St Edward's Church Leek的点评
点评:During a week long break in the Peak District we were based in Crowdecote, which is just over 10 miles north east of Leek. We had seen a recommendation to visit Leek, a traditional market town, which is lesser known than some of the more touristy Peak District towns. We parked in the Angle Street car park and when we walked into the town we were not disappointed.
En route we passed St Edward the Confessor Church and were informed that it would remain open until 4pm. So having spent a pleasant couple of hours around the town we popped in here on our way back to the car. Beautiful tapestries and stained glass windows inside.
As their website so clearly states:-
St Edward’s Church in Leek is a church community that meets in a beautiful medieval building but has a timeless mission:
1. good news for the poor …
2. freedom for the prisoner ….
3. sight for the blind ….
4. liberty for the oppressed …..
翻译:在 Peak District 为期一周的休息期间,我们的总部设在 Crowdecote,它位于 Leek 东北方 10 多英里处。我们看到有人建议我们参观 Leek,这是一个传统的集镇,它不如一些旅游观光的峰区城镇鲜为人知。我们把车停在 Angle Street 的停车场,当我们走进小镇时,我们并没有失望。
在途中,我们经过圣爱德华忏悔教堂,并被告知它将一直开放到下午 4 点。因此,在镇上度过愉快的几个小时后,我们在返回汽车的路上突然来到这里。里面有漂亮的挂毯和彩色玻璃窗。
正如他们的网站所明确指出的那样:-
Leek 的圣爱德华教堂是一个教堂社区,在一座美丽的中世纪建筑中聚会,但有一个永恒的使命:
1. 穷人的好消息……
2. 囚犯的自由……。
3. 盲人的视力……。
4. 被压迫者的自由……
