Pese a ello, existe una fuente que estima que unos Consultado el 15 de octubre de Consultado el 14 de octubre de What craziness is this, a day in that London on a weekday? Well, working one day last weekend, and another next weekend, meant I took a day in Lieu. And top of my list of places to visit was St Magnus. This would be the fifth time I have tried to get inside, and the first since I wrote to the church asking whether they would be open a particular Saturday, and then any Saturday. Letters which were ignored.

Its prominent location and beauty has prompted many mentions in literature. Brownlow and Rose Maylie on London Bridge, "the tower of old Saint Saviour's Church, and the spire of Saint Magnus, so long the giant-warders of the ancient bridge, were visible in the gloom". The church's spiritual and architectural importance is celebrated in the poem The Waste Land by T. Eliot, who adds in a footnote that "the interior of St. Magnus Martyr is to my mind one of the finest among Wren's interiors".

The church is dedicated to St Magnus the Martyr, earl of Orkney, who died on 16 April in or around the precise year is unknown. Ronald, the son of Magnus's sister Gunhild Erlendsdotter, became Earl of Orkney in and in initiated the construction of St. Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. A metropolitan bishop of London attended the Council of Arles in , which indicates that there must have been a Christian community in Londinium by this date, and it has been suggested that a large aisled building excavated in near Tower Hill can be compared with the 4th-century Cathedral of St Tecla in Milan.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the area of the bridgehead was not occupied from the early 5th century until the early 10th century. Environmental evidence indicates that the area was waste ground during this period, colonised by elder and nettles. Following Alfred's decision to reoccupy the walled area of London in , new harbours were established at Queenhithe and Billingsgate. A bridge was in place by the early 11th century, a factor which would have encouraged the occupation of the bridgehead by craftsmen and traders.

The waterfront at this time was a hive of activity, with the construction of embankments sloping down from the riverside wall to the river. Thames Street appeared in the second half of the 11th century immediately behind north of the old Roman riverside wall and in a piling from this was discovered during the excavation of the foundations of a nearby building. It now stands at the base of the church tower. The small ancient parish[34] extended about yards along the waterfront either side of the old bridge, from 'Stepheneslane' later Churchehawlane or Church Yard Alley and 'Oystergate' later called Water Lane or Gully Hole on the West side to 'Retheresgate' a southern extension of Pudding Lane on the East side, and was centred on the crossroads formed by Fish Street Hill originally Bridge Street, then New Fish Street and Thames Street.

The latter was of considerable importance as the fishmongers had their shops on the wharf. The tenement was devised by Andrew Hunte to the Rector and Churchwardens in In the Abbot of Westminster and the Prior of Bermondsey agreed that the advowson of St Magnus should be divided equally between them. Later in the s, on their presentation, the Archdeacon of London inducted his nephew as parson. Between the late Saxon period and there was a series of wooden bridges across the Thames, but in that year a stone bridge was completed.

The Church had from early times encouraged the building of bridges and this activity was so important it was perceived to be an act of piety - a commitment to God which should be supported by the giving of alms. Until the bridge was aligned with Fish Street Hill, so the main entrance into the City from the south passed the West door of St Magnus on the north bank of the river. After some years of rivalry a dispute arose between the church and the chapel over the offerings given to the chapel by the pilgrims.

The matter was resolved by the brethren of the chapel making an annual contribution to St Magnus. The church grew in importance. On 21 November a grant of land was made to the parson of St Magnus for the enlargement of the church. Magnus the Martyr, London, and there acknowledged the theft and abjured the realm. He had no chattels. In "came King Edward and his wife [Eleanor] from the Holy Land and were crowned at Westminster on the Sunday next after the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady [15 August], being the Feast of Saint Magnus [19 August]; and the Conduit in Chepe ran all the day with red wine and white wine to drink, for all such as wished.

