March, St Wendreda's Church
St Wendreda, to whom the church is dedicated, is the town's own saint and March is the only known church dedication to this saint. She was a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon who is supposed to have been a daughter of King Anna of East Anglia (killed 654) one of the first Christian Kings of the kingdom of East Anglia. Two of her sisters, Etheldreda and Sexburgha, who were the abbesses of Ely and Minster-in-Sheppey respectively, are better known saints. She is also associated with Exning, Suffolk.
The saint's relics were enshrined in gold in Ely Cathedral, until in 1016 they were carried off to battle in the hope they would bring victory to Edmund Ironside, the son of King Ethelred. But at the Battle of Ashingdon the army of King Canute captured the relics and he presented them to Canterbury Cathedral. In 1343 the relics were returned to March, but their final resting place is unknown.
The church is known for its magnificent double-hammer beam roof with 120 carved angels; it is regarded as one of the best of its kind.
John Betjeman described the church as worth cycling 40 miles in a head wind to see.

St Dunstan, Cranford
Parish Church of St Dunstan, Cranford Park, Middlesex, England. Sir Nikolaus Pevsner writes in the Middlesex book (1951) of his 'Buildings of England' series: Cranford House...was pulled down shortly before the Second World War. So the church lies now all on its own, with only the stables close to it, and reached from the village by a drive and across a humped bridge. There is great charm in this solitude....There is also great charm in the church..., an aiseless little building....It has a C15 W tower and chancel of flint rubble; but the top storey of the tower is brick-built of 1716.
Interior, including views of the 1612 monument to Sir Roger Aston, Keeper of the King's Wardrobe, and his two wives:

Richard Beuchamp (1382-1439) was instrumental in the defeat of the Welsh rebel Owen Glendower. Richard was made a Knight of the Garter, the height of medieval chivalrous honour. In 1410 he began a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. On his return to England in 1410, Richard became a member of Henry IV's Council. Richard was High Steward at Henry V's coronation in 1413. He played a prominent role in the dispute with France, leading to the Battle of Agincourt in France which the English won with their archers. On Henry V's death, Richard was made master of the infant Henry VI. Richard died at Rouen Castle, his headquarters as Lieutenant of English Dominions in France.

Kedington Church - A Village Westminster Abbey
Kedington is a village located between Clare and Haverhill in south-west Suffolk.
Known as Kidituna in the Domesday Book (1086), there were 280 people living there at that time.
Today Kedington has a population of about 1,800. Its church, St Peter and St Paul, is one of the historical treasures of East Anglia, dating from the late 13th century. Kedington comes in the top rank of small English churches and is renowned for its unmodernised interior and Barnardiston tombs. John Betjeman understandably christened Kedington ' a village Westminster Abbey'. The 17th century Archbishop of Canterbury John Tillotson was rector of Kedington prior to his elevation.

St Mary and St Nicholas Spalding
Curry Rivel, Somerset, and St Andrew's Church
GO TO TO VIEW MY FAMILY HISTORY WEBSITE.
A number of generations of the Weaver family lived in Curry Rivel in Somerset. The headstone surmounted by a cross in the churchyard is that of my 4 x great-grandparents, Robert Weaver and his wife, Sarah, nee Street, and one of their sons.
My great-grandfather, Henry James Weaver, is remembered on the War Memorial in the village and also inside St Andrew's Church. He was accidentally killed in WW1, nine months after he'd stood at the altar inside the same church to marry his bride, Florence Smale.
Other family surnames associated with Curry Rivel include Twogood and Fidoe.
