St Martin's Church Wareham Dorset.
St Martin's Church, Wareham, sometimes St Martin's-on-the-walls, is an Anglo-Saxon church in the town of Wareham, Dorset in England. It is the most complete example of an Anglo-Saxon church in Dorset.
The church is reputed to have been founded by Saint Aldhelm in the 7th century. It is thought that this earlier building was destroyed by Cnut the Great in 1015. The present building dates from about AD 1030. Anglo-Saxon features include a tall, narrow nave and chancel, late Anglo-Saxon wall-arcading in the north west aisle and traces of a Saxon door. The building has been altered and expanded over the years but the nave and a tiny window in the north side of the chancel are original features. On the north wall of the chancel are 12th-century frescoes depicting Saint Martin on horseback, escorted by attendants, dividing his cloak and giving one half to a naked beggar.
On one of the walls a number of red stars have been painted, possibly representing plague deaths in the 17th century.
During the Great Fire of Wareham in 1762 the church was used as a temporary refuge for those who had lost their homes. Later the church fell into disuse but at the beginning of the 20th century a programme of restoration began and the church was rededicated on 23 November 1936.
In the north aisle sits a stone effigy of T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), created by his friend Eric Kennington.
The church is still in use, with a regular weekly communion on Wednesdays.

Wareham is an historic market town and, under the name Wareham Town, a civil parish, in the English county of Dorset. The town of Wareham is situated on the River Frome eight miles southwest of Poole.
Wareham is situated on the A351 Lytchett Minster-Swanage road and at the eastern terminus of the A352 road to Dorchester and Sherborne, both roads now bypassing the town centre. The town has a station on the South Western Main Line railway, and was formerly the junction station for services along the branch line to Swanage, now preserved as the Swanage Railway.
To the north west of the town a large conifer plantation, Wareham Forest stretches several miles to the A35 road and the southern foothills of the Dorset Downs. To the south east is Corfe Castle and the heathland that borders Poole Harbour, including Wytch Farm oil field and Studland & Godlingstone Heath Nature Reserve. About four miles (7 km) to the south is a chalk ridge, the Purbeck Hills, and eight miles (12 km) to the south is the English Channel.
The civil parish of Wareham Town encompasses the walled town of Wareham, situated on the land between the rivers Frome and Piddle, together with the area of Northport to the north of the River Piddle, and a relatively small amount of the surrounding rural area.
Wareham contains several places of worship with the oldest being the Saxon churches of Lady St. Mary (substantially modified but the origins are pre-conquest. The Saxon nave was demolished in 1841-2) and St. Martins-on-the-Walls (built c.1030, dedicated to Martin of Tours). Both are Anglican. The 14th century building of Holy Trinity Church stands on the site of the Saxon chapel St Andrew's and was until 2012 a tourist information centre. Other churches are the Wareham United Reformed Church in Church Street, St. Edward the Martyr Roman Catholic church on Shatters Hill, Wareham Methodist Church in North St. and the Evangelical Church in Ropers Lane.

Rambles down Memory Lane in Wareham, Dorset - Part 1
A personal walk down memory lane in Wareham, Dorset, having lived in and around the town from the early 70s to mid 80s and done almost all my schooling in the town from 1975 to 1990.
In the first section I go from Wareham Station to North Bridge, pointing out Wareham North Wall's, Wareham Common and The River Piddle, St Martin's Church, Nundigo, St Martin's Lane and North Street.
Apologies for any mic interference; I had a windshield on it on the bridge at Wareham Station and it just vanished midshoot and I couldn't find it - so, I was trying to guard the mic from direct wind as much as possible.

London - Tour to Waltham Abbey Church
The Abbey Church of Waltham Holy Cross and St Lawrence is the parish church of the town of Waltham Abbey, Essex, England. It has been a place of worship since the 7th century. The present building dates mainly from the early 12th century and is an example of Norman architecture. To the east of the existing church are traces of an enormous eastward enlargement of the building, begun following the re-foundation of the abbey in 1177. In the Late Middle Ages, Waltham was one of the largest church buildings in England and a major site of pilgrimage; in 1540 was the last religious community to be closed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It is still an active parish church for the town.
The monastic buildings and those parts of the church east of the crossing were demolished at the dissolution, and the Norman crossing tower and transepts collapsed in 1553. The present-day church consists of the nave of the Norman abbey church, the 14th-century lady chapel and west wall, and a 16th-century west tower, added after the dissolution.[1]
Harold Godwinson is said to be buried in the present churchyard.

Haunting History of : Joshua Coffin House, Centre St ,Nantucket,Massachusetts
Nantucket, a tiny, isolated island off Cape Cod,Nantucket's nickname, The Little Grey Lady of the Sea, refers to the island as it appears from the ocean when it is fog-bound.
One of the best examples of the mid-eighteenth century ship-masters' houses.Its most unusual feature is a secret chamber hidden behind the front stair-hall and between fireplaces on the first and second floors
Date of erection: 1756 or probably earlier. The main part of the house was built at Sherburne andmmoved to its present location in 1756, when the adjoining ell and woodshed were added, A beam in the front entry helps to date this house in the
1750's.
Joshua and Beulah (Gardner) Coffin, The land on which the house was built was given to the young couple by Beulah Coffin's father, the deed reading in part as follows: Grantor,
Peter Gardner, of Sherborn, County of Nantucket, Massachusetts, in consideration of the love and affection I have and bear unto Beulah,my daughter, now the wife of Joshua Coffin of Sherborn aforesaid, mariner, and for divers other weighty, lawfull and reasonable causes and considerations.
1785 — Joshua Coffin, son of the above owner. This deed mentions a consideration of 96 pounds.
The obligatory old man ghost sitting in a rocking chair resides at the Joshua Coffin House. Built in 1754, the house includes a secret room, accessible only via trap door, and and there's been some poltergeist activity.
Previous to the Revolution a section was taken out of the front of the chimney to allow for a capacious storeroom which Captain Coffin designed as a concealed safe deposit for his
valuables in the event of an anticipated British raid on the Island, The steep narrow stairway rises, as usual, apparently against the chimney stack and the presence of the storeroom would
not be suspected if it were not for a window which has now been let into the front wall on the second floor which discloses the inner stairway running from the cellar to the attic,
terminating at a trap concealed in the attic floor. The secret room or storeroom has generally been referred to as the secret chamber or the cellar in the attic. Read more ...

