Polwarth Kirk gravestone, Scotland
收藏资源简介:
Canmore Id 58498. Polwarth Parish Church, Scottish Borders, was built in 1703 on the site of an earlier church. It is surrounded by an oval-shaped burial-ground, which contains gravestones dating from the seventeenth century. A Latin inscription on the south wall of the church records that a church was first built on this site in the year 900, although the first known reference to a church here is a re-dedication to St Mungo in 1242. The 1703 building is rectangular on plan with a later square tower to the west and a nineteenth-century north aisle. It is harled, with dressings of smooth red sandstone. It incorporates an earlier burial-vault, used by the Marchmont family. In 1684, the vault famously served as the hiding-place of Sir Patrick Hume, who had been implicated in the Rye House plot, a conspiracy to assassinate King Charles II of England and his brother James, Duke of York. A crowned finial at the east end of the church is a reference to William of Orange, who restored the Hume's fortunes in 1688. Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
Canmore编号58498的波尔沃思教区教堂(Polwarth Parish Church)坐落于苏格兰边境地区,于1703年在一座早期教堂的旧址上建成。教堂被椭圆形墓地环绕,墓园内留存有17世纪的墓碑。 教堂南墙上的拉丁文铭文记载,此地首座教堂建于公元900年,但目前已知的最早关于该教堂的文献记录,是1242年将其重献给圣蒙戈(St Mungo)的祝圣仪式。 1703年建成的教堂平面呈矩形,西侧带有后世增建的方形塔楼,北侧耳堂则建于19世纪。建筑外立面采用粗灰泥(harled)饰面,装饰构件均由光滑的红色砂岩打造。该建筑整合了一座此前的家族墓室,曾为马奇蒙特家族(Marchmont family)所用。 1684年,这座墓室曾作为帕特里克·休姆爵士(Sir Patrick Hume)的藏身之处。帕特里克·休姆因卷入莱伊宫阴谋(Rye House Plot)——一场意图暗杀英格兰国王查理二世及其弟约克公爵詹姆斯的密谋——而被迫藏匿于此。 教堂东端的冠顶饰(crowned finial)是对奥兰治的威廉(William of Orange)的纪念,他在1688年恢复了休姆家族的家产与地位。 数据来源:Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