An important religious guild, the Confraternity de Salve Regina, was in existence by , having been founded by the "better sort of the Parish of St Magnus" to sing the anthem 'Salve Regina' every evening. The letters patent of the fraternity of St Mary and St Thomas the Martyr of Salve Regina in St Magnus dated 26 May mention that the fraternity had petitioned for a charter on the grounds that the society was not duly founded. In the midth century the Pope was the Patron of the living and appointed five rectors to the benefice.

Henry Yevele, the master mason whose work included the rebuilding of Westminster Hall and the naves of Westminster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral, was a parishioner and rebuilt the chapel on London Bridge between and He served as a warden of London Bridge and was buried at St Magnus on his death in His monument was extant in John Stow's time, but was probably destroyed by the fire of In The General Prologue of Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales the five guildsmen "were clothed alle in o lyveree Of a solempne and a greet fraternitee"[58] and may be thought of as belonging to the guild in the parish of St Magnus, or one like it.

St Magnus Corner at the north end of London Bridge was an important meeting place in mediaeval London, where notices were exhibited, proclamations read out and wrongdoers punished. In pictures from the midth century the old church looks very similar to the present-day St Giles without Cripplegate in the Barbican. In accordance with the Catholic church's desire to restore ecclesiastical pageantry in England, the funeral was a splendid affair, ending in a magnificent dinner.

Lowe was included in a return of recusants in the Diocese of Rochester in ,[69] but was buried at St Magnus on 6 February His eldest son, Timothy died , was knighted in Having gained converts to Catholicism between and , he was arrested whilst walking with his mother near London Bridge, committed to The Clink and executed at Tyburn on 8 October Ben Jonson is believed to have been married at St Magnus in The patronage of St Magnus, having previously been in the Abbots and Convents of Westminster and Bermondsey who presented alternatively , fell to the Crown on the suppression of the monasteries.

In , Queen Mary, by letters patent, granted it to the Bishop of London and his successors. The church had a series of distinguished rectors in the second half of the 16th and first half of the 17th century, including Myles Coverdale Rector , John Young Rector , Theophilus Aylmer Rector , Archdeacon of London and son of John Aylmer , and Cornelius Burges Rector Coverdale was buried in the chancel of St Bartholomew-by-the-Exchange, but when that church was pulled down in his remains were removed to St Magnus.

On 5 November the churchwardens were ordered to break, or cause to be broken, in two parts all the altar stones in the church. In March Archbishop Parker caused great consternation among many clergy by his edicts prescribing what was to be worn and by his summoning the London clergy to Lambeth to require their compliance.

ULTRAMUNDO: 08/01/ - 09/01/

Coverdale excused himself from attending. Separatist congregations started to emerge after and the first such, who called themselves 'Puritans' or 'Unspottyd Lambs of the Lord', was discovered close to St Magnus at Plumbers' Hall in Thames Street on 19 June St Magnus narrowly escaped destruction in A later edition of Stow's Survey records that "On the 13th day of February, between eleven and twelve at night, there happened in the house of one Briggs, a Needle-maker near St Magnus Church, at the North end of the Bridge, by the carelessness of a Maid-Servant setting a tub of hot sea-coal ashes under a pair of stairs, a sad and lamentable fire, which consumed all the buildings before eight of the clock the next morning, from the North end of the Bridge to the first vacancy on both sides, containing forty-two houses; water then being very scarce, the Thames being almost frozen over.

Parliamentarian rule and the more Protestant ethos of the s led to the removal or destruction of "superstitious" and "idolatrous" images and fittings. Glass painters such as Baptista Sutton, who had previously installed "Laudian innovations", found new employment by repairing and replacing these to meet increasingly strict Protestant standards. In January Sutton replaced 93 feet of glass at St Magnus and in June he was called back to take down the "painted imagery glass" and replace it.

This was a time of high tension following the trial and execution of the Earl of Strafford and rumours of army and popish plots were rife. The Protestation Oath, with its pledge to defend the true religion "against all Popery and popish innovation", triggered demands from parishioners for the removal of the rails as popish innovations which the Protestation had bound them to reform.

