Ghost of ~Garstang ,Lancashire, England.
Greenhalgh Castle is a castle, now ruined, near the town of Garstang .
Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby had the castle built in 1490 to provide defence for his estates around Garstang. The land on which the castle was built is said to be a gift to Stanley from his stepson Henry Tudor for his assistance in defeating Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth.
The castle stood on a small area of raised ground, about 35 yards (32 m) square and was rectangular with towers 24 yards (22 m) square at each corner. It was constructed of rubble and sandstone with angle quoins. The entrance was to the east on higher ground and there was probably a moat in the lower ground surrounding the castle.
During the English Civil War the castle was garrisoned by James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby in support of Charles I. It was one of the last two Royalist strongholds in Lancashire to succumb following a bitter siege during 1644/45 by Oliver Cromwell's forces. The other was Lathom. The garrison at Greenhalgh Castle eventually surrendered in May 1645 provisional on their being granted safe conduct to return to their homes unharmed. Thereafter, demolition teams partially destroyed the castle to ensure that it could not be used again for military purposes. Following continued deterioration of the ruins, the only remain of the original four towers is the lower portion of one. Many of the local farmhouses, including the neighbouring Castle Farm which was built in the 17th century, have incorporated the stones from the castle ruins into their buildings
During the Siege of Greenhalgh, a soldier killed his wife, from whom he was estranged, at Gubberford Bridge. It is said that this bridge is known for its Boggart; the ghost of the murdered woman. In years gone by she would appear to unwary horsemen as a cloaked woman looking for a lift. Only when mounted behind a rider would she reveal herself to be nothing but a skeleton. She was said to be responsible for the deaths and injuries of several terrified riders.
In more recent times, a humble postman was walking his usual round when he found himself staring into the face of a skeletal figure – he dropped his letters and ran. The country lane of this visitation is not precisely known, but perhaps it was a modern appearance of the Boggart of Gubberford Bridge?
St Helen's was the parish church of Garstang; today, as Garstang is split into more than one ecclesiastical parish, St Helen's parish is Garstang St Helen (Churchtown). It is in the Diocese of Blackburn. It has been designated a Grade I listed building by English Heritage. St Helen's is known as the cathedral of The Fylde.
is situated close to the banks of the River Wyre. Historically, the village of Churchtown (once known as Kirkland) was part of the ecclesiastical parish of Garstang, with St Helen's as the parish church. The oldest parts of the church date from the 13th centurya lepers' window or squint;
a grave marker for the village's only victim of the Black Plague;
a large rafter, once known as the new beam, supposedly presented to the parish by King Henry VIII at the time of the Reformation.
The circular churchyard with several yew trees point to its original use as a Druid temple. It was believed by some that the area may have been the site where Christian missionaries from Ireland first set foot in Lancashire at the end of the navigational portion of the River Wyre which flows to the Irish Sea some 14 miles away...

Sir Arthur Sullivan - Festival Te Deum
London Choral Society

(Broadcast in 1988; CD released in 2001 by BBC Music Magazine.)
The Festival Te Deum is the popular name for an 1872 composition by Arthur Sullivan, written to celebrate the recovery of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII of the United Kingdom) from typhoid fever. The prince's father, Prince Albert, had died of typhoid fever in 1861, and so the prince's recovery was especial cause for celebration.
The Festival Te Deum was first performed on 1 May 1872 at The Crystal Palace in a special Thanksgiving Day concert organised by the Prince's brother, Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, who was a friend of Sullivan's and commissioned the piece. Sullivan was allowed to dedicate the work to the prince's mother, Queen Victoria: an unusual honour.
At the original performance, the London contingent of the Handel Festival Choir of 2,000 performers constituted the chorus, and the audience numbered 26,000. The Times wrote, we are glad to be able to speak in terms of unqualified praise. It is not only, in our opinion, the most finished composition for which we are indebted to [Sullivan's] pen but an honour to English art. Sullivan was uproariously cheered at the premiere. (Wikipedia)

Highlights of Part 9 video a Follow up from Highlights of Part 8 Video of The Thames Path I’ve walk in 2011, a National Trail footpath running for 180 miles along the banks of the river Thames. Starting at the Thames Flood Barrier at Woolwich in South East London it runs along the banks of the Thames to Kemble in Gloucestershire. Hope you like and enjoy this new video of the Highlights of Part 9 Follow up from Highlights of Part 8 Video of The Thames Path.

