The Building

建筑

The bulk of the church as it stands today was constructed during the period of the association with the Syon Abbey. This includes the south and east walls; the main nave of the four arches on each side; the four bay chancel arcades and the side chapels of St. Nicholas and St. Thomas. These are all impressive examples of fifteenth century church architecture. The tower was built in 1759, an instantly recognizable landmark for many miles; the Regimental Chapel and the porch, were added in 1903; the Refectory (where light refreshments can usually obtained between Easter and October) was added in 1981. In 1993/4, to commemorate the ninth century of the founding of the original Benedicine priory, there was a major re-ordering of the east end of the church, together with general re-lighting and refurbishment.

现今大家所看到的教堂大部分都是在作为西恩大教堂的附属修道院时期建造的。这包括教堂的南墙和东墙；四面拱门的中央部分；四个隔间的圣坛拱廊及其两旁的圣尼古拉斯礼拜堂和圣托马斯礼拜堂。这些都是十五世纪教堂建筑中令人印象深刻的代表作。1759年，这里添加了一个塔楼，它成为小教堂一个明显的标志性建筑，从好几英里以外就可以看到；1903年添加了国王直属团礼拜堂和教堂入口的门廊；1981年添加了食堂，那里通常在从复活节到十月之间的日子里供应点心和饮料。1933到1934年，为了纪念最初的本笃会小教堂建立900周年，教堂的东面进行了一次大规模修复，同时更新了教堂全体照明设施，教堂内外整修一新。

Mention has been made of the Regimental Chapel. This was erected at the beginning of the 20th century as a memorial to the members of the King’s Own (Royal Lancaster) Regiment who had been killed in the South African War. The chapel also contains details of the heavy casualties sustained during the two world wars. The Regimental depot was at Bowerham Barracks (now the main site, in Lancaster, of St. Martin’s College) until 1959 when the Regiment was amalgamated with the equally distinguished Border Regiment based in Carlisle. The combined unit, known as the King’s Own Royal Border Regiment maintains a close link with the Priory and still recruits in this area. There is a very good collection of military colours dating from the eighteen century suspended from the roof of the chapel. A detailed guide to the Regimental Chapel is available from the bookstall.

前面提到了国王直属团礼拜堂。它是在二十世纪初为了纪念在南非战争中牺牲的国王直属（兰卡斯特王室）团成员而设立的。这个礼拜堂还保留了两次世界大战中的伤亡详细名录。国王直属团过去驻扎在博沃汉姆军营（故址在兰卡斯特的圣马丁学院的主校区），直到1959年直属团与位于卡莱尔的、同样名声显赫的边境团合并为止。合并后的部队称为国王直属皇家边境团。这个部队仍然和兰卡斯特小教堂保持着密切的联系，并且仍然从这里招募新兵。这里非常完好地收藏了从十八世纪以来的军旗，它们都悬挂在礼拜堂的房顶上。您可以在教堂的书店里找到关于国王直属团礼拜堂的更详细的资料。
