Heptonstall
Heptonstall is a small village and civil parish within the Calderdale borough of West Yorkshire, England. The population of Heptonstall, including the hamlets of Colden and Slack, is 1,448.[1] The town of Hebden Bridge lies directly to the southeast. Although Heptonstall comes under Hebden Bridge as a post town, it is not within the Hebden Royd town boundaries.
Historically a centre for hand-loom weaving, it was also the site of a battle in 1643 during the early part of the English Civil War.[2] The foundation stone of its octagonal Methodist chapel, the oldest still in continued use, was laid following the visit of John Wesley in 1764.[3

Haunted Britain: St Mary's Church, Langenhoe, Essex, England.
Site of the church once famed within paranormal circles as, 'The Most Haunted Church In England'. With links to the even more famous Borley Rectory haunting through the Waldegrave family, this place has some dark and interesting tales to tell. If only its long ago greatness could be glimpsed today through a greater lens than which the murky veiled ponderings of yesteryear provide, and that we were left with more than just the stories and echoes of a place that once was.
But alas, all we have today are the stories handed down, as the church itself has long been demolished. Still, this is an atmospheric location and one that is worthy of a visit. And from its destruction we are left with one obvious question! Was the church really unsafe? Or was it too much bad publicity for an establishment already showing signs of falling numbers, to maintain a religious building with such an infamous reputation? It has been reported that one of the final demolition team stated that the building would have never fallen, insinuating that it didn't really need to be demolished. And it is fact that many other churches have been left to stand in ruinous state, many even being stabilised and made 'safe' to be open to the public.

Exploring Norfolk - Burgh St Mary's Ruined Church
Another ruined church? Yes, it would seem that in Norfolk there are the ruins of 100 medieval churches scattered about the county. In this episode of my exploration of Norfolk accompanied by Kevin Hall, we make a beeline for 12th century remains of this small rural church. What still stands is made from flint and rubble and covered in ivy and surrounded by trees in a large ploughed field. The most impressive remains is the round tower with a later hexagonal bell platform on top. I gather the church fell into ruins in the 16th century and has remained a local landmark ever since.
