The priory of St Pancras
Just to the south of the town of Lewes is the priory of St Pancras. It coveres an enormous amount of ground, and was the first clunaic house in England. It also housed one of the largest monastic churches in the country.
In 1264, during the Battle of Lewes, King Henry III installed his forces in the Priory precinct which came under attack from those of Simon de Montfort after his victory over Henry in battle.

Lewes `BONFIRE` by SoundMouse
These Bonfire celebrations that transform the town so tediously every year, surely they`re a load of dangerous nonsense, with an unpleasant whiff of sectarian hatred which we should ban or at least make over to 21st century norms. Right ? WRONG. Lewes Bonfire is a rare survival of a genuine popular folk tradition in a society where, increasingly, inoffensive, blandness is the prevailing orthodoxy. Like Siena`s wild horse race the Palino, or Pamplona`s Bull running fiesta, it flouts every health and safety rule in the book. Its cheerful anarchy combined with repetitive ritual horrifies those who would control and curb our every move. Yet with its rivers of fire and throbbing drums it thrums some dark primal, Lawrentian chord deep within us all. It is this neo-pagan ceremonial which draws spectators to our narrow streets to witness a spectacle that few understand. For Bonfire is a melange of historical tradition and anthropological rites, combining as it does elements of fire, ritual and even human sacrifice. Think Ku Klux Klan, Orange Order parades or even sutee, the burning alive of Indian widows - these uncomfortable cousins are the bad bedfellows of Bonfire.
The history of Bonfire is, of course, confused, not to say distinctly dodgy. Ostensibly it commemorates the burning of 17 Protestant martyrs in the Catholic Marian persecutions of the 1550s. But somewhere along the way it got mixed up with the Gunpowder Plot, a 17th Century 9/11: an extremist Catholic conspiracy carried out in 1605 by fanatical terrorists to blow up the English Protestant establishment. - plus some of their own more moderate co-religionists - carried out over half a century after `Bloody` Mary - (which is why Bonfire is celebrated on November 5, of course, the date of the plot`s discovery). Since 1918, the close calendar proximity to the Armistice of November 11th that ended the Great War added yet another element to the Bonfire mix: Remembrance of the war dead whose memorial stands on the site of the Lewes burning.
What Bonfire really represents is not some cosy English custom like Morris Men or Pearly Kings and Queens, but an age when Sussex men and women were fried alive for their opinions. When doubtless stubborn and intolerant, but brave people were prepared to die horribly - whether in Lewes or on the Somme - to defend the liberties, to the death. Would that we had an ounce of their courage today when our freedoms are once again at stake - whether from officious authority, religious fanaticism, or an unelected European superstate.
So even if, when flaming crosses are paraded at the War Memorial at the climax of Bonfire, a thoroughly incoherent history is being remembered, it is precisely this untidy English eccentricity, this Sussex `we won`t be druv` particularism the makes the festivity so precious. Bonfire is about the dark side: the stink of burning human flesh, the crack of exploding skulls, about human freedom, torture, intolerance and death. That is what should be remembered remembered.
Success to the Bonfire Boys !

