Kirkby Lonsdale is a small town and civil parish in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England, on the River Lune. Historically in Westmorland, it is situated 13 miles south east of Kendal along the A65. Notable buildings include St Mary's Church, a Norman structure with fine carved columns. The view of the River Lune from the churchyard is known as Ruskin's View; it was praised by John Ruskin as One of the loveliest views in England and painted by J.M.W. Turner.
Kirkby Lonsdale developed at a crossing point over the River Lune where several drovers' and packhorse routes converged. It is one of the few Cumbrian towns mentioned in the Domesday Book, where it is described as Cherchibi (village with a church). The earlier church was wholly rebuilt by the Normans, who also erected an artificial mound or motte on nearby glebe land.
A wooden tower or 'keep' would have been built on the top, and the stronghold used as a base to administer power and control over the surrounding area. In later years, the mound was used for cockfighting, hence the current name of Cockpit Hill. In 1093, Ivo de Taillebois (Baron of Kendal) gifted the church at Kirkby Lonsdale to St Mary's Abbey in York, which held it until the Dissolution. Thereupon the Abbey and all its possessions, including St Mary's Church at Kirkby Lonsdale, were granted to Trinity College, Cambridge, which retains patronage to this day.
In 1227, the town gained a market charter and the right to hold an annual fair every September. Every week, stallholders would gather on Market Street to sell their wares, with horse traders in the Horsemarket and pig sellers in Swinemarket. Thursdays were, as now, the scene of great activity as people flocked into the town to buy all manner of goods and merchandise.
The steep incline of Mill Brow with its fast flowing (now culverted) stream was the industrial heart of Kirkby Lonsdale, with several mills using water power for grinding corn, bark and bone, carding wool, manufacturing snuff, making bobbins, fulling cloth and sawing timber.
The Keighley and Kendal Turnpike of 1753 passed through Kirkby Lonsdale and there met a turnpike from Milnthorpe on the coast. In 1818 the two trusts were amalgamated. Kirkby Lonsdale railway station, 2 miles (3 km) away in Lancashire, opened in 1861 and closed to passengers in 1954.
Today, Kirkby Lonsdale bustles with activity, with a weekly market, many local events and traditional shops. The centre is a mix of elegant 18th century buildings and stone cottages huddled around cobbled courtyards and narrow alleyways, with names such as Salt Pie Lane and Jingling Lane.

