March, St Wendreda's Church
St Wendreda, to whom the church is dedicated, is the town's own saint and March is the only known church dedication to this saint. She was a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon who is supposed to have been a daughter of King Anna of East Anglia (killed 654) one of the first Christian Kings of the kingdom of East Anglia. Two of her sisters, Etheldreda and Sexburgha, who were the abbesses of Ely and Minster-in-Sheppey respectively, are better known saints. She is also associated with Exning, Suffolk.
The saint's relics were enshrined in gold in Ely Cathedral, until in 1016 they were carried off to battle in the hope they would bring victory to Edmund Ironside, the son of King Ethelred. But at the Battle of Ashingdon the army of King Canute captured the relics and he presented them to Canterbury Cathedral. In 1343 the relics were returned to March, but their final resting place is unknown.
The church is known for its magnificent double-hammer beam roof with 120 carved angels; it is regarded as one of the best of its kind.
John Betjeman described the church as worth cycling 40 miles in a head wind to see.

St James' Church, Shardlow, Derbyshire
Bells & Thunder May 18, 2014
The still image is of the church of St Mary the Virgin, Offwell, East Devon, England. Bell ringers from another local village (where the church has no bells!) were ringing when it started to rain heavily. Then the thunderstorm arrived. Clearly the noise of the bells made them oblivious to the danger from a lightning strike and they carried on until somebody told them to stop. It sounded like the soundtrack to the end of the world.

London Surprise Minor at Pentrich
A course of London Surprise Minor on the bells of Pentrich in Derbyshire during a meeting of the Chesterfield District of the Derby Diocesan Association (well, with a few visitors as well!)
London is a tricky method, though Minor is much easier than Major. Most of it is reverse hunting, so you end up leading or lying backstroke first instead of handstroke first. Basically it's alternate thirds and fourths with a fishtail when the treble's in 3/4. Now you can ring it!
Pentrich are quite nice bells, though a little odd-struck and a little loud. But I have just called a Young Ringers' quarter peal on them this evening so have had quite enough of them for the time being!
The Church of St. Mary - Easebourne - Church of England - Ensk kirkja
St Mary's Easebourne - Church of England - Midhurst, West Sussex, GU29 OAH - A beautiful church in lovely setting on the Cowdray Park Estate. Easebourne village, is a half a mile from the bridge over River Rother on the cross-roads located in the heart of the South Downs National Park, on the outskirts of Midhurst West Sussex England - surrounded by some of the finest British countryside. Easebourne pronounced Ezborn, is a village and civil parish in the Chichester District of West Sussex, England. The village contains several old houses but they have all been more or less reconditioned or in some cases rebuilt by the Cowdray Estates. Many of the buildings in the area around Easebourne and Midhurst have these distinctive yellow window frames, which signify that the buildings belong to the local Cowdray Estate.

St Mary’s Easebourne sits at the heart of the South Downs National Park. Set in stunning countryside and within the historic village of Easebourne, the church places itself at the heart of community life. See more:
The church of ST. MARY, formerly also the conventual church of the priory, stands at the gate of Cowdray Park on the east side of the village; the tower is of rubble, the modern exterior work of hammer-dressed ashlar, the dressings are of freestone, and the roofs tiled. To a nave and chancel of the 11th century there was added in the 12th a narrow north aisle and tower. In the 13th, on the establishment of the priory, the chancel was rebuilt, the east part of the nave was enclosed by walls to form the nuns' choir, and the north aisle was widened to its present dimensions for parish use. After the Suppression in the 16th century, the roofs of the nuns' choir and chancel were removed; that of the latter was replaced in 1830 to form a tombhouse, that of the former in 1876, when its former dividing walls were removed and the present chancel and organ chamber were added. he Montague tomb-house (modern except the south wall, which is part of the priory building) has in its east wall a doorway and a three-light window in late-13th-century style; on the west it opens into the former nuns' choir by an arch of two orders, the inner moulded, resting on semi-octagonal responds with moulded caps and bases in a rather nondescript Gothic style. The marble and alabaster monument of Anthony, Viscount Montague (died 1592) and his two wives occupies the east end of this building, whither it was removed from Midhurst (and its structure considerably altered) in 1851. It is in two stages; the eastern, the higher, has three semicircular arches supporting a slab on which, before a cubical block bearing his epitaph, kneels the effigy of the viscount, bareheaded, bearded, and wearing a ruff and the mantle and collar of the Order of the Garter over armour of the tasset period. On the lower stage, west of this, rest the effigies of his two wives, Jane Ratcliffe and Margaret Dacre, in mantles and kirtles; on the front of this stage, which is in the form of a chest tomb, are their epitaphs; at each end are small kneeling effigies of their descendants, some headless.On the outside of the south wall of the former nuns' choir and nave (the distinction between them has been obliterated) is a Mass dial; west of it are a modern three-light window in 14th-century style and the remains of the original south doorway, now blocked but showing part of a semicircular arch; immediately west of this is the present south doorway, of the 13th century, formerly the nuns' entrance to their choir, having a pointed arch on plain jambs; next are a lancet window in 13th-century style and a three-light window with Perpendicular tracery, both modern.
That the original church of Easebourne was a pre Conquest 'hundredal' church, like that of Singleton, is probable from its having attached to it in 1291, and as late as 1535, the chapels of Midhurst, Fernhurst, Lodsworth, and Todham. The earliest reference to it is in a deed of c. 1105, by which Savaric fitz Cane and Muriel his wife gave the church of 'Isenburne' to the Norman Abbey of Séez. If this grant was effective the church must have been recovered by one of Savaric's successors, as in the 13th century the founder of Easebourne Priory (probably Sir John de Bohun) gave the church to the nuns, by whom it was held in 1291. There are four bells; one by Roger Landen (c. 1450) inscribed Te Deum Laudamus; one of the 16th century—sancta anna ora pro nobis; and two by William Eldridge, 1677. See more:
Stedman Doubles at Brackenfield
Some Stedman Doubles from Brackenfield in north Derbyshire. The Peak District were chosen to host the Derby Diocesan Association's Summer Meeting, and chose here and Ashover as the towers, though I only managed to film this one. In the clip, the treble is rung by the last President of the Association, the second by the Webmaster, and the fifth by a visitor from Cambridgeshire who fancied popping up to Derbyshire for the day!
Lovely bells, which hold a bit of personal history for me. As well as ringing my first quarter inside here (the second to 1260 Plain and Little Bob Minor in 2007, rung to celebrate the end of mine and my brothers' GCSEs), the tenor here is the first tenor I ever rang. I remember it feeling odd, because I'd been used to ringing round the front end, but then was asked to drum behind to something, and now I'm very happy round the back end! Though these bells are not heavy at all with the tenor weighing just under 5cwt.
Stedman is lovely, and I think I've expressed that enough in all my videos so I won't go on about it :-P
