The Church of Christ the Consoler is a Victorian Gothic Revival church built in the Early English style by William Burges.Шаблон:Sfn It is located in the grounds of Newby Hall at Skelton-on-Ure, in North Yorkshire, England. Burges was commissioned by George Robinson, 1st Marquess of Ripon, to build it as a tribute to the Marquess' brother-in-law, Frederick Vyner.Шаблон:Sfn The church is a Grade I listed building as of 6 March 1967,[1] and was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust on 14 December 1991.[2][3]

History

Frederick Vyner was "taken prisoner by Greek brigands in the neighbourhood of Athens April 11th 1870 and murdered by them April 21st."[4] A significant ransom had been demanded, and in part collected, before his murder. Frederick's mother, Lady Mary Vyner determined that the unused funds would be used to construct a memorial church on her Yorkshire estate, his sister, Lady Ripon, embarking on an identical project, building St Mary's Church on her estate at Studley Royal. Burges obtained the commissions for both churches in 1870, perhaps because of the connection between his greatest patron, John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, and Vyner, who had been friends at Oxford. The construction of the Church of Christ the Consoler began in 1871 and the church was complete by 1876.Шаблон:Sfn

Architecture and description

The exterior is constructed of grey Catraig stone, with Morcar stone for the mouldings and is in an Early English style.[1] The interior is faced with white limestone and exceptionally rich,[1] with members of Burges' favourite team, Thomas Nicholls and Lonsdale, contributing. It is particularly interesting as representing an architectural move from Burges' favourite Early French style to an English inspiration.Шаблон:Sfn Pevsner describes it thus: "Of determined originality, the impression is one of great opulence, even if of a somewhat elephantine calibre." Шаблон:Sfn

In 2007, architectural historian James Stevens Curl mentioned the church among five worthwhile buildings where "it is still possible to experience something of the Victorian mastery of colour, detail, and architectural grandeur", along with the palace of Westminster, Westminster Cathedral, All Saints' Church in Margaret Street and All Saints' Church in Maidenhead.[5]
