Bone Crypt, St Leonard’s Church, Hythe, Kent, England
The bone crypt in Hythe is open to the public seven days a week during the summer months; visit the official website for details:-
The crypt contains the largest collection of human bones and skulls in Britain, with 1,022 skulls and bone remains believed to be the inhabitants of Hythe. The origin and date of the crypt and the bone remains are unknown, but the earliest remains were dug up in the 13th century when the church was extended eastward over the graves and it is believed some of the bones may also be from other graveyards in the Hythe area that fell into disuse and were closed c1500AD.
We visited the crypt during our day visit to Hythe to see the Hythe Venation Fete of floats on the Royal Military Canal in the evening. We had difficulty finding the crypt because it wasn’t properly signposted from the town centre and we had to ask the locals for direction; and getting there was a steep climb from the high street (not suitable for disabled people), but the climb up the steep incline was well worth the effort to visit the crypt.
The bone crypt. St Leonard's church, Hythe, Kent, UK
St Leonard’s Church in Hythe has the largest and best-preserved collection of ancient human bones and skulls in Britain. The collection of over 1,000 skulls is arranged on shelves in four arched bays; the ossuary also contains a single large stack of mainly thigh-bones and some additional skulls.
Many theories have been put forward over the years as to who these people were. The general consensus now is that the remains are those of many generations of Hythe residents who had been buried in the churchyard (evidenced by the deposits of soil within the skulls) and were dug up originally in the 13th century.
During the last few years the skulls and bones have been the subject of scientific research and study using the latest forensic analysis and measurement techniques. The results provide interesting new knowledge about the lifestyle of the people concerned and are overturning some long-held arguments as to the reasons for the cause of death of particular individuals, through evidence from their bones and skulls.

Flamstead Church, St.Leonards, Hertfordshire, UK
The church at Flamstead, near St.Albans, in Hertfordshire is one of the prettiest in the county. The outside boasts wonderful rose beds, while the inside is a treasure trove of plaster murals, inscriptions and sculpture. The church is well worth a visit, but for too far away, this video illustrates a few of the delights to be found.

Chapel St. Leonards is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 5 miles north from the resort of Skegness. The village is a location for caravan park holidays, is next to several miles of beach, and close to Fantasy Island, market towns, and the Lincolnshire Wolds.
A Chapel St. Leonards landmark is Chapel Point, 1 mile (1.6 km) north from the centre of the village. It is a restored part of a major Second World War coastal defence line; the restoration included the gun structure and the viewing platform. In recent years Chapel Point has become a location for birdwatchers, being visited by migrating birds such as the Mediterranean gull.
The name of the village derives from a chapel at Mumby dedicated to St Leonard; the village history is tied to that of Mumby, both at one time being part of the same ecclesiastical parish. The village of Chapel St Leonards Anglican church, also dedicated to St Leonard, was rebuilt in 1572 after a flood, and again rebuilt in 1794 on a smaller scale.
There was further rebuilding in 1866 and in 1901 when the church was lengthened and the red-tiled tower, unique in Lincolnshire, was added. In 1924 the chapel was again enlarged and lengthened, and a new east window and reredos added. The present church holds parish registers dating from 1665, although bishop's transcripts go back as far as 1568.

Rodney Stoke Church of ' St Leonard's ',,Part II, Sept 2011.wmv
This video continues the visit to St Leonard's, Rodney Stoke--the latter lies at the foot of the Mendip Hills but above the Somerset levels--the church was built during the 15th century on the site of an earlier 12th century church.Inside we find a 14th c. piscina with a fluted bowl used during the celebration of the Eucharist and Holy Communion.In this video can be seen the 14th c. 'The Rodney Chapel' dedicated to the Rodney Family and there are 5 monuments, formerly Lords of the Manor: Sir Thomas Rodney under an open canopy (1478); Sir John Rodney (1527); Anna wife of George Rodney under a marble arch,(1630); Wall tomb and momument of George the youngest son of Edward (1651)--apparently the rising figure of a woman with her hands raised is not part of the original monument--very unusual effect I thought--almost Gothic horror effect; on the wall a monument of Sir Edward and Lady Frances Rodney under a curtained canopy (1657/59. The 12th c. font is beautifully carved and one of the oldest features of the church--the wooden cover came later of Jacobian wood 1625 as did the wooden Rood Screen.Part 111 to follow of the churchyard and the Hale Family grave which remembers a victim of the Titanic 1912

St. Leonard's Tower.
St Leonard's Tower is a Norman keep in West Malling, in the county of Kent, England. The tower was built by Bishop Gundulf around 1080. Situated beside Manor Park Country Park, along St.Leonard's Road.
St Leonard's Tower was built between 1077 and 1108 by Bishop Gundulf. In 1090, Gundulf also founded St. Mary’s Abbey in West Malling for Benedictine nuns. It probably served as a fortified house (or Castle),although it is also said to be the tower of the church of St Leonard, which was 70 feet (21 m) long by 32 feet (9.8 m) wide. The church is said to have been demolished for the materials it was made from.Constructed of ragstone, the surviving tower is 32 feet (9.8 m) square, and 60 feet (18 m) to 70 feet (21 m) tall, being built into a hillside. There were three floors. The tower is a Grade I listed building.