The minister arranged a meeting between those for and against the pulling down of the rails, but was unsuccessful in reaching a compromise and it was feared that they would be demolished by force. Joseph Caryl was incumbent from until his ejection in In he was reportedly living near London Bridge and preaching to an Independent congregation that met at various places in the City.

During the Great Plague of , the City authorities ordered fires to be kept burning night and day, in the hope that the air would be cleansed. Despite its escape in , the church was one of the first buildings to be destroyed in the Great Fire of London in Farriner, a former churchwarden of St Magnus, was buried in the middle aisle of the church on 11 December , perhaps within a temporary structure erected for holding services.

The parish engaged the master mason George Dowdeswell to start the work of rebuilding in The work was carried forward between and under the direction of Sir Christopher Wren, the body of the church being substantially complete by The nave and aisles are paved with freestone flags. The large clock projecting from the tower was a well-known landmark in the city as it hung over the roadway of Old London Bridge.

Tradition says "that it was erected in consequence of a vow made by the donor, who, in the earlier part of his life, had once to wait a considerable time in a cart upon London Bridge, without being able to learn the hour, when he made a promise, that if he ever became successful in the world, he would give to that Church a public clock The sword rest in the church, designed to hold the Lord Mayor's sword and mace when he attended divine service "in state", dates from Shortly before his death in , Duncombe commissioned an organ for the church, the first to have a swell-box, by Abraham Jordan father and son.

The above-said Abraham Jordan gives notice to all masters and performers, that he will attend every day next week at the said Church, to accommodate all those gentlemen who shall have a curiosity to hear it". The organ case, which remains in its original state, is looked upon as one of the finest existing examples of the Grinling Gibbons's school of wood carving. Other organists have included the blind organist George Warne —, organist until his appointment to the Temple Church , James Coward —80, organist who was also organist to the Crystal Palace and renowned for his powers of improvisation and George Frederick Smith FRCO —, organist and Professor of Music at the Guildhall School of Music.

The hymn tune "St Magnus", usually sung at Ascensiontide to the text "The head that once was crowned with thorns", was written by Jeremiah Clarke in and named for the church. Canaletto drew St Magnus and old London Bridge as they appeared in the late s. A serious fire broke out on 18 April in an oil shop at the south east corner of the church, which consumed most of the church roof and did considerable damage to the fabric.

The fire burnt warehouses to the south of the church and a number of houses on the northern end of London Bridge. As part of the bridge improvements, overseen by the architect Sir Robert Taylor, a new pedestrian walkway was built along the eastern side of the bridge. With the other buildings gone St Magnus blocked the new walkway. Internally a lobby was created at the West end under the organ gallery and a screen with fine octagonal glazing inserted.

A new Vestry was built to the South of the church. By the noise level from the activities of Billingsgate Fish Market had become unbearable and the large windows on the north side of the church were blocked up leaving only circular windows high up in the wall. Turner painted the church in the mids. In the church was "repaired and beautified at a very considerable expense. During the reparation the east window, which had been closed, was restored, and the interior of the fabric conformed to the state in which it was left by its great architect, Sir Christopher Wren.

In the interval the church received such tasteful and elegant decorations, that it may now compete with any church in the metropolis. St Magnus ceased to be the gateway to London as it had been for over years. Peter de Colechurch[] had been buried in the crypt of the chapel on the bridge and his bones were unceremoniously dumped in the River Thames. They now stand in the churchyard. Wren's church of St Michael Crooked Lane was demolished, the final service on Sunday 20 March having to be abandoned due to the effects of the building work.

The Rector of St Michael preached a sermon the following Sunday at St Magnus lamenting the demolition of his church with its monuments and "the disturbance of the worship of his parishioners on the preceeding Sabbath". Fenoulhet in and by Charles Ginner in By the early s traffic congestion had become a problem[] and Lower Thames Street was widened over the next decade[] to form part of a significant new east-west transport artery the A A lectureship at St Michael Crooked Lane, which was transferred to St Magnus in , was endowed by the wills of Thomas and Susannah Townsend in and respectively.

