Visit Canterbury Cathedral and The Canterbury Tales
Canterbury (Listeni/ˈkæntərˌbɜri/ or /ˈkæntərˌbɛri/)[1] is a historic English cathedral city, which lies at the heart of the City of Canterbury, a district of Kent in South East England. It lies on the River Stour.
Canterbury Cathedral in Canterbury, Kent, is one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England and forms part of a World Heritage Site. It is the cathedral of the Archbishop of Canterbury, leader of the Church of England and symbolic leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Its formal title is the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Christ at Canterbury.
Founded in 597, the cathedral was completely rebuilt 1070-77. The east end was greatly enlarged at the beginning of the twelfth century, and largely rebuilt in the Gothic style following a fire in 1174 , with significant eastward extensions to accommodate the flow of pilgrims visiting the shrine of Thomas Becket, the archbishop who was murdered in the cathedral in 1170. The Norman nave and transepts survived until the late fourteenth century, when they were demolished to make way for the present structures.
The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer at the end of the 14th century. The tales (mostly written in verse although some are in prose) are presented as part of a story-telling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together on a journey from Southwark to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. The prize for this contest is a free meal at the Tabard Inn at Southwark on their return.
After a long list of works written earlier in his career, including Troilus and Criseyde, House of Fame, and Parliament of Fowls, the Canterbury Tales was Chaucer's magnum opus. He uses the tales and the descriptions of its characters to paint an ironic and critical portrait of English society at the time, and particularly of the Church. Structurally, the collection resembles The Decameron, which Chaucer may have read during his first diplomatic mission to Italy in 1372.
The Mayflower was the ship that in 1620 transported 102 English Pilgrims, including a core group of Separatists, to New England. Their story is one of travail and survival in a harsh New World environment.
Robert Cushman (1578 -- 1625) Robert Cutchman or Cushman was baptized at Rolvenden, County Kent, England, February 9, 1577/8. He served as the Chief Agent for the Separatist Leiden contingent and that of Plymouth Colony from 1617 to his death in the spring of 1625.[1]

St. Peter and St. Paul's church sermon, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, UK
The Parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul's
Mansfield's oldest centre of community, dating from 1113 and built on the site of a Saxon Church
stpeters-mansfield.org.uk
Christian worship has taken place on this town centre site since at least the time of the Norman Conquest.
The Choir
There has been a choir at St Peter's since 1736, when a singers' gallery was erected at the West End of the church.
The Organ
Re-consecrated at the end of 2000, the magnificent 3-manual organ is one of the finest in the Southwell and Nottingham Diocese. The foundation of this instrument was the organ of Clare College, Cambridge, which was purchased in 1970 together with its ornate case. It was substantially altered and enlarged by Noel Mander of London before installation in the south chapel in 1971. The original pipe work dating from the 1870's was by Gray & Davison and had been revoiced by Harrison & Harrison in 1911.
Bells
Bells have been rung for centuries at St Peter's inviting people to worship.
Bells are generally rung for Sunday services, for weddings (by arrangement) and on other special occasions.
The oldest of the church bells is dated 1603, and the peal was made up to eight bells in 1762. Bells eventually show wear and have to be re-cast, and the last occasion on which this took place was in 1948.

Christmas at St Paul's Cathedral
This film goes behind the scenes at St Paul's Cathedral for their most magical time of year - Christmas. What is it like for the people who make the magic happen, and how do they cater for the 45,000 visitors that come through the cathedral's doors during the festive season?
Rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London destroyed its predecessor, St Paul's Cathedral is known as the nation's church and has become an iconic symbol of London - home to the royal wedding of Charles and Diana, Winston Churchill's funeral and the Queen's 90th birthday service. Every Christmas, the cathedral puts on a magnificent array of 17 special services and concerts, from the Advent Procession to carol concerts, Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day itself. This programme watches as the spectacular events of the festive season unfold and goes behind the scenes as the Christmas trees are winched into place and the golden copes are repaired. From the clergy to the choirboys, the show discovers the gargantuan efforts that go into making Christmas happen at St Paul's and meet the dedicated people who turn these traditions into a reality.
The film introduces Canon Michael Hampel, a member of Chapter (the cathedral's governing body) and the man tasked with running Christmas at St Paul's. From the Advent Procession to the big service on Christmas Day, it is Canon Michael's responsibility to make sure every event in the St Paul's festive calendar is the best it can be. With a background in amateur dramatics, stage management comes naturally to Canon Michael. Central to the festivities are director of music Andrew Carwood and the 30 choristers that make up the cathedral's world-famous choir. The choristers board at the cathedral school, starting at seven years old and finishing around 13 when their voices start to change. They include 12-year-old Benjamin, who will be spending his last Christmas at St Paul's and hopes to sing the big Christmas solo.
Father James Milne was once a choirboy at Edinburgh Cathedral and is now a minor canon and the sacrist at St Paul's. His tasks this Christmas include finding the celebrities who will read at the Celebration of Christmas concert. Despite his busy schedule, he still finds time for his model train collection. Esther Anstice is one of the cathedral's virgers - the stage managers who make everything go smoothly behind the scenes. From counting wafers to hanging up vestments, distributing service papers to preparing candles, there is no task a virger won't do. Esther is also passionate about the history of St Paul's, revealing her personal collection of historic postcards of the building. Alongside the clergy, virgers and choristers, the show also meets other members of the cathedral's 150-strong staff who keep Christmas on the road, including the 'works' team, who haul three Christmas trees gifted by the Crown Estate into position and assemble the crib scene. In the bell tower are the Broderers, a team of volunteer seamstresses who repair the historic garments worn in services, and a team of flower arrangers put together the Advent wreath. The film also meets the refugees from the cathedral's affiliate charity, the Islington Centre for Refugees and Migrants, and Phyllis Bankale, one of the cathedral's longest-serving worshippers, who comes from Nigeria and has been visiting the cathedral since 1956.
The first big event in the St Paul's Christmas calendar is the Advent Procession, in which the congregation is plunged into darkness and a candlelit procession with 100 schoolchildren gradually brings light into the cathedral. It is a dramatic service - but it poses particular logistical challenges for the team organising it. The glitziest carol service at St Paul's is the Celebration of Christmas. With an orchestra, celebrity readers and over 2,000 guests, this is a major event for the team. There are celebrities to book, and just one chorister will be chosen to sing the prestigious Once in Royal David's City solo.
Midnight Mass takes place on Christmas Eve. It is a massive logistical undertaking as the cathedral staff need to ensure there are enough wafers and wine to cater for over 1,000 people expecting to receive communion during the service. It is also a challenge for the cathedral's choristers, who are up well past their bedtimes. The big Christmas Day service is the jewel in the crown of the cathedral's Christmas celebrations. On Christmas Day alone, over 10,000 people will pass across the St Paul's threshold, and the service is expected to be of the highest standard. After the service is complete, the 100 staff members that work on Christmas Day have well and truly earned themselves a rest.
