Waltham Abbey is a suburban market town in the Epping Forest District of Essex, the metropolitan area of London, and the Greater London Urban Area. Lying on North East London's outskirts, it is located 15 miles from central London. It is on the Greenwich Meridian, between the River Lea in the west and Epping Forest in the east, situated north of the London Borough of Waltham Forest and east of the London Borough of Enfield. It is the resting place of King Harold Godwinson, who died in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
Waltham Abbey takes its name from its former abbey, now the Abbey Church of Waltham Holy Cross, a scheduled ancient monument that was prominent in the town's early history. The town is within the large civil parish of Waltham Abbey which was known as Waltham Holy Cross until 1974. The parish has a town council and is twinned with the German town of Hörstel.
The name Waltham derives from weald or wald forest and ham homestead or enclosure. The name of the ancient parish was Waltham Holy Cross, but the use of the name Waltham Abbey for the town seems to have originated in the 16th century, although there has often been inconsistency in the use of the two names. Indeed, the former urban district was named Waltham Holy Cross, rather than Waltham Abbey. There are traces of prehistoric and Roman settlement in the town. Ermine Street lies only 5 km west and the causeway across the River Lea from Waltham Cross in Hertfordshire may be a Roman construction. A local legend claims that Boudica's rebellion against the Romans ended in the neighbourhood, when she poisoned herself with hemlock gathered on the banks of Cobbins Brook.
In 1177, as part of his penance for his part in the murder of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Henry II refounded Harold's church as a priory of Augustinian Canons Regular of sixteen canons and a prior or dean. In 1184, this was enlarged so that Waltham became an abbey with an abbot and twenty-four canons, which grew to be the richest monastery in Essex. To the abbey's west and south, the town grew as a linear development around a crossing road, although it had a single north-south High Street as late as 1848. The town's dependence on the Abbey is signalled by its decline after the Abbey was dissolved and partially demolished in 1540, the last working abbey or monastery to be dissolved. Waltham Abbey vicarage is a 17th-century timber framed and plastered building. It was given by Edward Denny, 1st Earl of Norwich to create the first curacy, but was much altered in the 18th century and later, and was more recently architecturally Grade II*listed.
The medieval Waltham Abbey Church was kept as it was close to a town and is still used as a parish church. In addition there are other remains of the former abbey – the Grade II*listed Midnight Chapel, the gatehouse, a vaulted passage and Harold’s Bridge – all in the care of English Heritage. These grounds are notable for the reputed grave of Harold II or Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon King of England. On the site of a former gunpowder factory another museum illustrates the evolution of explosives and the development of the Royal Gunpowder Mills (an Anchor Point of ERIH, The European Route of Industrial Heritage) through interactive and traditional exhibitions and displays.
The former gravel pits in the Lea Valley and parts of the former Abbey Gardens are now in the care of the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority for recreational use and nature conservation. The Epping Forest Conservation Centre in High Beach provides information, maps, books, cards, displays and advice for visitors to the area.

Tecklenburg
Tecklenburg is een stadje in de Duitse deelstaat Noordrijn-Westfalen. De plaats ligt in het Teutoburgerwoud, in het Kreis Steinfurt. Tecklenburg telt 8.821 inwoners.[1]
Het kleine graafschap van Tecklenburg ontstond in de 12e eeuw. Het bestond uit het Tecklenburger Land; de westelijke uitlopers van de heuvels in het Teutoburgerwoud. In 1263 werd het graafschap door het naburige graafschap van Bentheim geannexeerd, maar tot aan het eind van de 19e eeuw was er een graaf van Tecklenburg.
De plaats Tecklenburg kreeg in 1388 stadsrechten en heeft een schilderachtig middeleeuws centrum met veel vakwerkhuizen. De belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden zijn de ruïne van het kasteel met openluchttheater. Ook de Legge is bijzonder. In deze overbouwing (poort) werd het in thuiswerk geproduceerde linnen gekeurd, voordat het als Tecklenburger linnen kon worden verhandeld
JFK, Head Cheese, and Witch Burning
A trip to the store reveals apocryphal donuts and head cheese. When the final fight with jet lag starts, we swing past a tower dedicated to a demonologist who tried to stop witchburning and explore a nunnery which seems to have survived the thirty years war. Hint: the nunnery didn't survive everything, that's where the hot nuns are from.
