Travelled to Rusper in West Sussex for a meeting about a possible paranormal investigation at a Pub here. Whilst waiting for friends for some Lunch, I had a walk around St Mary Magdalene Church. It's said that at 416 feet above sea level, you are 'Closer to Heaven in Rusper Church!' ...well, during this Video I was definitely closer to the ground at one point!

Returning to st Magdalene,Mary's church,dorney,bucks,uk,Part 2 of 3
The Church of St Mary Magdalene, Boveney, is a redundant Anglican church standing close to the river on the north bank of the Thames, near the village of Boveney, Buckinghamshire, England. It is about 3 kilometres (2 mi) to the west of Eton College. The church has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building, and is under the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.
Early history....
A church has been on the site since before the Norman conquest, but the fabric of the present church dates from the 12th century. Windows and the tower were added in the 15th century. The church was built to serve the bargemen working on the River Thames; there was a quay alongside the church but there are now no remains of this. It was a chapel of ease to St Peter's Church, Burnham. An attempt to make it into a separate parish in 1737 failed because sufficient endowment could not be raised. Probably in the middle of the 19th century, a dado of bricks was added to the exterior in an attempt to keep out damp, and in 1897 the window tracery was replaced.
Architecture
St Mary's in constructed in flint and chalk rubble, with ashlar dressings. Small fragments of flint have been inserted in the mortar; this process is partly functional and partly decorative, and is known as galletting. The tower is weather boarded; it stands on a timber framework, which itself stands on the ground. The door is in the south wall. High in the west wall is a small narrow lancet window that probably dates from the 12th century. Inside the church, some of the original 15th-century pews are still present. Other fittings date from the 18th and 19th centuries. The ring consists of three bells. The largest of these dates from about 1536 and was cast at the foundry in Reading; the other two bells were cast in 1631 and 1636 by Ellis I. Knight.
Recent history and present day
The church was declared redundant in 1975, and it was planned to demolish it or convert it into residential accommodation. However following a local campaign, it passed into the care of the charity the Friends of Friendless Churches in 1983. The charity holds a 999 year lease with effect from 10 June 1983. The church is still consecrated, and has been used for occasional services since 1983. However the church then had to be closed because it was found that the tower had become unstable, and repair was essential. When 19th-century plaster was removed from the footings of the tower, it was found that they were almost completely rotten. The cost of the repair totalled £200,000. Of this, 70% was received as a grant from English Heritage, and the remainder was raised from a number of sources. These included Sir John Smith and the Francis Coales Charitable Foundation, and Eton College who donated the proceeds of their annual Concert for the Choir. The repair of the tower has been completed, and in 2010–11 another round of repairs was undertaken, including work on the windows. The repair work carried out on the tower won the Royal Institute of British Architects South Conservation Award for Architects in 2005.

These videos document that trip which included a week on a narrowboat cruising the Trent and Mersey canal, a drive across Scotland to see the Falkirk Wheel, the Forth Rail Bridge, Edinburgh Castle, the Harrison clock at Brocklesby Park, Cambridge University, the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, and a bit of London.

Newark Bells Ring Out From St Mary's Magdalene Parish Church
Open: Monday – Saturday 8.30am – 12.00 &, 1.30pm - 4.00pm, Sunday 12.00 – 4.00pm
Newark's medieval parish church with its magnificent spire is one of the largest and finest parish churches in the country.
There is a hole visible in the spire marking the spot where the shot from a Parliamentarian cannon is said to have struck the church in 1664 during the Civil War.
The present building is the third to stand on the site. The first was a Saxon church which was replaced in 1180. In 1310 plans were drawn up to rebuild the whole church with the exception of the tower.
The work took nearly 200 years to complete. At one time the town's trade guilds each had a chapel in the church creating 16 altars as well as the high altar. Most were swept away during the Reformation.
There are now three chapels behind the High Altar. St George's Chapel was established as a war memorial after the First World War and contains the colours of the Sherwood Foresters and the Magnus Grammar School roll of honour.
The crypt, entered by the Lady Chapel, was originally used as a burying place. The bones here interred were moved and the crypt now houses the Treasury. It is the oldest part of the church and is used to display 16th Century chalices, flagons and alms dishes.
One of the church's treasures is an early 16th Century painted panel showing a dancing skeleton and a well- dressed man with his hand on his purse - warning that nobody can escape death despite their wealth.
The church library is in a room over the south porch. It contains books - many of them in Latin - bequeathed to the church by Bishop Thomas White who was Vicar of Newark between 1660 and 1665 and later became Bishop of Peterborough.
The most interesting church monument is the Fleming brass in the north choir aisle which dates from 1363 and is one of the largest brasses in England measuring 2.8m by 1.7m. It commemorates the life of Newark wool merchant Alan Fleming who died in 1361.

The Murder of Mary Magdalene; Genocide of the Holy Bloodline Startling Revelations
The Murder of Mary Magdalene: Genocide of the Holy Bloodline
Was Mary Magdalene murdered? Did the Catholic Church conspire to eradicate the Holy Bloodline from existence?
To some Mary Magdalene was the wife or consort of Jesus Christ. The infamous Da Vinci Code has firmly placed this idea into the popular arena along with the idea of a Holy Bloodline descended from Jesus and Mary.
In this unique film we journey to places never before researched in connection with this story. We venture into the heart of ancient Lincoln, England, and uncover a tale so mysterious, so at odds with the accepted norm, that we are forced to question everything we previously held to be true. We track down unknown texts, journey on a treasure hunt across Lincoln county and discover the final resting place of Mary Magdalene herself.
* See the locations filmed for The Da Vinci Code movie and find an English Jerusalem.
* Come with us as we go beneath the streets into ancient tunnels to find the tomb.
* Explore little known Templar sites.
* Watch as Dan Green goes clue by clue to unravel a magnificent trail of codes and ciphers.
Join us on an amazing journey into a world full of synchronicity.
Special Features include a tour inside the infamous Templar Prison and the Lincoln Cathedral where the Da Vinci Code was filmed.

The bells of All Saints, Canwick, Lincolnshire
Hello! I haven't rung much at all in the last few years, and it's only by chance that I had the opportunity to make this video. I stayed in a hotel nearby and on Sunday morning wandered across to the church, where I remembered from Lincolnshire Bells and Bellfounders that two bells hung in the tower. It turned out that the bells are very much still in use and I was invited to ring them by the wonderful people at the church.
Canwick is a village just to the South East of Lincoln, sitting on a hill that gives a clear view of Lincoln Cathedral across on it's own hill in the middle of the city. The church here has Norman origins though the building rests on Roman stonework. The tower was rebuilt in the 1700s and contains two bells;
Treble: Recast from a medieval Nottingham foundry bell in 1882 by Taylors, at the same time as the two bells being rehung in a new frame.
Tenor: cast by an unknown medieval founder circa 1400, weight 4-2-0. Inscribed m a r i
The services at Canwick and Lincoln Cathedral both begin at the same time so as I left I heard both Canwick bells and the thundering of Great Tom of Lincoln tolling in the distance, Lincolnshire bells great and small. A reminder of the work of John Ketteringham, and the fieldwork of George Dawson and others; whose work on recording the details of bells like these across Lincolnshire has been a wonderful thing to have access to.