UNDERLEY HALL - KIRKBY LONSDALE
UNDERLEY HALL - The Manor of Kirkby Lonsdale was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. It was when Alexander Nowell bought the Underley Estate in 1807 that Underley Hall first took on its present form. In 1819, work began on the present Underley Hall. Underley Hall took six years to build. It was build during the late Georgian period. A date-stone indicating when the Hall was built is positioned over the front door and there is also one inside the porch of the West Door. Underley Hall has been described as both a fine mansion in the Tudor Style, and in Bulmer's 1885 Directory it is stated that it is built in magnificent Gothic Style. The Hall, which was built by 1825, cost Alexander Nowell approximately £30,000, but in the years that followed he continued to enlarge his estate. An extensive park was developed for the large, new Hall, which reached to the top of Abbot's Brow in Kirkby Lonsdale, where the corner of the graveyard and the rugby field are situated. By 1866, the Hall was considerably embellished by the wealth amassed by Alderman Thompson. In 1864, Thompson's grandson the Earl of Bective took over the Underley Estate and lived at Underley Hall. He remained at Underley until his death in 1893, when his daughter, who had become Lady Henry Cavendish Bentinck came into the property. The Cavendish-Bentincks added more farms and lands to the Underley property, and perhaps paid closer attention to the immediate grounds and gardens, but internally the house remained structurally untouched. In 1931 Lord Henry died of pneumonia. He was buried on the 6th October 1931, in Kirkby Lonsdale churchyard. In September 1937, Queen Mary, wife of King George the 5th and grandmother to our present Queen visited Underley Hall. Lady Henry continued to live at Underley until her death late in 1939. She also was buried in the Kirkby Lonsdale Parish Churchyard on the 29th November. Late in September, 1940, a boys' prep. school named Hordle House moved into Underley Hall. The school was privately owned by a Mr. Whateley Smith, who was a Church of England clergyman. In September 1945 until 1959, Underley Hall became Oakfield a school for girls, when in 1959, it relocated by moving to Wokinham near Reading. From 1960 until 1975 it was a Catholic boys' school named St Michael's College. This information has been obtained from: Underley Hall a History of House and Occupants which was written by John D Battle in 1969.
A glimpse inside St Mary Redcliffe Church (over 800 years old) - Bristol, UK
This parish church has stood for over 800 years. The skills, talents and attention to detail of craftsmen and craftswomen, and the faithfulness and care of a multitude of generations of Christians - is what makes this Church so magnificent.
History of Bristol:
Bristol is a city with a population of nearly half a million people in south west England, situated between Somerset and Gloucestershire on the tidal River Avon. It has been among the country's largest and most economically and culturally important cities for eight centuries. The Bristol area has been settled since the Stone Age and there is evidence of Roman occupation. A mint was established in the Saxon burgh of Brycgstow by the 10th century and the town rose to prominence in the Norman era, gaining a charter and county status in 1373. The change in the form of the name 'Bristol' is due to the local pronunciation of 'ow' as 'ol'.
Maritime connections to Wales, Ireland, Iceland, western France, Spain and Portugal brought a steady increase in trade in wool, fish, wine and grain during the Middle Ages. Bristol became a city in 1542 and trade across the Atlantic developed. The city was captured by Royalist troops and then recaptured for Parliament during the English Civil War. During the 17th and 18th centuries the transatlantic slave trade and the Industrial Revolution brought further prosperity. Edmund Burke, MP for Bristol, supported the American Revolution and free trade. Prominent reformers such as Mary Carpenter and Hannah More campaigned against the slave trade.
The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw the construction of a floating harbour, advances in shipbuilding and further industrialisation with the growth of the glass, paper, soap and chemical industries aided by the establishment of Bristol as the terminus of the Great Western Railway by I. K. Brunel. In the early 20th century, Bristol was in the forefront of aircraft manufacture and the city had become an important financial centre and high technology hub by the beginning of the 21st century.
United States:
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America (/əˈmɛrɪkə/), is a federal republic[16][17] composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.[fn 6] Forty-eight states and the federal district are contiguous and located in North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.[19]
At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km2)[20] and with over 324 million people, the United States is the world's third- or fourth-largest country by total area,[fn 7] and the third-most populous. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the largest city is New York City; twelve other major metropolitan areas—each with at least 4.5 million inhabitants—are Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Riverside.

Kirkby Lonsdale St Mary Church Clock Chimes 2 o'clock
Over in Kirkby Lonsdale today, a small town in Cumbria next to the Lancashire border, I managed to record the clock chimes of St Mary's Church striking 2 o'clock. The bells at this church are a 12cwtThomas II Mears ring of 6 tuned to F#, and the clock chimes the Westminster Quarters. For some reason, on the last quarter, one of the notes were missing, I don't know if that is normal or not. Beyond the churchyard however is Ruskin's View, a panorama across the River Lune and the nearby Hills and Fells.

All Heaven Declares, organ, Kirkby Lonsdale Methodist Church, Cumbria
I thought I'd do this lovely worship song, All Heaven Declares the Glory of the Risen Lord, by Noel and Tricia Richards again, as I did at St John's Church in Leeds, but this time on the small but mighty Wilkinson Organ of Kirkby Lonsdale Methodist Church in Cumbria (But my fingers were a bit cumbersome today....stupid fingers) so I hope I did well enough in the editing. This Methodist church is in the Kendal Methodist Circuit, and the organ was built by Wilkinson and Son of Kendal at an unknown date, they built organs across North West Lancashire, Westmorland, Cumberland (now both part of Cumbria) and some in Yorkshire as well. This organ has 11 speaking stops. Thanks to the man who let me on this wonderful organ.
