and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
In this episode, we discuss how Mary will help in the final battle for our salvation.

Description
Inside ' St Mary the Virgin' Church at Chedzoy, Somerset, April .wmv
The English civil war was fought very close to Chedzoy in 1685---wounded and dying soldiers fell in the harvest fields--a very bloody conflict was fought in this area between Chedzoy and Westonzoyland.The Duke of Monmouth (bastard son of Charles II) led the rebels across the boggy Somerset moors after midnight on the 6th July 1685 but the alarm had been raised and the King's soldiers were well trained and armed and the rebels with their pitch-forks and scythes were slaughtered. Bloody Judge Jefferies hung many rebels following 'The Bloody Assizes' at Bridgwater. This church at Chedzoy has witnessed much history since the 13th century and today it is well preserved and loved by the community.

Ashingdon Battle Site (1016AD) (360)
This is Ashingdon church in Essex. The hill on which this church is situated is the most likely site of the battle of Ashingdon which this year (in 2016, obviously) will be seeing the 1000th anniversary.
The battle was fought between the Anglo-Saxons and the Danes, with a Danish victory effectively bringing about fifty years of instability which ultimately ended with the Norman conquest in 2066.

A 3 Sedgemoor Churches Cycle, Moorlinch, St Mary The Virgin PART VII, July 2012.AVI.wmv
Before the marshes were drained the sea ran up close and local boats landed their fish--hard to believe today.The Saxons and Romans have settled here and King Alfred defeated The Danes in May 878.The Pyk family were of importance here and owned half the Manor and Glastonbury Abbey owned the other half.Lady Eleanor de Beauchamp was the wife of Richard Pyk and her effigy lies within the church.Apparently there is a difference between a Vicar and Rector--the former being a deputy of a rector of the abbey.The church is basically 13th century and has witnessed many events in history including 'The Battle of Sedgemoor' in 1685 where Parishioners came to the church, with its magnificent views, to observe the battle from a distance of less than 2 miles.
I enjoyed the summer cycle here--hottish with a gentle breeze and mainly free from cars--when I arrived I was delighted with the siting of the church with its panoramic views of my beautiful Somerset--its rich architecture and history and the local vicar who providied me with more insight into the church AND turned the lights on. Outside an old man was sat with an easel and paints soaking up the peace and tranquility --often a prerequisite for artwork.
Quiet moments before the Flower Festival, St Mary the Virgin Church, Benfleet 2016
The best time to film any show is before it is open, no crowds to tread on, or to edit things said, and able to walk about. Shortly after this footage was shot, there were indeed crowds. Enjoy.
My Priests suffer ... MAY 7 Prophecy VIRGIN MARY
MESSAGE FROM THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY TO HER BELOVED DAUGHTER LUZ DE MARIA MAY 7, 2018: My Priests suffer and will suffer to the full. Churches are desecrated and the People of My Son are made to suffer by the hordes of satan.
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.

Ghost of ~Garstang ,Lancashire, England.
Greenhalgh Castle is a castle, now ruined, near the town of Garstang .
Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby had the castle built in 1490 to provide defence for his estates around Garstang. The land on which the castle was built is said to be a gift to Stanley from his stepson Henry Tudor for his assistance in defeating Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth.
The castle stood on a small area of raised ground, about 35 yards (32 m) square and was rectangular with towers 24 yards (22 m) square at each corner. It was constructed of rubble and sandstone with angle quoins. The entrance was to the east on higher ground and there was probably a moat in the lower ground surrounding the castle.
During the English Civil War the castle was garrisoned by James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby in support of Charles I. It was one of the last two Royalist strongholds in Lancashire to succumb following a bitter siege during 1644/45 by Oliver Cromwell's forces. The other was Lathom. The garrison at Greenhalgh Castle eventually surrendered in May 1645 provisional on their being granted safe conduct to return to their homes unharmed. Thereafter, demolition teams partially destroyed the castle to ensure that it could not be used again for military purposes. Following continued deterioration of the ruins, the only remain of the original four towers is the lower portion of one. Many of the local farmhouses, including the neighbouring Castle Farm which was built in the 17th century, have incorporated the stones from the castle ruins into their buildings
During the Siege of Greenhalgh, a soldier killed his wife, from whom he was estranged, at Gubberford Bridge. It is said that this bridge is known for its Boggart; the ghost of the murdered woman. In years gone by she would appear to unwary horsemen as a cloaked woman looking for a lift. Only when mounted behind a rider would she reveal herself to be nothing but a skeleton. She was said to be responsible for the deaths and injuries of several terrified riders.
In more recent times, a humble postman was walking his usual round when he found himself staring into the face of a skeletal figure – he dropped his letters and ran. The country lane of this visitation is not precisely known, but perhaps it was a modern appearance of the Boggart of Gubberford Bridge?
St Helen's was the parish church of Garstang; today, as Garstang is split into more than one ecclesiastical parish, St Helen's parish is Garstang St Helen (Churchtown). It is in the Diocese of Blackburn. It has been designated a Grade I listed building by English Heritage. St Helen's is known as the cathedral of The Fylde.
is situated close to the banks of the River Wyre. Historically, the village of Churchtown (once known as Kirkland) was part of the ecclesiastical parish of Garstang, with St Helen's as the parish church. The oldest parts of the church date from the 13th centurya lepers' window or squint;
a grave marker for the village's only victim of the Black Plague;
a large rafter, once known as the new beam, supposedly presented to the parish by King Henry VIII at the time of the Reformation.
The circular churchyard with several yew trees point to its original use as a Druid temple. It was believed by some that the area may have been the site where Christian missionaries from Ireland first set foot in Lancashire at the end of the navigational portion of the River Wyre which flows to the Irish Sea some 14 miles away...

Here I am on a beautiful Spring Day visiting Chedzoy church for the first time in about 48 years--a cycling revisit to capture images all around via photos and video as part of a record of Somerset Churches.A historic place where men died in the harvest fields following the 'Battle of Sedgemoor' on 6th July 1685--many bodies, canon balls etc lay buried here--now the yellow flowers sway in the gentle breeze.

We will remember them.
St Mary's Chapel, Lead 2011
Close to Lotherton Hall near Leeds.Near The Crooked Billet. Visit the church, it is really something.....
This tiny 14th century church, St Marys Lead, stands alone in the middle of a field. The bumps and furrows of earthworks in the field indicate the site of a mediaeval manor house, for which St Marys was probably originally the chapel. Only a short distance away is the site of the battle of Towton, the bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil, which brought the Wars of the Roses to an end in 1461. Ten thousand men are said to have been killed, and Cock Beck, the little stream which you cross to get to St Marys, is said to have run red with blood.
Despite its awesome history, St Marys is a peaceful place. It is known locally as the Ramblers Church, because it was thanks to the enthusiasm of a group of ramblers that the church was saved from neglect and decay in 1931. The repairs made then are recorded on the back of the church door.
The tiny rectangular building is very simple. It was probably built by the Tyas family, whose massive grave slabs are set into the floor. Carved with heraldic symbols and inscriptions, and dating from the 13th century, they are an important and interesting collection. Later additions were made to the church in the 18th century, with a rustic pulpit, clerks pew, reading desk and painted texts.
