This was taken on Easter, 2011. It starts at Sainsbury's, Friar Street, walks down Friar Street to the town hall, shows the statue of Victoria, walks by St. Laurence's church, show's my favorite Tudor building in Market Place, then on through the cemetary at St. Laurence's church. Interestingly is the memorial to Henry West who was killed in a whirlwind in 1840 that picked him up off the roof of Reading station and killed him. He was putting the final touches on the original Reading station preparing for Queen Victoria's visit to open it. Then, on to Forbury park.

Telscombe Village Wedding
No further details, - pretty sure that this at St Laurence Church, Telscombe Village, but would welcome any other ideas, or of course further information. Date uncertain but probably late 40s early 50s. At the end, another brief glimpse of Peacehaven streets. Joining Peacehaven form the West, then emeging from the cars- -Outside the shop I knew as Poplett's?

St. Lawrence Church, Alton - 1
St. Lawrence Church, Alton.
Alton is a market town in Hampshire, England.
A Royalist army commanded by Sir Ralph Hopton was spending the winter of 164344 in four separate camps, one of which was in Alton. This camp was commanded by Lord Crawford.
The Parliamentary army of William Waller was in the area and Crawford was warned to keep a watch for them. But while his men covered the main roads, Waller brought 5,000 men down back roads and surprised the Royalists.
Crawford and the Royalist cavalry fled, leaving Sir Richard Bolle and his infantry to fight. Outnumbered, the Royalists were forced to retreat, and eventually they were surrounded in St Lawrence Church, where Bolle was killed along with many of his men.
Over 700 Royalist soldiers were captured in this defeat.
Bullet holes from the battle are still visible in the church today.
Here are some photos; the bullet holes are to the left of the door, low down:
The church is difficult to film from this side due to the tall trees. Video 2 is taken from across the graveyard.

The Ghost of Reverend Charles Wigley : St Edburgh Church
A site survey. St Edburgh Church is located in Yardley, Birmingham, England. Built in the 13th Century, it is one of only four Medieval Churches left standing within the city of Birmingham, the others being :
St Giles of Sheldon
St Nicolas Of Kings Norton
St Laurence of Northfield
The spire of St Edburgh was built in 1461 by the same builder who rebuilt the steeples at St Giles and St Nicolas Church. There is a haunting attached to St Edburgh.
Within St Edburgh lies the grave of the Reverend Charles Meysey Wigley ( 1804 - 1830 ) who was the Vicar of nearby St Alphege Church, Solihull, only 6 miles away. The Wigley family were important local people and many of them are buried within the walls of St Edburgh. Only recently were more graves discovered belonging to the Wigley family.
The Rev. Charles Wigley, on the 4th October 1830, after a heavy nights drinking with friends, fell down the stairs of his home in Solihull, Malvern Hall, and broke his neck - killing him instantly. For nearly 200 years Rev. Wigley's Ghost has haunted the main staircase of Malvern Hall and is a famous local haunting. Whilst there have never been any reported cases of his Ghost being sighted at St Edburgh, his mortal remains exist within the church, not even a Christian burial within consecrated ground has stopped the haunting of Malvern Hall.

