I get the impression that England was different from, and less civilised than, continental Europe in that the court didn't have a library. John Dee is alleged...
marcel, I am sure Bucksnort Tenn has a few Baptist churches in the area, and I seem to recall hearing that there is a tiny AME (African Methodist Episcopal)...
There are new entries on the Norfolk Churches site for New Buckenham, Old Buckenham and Tibenham. There are now 402 churches on the site. Entries coming up in...
Thank you Jeremy for such a full and informative reply. I will read the chapter in your book as you suggest. I had no idea that protestants had been paid to...
"had no idea that protestants had been paid to leave in this way " Hey Phil, I didn't say the Protestants were given four years' pay to leave! They were given...
He's right, as usual. I wasn't thinking of churches. Churches often get reused. There is a good example in Galveston---a former presbyterian church, I...
... No, it's not the church, it's the hospital. The founder of St. Bart's, Rahere, founded both a priory of Augustinian Canons, and a hospital for charity, as...

You most definitely did not say that! Perhaps I meant maid -er- made, heck it was a lllllooooooonnnnnnngggggg day in the office today. Paid to leave indeed,...
And St Barts-the-Less is a real gem, a medieval tower and a frivilous Georgian octagon with plaster vaults for the church proper. Best wishes Phil Bristol UK ...
... you're dissing *Middlesbrough*? Hmm. Brentwood is the ecclesiolagical equivalent of a food hall in a shopping mall. Quinlan Terry should be strung up. -- ...
Thanks. Tina explained that to me. Octagonal the article said. Gee, I wish I had gone exploring and found it while I was there, but my legs were getting tired...
How do you rate Guildford? It's one we saw on our '84 trip. I thought the exterior was dull, but it had some nice vestments on display, and Win loved it.---Les...

I like Guildford - when I saw it it stood on a hill outside of the city in almost total isolation in landscaped grounds - a bit like a huge crematorium. Today...
Tried to send this yesterday, but the two photos together were rejected. So this time, one at a time. First the church, then the cottage separately. ... I...
The cottage is the reason for going to the village. It may be the only one-room half-timbered cottage left in Nottinghamshire. (The wing on the right is a ...
