Christ Church

chiesa Regno Unito
Christ Church, Downend, Gloucestershire was built as a chapel of ease to St James, Mangotsfield, in 1831 and was elevated to a parish church in 1874 when an Act of Parliament made Downend a independent parish. It contains memorial plaques to WG Grace and other members of the Grace family. During the decade before its elevation to parish church status the curate of Downend had been an Irishman, the Rev John Walter Dann. It's likely that, from 1874-1878, the then Vicar of Mangotsfield, the Rev Alfred Peache, doubled as Vicar of Downend with Dann as curate probably taking most of the services. Then, in 1878, Dann was ordained Vicar and he remained the incumbent until his death in 1915. Almost certainly Dann was the first occupant of the Vicarage. Alfred Peache and John Dann were both interesting characters. Alfred, who was born in Lambeth in 1818, was the only surviving son of the industrialist James Courthope Peache. He, amongst other achievements, was responsible for the design of the Paxman "Peache Patent" High-Speed Single-Acting Steam Engines manufactured by Davey, Paxman & Co of Colchester. During a long life he amassed a considerable fortune some of which he used in the support of ecclesiastical and educational institutions. One example was his support for the living at Mangotsfield. In 1842, perhaps with help from his father, the 23-year-old Alfred Peache was installed as curate of Mangotsfield under the Rev Robert Brodie who had been parish priest there since 1822. Then, in 1854 Alfred became curate of Heckfield in Hampshire. Although it has a huge church, Heckfield was – and still is – a tiny village and, as such, would warrant no more than a curate. Thus Alfred was the parish priest and could regard the move as a promotion. He was still in post at Heckfield when his father died in 1858 and Robert Brodie retired in 1859. By consequence of these two events Alfred inherited a considerable fortune and the living at Mangotsfield. He became one of the wealthie
