St John the Baptist's Church Ruins, Chester
St John the Baptist's Church, Chester is in the city of Chester, Cheshire, England. It lies outside the city walls on a cliff above the north bank of the River Dee. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Chester. Its benefice is combined with that of St Peter, Chester. it is considered to be the best example of 11th--12th century church architecture in Cheshire.
The church was reputedly founded by King Aethelred in 689. During the 11th century, Earl Leofric was a great benefactor of the church. In 1075 Peter, Bishop of Lichfield moved the seat of his see to Chester, making St John's his cathedral until he died in 1085. Peter's successor moved his seat to Coventry and St John's became a co-cathedral.The building of the church continued on a large scale until the end of the 13th century and continued as a collegiate church of secular canons.After the Dissolution, much of the east end of the church was demolished and some of it remains as ruins to the east of the present church. Since the Dissolution, it has been a parish church.
In 1468 the central tower collapsed. In 1572 the northwest tower partially collapsed and in 1574 there was a greater collapse of this tower which destroyed the western bays of the nave. This was rebuilt on a magnificent scale. There were restorations to the church in 1859--66 and 1886--87 by R. C. Hussey. While the northwest tower was being repaired in 1881 it collapsed again, this time destroying the north porch. The porch was rebuilt in 1881--82 by John Douglas. John Douglas also built the northeast belfry tower in 1886. In 1925 the chapel at the south east corner, then the Warburton chapel, was extended to form a Lady Chapel.
The church is built in sandstone. At the west end is the ruined first stage of the northwest tower. The plan of the body of the church consists of a four-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles and a north porch, a crossing with north and south transepts each of one bay, a five-bay chancel with aisles, and chapels at the north and south. The north chapel lies beneath the 1886 belfry tower and is now used as a vestry; the south chapel is the Lady Chapel. To the south of the Lady Chapel is a room known as the Chapter House.

Hymn - 'Make me a channel of your peace', sung by Jed Deadlock.
The church is unusual in that it is carpeted, and has extendable pews, and during the course of it's life it has not been structurally modified, as was the trend in the Victorian period, as a result the general fabric of the church inside and out is original. The stained glass windows were added after 1923 upon the death of Herbert Louis Wade J.P. Lord of the Manor.Theodora Salusbury (1875-1956) was a noted Leicestershire born stained glass artist. She studied at the Central School of Arts & Crafts in London circa 1910, and after set up her own studio in Kensington, London. She undertook the design and painting of her windows by herself but had Lowndes & Drury of The Glass House (Fulham) do the firing and glazing. Between the wars her studio was relocated to St Agnes, Cornwall. Her work is often identifiable by her use of a peacock as her maker's mark. Much of her work is in Leicestershire.

The Crypt Of St John The Baptist (Church) Berkswell
St John the Baptist, Berkswell, is a Norman parish church containing one of the finest crypts in the country. The church is a Grade 1 Listed Building and is featured in England’s Thousand Best Churches by Simon Jenkins.
Construction of the present church began in the 12th century (cll50) when two crypts, the chancel, nave, and a short North aisle were built. During the 14th century two archways leading to a South aisle were added and in the 15th century the North aisle was lengthened. There has been little structural change since the 18th century. The date of construction of the Tower is unknown but it is believed to have been in existence by 1600.
The half-timbered two-storey South porch was added c. 1500. There is an external stairway leading to the upper chamber used at various times as a priest’s room, a village school, a parish council house and today it serves as the vestry. At one time wedding ceremonies were conducted in church porches. The 12th century oak door containing handmade nails is still in use.
Crypt
The late Norman crypt dates back to c1150 and is composed of two chambers both of which are rib vaulted. The unique octagonal western crypt contains a Caen stone font given to the church by the Reverend Thomas Cattell who was the Rector from 1791 until 1826. The eastern rectangular crypt contains traces of a medieval wall decoration above the altar. The low stone seating around the walls was once used by the elderly and infirm. Where the saying '' Weakest To The Wall Came From'' The crypt, which can be accessed via a pew in the North aisle, is used today as a chapel, a baptistery and occasionally an art gallery.

