A short film of St Mary's Church Sompting which is a grade one listed building its history dates back to A.D 960 and beyond, it has ties to the knights templars and hospitalars, but Its most important feature is the tower which is of a Rehnish Helm design and unique in the UK.
This Church has never been filmed from above as far as I am aware, so was absolutely privileged to be given full permission to film it from the air.

The parish church of St Mary in Petworth has a long history, stretching back probably to Saxon times, but little is known of its earliest days. Today it is still home to a worshipping community. St. Mary’s Church dates from thirteenth century, although restorations in 1827 and 1903 have hidden much of the original structure. The acoustics are exceptionally good for musical performances, and as such the church plays host to a number of Petworth Festival events.
Lombard Street
Once the main shopping street for Petworth with haberdashers, bakers, grocers and butchers, the cobbled Lombard Street now enjoys a more sedate existence, offering restaurants and antique shops. See more:
This current building dates from the 14th century, although it has undergone extensive restoration over the years. In 1827, Sir Charles Barry - the architect renown for his work on the Houses of Parliament - rebuilt the church, adding an octagonal structure to replace the earlier leaded spire (this was later removed). Inside, the ancient font has been in use for six hundred years. See more:
Thomas de Falconberg was, in 1238, the first recorded parish rector. Although it is thought that a church was on this site previously, the present church dates in parts from the 13th & 14thc. Past restorations, in particular those of 1827 & 1902-03 have made most of the earlier structure not visible. The spire became unsafe and was altered in 1947. See more:
The town is mentioned in Domesday Book. It is best known as the location of the stately home Petworth House, the grounds of which (known as Petworth Park) are the work of Capability Brown. The house and its grounds are now owned and maintained by the National Trust. Petworth fell victim to bombing in World War II on 29 September 1942, when a lone German Heinkel 111, approaching from the south over Hoes Farm, aimed three bombs at Petworth House. The bombs missed the house, but one bounced off a tree and landed on the Petworth Boys' School in North Street, killing 28 boys, the headmaster, Charles Stevenson, and assistant teacher Charlotte Marshall. On 20 November (St. Edmund's day) each year, the market square is closed off to traffic so that a fun fair can be held. This is the modern survival of an ancient custom. In earlier centuries the fair lasted several days and may have been wholly or partly held on a field on the south side of the town called fairfield. The London Gazette of November 1666 announced that a fair would not be held that year because of plague still infesting the county, and shows that the fair was then a nine-day event. See more:

Batley Parish Church Saturday 12th Of Jan 2013 by Roy West
Greater Manchester Police never took into consideration, that I could not have been in two places at the same time. surprisingly all these so called incidents of harassment were taking place when I was somewhere else, but this did not matter to GMP because they were acting politically to have me constantly arrested and taken away from my family.
St James the Less Church Lancing Sussex
St James the Less Church is the Anglican parish church of North Lancing, an ancient village which has been absorbed into the modern town of Lancing in the district of Adur, one of seven local government districts in the English county of West Sussex. It was founded in the 12th century in the most northerly of the three settlements in Lancing parish, which has Saxon origins. The present building is mostly 13th-century in appearance, and structural work has been carried out several times since—particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries, when the church was restored from a ruinous condition. English Heritage has listed the church at Grade I for its architectural and historical importance.