During the second half of the 19th century the rectors were Alexander McCaul, DD —, Rector , who coined the term 'Judaeo Christian' in a letter dated 17 October ,[] and his son Alexander Israel McCaul —, curate , rector In it was reported that the Bishop of London was to hold an inquiry as to the desirability of uniting the benefices of St George Botolph Lane and St Magnus. The patronage of the living was acquired in the late 19th century by Sir Henry Peek Bt. Peek was a generous philanthropist who was instrumental in saving both Wimbledon Common and Burnham Beeches from development.

His grandson, Sir Wilfred Peek Bt.

Peek, an ardent Freemason, held the office of Grand Chaplain of England. The Times recorded that his memorial service in July "was of a semi-Masonic character, Mr Peek having been a prominent Freemason". St Magnus, in the s, was "buried in the stink of Billingsgate fish-market, against which incense was a welcome antidote". A report in proposed the demolition of nineteen City churches, including St Magnus. Eliot wrote that the threatened churches gave "to the business quarter of London a beauty which its hideous banks and commercial houses have not quite defaced.

The loss of these towers, to meet the eye down a grimy lane, and of these empty naves, to receive the solitary visitor at noon from the dust and tumult of Lombard Street, will be irreparable and unforgotten. Part of the burial ground of St Michael Crooked Lane, located between Fish Street Hill and King William Street, survived as an open space until when it was compulsorily purchased to facilitate the extension of the Docklands Light Railway into the City. The interior of the church was restored by Martin Travers in , in a neo-baroque style,[] reflecting the Anglo-Catholic character of the congregation[] following the appointment of Henry Joy Fynes-Clinton as Rector.

Fynes-Clinton held very strong Anglo-Catholic views, and proceeded to make St Magnus as much like a baroque Roman Catholic church as possible. However, "he was such a loveable character with an old-world courtesy which was irresistible, that it was difficult for anyone to be unpleasant to him, however much they might disapprove of his views".

A response from his parishioners of "Ora pro nobis" after "Omnes sancti Angeli et Archangeli" in the Litany of the Saints would elicit a pause and the correction "No, Orate pro nobis. He also erected a statue of Our Lady of Walsingham and arranged pilgrimages to the Norfolk shrine, where he was one of the founding Guardians. At the midday service on 1 March , J. Kensit, leader of the Protestant Truth Society, got up and protested against the form of worship. St Magnus was one of the churches that held special services before the opening of the second Anglo-Catholic Congress in In July Fr Fynes-Clinton, with two members of his congregation, travelled to Kirkwall to be present at the th anniversary celebrations of St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall.

During their stay they visited Egilsay and were shown the spot where St Magnus had been slain. Later Fr Fynes-Clinton was present at a service held at the roofless church of St Magnus on Egilsay, where he suggested to his host Mr Fryer, the minister of the Cathedral, that the congregations of Kirkwall and London should unite to erect a permanent stone memorial on the traditional site where Earl Magnus had been murdered.

In a cairn was built of local stone on Egilsay. It stands 12 feet high and is 6 feet broad at its base. The memorial was dedicated on 7 September and a bronze inscription on the monument reads "erected by the Rector and Congregation of St Magnus the Martyr by London Bridge and the Minister and Congregation of St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall to commemorate the traditional spot where Earl Magnus was slain, AD circa and to commemorate the Octocentenary of St Magnus Cathedral ".

A bomb which fell on London Bridge in during the Blitz of World War II blew out all the windows and damaged the plasterwork and the roof of the north aisle. Some minor changes were made to the parish boundary in , including the transfer to St Magnus of an area between Fish Street Hill and Pudding Lane. In the evening of that day a reception was held in the large chamber of Caxton Hall, when between three and four hundred guests assembled.