Grandsire Caters at Banbury
Banbury, well known for Banbury Cross (which is just outside this church!!) has a fantastic 17cwt Taylor ten from 1930. Go well, sound fantastic, improved greatly by the installation of guides a few years back (apparently they used to be very flighty, and the ringing room looked quite dull; both are now things of the past, with a light, airy ringing chamber and no flightiness at all!!) and the church has an unusual tower to boot!! The red brick church and tower is Georgian, I think about 1780-1785, and is slightly unusual in design. The tower is round, and the church is square, originally built with the altar in the middle and four galleries round the walls, one per wall, so everyone could see and hear!! The East Gallery no longer exists, but the others do. The interior of the church is decorated in Georgian style and is very nice!! These bells are so good one of the ringers from Christ Church Swindon wanted to swap them for their bells!! The bells certainly match the church (pleasant,) though they sound better in than out, and the ringing circle is a near perfect circle to match the circular tower!! The circular window at 2:16 is one of the 4 circular windows in the ringing room towards the ceiling of the RR. Enough of circles though; the church is practically a square with an extension...

SUMMARY
=======
Alfred the Great (Old English: Ælfrēd, Ælfrǣd, elf counsel or wise elf; 849 – 26 October 899) was King of Wessex from 871 to c. 886 and King of the Anglo-Saxons from c. 886 to 899.
Alfred was the youngest son of King Æthelwulf of Wessex. His father died when he was young and three of Alfred's brothers reigned in turn. Taking the throne after the death of his brother Æthelred, Alfred spent several years dealing with Viking invasions. After a decisive victory in the Battle of Edington in 878 Alfred made an agreement with the Vikings, creating what was known as Danelaw in the North of England. Alfred also oversaw the conversion of the Viking leader, Guthrum.
Alfred successfully defended his kingdom against the Viking attempt at conquest, and by the time of his death had become the dominant ruler in England. He was also the first King of the West Saxons to style himself King of the Anglo-Saxons. Details of Alfred's life are described in a work by the 9th-century Welsh scholar and bishop Asser.
Alfred had a reputation as a learned and merciful man of a gracious and level-headed nature who encouraged education, proposing that primary education be conducted in English rather than Latin, and improved his kingdom's legal system, military structure, and his people's quality of life. He was given the epithet the Great during and after the Reformation in the sixteenth century. The only other king of England given this epithet is Cnut the Great. In 2002, Alfred was ranked number 14 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.

SUMMARY
=======
Hurricane Katrina was an extremely destructive and deadly Category 5 hurricane that struck the Gulf Coast of the United States in August 2005, causing catastrophic damage from central Florida to eastern Texas. Subsequent flooding, caused largely as a result of fatal engineering flaws in the flood protection system around the city of New Orleans, precipitated most of the loss of lives. The storm was the third major hurricane of the record-breaking 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, as well as the fourth-most intense tropical cyclone on record to make landfall in the United States, behind only the 1935 Labor Day hurricane, Hurricane Camille in 1969, and Hurricane Michael in 2018.
The storm originated over the Bahamas on August 23, 2005, from the merger of a tropical wave and the remnants of Tropical Depression Ten. Early on the following day, the new tropical depression intensified into a tropical storm and headed generally westward toward Florida, strengthening into a hurricane only two hours before making landfall at Hallandale Beach and Aventura on August 25. After very briefly weakening again to a tropical storm, Katrina emerged into the Gulf of Mexico on August 26 and began to rapidly intensify. The storm strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane over the warm waters of the Gulf, but weakened before making its second landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on August 29, over southeast Louisiana and Mississippi. As Katrina made landfall, its front right quadrant, which held the strongest winds, slammed into Gulfport, Mississippi, devastating it.Overall, at least 1,836 people died in the hurricane and subsequent floods, making Katrina the deadliest United States hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. Severe property damage occurred in numerous coastal areas, such as Mississippi beachfront towns where boats and casino barges rammed buildings, pushing cars and houses inland; water reached 6–12 miles (10–19 km) from the beach. Total property damage was estimated at $125 billion (2005 USD), roughly four times the damage wrought by Hurricane Andrew in 1992, tying Katrina with Hurricane Harvey of 2017 as the costliest Atlantic tropical cyclone on record.Over fifty breaches in surge protection levees surrounding the city of New Orleans, Louisiana were the cause of the majority of the death and destruction during Katrina. Eventually 80% of the city, as well as large tracts of neighboring parishes, became flooded, and the floodwaters lingered for weeks. Most of the transportation and communication networks servicing New Orleans were damaged or disabled by the flooding, and tens of thousands of people who had not evacuated the city prior to landfall became stranded with little access to food, shelter or basic necessities. The scale of the disaster in New Orleans provoked massive national and international response efforts; federal, local and private rescue operations evacuated displaced persons out of the city over the following weeks.
