Summary
[edit]DescriptionCroydon Parish Church, Croydon - geograph.org.uk - 1572459.jpg |
English: Croydon Parish Church, Croydon Croydon Parish Church is believed to have been founded in Saxon times, since there is a record of "a priest of Croydon" in 960, although the first record of a church building is in the Domesday Book (1086). The church has had close links with the Archbishops of Canterbury who had a Palace in Croydon. Much of that building still stands next to the church and is now the Old Palace School. Six Archbishops of Canterbury are buried in the church and many more would have worshipped here. Kings and Queens were regular visitors to the archbishops at Croydon - visits by Henry VII, Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I are all well documented. In its final medieval form, the church was mainly a Perpendicular-style structure, but this was severely damaged by fire in 1867, following which only the tower, south porch and outer walls remained. Under the direction of Sir George Gilbert Scott the church was rebuilt, incorporating the remains and essentially following the design of the medieval building, and was reconsecrated in 1870. It still contains several important monuments and fittings saved from the old church. |
