Marylebone

Marylebone

Marylebone gets its name from a church called "St Mary's" (now known as St Marylebone Parish Church), which was built on the bank of a small stream or "bourne", called the Tybourne or Tyburn, that rose further north in Swiss Cottage, eventually running along what is now Marylebone Lane before it was built over. The current building was built to the designs of Christopher Wren, 1671-1673, with the 223-foot tower built 1680. It was considered the second most important church in the City of London after St Paul's Cathedral.

Marylebone is in an area of London that can be roughly defined as the area bounded by Oxford Street to the south, Marylebone Road to the north, Edgware Road to the west and Portland Place to the east.

This building was dedicated to St Mary by the Bourne, though it was later renamed St Marylebone. Francis Bacon was married in this church on 11th May 1606.
In 1740 a new church was built on the same site. This was the church the Reverend Charles Wesley must have known during this time in London and it is in the graveyard that Charles Wesley's tomb is to be found. Charles Wesley died in 1788 and it was in this year that Lord Byron was Christened at the church. Lord Nelson attended services in this church, his daughter being Christened on 3rd May 1893.

In 1817 a fourth new building was consecrated. This was built in neo-classical style and designed by Thomas Hardwick. The new church building bordered New Road (now called Marylebone Road). Two famous people were born in the parish in 1812 and both attended the church, Robert Browning and Charles Dickens.

A second Globe theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1643. A modern reconstruction of the Globe, named “Shakespeare's Globe”, Opened in 1997.

Like all the otfer theatres in London, the Globe was closed down by the Puritans in 1642.

The Globe's actual dimensions are unknown. The evidence suggests that it was a three-storey, open-air amphitheatre approximately 100 feet (30m) in diameter that could house up to 3,000 spectators. However, in 1988-89, the uncovering of small part of the Globe's foundation suggested that it was a polygon of 20 sides.

The stage measured approximatley 43 feet (13.1 m) in widith, 27 feet (8.2 m) in depth and was raised about 5 feet (1.5m) off the ground. On this stage, there was a trap door for use by performers to enter from the “cellarge” area beneath the stage.

Large columns on either sde of the stages supported a roof. The balcony housed the musicians and could also be used for scenes requiring an upper space, such as the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet.