History & Haunting of St Mary's parish church ,Hinckley
Hinckley is a market town in southwest Leicestershire, England.
St Mary's parish church in Hinckley was dedicated in the Middle Ages to the Assumption of Saint Mary the Virgin. This church building has stood on the site for almost nine hundred years, although there may well have been a church already on the site, as the remnants of an Anglo Saxon sun-dial is visible on the diagonal buttress on the south-east corner of the chancel. The church was built by William FitzOsbern, who came over with William the Conqueror.
According to local tradition, the gravestone of Richard Smith is said to 'sweat blood' on the anniversary of his murder.
St Mary's Church of Hinckley in Leicestershire is the last resting place of Richard Smith who was killed on 12th April 1727, aged 20 years old. Simeon Stayne was a recruiting Sergeant for the Army, he had come to Hinckley and stood outside the 'Pig and Whistle' along Regent Street, informing a crowd of potential new soldiers about the virtues of taking the King's shilling. When the Sergeant suggested that the George Inn (now the Bounty) was named after King George II, Richard started to heckle him and said that the George Inn was actually named the George and Dragon.
Richard would not stop with his comments, the Sergeant lost his temper and gave the crowd a demonstration in how to use a halberd in close quarter combat, it was at this point he struck Richard with the weapon and then left him lying on the floor in blood. Later on, Richard died of the wounds that the Sergeant had inflicted upon him; the Sergeant had now fled Hinckley.
Richard was buried near the Church wall of St Mary's Church during April 1727. Simeon Stayne was later arrested and sent to Leicester Assizes, which is where he received the sentence of death for murdering Richard Smith.
Upon Richard's gravestone is the following inscription:
A fatal Halbert his mortal Body slew
The murdering Hand God's vengeance will pursue
From shades Terrestrial, though Justice took her flight
Shall not the judge of all the Earth do right
Each Age and Sex his Innocence bemoans
And with sad sighs laments his dying Groans
The church itself is said to be home to phantom footsteps, believed to belong to a monk.
A Halberd (also called Halbard or Halbert) is a two-handed wooden pole with a combined spear point, axe and hook at one end. The Halberd had become a symbol of rank, it was carried by recruiting Sergeants of the British Army during the 18th Century. It was known that the Sergeants used the halberd to ensure that infantrymen drawn up in ranks stood correctly aligned with each other.

The weather vane, 184 feet up on St Mary's church tower at Hinkley is a fine cockerel which dates back some 200 years. In 1993 a headline appeared in the local paper entitled “Sorry Cock”. At the time the church steeple was being renovated and somebody took advantage of scaffolding to steal the said weather vane. The vicar appealed for its return in the press and early one morning he found the weather vane on his doorstep and it had been newly painted. There was also a note of apology telling that it was all the result of a drunken prank.
Hinckley has a history going back to Anglo-Saxon times; the name Hinckley is Anglo Saxon: Hinck is someone's name and ley is a meadow. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, Hinckley was quite a large village, and grew over the following 200 years into a small market town—a market was first recorded there in 1311. There is evidence of an Anglo Saxon church – the remnants of an Anglo Saxon sun-dial being visible on the diagonal buttress on the south-east corner of the chancel.
In 2000, archaeologists from Northampton Archaeology discovered evidence of Iron Age and Romano-British settlement on land near Coventry Road and Watling Street.
Westwood Church Coventry Family Communion 190694 Part 2
An edited version of a morning service (Family Communion) recorded in 1994, part of the 150th celebrations at 'Westwood' Church, Coventry. All three associated fellowships (St.Johns, Park Fellowship and Burton Green) meeting together. The service was aimed at all ages, but with sections for a younger generation. A mix of contemporary worship songs (of the time) with old hymns. The talk encouraged the church members to be actively involved in the local community and examined the influence of the church in the local area over previous years. Video courtesy of a member of the church, 'synced' with audio via an old audio cassette. A 'snapshot' of English Anglican life in the '90s'?

St. John Chrysostom's contribution to Orthodox Worship
Part of the January 2008 events announced by Archbishop Gregorios of Thyateira while attending an evening to celebrate the life of Dr. Stavros Panteli (this video was transferred to YouTube from the original Google Video account upload). This event was introduced by The Right Reverend Athanasios Bishop of Tropaeou and consisted of a talk by The Very Revd. Archimandrite, Father Ephrem Lash who presently serves at the Church of SS Anthony the Great & John the Baptist, at Holloway in London.
The talk was about St. John Chrysostom's contribution to Orthodox Worship. This was followed by a performance by some of the members of the London Greek Orthodox Byzantine Choir. The event was held at London's Hellenic Centre on 15th January 2008.
On the web site of the parish of St Anthony and St John the Baptist in Islington there is a simple Commentary on the Divine Liturgy, which was the subject of the lecture by Father Ephrem Lash.

