Ep08: The Derelict Bells of St Martin, Hindringham
In this episode I take a rare glimpse of the now sadly derelict bells hidden up in the tower of St. Martin's Church, Hindringham.
What historic wonders will we see on the way up and will the bells of St. Martin ever ring out again?
A Walk to the Slipper Chapel and Shrine
We walked the mile from Little Walsingham to the Slipper Chapel which is a Roman Catholic Shrine. In ancient times pilgrims stopped there to remove their shoes and walk barefoot to meet Our Lady of Walsingham in the Holy House at the Priory.

North Creake bells after restoration
16th Dec 2015. This is the very first ring on all 8 bells at North Creake - Plain course of Grandsire Triples.
MILLIONS OF MIGRANTS
The village of North Creake in Norfolk only had about five hundred inhabitants; until the starlings came. Now, it's got something like three million. The migrants, they say, have mostly come from behind the Iron Curtain. They're quite a sight to see: as they fly in from their foraging to roost in the woods.

St Olaves Priory
St Olaves Priory in Norfolk was supposed to be about the history but things took a turn when we met the 799 year old lady next door who had me running for my life.

SUMMARY
=======
The Dissolution of the Monasteries, sometimes referred to as the Suppression of the Monasteries, was the set of administrative and legal processes between 1536 and 1541 by which Henry VIII disbanded monasteries, priories, convents and friaries in England and Wales and Ireland, appropriated their income, disposed of their assets, and provided for their former personnel and functions. Although the policy was originally envisaged as increasing the regular income of the Crown, much former monastic property was sold off to fund Henry's military campaigns in the 1540s. He was given the authority to do this in England and Wales by the Act of Supremacy, passed by Parliament in 1534, which made him Supreme Head of the Church in England, thus separating England from Papal authority, and by the First Suppression Act (1536) and the Second Suppression Act (1539).
Professor George W. Bernard argues:
The dissolution of the monasteries in the late 1530s was one of the most revolutionary events in English history. There were nearly 900 religious houses in England, around 260 for monks, 300 for regular canons, 142 nunneries and 183 friaries; some 12,000 people in total, 4,000 monks, 3,000 canons, 3,000 friars and 2,000 nuns. If the adult male population was 500,000, that meant that one adult man in fifty was in religious orders.
