under belägringen av Chester på 1640-talet användes kyrkan som ett fängelse. 1678 breddades koret och 1710 byggdes ett torn 70 fot (21 m) högt. Mycket av kyrkan byggdes om av James Harrison 1849–50. Den förklarades överflödig 1972. Den förvärvades av Chester City Council och öppnades 1975 som Storbritanniens första kulturarvscentrum. Dess församlingsböcker från 1560 har bevarats.
Arkitektur
Kyrkan är byggd i gul sandsten med grått skiffertak . Dess plan består av ett västertorn, ett långhus med norrskepp och ett kor. Tornet är i tre etapper. Den södra änden av Bridge Street Row passerar genom den öppna första etappen av tornet, med stentrappor upp till raden i norr och ner till trottoaren i söder. Den andra etappen har tvåljusfönster med en urtavla på västra sidan och en tom urtavla i söder. Den tredje etappen har klocköppningar, ovanför vilken finns en stråkbana med gargoyler . På toppen finns en krenelerad bröstvärn med åtta krökta tinnar och en vindflöjel. Den södra väggen är också krenelerad. På korgaveln finns ett slutkors . Internt har den norra arkaden från 1400-talet med åttkantiga pirer och kortaket från 1496 behållits. I kyrkan finns ett monument över Roger Comberbach, som dog 1771, av Benjamin Bromfield. Det målade glaset i fönstret i den östra änden av norra gången är av Clayton och Bell .