UK World Harvest Convention 2019
YOUR JOURNEY - GOD IS GOOD: ANOINTING FOR YOUR JOURNEY
Evening session from Special Ministry by Apostle Andrew Wutawunashe @UK World Harvest Convention. 24 August 2019.
Bible Reading Gen 50:22-26, Luke 1:26-38, & 10:30-38, and Ruth ch 1 & 4 Mat 18:18-20, 1 Cor 1:9-10; Psalm 107.
AW made the following prophetic declaration:
*I chose you among the people and called you by name so that I may bless you, and through you show forth My glory. I have perceived that for this cause, the enemy has through persistent attacks, negative words and experiences targeted your mind and attitudes so that you may have no expectation for good on the journey of your life. You are very close, yes, very close indeed to the good land of My promises, but the enemy, just as he did with My people Israel, has targeted your mind and attitudes with negative expectations so that you may not enter. Let your eyes be opened to understand this truth: because your journey is important to Me, I have sent My servant to pray for you that I may visit you on your journey and bring you the good outcomes that I have ordained for you. ..
1. AW quoted Cor 1:9-10.
2. GOODNESS WILL FOLLOW YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY
Goodness & mercy will follow you all the days of your life. God prepares a table before you in the presence of your enemies.
3. WATCHOUT FOR THE STUBBORN MIND - Watch out for your mind for it is stubborn, so much that you must be renewed in the thinking of mind, Rom 12:2.
4. Your journey is with God and your miracles will get to you soon, rather than in forty years.
5. You are supposed to go very far very fast this year. If we renew our minds we will go very far very fast. Satan attacks when you are close so that you may not enter.
6. TWO ASPECTS ARE
6.1 YOUR JOURNEY OF SALVATION
You must be born again & journey with Christ through & through.
6.2.YOUR JOURNEY WITH THE SERVANT OF GOD
Identify who God chose to walk with.
Speak the same thing being in unity with him & with thise that sail with you.
Be in agreement according to Mat 18:19.
7. PURSUADE PEOPLE
Paul said in 2 Cor5:11.
There is the power of him that persuades.
God himself was victim up that in Garden when Satan pursuded Eve who in turn persuaded Adam to rebel against God.
Instead of being victim - also persuade people unto the truth & good things of Philip 4:8
8. YOUR ADVANTAGE ON THE JOURNEY
You have an advantage on your journey because we are not the first people that journeyed.
Jesus, the Master of all journeys did journey before you. Heb 12:1-2.
Besides him, there were many others wayfarers in both Old & New Testament.
9. God is good and on your journey it may look like you are wondering about, but have faith in God for.
10. Focus your mind on good destinations that God has for you.
11. Be confident like Paul, Phil 1:6.
12. On your journey, God will surely visit you to make sure that you get all you are supposed to get.
13. This is why Joseph Gen50:11,24-25.
14. God will visit you to deliver you & even your bones are delivered.
15. All negatives will be removed or made into positives Ex 3:7-8.
16. In the book of Luke, In good pre-wedding times, Mary was visited by Gabriel: Luke 1:26-27,35.
17. In the book of Ruth we meet the journey of Naomi.
After disaster of 3 deaths, Ruth 1:6, Naomi .
Ruth knew that in a journey to Bethlehem, there is bread Ruth 1:16-1.
In due course the journey changed and bread was coming in dramatic turn...from food, real estate, sales, marriage with seed in the line of Jesus.
18. God will reverse the negatives in one night.
19. Throw away despair & have faith that Egypt losses will end today.
20. Why is journey so hard?
Because there is a Satan who knows where you are going and will do everything possible to derail you.
21. Naomis & you get fought because, in 1 Cor 2:9,.
22. So Paul 1 Cor 6:19-20.
23. Your journey is about Jesus just as Naomi's, Ruth 4:14-17.
24. The apostle anointed the saints for the journey with God who is good.
25. The Lord will visit His children & give them bread, conception or seed & a future.
- Bethlehem was visited with bread
- Mary was visited with conception.
- Naomi was visited with wealth & seed in the line of Jesus the Messiah as her daughter in law Ruth was married to Boaz, who bore Obed, the father of Jesse, the father of David, whose line led to Jesus.
26. THE ANOINTING
So this anointing will lead to good things of Boazs, Obeds and Jesses which lead to Christ.
Naomi went through many changes that were leading her to her promotions.
The Apostle declared:
Thus says the LORD,
I chose you among the people and called you by name so that I may bless you, and through you show forth My glory. I have perceived that for this cause, the enemy has through persistent attacks, negative words and experiences targeted your mind and attitudes so that you may have no expectation for good on the journey of your life....
