Queen Victoria - All Saints' church - Pickworth, Rutland - Coats of Arms on Waymarking.com

Royal coat of arms of Queen Victoria, dated 1839, at the west end of All Saints' church, Pickworth..

"As Sovereign, Victoria used the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom. Before her accession, she received no grant of arms. As she could not succeed to the throne of Hanover, her arms did not carry the Hanoverian symbols that were used by her immediate predecessors. Her arms have been borne by all of her successors on the throne.

Outside Scotland, the blazon for the shield—also used on the Royal Standard—is: Quarterly: I and IV, Gules, three lions passant guardant in pale Or (for England); II, Or, a lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory Gules (for Scotland); III, Azure, a harp Or stringed Argent (for Ireland). In Scotland, the first and fourth quarters are occupied by the Scottish lion, and the second by the English lions. The crests, mottoes, and supporters also differ in and outside Scotland."

"Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death. From 1 May 1876, she adopted the additional title of Empress of India.

Victoria was the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George III. Both the Duke of Kent and King George III died in 1820, and Victoria was raised under close supervision by her German-born mother Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. She inherited the throne aged 18, after her father's three elder brothers had all died, leaving no surviving legitimate children. The United Kingdom was already an established constitutional monarchy, in which the sovereign held relatively little direct political power. Privately, Victoria attempted to influence government policy and ministerial appointments; publicly, she became a national icon who was identified with strict standards of personal morality.

Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in 1840. Their nine children married into royal and noble families across the continent, tying them together and earning her the sobriquet "the grandmother of Europe". After Albert's death in 1861, Victoria plunged into deep mourning and avoided public appearances. As a result of her seclusion, republicanism temporarily gained strength, but in the latter half of her reign her popularity recovered. Her Golden and Diamond Jubilees were times of public celebration.

Her reign of 63 years and seven months is known as the Victorian era. It was a period of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. She was the last British monarch of the House of Hanover. Her son and successor, Edward VII, belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the line of his father."

"An Italianate church built in the early 19th century, to replace the former medieval church destroyed during the Battle of Losecote Field in 1470. It is a grade II listed building.

The church was built by the Rector of Casterton, the Rev. Richard Lucas, in the early 19th century, around the same time as the construction of the Methodist chapel and perhaps in direct competition with the nonconformists. The village was substantially rebuilt around this time by the landowner, the Earl of Exeter, who donated the land for this church. The building was funded out of a legacy of Joseph Armitage, of Wakefield.

The interior is plain with the original box pews. These have been reversed at some point in the 19th century; the pulpit and altar were originally under the West window, where the font now stands. The congregation now faces east.

A guidebook in the church says it was built in 1824, but the Peterborough Diocese website for the church says 1816. The Wikipedia page says 1821, and the English Heritage listing, quoting the Victoria County History, says 1822. This latter date is also given on a memorial in the church to Joseph Armitage as the date of the bequest, so the construction probably occurred a little later. The modern registers date from 1812, when some unknown building was being used as a chapel-of-ease by the Casterton church."
