A little church with a long name. It is probable that this is an Anglo Saxon church. The walls are made of reused Roman stones, we are only a mile or so south of the wall.

St Pancras Church is the centrepiece of Widecombe village and is very obvious from any direction, especially when approaching from the east, down Widecombe Hill. The tall tower is a particular feature of this 14th century Perpendicular style church, referred to locally as the Cathedral of the Moor.

St. Panteleimon Monastery is one of the 20 self-governing Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Mount Athos. It is the only Russian Orthodox monastery on the Athos peninsula. It is ranked nineteenth in the Athonite, the hierarchical order of the twenty monasteries on Mount Athos.

This is a very large and splendid church for a small rural community. The village was originally in Devon, though it lies west of the Tamar and has always been part of the archdeaconry of Cornwall.

The history of St Patrick's is, shall we say, colourful.

St. Patrick's Cathedral, built in the 13th century, is the seat of the Anglican Church of Ireland. The building stands on a former place of worship dating back to the 5th century. The west tower was rebuilt by Archbishop Minot in 1370 after a fire and the spire dates from 1749. In 1666, the Cathedral Chapter donated the Chapel of the Virgin to the community of French Huguenot Protestants who had taken refuge in Ireland. Until 1816, a service was held every Sunday in French by a Huguenot pastor. In the 1860s, a major renovation was necessary, financed by Sir Benjamin Guinness (of the brewery of the same name). As a result of this renovation, many of the walls and decorations date from the Victorian era.

St Patrick's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of Killala and is one of the smallest cathedrals in Ireland. The present building was constructed in the 1670s, using rubble and stone from the medieval cathedral. The tower, spire and vestry were added to the building in 1817 by the architect James Paine.

St Patrick's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of Trim. It rivals its namesake in Armagh as the oldest Anglican cathedral in Ireland. The main tower of the building is a remnant of the medieval parish church of Trim, of which ruins remain behind the present building. Bishops have sat in the church since 1536, but it was not granted cathedral status until 1955.

The construction of St Patrick's Church began in 1840 and the first mass was celebrated in 1844. The task of building a new parish church was undertaken by Archdeacon Grant.

In 1885 Lord Windsor gave one acre of land to locate a church for the new Cardiff suburb of Grangetown. He financed the initial building costs of £4000. The foundation stone was laid in 1889 and the building was opened by the Bishop of Llandaff on 5 February 1890. A chancel was added in 1902.