Fr Fynes-Clinton was succeeded as rector in by Fr Colin Gill,[] who remained as incumbent until his death in In the Templeman Commission proposed a radical restructuring of the churches in the City Deanery. St Magnus was identified as one of the 12 churches that would remain as either a parish or an 'active' church. In addition to liturgical music of a high standard, St Magnus is the venue for a wide range of musical events. The Clemens non Papa Consort, founded in , performs in collaboration with the production team Concert Bites as the church's resident ensemble.

Martin Travers modified the high altar reredos, adding paintings of Moses and Aaron and the Ten Commandments between the existing Corinthian columns and reconstructing the upper storey. Above the reredos Travers added a painted and gilded rood. The glazed east window, which can be seen in an early photograph of the church, appears to have been filled in at this time.

A new altar with console tables was installed and the communion rails moved outwards to extend the size of the sanctuary. Two old door frames were used to construct side chapels and placed at an angle across the north-east and south-east corners of the church. One, the Lady Chapel, was dedicated to the Rector's parents in and the other was dedicated to Christ the King. Originally, a baroque aumbry was used for Reservation of the Blessed Sacrament, but later a tabernacle was installed on the Lady Chapel altar and the aumbry was used to house a relic of the True Cross.

The interior was made to look more European by the removal of the old box pews and the installation of new pews with cut-down ends. Two new columns were inserted in the nave to make the lines regular. The Wren-period pulpit by the joiner William Grey[] was opened up and provided with a soundboard and crucifix. Travers also designed the statue of St Magnus of Orkney, which stands in the south aisle, and the statue of Our Lady of Walsingham.

On the north wall there is a Russian Orthodox icon, painted in The modern stations of the cross in honey-coloured Japanese oak are the work of Robert Randall and Ashley Sands. The other windows on the north side are by Alfred Wilkinson and date from to The stained glass windows in the south wall, which are by Lawrence Lee and date from to , represent lost churches associated with the parish: The church possesses a fine model of Old London Bridge. One of the tiny figures on the bridge appears out of place in the mediaeval setting, wearing a policeman's uniform.

This is a representation of the model-maker, David T. Aggett, who is a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Plumbers and was formerly in the police service. The Mischiefs by Fire Act and the Fires Prevention Metropolis Act placed a requirement on every parish to keep equipment to fight fires. The church owns two historic fire engines that belonged to the parish of St Michael, Crooked Lane.

The whereabouts of the other, which was misappropriated and sold at auction in , is currently unknown. In many bodies were disinterred from the crypt and reburied at the St Magnus's plot at Brookwood Cemetery, which remains the church's burial ground. Prior to the Great Fire of the old tower had a ring of five bells, a small saints bell and a clock bell. The metal was used to cast three new bells, by William Eldridge of Chertsey in ,[] with a further saints bell cast that year by Hodson.

A new tower was completed in and it is likely that these bells were transferred to it. However, the tenor became cracked in and it was decided to replace the bells with a new ring of eight. Between and the exact date of which is unknown , the ring was increased to ten with the addition of two trebles given by two former ringing Societies, the Eastern Youths and the British Scholars.

The second bell had to be recast in by Robert Catlin, and the tenor was recast in by Thomas Mears of Whitechapel,[] just in time to ring for the opening of the new London Bridge. In , the treble was said to be "worn out" and so was scrapped, together with the saints bell, while a new treble was cast by Thomas Mears. The 10 bells were removed for safe keeping in and stored in the churchyard. They were taken to Whitechapel Bell Foundry in whereupon it was discovered that four of them were cracked.

After a long period of indecision, fuelled by lack of funds and interest, the bells were finally sold for scrap in A fund was set up on 19 September , led by Dickon Love, a member of the Ancient Society of College Youths, with a view to installing a new ring of 12 bells in the tower in a new frame. This was the first of three new rings of bells he has installed in the City of London the others being at St Dunstan-in-the-West and St James Garlickhythe.