St Osburg's Coventry
Another fine Church located in Upper Hill Street near the city centre. It was the first post-reformation Roman Catholic Church to be built in Coventry and is regarded as the Mother Church for the City's Roman Catholic community.
St Osburga was a Holy Virgin who established a nunnery around A.D. 700. The image at the start of the video is of a sculpture of her. It stands outside St. Osburg's School which is next door to the Church.
At the time of writing a 'Restoration Appeal' is in full-swing as the Church tries to raise a total of £700,000. More information about the appeal, the history of the Church and old images can be found at the official website here:
Coventry Cathedral - The Video Stewards
Film Notes:
Actual sound of the Blitz Bombing has been added underneath film.
Music by Peder B. Helland -- Song Title: Post War
Not long ago, our video production company in Charlotte, North Carolina was commissioned to produce a series of machine demonstration videos for a company located in Coventry, England in the West Midlands of the United Kingdom.
Now, with any trip that I prepare for, or place I visit initially... I enthusiastically research all areas of special interest, history and any other notable aspects about the area worth investigating.
While I could spend more time mentioning the various places I indeed was lucky enough to visit during my trip: Like, the train ride to London, walking to Buckingham Palace, taking in the sights and sounds at Picadilly Circus, riding the London Eye, a tour of the impressive wonders of The Coventry Transport Museum, my first dining experience in England, the unfamiliar road signs and sight of people driving on the wrong side of the road and cars. Very strange I thought. This was only a handful of notable things worth mentioning though.
Through all England's mystery, splendor.... and lack of sunlight, (The sun set around 4:30pm during the winter months.)
I was lucky enough to film at one location that especially stood out to me....a place I wish I'd had more time to learn about before visiting.
My interest in World War II and the thought process of Hitler and the Nazis during such a horrid time had always been of interest to me....more so now in my later years than back in my school days.
Back then, I don't even know if I cared much for anything related to history, nowadays, I'm a sponge for historical information and find I'm always researching to learn more.
Now, In England, little did I know I was about to embark upon a landmark in Coventry that Adolph Hitler and the unforgiving and brutal Nazis regime would attack and utterly annihilate during a massive bombing campaign on the night of November 14th, 1940.
Hitler targeted Coventry, England because it was a leading munition centers in the UK and manufactured about 25% of British aircraft during the war. Coventry, with all its engineering and manufacturing capacity, had become the obvious area for mass production of many war-related products making it a viable target for Hitler's attempt to crush Britain.
Now, here I suddenly was.....on the outskirts of one of the most notable ruins of Coventry still standing today. Barely surviving the Battle of Britain or better known as, The Blitz......an air raid led by the German Luftwaffe that occurred between August and October 1940 in which over 198 tons of bombs had fallen.
Of all the many air raids during this time, even more so than the barrage of bombings on the city of London... this vicious encroachment stood out because it was one of the most inhumane and life altering blows the city of Coventry had ever been dealt since its existence. Operation Moonlight Sonata as it was called, The German air-raid and evil act that was unleashed on the city had rung the attention of the entire world at that time.
Now, there I wandered. Camera and tripod in hand, filming the remains of rubble from inside one of the architectural wonders of the world from over the past 1000 years. First named in the 12th century, The Priory Church of St Mary, then The Medieval Parish Church Cathedral of St Michael and now, the modern, Coventry Cathedral.
Upon returning home and educating myself on the brutality of that night and the detail of the air bombardment....I carefully reviewed the footage I had filmed and couldn't help but reflect on the hours of relentless bombing that had taken place right there where I stood. The loss of lives, the devastation of the city of Coventry and the sacredness of the original Cathedral all but destroyed by their despicable acts.
My time in England seemed to come and go by fast....
....but for a few moments I was able to capture one particular part of history that was destroyed by the evil of man but rebuilt and restored by a ministry of reconciliation and forgiveness. A symbol and reminder to all of us to not allow the poison of unforgiveness to fill our lives but to reconcile with those who have hurt us in order to rise above and move forward from any difficult circumstance in our life.
With portions of the original Cathedral walls surrounding me and the steeple towering above me....I focused my camera lens on the remaining wreckage still standing from that cold, dark night back on Thursday, November 14th, 1940 and began recording.
