St Martin-on-the-Hill

St Martin-on-the-Hill est une église paroissiale de l'Église d'Angleterre (anglo-catholicisme) située à Scarborough dans le comté du Yorkshire du Nord.

1. Architecture

L'église est construite entre 1862 et le 11 juillet 1863 sur les plans de l'architecte néogothique George Frederick Bodley. Elle est constituée d'une façade à double pente, d'un clocher-tour commandant l'entrée au nord, d'une nef à claire-voie et collatéraux et d'un chœur. Le pignon ouest est orné d'une rosace. Le 16 décembre 1914, l'église est l'un des nombreux bâtiments de Scarborough endommagés lors du bombardement allemand de la ville (en). Le raid a eu lieu juste au moment où le service de communion de 8 heures commençait. Malgré le bruit et les dégâts, le révérend Charles Mackarness (en) a poursuivi l'office. Plus tard ce jour-là, le mariage de Richard Horsley et Winnifred Duphoit s'est déroulé comme prévu.

1. Mobilier

Une grande partie de la décoration et des vitraux est créée par l'entreprise Morris & Co. (en) qui a réalisé les premiers travaux. La décoration du plafond du chœur est de William Morris et Philip Webb. La chaire est décorée de dix panneaux peints par les préraphaélites Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Ford Madox Brown et William Morris. Le mur à l'arrière de l'autel présente l'Adoration des Mages d'Edward Burne-Jones. Le jubé et les panneaux du retable, ajout ultérieur de George Frederick Bodley, datent de 1889. Ils sont peints par Charles Edgar Buckeridge (en).

1. Orgue

Un orgue est installé en 1875 par les constructeurs Harrison and Harrison (en). Il est par la suite transféré à l'église de la Sainte Trinité à Sunningdale dans le Berkshire. L'orgue actuel conçu par Bodley est installé par la firme londonienne d'Henry Willis (en). Les peintures sur le soubassement du buffet sont réalisées par John Roddam Spencer Stanhope

St Martin's Vicarage

St Martin's Vicarage is a historic building in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The house was constructed as the vicarage of St Martin-on-the-Hill, Scarborough. Some sources date it to 1863, but Nikolaus Pevsner argues that it must be later, as inside there is stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe, which was manufactured around 1889. Like the church, it was designed by G. F. Bodley, but is in the Queen Anne style, similar to work by Norman Shaw. The building was grade II* listed in 1973. The vicarage is built of red brick, with moulded dressings, a string course and a tile roof. It has two storeys and attics, Three of the bays project under pediments and contain small-pane sash windows, and above each bay is a gable containing a window, over which is a pediment. Between the left two bays is a doorway, above which is a carved panel and a pediment.

St Andrew's United Reformed Church is a church in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The church was constructed for the Congregational Union of England and Wales, its third church in the town after ones on Eastborough and Westborough, and is now part of the United Reformed Church. It was built between 1864 and 1868, to a design by Henry Francis Lockwood and William Mawson, the funding coming from Titus Salt. It is in a 13th-century Gothic revival style, and is described by Nikolaus Pevsner as being "as spectacular as any Scarborough church". The building was grade II listed in 1973, and upgraded to grade II* in 1993. The church is built of stone. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south transepts, a chancel, a southwest steeple, and a northwest apse. The steeple has a two-stage tower with buttresses and clock faces, on which are four crocketted pinnacles and a spire, and at the north end is a rose window.

Wessex Court is a historic terrace of buildings in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The terrace was built in the 1840s, with the central section being the Crown Spa Hotel, and the wings being houses. The terrace was grade II* listed in 1953. Jimmy Savile purchased a flat in one of the buildings for the use of his mother, and after her death preserved it in her memory. Following Saville's death and the exposure of his crimes, the flat was purchased by the anti-child abuse campaigner Rodney Walker. The building is stuccoed, with rusticated ground floor, a continuous balcony above the ground floor, a moulded cornice, and a panelled parapet. The hotel has four storeys, the middle four bays projecting with Greek Doric columns on the ground floor and Corinthian columns on the upper floors, above which is a pediment containing a crown motif. The flanking wings have three storeys and attics, and each house has three bays. The windows are sashes, and all the ground floor openings have round-arched heads, the doorways with semicircular fanlights. Many original features of the hotel survive, while in 2009, a rooftop extension was added.