The tenor weighed 26cwt 3qtr 9 lbs kg and the new bells were designed to be in the same key as the former ring of ten. They were consecrated by the Bishop of London on 3 March in the presence of the Lord Mayor[] and the ringing dedicated on 26 October by the Archdeacon of London. The first peal on the twelve was rung on 29 November of Cambridge Surprise Maximus.

The bells are currently rung every Sunday around Every other June, newly elected wardens of the Fishmongers' Company, accompanied by the Court, proceed on foot from Fishmongers' Hall[] to St Magnus for an election service. Two former rectors have served as master of the company,[] which holds all its services at the church. St Magnus is also the ward church for the Ward of Bridge and Bridge Without, which elects one of the city's aldermen.

Between and there were separate aldermen for Bridge Within and Bridge Without, the former ward being north of the river and the latter representing the City's area of control in Southwark. The Bridge Ward Club was founded in to "promote social activities and discussion of topics of local and general interest and also to exchange Ward and parochial information" and holds its annual carol service at St Magnus. Another great trip to another fascinated place in Libya, I am just back from Al-Haruj al Aswad mountain in central Libya.

The Haruj field contains about volcanoes, 30 of which are small shield volcanoes with heights of between and m. Thanks to my uncle who encourage and support me to go there, hopefully you visit his stream and comment his photo, he is a big Sahara fan!! Although I am not finished from first trip the Acacus mountain one, but I will start this series! Did GlobalFoundries just become an pound Fab gorilla? The move is not entirely unexpected, but rather a consequence of events that had nothing to do with semiconductor industry: Chartered Semiconductor is one of golden eggs in Singaporean's government investment arm [Temasek Holdings Pte], who is feeling the pain of global economy slowdown and the changes in companies owned by Temasek were obvious.

As Singapore Airlines went through ownership change [now mostly owned by Temasek] the investment arm needed the cash to complete the transaction and Abu Dhabi's ATIC rode into town. ATIC was interested in buying its competition, but when an opportunity like this arises, there isn't much you can do but to take it. The acquisition of Chartered Semi puts GlobalFoundries in a role of an pound gorilla in the contract manufacturing space. First GlobalFoundries signed the deal to manufacture chips for a chip maker [STMicroelectronics], and now the GF owner is buying one of own largest competitors.

In case you're unfamiliar with Chartered semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, the foundry owns six cleanrooms in a giant fab complex in Singapore, with production based on mm and mm wafers. Total output of the company is also very interesting:. So, we have , WSM [wafer starts per month], or around 2,06 million mm wafers per year, plus an additional , mm wafers.

This manufacturing capacity is nothing short of impressive, even though the majority is in less competitive mm wafer space. If you would compare Chartered's Fab7 [mm2 one] to GlobalFoundries' Fab1 complex in Dresden, you might be surprised at the differences in size, since Fab7 is massive: Yes, it is true that currently "only" 27, wafer starts can be in 40nm, but SOI capacity is quite impressive. Clean room space is also quite impressive - six facilities with a grand total of , square feet [71, If you compare that to current manufacturing facilities in Dresden, Module 1 [14, m2 - , sqft] and currently upgrading Module 2 [16, m2 - , sqft], you can see that GlobalFoundries wants to go from , sqft [31, m2] in to 1.

All in all, this is quite a significant jump in manufacturing space, as there aren't exactly many contract manufacturers who can or plan to annually output almost 1. In fact, one could put a question that GlobalFoundries is doing this to attract the heavy weights, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo - but Qualcomm and nVidia as well.

Over the past several months, we featured various articles on upcoming chips, but they all have one thing in common: Qualcomm's quad-core ARM System-on-Chip is quite nice, but the company has to have mm wafers available to score a profit. Thus, a foundry has to position itself aggressively and there is no doubt that this move puts GlobalFoundries on the map of TSMC and Intel challenger.

While TSMC still has the overall lead in number of wafers it can produce, the numbers here show that GlobalFoundries is catching up and overtaking in mm wafer arena - a worrisome trend.