Places to see in ( Heacham - UK )
Heacham is a town in West Norfolk, England, located beside The Wash, between King's Lynn, 14 miles to the south and Hunstanton, about 3 miles to the north. It has been a seaside resort for a century and a half. There is evidence of settlement in the Heacham area for around the last 5,000 years, with numerous Neolithic and later Bronze Age finds throughout the parish.
The name Heacham is more likely to have derived from the name of the river, The Hitch, in conjunction with the Old English word ham or hamm which meant either homestead, village, manor, estate or enclosure, land hemmed by water or marsh or higher ground, land in a river bend, river meadow, promontory. In 1085 the manor of Heacham was given by William de Warenne to a cell of Cluniac monks from the Priory of St Pancras of Lewes to pray for the soul of his late wife Gundreda. After the dissolution, around 1541, the manor passed to Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk.
Heacham has historic ties to Pocahontas, who married John Rolfe, a native of this village on 5 April 1614 at a church in Jamestown, Virginia. Rolfe took his wife, Rebecca (Pocahontas), and their two-year-old son, Thomas, to visit his family at Heacham Hall in 1616, but settled in Brentford. A year later, Rebecca died in Gravesend, when John was going to return her to Virginia. She was laid to rest at St George's parish churchyard. After that, John returned to Virginia with Tomocomo. Samuel Argall commanded the ship. Thomas was guarded by Lewis Stukley and later adopted by John's brother, Henry. John married Jane Pierce two years later. They soon had a daughter named Elizabeth. Perhaps John lost his life in the 1622 Native American massacre near Jamestown. The Rolfe family home, Heacham Hall, burned down in 1941.
Heacham started to become popular as a seaside resort with the Victorians due to the opening of the railway between King's Lynn and Hunstanton in the early 1860s. This culminated in the building of the Jubilee Bridge in 1887 to replace an old wooden bridge, using unspent subscriptions from parishioners to the celebrations for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Heacham is still popular today as a seaside resort. Both the North Beach (Jubilee) Road and South Beach Road are lined with caravan parks. The beaches at Heacham are situated on the east banks of The Wash; this means it is one of the few beaches in eastern England where the sun sets over the sea instead of over the land.
On 29 July 1929, Mercedes Gleitze became the first woman to swim The Wash, completing the crossing on her third attempt. Originally aiming for Hunstanton, she finally came ashore at Heacham after battling treacherous tides for over 13 hours. Heacham was severely affected by the North Sea flood of 1953, when nine people died after the sea broke through. In early 2013, an exhibition of the North Sea Flood was held at St Mary's Church, with contributions from Heacham infant and junior schools and from other villagers.
Norfolk Lavender Ltd was founded in 1932. Linn Chilvers supplied the plants and the labour. Francis Dusgate of Fring Hall provided the land. The first lavender field was planted on Dusgate's land at Fring and in 1936 Dusgate acquired Caley Mill on the River Heacham and the ground around it, not for the building but for the land. Lavender has been grown there ever since. A kiosk was erected from which bunches of lavender were sold to passing pre-war traffic. By 1936 Caley Mill was already disused and no significant repairs were carried out until 1953/4 after the new road (the A149) had been put through cutting the lavender field in half. At that time a new lay-by and kiosk were constructed. Further repairs and restoration work were carried out at the mill in 1977–78 and in the late 1980s. Since the early 1990s it has broadened its range to include other typical English floral fragrances. These are sold at home and abroad.

You are the centre, you are my life - St Martin in the Bullring Church, Birmingham (Compton organ)
#comptonorgan #churchorgan #pipeorgan
Me playing the beautiful 4 manual Compton organ at St Martin in the Bullring Church situated in Birmingham city centre, West Midlands.
Im playing the hymn 'You are the centre, you are my life' from the new Methodist hymn book 'Singing the Faith'. This hymn makes use of the organs softer sounds and in the first verse can be heard the Cor Anglais stop on the solo division which Compton installed when they rebuilt the organ in 1955. In the second verse I use the Clarinet - also a 1955 addition.
I have also chosen this hymn as I thought it would be apt with Birmingham being in the centre of England!
Many thanks to the officials at St Martin's for allowing me access to this wonderful instrument which is a wonderful example of 3 superb organ builders.
For more information on the John Compton Organ Company Ltd and to see me play other Compton organs, please click on the following link for my site dedicated to the John Compton Organ Company Ltd:
REQUEST: I am always on the lookout for Compton organs to play - particularly electrones - so if you know of any churches which still have these then please do let me know. I will happily give a donation or pay any applicable room hire charge.
A CAPPELLA EUROPE - 700 YEARS OF SONG | BREMF
On 21 st March 2018, Brighton Early Music Festival participated in the European Day of Early Music. (
We chose our programme to reflect our festival theme for 2018, EUROPE, which will celebrate 700 years of music from 17 European countries. We also decided to use the very oldest instruments – human voices – and featured the three choirs connected to the festival:
BREMF Community Choir (BCC)
The BREMF Singers
BREMF Consort of Voices (BCV)
It is particularly important to remember at this time, when anxieties and divisions over BREXIT are pulling communities and families apart, that music has always possessed great power to build bridges and connect people across political and national divides. Britain always has, and always will share strong cultural links with the rest of the Continent.
This concert marked the opening of our annual appeal to support Brighton Early Music Festival 2018. We would be really grateful if you felt like making a donation for listening to the concert.
