点评:This church is without a doubt a stunning attribute to the streetscape, but it is also fenced off so you can't get near it. I could see a small garden to one side, but it was hard to distinguish whether there was a memorial in it.
When its foundation stone was laid in 1869 about 800 people from the surrounding district attended the event. The land for the church was donated by Michael Dawson. The church came at the cost of £6000.
In those days there was an Italian family in the parish. Sebastian Danielli and his wife Harriet Bagatti had arrived in Brunswick in 1859 after being married in Milan the previous year. All their children were born in Brunswick. They may have been the only Italian family in the area in those early days. They suggested Saint Ambrose's as the name for the church because St Ambrose was a much loved bishop in Milan in the 4th century.
In the 1890s Brunswick's most famous hotel, the Sarah Sands, was the base for Orange Lodge Protestant marches culminating in a skirmish with Irish Catholics in 1896. So it seems the Catholic's were not always popular in the area.
翻译:这座教堂无疑是街景的一大特色,但它也被围起来,所以你无法靠近它。我能看到一侧有一个小花园,但很难分辨里面是否有纪念馆。
1869 年奠基时,来自周边地区的约 800 人参加了此次活动。教堂的土地是由迈克尔道森捐赠的。教堂的造价为 6000 英镑。
那时,教区里有一个意大利人家庭。 Sebastian Danielli 和他的妻子 Harriet Bagatti 在前一年在米兰结婚后于 1859 年抵达不伦瑞克。他们所有的孩子都出生在不伦瑞克。他们可能是早期该地区唯一的意大利家庭。他们建议将圣安布罗斯教堂命名为圣安布罗斯教堂,因为圣安布罗斯教堂是 4 世纪米兰一位深受爱戴的主教。
在 1890 年代,不伦瑞克最著名的酒店 Sarah Sands 是 Orange Lodge 新教徒游行的基地,最终在 1896 年与爱尔兰天主教徒发生小规模冲突。因此,天主教徒似乎并不总是在该地区受欢迎。
