St Mary Magdelene Church的点评
点评：What first strikes you about the red sandstone St Mary Magdalene Church (now known as Taunton Minster since March 2022) is its very tall tower (158 feet high to the top of its pinnacles), particularly when seen from the town centre down Hammet Street. The church's original tower was built at the beginning of the 16th century, with the money for its construction coming from Taunton's wool trade, but the tower you see today is actually a replica as it was rebuilt in the middle of the 19th century by Sir Gilbert Scott (who was also the architect of the Albert Memorial in London). Inside the church there are quite a few statues, most of which date from the 19th century restoration, and memorials; most notably the south aisle, which is also known as Soldiers' Corner. Soldiers' Corner is dedicated to the Somerset Light Infantry and there is a Book of Remembrance of those who died during the Second World War along with many other plaques. The East Window (which was presented in 1912) is special in that it was paid for by the First Battalion of the Somerset Light Infantry with each member of the Regiment donating one day's pay towards its cost. The figures depicted in the window have an association with either the Regiment or Taunton. If you are visiting Taunton this is one place which should be on your "to do" list.
翻译：红砂岩圣玛丽抹大拉教堂（现自 2022 年 3 月起更名为汤顿大教堂）给人的第一印象是其非常高的塔楼（尖顶高 158 英尺），尤其是从市中心的哈米特街向下看时。教堂的原始塔楼建于 16 世纪初，其建造资金来自汤顿的羊毛贸易，但您今天看到的塔楼实际上是复制品，因为它是由吉尔伯特·斯科特爵士（他也是伦敦阿尔伯特纪念碑的建筑师）在 19 世纪中叶重建的。教堂内有不少雕像，其中大部分可追溯到 19 世纪的修复和纪念碑；最著名的是南侧走道，也被称为士兵角。士兵角是献给萨默塞特轻步兵的，那里有一本纪念二战期间阵亡者的纪念书以及许多其他牌匾。东窗（于 1912 年赠送）的特别之处在于它由萨默塞特轻步兵团第一营出资建造，该团的每位成员都捐献了一天的薪水。窗户上描绘的人物与该团或汤顿有关。如果您要访问汤顿，那么这个地方应该列在您的“必去”清单上。
