St Chad's, Stafford
January 2014
St Marys Church, Enville, Staffordshire, UK.
I filmed this during my pilgrimage to the village of Enville. I am a huge Witchfinder General fan and this church was used on both their 1982 and 1983 album covers. The NWOBHM was a brilliant era, and I am profoundly grateful that I experienced it as a teenager.
It was a sunny Sunday, and well worth the drive from nearby Bridgnorth.

Lichfield is a cathedral city and civil parish in Staffordshire, England. One of eight civil parishes with city status in England, Lichfield is situated roughly 16 mi (26 km) north of Birmingham, 9 miles (14 km) from Walsall and 13 miles (21 km) from Burton Upon Trent. At the time of the 2011 Census the population was estimated at 32,219 and the wider Lichfield District at 100,700.Notable for its three-spired medieval cathedral, Lichfield was the birthplace of Samuel Johnson, the writer of the first authoritative Dictionary of the English Language. The city's recorded history began when Chad of Mercia arrived to establish his Bishopric in 669 AD and the settlement grew as the ecclesiastical centre of Mercia. In 2009, the Staffordshire Hoard, the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork, was found 5.9 km (3.7 mi) south-west of Lichfield.
The development of the city was consolidated in the 12th century under Roger de Clinton, who fortified the Cathedral Close and also laid out the town with the ladder-shaped street pattern that survives to this day. Lichfield's heyday was in the 18th century, when it developed into a thriving coaching city. This was a period of great intellectual activity, the city being the home of many famous people including Samuel Johnson, David Garrick, Erasmus Darwin and Anna Seward, and prompted Johnson's remark that Lichfield was a city of philosophers.
Today, the city still retains its old importance as an ecclesiastical centre, and its industrial and commercial development has been limited. The centre of the city has over 230 listed buildings (including many examples of Georgian architecture), and preserves much of its historic character.

Wolverhampton West Park - Vlog part 1
In today's video, we've been in West Park in Wolverhampton.
It is a fine example of a Victorian municipal park and was one of the best in the country to set a trend for the provision of areas for specific sporting activities (originally bowls, archery, and cricket). The park is considered to be one of the best, unspoiled examples of a Victorian park left in England and is Wolverhampton's premier open space. The park is 17 hectares (roughly 43 acres) in the area (including its lake) and provides a beautifully landscaped green space within a ten-minute walk of Wolverhampton city centre. West Park plays host to the annual City show. The event attracts audiences from around Wolverhampton and afar. Lots to see with fairground rides and information stalls over the weekend usually around the beginning of July. The site chosen for the first of the large parks in Wolverhampton was the Race Course, or Broad Meadows, owned by the Duke of Cleveland. On 12th March 1879, Alderman Samuel Dickonson invited landscape gardeners to compete for the layout of the park. The winner of the £50 prize was Richard Hartland Vertegans of Chad Valley Nurseries, Edgbaston, Birmingham. This was several years before Vertegans designed Victoria Park, Handsworth, Birmingham. Richard Hartland Vertegans, Victorian landscape designer, who designed West Park Wolverhampton
The park was opened on 6 June 1881 by the Mayor of Wolverhampton, Alderman John Jones. The conservatory was opened on July 1896 by the widow of former Mayor Alderman Samuel Dickinson. Built at a cost of £1,500, it had been funded by the 1893 Floral Fête, one of a series of annual fêtes held between 1889 and 1939.
During Neolithic times, our ancestors were moving huge chunks of rock around the country. The reason that they did it has been lost to antiquity, but the theories abound. These standing stones could have marked meeting places or graves, or they could have been territorial markers. The circular henges (think Stonehenge or Avebury) might have been huge calendars or ceremonial areas. The first 'churches' of all. The long and short of it is that we don't know. There were people in and around the Wolverhampton area during the Neolithic. We know this because they brought megaliths here. A community would have had to come together to do it because one person can't shift these standing stones on their own. The first to arrive wasn't carried here by human engineering. A wild river once deposited all that 'Bunter' sandstone into our bedrock. The melting of the ice age might have caused that. As mile-high walls of ice dripped into thawing, mighty rivers were west Park Stone.JPGformed. One of them was strong enough to carve a massive monolith of felsite, from the vicinity of Arenig, Gwynedd. Imagine the force of nature necessary to carry that, all the way from west Wales, to where Oak Street, in Wolverhampton, is now.
The decorative cast iron square case clock tower was presented to the town in 1883. The clock case has a dial on each of 4 sides and is surmounted by iron brattishing and corona. Charles Pelham Villiers Statue The longest-ever serving member of parliament was from Wolverhampton: Charles Pelham Villiers represented the town for over sixty years. West Park Iron Bridge Bridge over Lake: 1880. Cast iron with ashlar abutments and piers. The largest and most ambitious exhibition held in Wolverhampton was the 1902 Arts and Industrial Exhibition which was sited in West Park. Although housing only one international pavilion, from Canada, the scope and scale of the exhibition mirrored all the advances in other exhibitions of its time. The exhibition site featured several large halls housing machinery, industrial products, a concert hall, two bandstands, a restaurant, and a funfair with thrill rides and a water chute. It's opening, by the Duke of Connaught, was received with hopeful enthusiasm, unfortunately not matched by the weather, which contributed to a £30,000 loss, equivalent to nearly £2M at today's value. The park was placed on the Heritage National Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in 1986. A grant was received from the Heritage Lottery Fund in 2005 to refurbish the tea room.