Part 9 Video – will be a Follow up from Highlights of Part 8 Video I’d be coming from. Attractive market town of Abingdon on River Thames. The walk from Abingdon to Oxford, This walk starts in the market town of Abingdon and after crossing the abbey stream, the river runs through open countryside for several miles, passing close to Radley, to the beautiful village of Sandford-on-Thames. Here the path is on the island by the lock briefly before returning to the bank to pass through picturesque Iffley Lock and on to the stunning city of Oxford, the last major town on the Thames from London to the source.
Oxford ‘the city of dreaming spires’ after the stunning architecture of these university buildings. Two rivers run through Oxford, the Cherwell and the Thames (Isis), and it is from this riverside situation that Oxford got its name in Saxon times, ‘Oxenaforda’ or ‘Ford of the Oxen’. In the 10th century Oxford became an important frontier town between the kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex and was also strategically important to the Normans who in 1071 built a castle there, first in timber and later in the 11th century, in stone. Oxford Castle played an important part in The Anarchy in 1142 when Matilda was imprisoned there, and later, like many other castles, was mostly destroyed during the English Civil War.
The most famous sight of all is Oxford’s spectacular skyline, perhaps best viewed from the tower 0f St Mary’ the Virgin in High Street. The 62m tower dates from the 13th century. And is well worth the climb of 124 steps tp make it to the top to enjoy fine uninterrupted views in all directions across Oxford and the surrounding countryside.
The walk from Oxford to Northmoor The stunning city of Oxford is the start point for this walk, the last city on the path to the source, and one that is well worth taking a look round. From here to the source the path is now very rural, passing through only a couple of small towns. The rural feel starts almost immediatly from Oxford where the path goes through open meadows, past the reamins of Godstow Abbey, after which the Thames becomes noticeably thinner as it twists round the many corners, on the way to Swinford, with its lovely bridge.
My next Part 10 Video – will be a Follow up from Highlights of Part 9 Video I’d be coming from Trouth Inn pub. Lower Wolvercote. On to Kings Lock. From here to the source of the river Thames the path is now very rural, where the path goes through open meadows, after which the Thames becomes noticeably thinner as it twists round the many corners, on the way to on to Eynsham Lock. And Swinford, with its lovely bridge.
This walk continues from Swinford on to Pinkhill Lock.... Where there a one mile diversion off the Thames Path through beautiful sheep farms On to the Ferry man inn pub at Bablock Hythe. Then the walk takes me on to Northmoor Lock with the village a mile or two inland. The walk from Northmoor to Harths Footbridge Bridge, is very rural. This walk is the first on the Thames path that doesn't pass through any significant towns. just off the path it pases under Newbridge, in fact one of the oldest bridges on the Thames, dating from the 13th Century. path it pases under Newbridge Bridge to Picturesque 17th-century Rose Revived pub alongside the river Thames...

Historic Rye Sussex Uk 1
Truely magnific, A must to see! The historic centre, known as the Citadel, sitting atop the rocky outcrop, is easy to explore by foot. At its heart stands the Church of St Mary the Virgin. Don't miss the view from the top of the tower, the highest part of Rye and for centuries the town's lookout. Overlooking Lion Street is an antique clock dating from 1561, with its mechanism, including 18-foot long pendulum, viewable on the way up the tower.
The Lantern Cross at St. Michael's Mount Chapel
The Shift Doctors travel to St. Michael's Mount on the St. Michael's ley line. This is a short clip showing 'The Lantern Cross' on display in the St. Michael's Mount Church. This 15th century cross is believed to have been made specially for the Mount where Archangel Michael reportedly appeared to various fisherman. The Lantern Cross is carved from a single piece of stone and the good condition of the carvings suggests it was kept indoors, perhaps in the Lady Chapel. The West side of the panel shows The Virgin and Child. The North side shows a King (probably Edward the Confessor) who is said to have founded the monastery here before it was given to Mont St. Michel. The East side shows the Crucifixion with Virgin Mary to the left and St. John to right. The South shows an ecclesiast, probably one of the Mount priors.
