Ytterlännäs

Ytterlännäs is a parish in the Diocese of Härnösand in Västernorrland County, Sweden.

History

Ytterlännäs parish, in the province of Ångermanland, belonged to the Archdiocese of Uppsala in the Middle Ages, but has been part of the Diocese of Härnösand since that was formed in 1647. The two churches of he parish, the old one from the early 13th century, and the new one from 1848-1854, are located between the communities of Nyland and Bollstabruk, within Kramfors Municipality.

The Ytterlännäs New Church taken into use in 1854 is an example of the style known as a "tegnérlada" ("Tegnér barn") - spacious, white, clean, neo-classical. The Ytterlännäs Old Church (Ytterlännäs Gamla Kyrka) dates from the 1200s and features medieval vaults, wall-paintings and wooden sculptures, and baroque furnishings including the unusual feature of two galleries; the Ytterlännäs Madonna is regarded by experts as a particularly fine example of the work from the Hälsingland workshop of [http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaken_Gulleson Haaken Gulleson] , all in an excellent state of preservation thanks to the church's being abandoned after 1854.

Då kom nämnligen församlingens förste folkskollärare, Anton Julius Winblad, född 1828, i Stockholm. Tre år senare finns att läsa i sockenprotokoll hans anhållan om "att få aflysa skolgången för terminen, för att kunna inställa sig i Härnösand och där taga undervisning i orgelspelning och undergå organistexamen". Som musiklärare för organisteleverna tjänstgjorde då konsistorienotarien Anders Sidner, för övrigt son till den tidigare nämnde kyrkoherden i Grundsunda med samma namn. Kyrkokören medverkade under Winblads tid även vid fester utanför kyrkan. |publisher=Ytterlännäs kyrke ]

Även han innehade den kombinerade tjänsten som folkskollärare, klockare och organist. I hela 36 år uppehöll Wahlberg denna tjänst. Förutom detta krävande arbete, som också innefattade att han var kyrkokörens ledare, hann han med att bilda en manskör. Hur länge den verkade har inte gått att få fram uppgift om, men troligen hade den varit avsomnad en tid, nar fabrikör K.G. Wretling år 1907 startade en kör med namnet Bollsta-Väja manskör. Under Wahlbergs tid, som ledare av kören, finns noteringar om att det även förekom individuell röstvård. |publisher=Ytterlännäs kyrke ]
