St Nicholas, Castle Hedingham, Essex
Sible Hedingham and Castle Hedingham are two large villages which merge into each other across the infant River Colne in the rolling hills of north Essex. The Hedinghams are quite different in character. Sible Hedingham, much the larger, is a working village of housing estates and small factories on the old Cambridge to Colchester road, whilst Castle Hedingham, with its castle, tea shops and pargetted houses, is a pretty tourist trap village. Both parish churches are big, Castle Hedingham's much the grander, one of the finest Norman moments in the county.
My Harrall ancestors farmed in Sible Hedingham, but they were not baptised in Sible Hedingham church, nor did they worship there. Instead, they walked the short distance into Castle Hedingham and the Congregation of Protestant Dissenters at the chapel there, today a United Reformed church in the shadow of the great parish church. Many of them were buried in the little chapel graveyard, although none of their headstones survive, if there ever were any.
Before the end of the 18th Century my great-great-great-great-grandfather Daniel Harrall took his small amount of capital and bought a farm on the Hoo peninsula in Kent. At the time of the 1851 census, in his seventies, Daniel would gave his birthplace as Civiledingham, a reminder that Sible Hedingham is a corruption of Civil Hedingham, the place the people lived as opposed to its rather posh neighbour across the river. Daniel's granddaughter Mary Ann Harrall was my grandfather's grandmother. She knew Charles Dickens when she was a child.
St Mary's at Cubbington on the eastern fringe of Leamington Spa largely dates back to the 12th century, the tower and south nave arcade in particular being good examples of Norman work.
The interior is somewhat dark owing to a profusion of Victorian stained glass windows. There is an interesting 17th century cartouche memorial attached to the wall adjoining the chancel arch.
Church of St. Mark (Croatian: Crkva sv. Marka, pronounced [tsr̩kʋa sʋetog mar̩ka]) is the parish church of old Zagreb located in St. Mark's Square.
Reputedly one of the glories of Wiltshire, St Sampson's great Tudor tower dominates the little town of Cricklade, a rare example of mid-16th century church building.
The church itself exhibits work from the 12th to the 16th centuries, the nave having both Norman and Early Gothic features. The west window contains glass by Kempe, and there is a Gothic cross in the churchyard that once stood in the main street.
