A short tourism video about Polesworth in Warwickshire.
Set to the north of Warwickshire, and close to the borders of Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire, the picturesque town of Polesworth grew around a shallow crossing point of the River Anker, which attracted the first Iron Age settlers to the site.
In the centre of the town the beautiful Abbey Church, which is close to the medieval Abbey Gateway with a number of elegant timbered houses close by.
The Coventry Canal was built through the town in the 1770s, and in the late 1800s Pooley Hall Colliery was opened.
The pit closed in 1965 and is now the site of Pooley Country Park and Heritage Centre.

Stay Young near Pooley Country Park
Description
On a lovely archetypal English early morning I drove over to Pooley Country Park playing a wonderful album in my car that I bought for 50p in a Tamworth Charity Shop! I had never heard of the singer before, but the first track Stay Young bowled me over, as it fits my current lifestyle so very closely. The bright Sun, just after Sunrise, lit up a quintessential English Meadow, grazed by a small herd of contented cows. I hope that you enjoy this video as much I did when creating it.

Nestled in an existing residential area and picturesque open countryside, the new homes at Saint Leonards boast an attractive location in the historic Warwickshire village of Polesworth.
The River Anker flows to the north of our new development, while the famous Polesworth Abbey, believed to date back to as early as the 9th Century, is located in the centre of this traditional civil parish.
Polesworth has everything needed for day-to-day including a convenience store, post office and library plus a doctor's surgery hairdresser and butcher. There's also a choice of pubs, restaurants and takeaways.
The village is home to Pooley Country Park which features a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, woodland habitats, picnic areas, tea rooms and a play area, along with nature trails and an orienteering course.
Meanwhile, the bustling town of Tamworth lies just over three miles away from Saint Leonards and offers a wealth of entertainment and leisure opportunities for residents to enjoy, including supermarkets, shopping centres and a cinema. There's also a market held in the town centre every Tuesday and Saturday.
For days out, Tamworth's popular SnowDome is only a short drive away with its indoor snow slope, gym, swimming pool and spa, while Drayton Manor Theme Park and Tamworth Castle are within easy reach too.

Alvecote Priory (blasphemy. A holy place and I find weird dolls)
This has a checkerd history the founder of this priory actually murdered his wife and built it for penance.
Alvecote Priory is a ruined Benedictine Priory in Alvecote, Warwickshire, England. The site has been scheduled as an ancient monument.[1] Now very little remains of the priory, most of the walls have been eroded but a fairly high wall remains on one side. The main entrance arch is the most impressive feature, still standing at around 20 feet (6.1 m) high. The attached dovecote also survives, however both the ruined priory and dovecot are on the Heritage at Risk Register due to vandalism and water damage.
It was founded 1159 by William Burdett as a dependency of Great Malvern Priory.[3] After returning from a crusade, Burdett accused his wife of being unfaithful and stabbed her, and as penance founded the monastery.[4] Little is known of the history of this small priory, which was a dependency of Great Malvern Priory.[5] We only know the names of five of its priors. The first prior of whom any record survives was William de Wikwane who resigned in 1282. The last priors of this small house occurred in rapid succession. William Sutton was recorded as prior in 1535 but by the following year he had been succeeded by William Umberleye. It was probably he who finally surrendered the house to the King's commissioners when the mother house of Great Malvern was finally dissolved in 1540.[citation needed]
Dugdale stated that the tomb of the founder was located in an arch of the wall on the north side of the church and was covered by “a plain free stone curiously embossed with the sculpture of a large cross”. The priory was not richly endowed and the taxation of 1291 gave its property a value of £7 9s 2d. After two centuries the priory buildings were in poor repair and the monks gained the favour of Edward III. Protection was granted to the monks and their attorneys to collect alms in churches for the restoration of the church and cloister. The priory was suppress in 1543 and the priory and its lands were granted to Chancellor Audley. In June it was alienated to Joan Robynson, the widow of the mercer George Robynson of London. The priory remains are now included in Pooley Country Park.
The priory house (ruin in 1965) was built from the stone of the old Benedictine chapel.

Lovely Donkey of Polesworth Abbey
The Story:
As Jesus came closer to Jerusalem, he asked two of his disciples to go ahead of Him. He said, When you get to the town, you will see a donkey tied up. Untie it, and bring it to me. If anyone asks you about taking the donkey, just tell them, 'The Lord needs it and He will bring it back as soon as He's done with it.'
