Anglican Church

 Spire,  All Saints Anglican Church, Whitby

This Gothic Revival style church built in 1865 is pretty old by Canadian standards. 

 Side doors

Sadly, this heritage church has twice been badly damaged by fire, once in 1927  and the second time in 2009.  Parishioners as well as other local citizens rallied to raise funds to restore this beautiful building.

I love the hinges on the doors!

 Stained glass windows

Yes, the Church windows I posted last Friday are part of this church, but towards the rear of the building. As you can see, these windows have reflections in them too.

In celebration of the old and wonderful "stuff", I  am connecting to Rubbish Tuesday HERE.

    Kocham budowle sakralne. One mają w sobie niepowtarzalny klimat. Słyszę w nich szepty modlitw i zapisane ludzkie pragnienia. Gdziekolwiek jestem, zwiedzam kościoły. Serdecznie gratuluję Ci pięknych zdjęć, które u Ciebie nieustannie podziwiam:-)

    The church and side door have a lovely medieval feel most commonly seen in Europe. It is a great entranceway to discover fascinating tidbits from the past inside this building.

    Have you ever brought yourself into St. George's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Oshawa (just off the 401)? It's also a real treat for the eyes and camera lens.

    This is a beautiful old church. I also like the fancy hinges on the doors. It's wonderful that the parish can keep the church 'up' which is not the case in many cities these days.

    No matter how many times rebuilt, the artisanship in the stonework, hinges and windows still shines and the copper roofs spire fits so well with the re brick. Lovely.
