The first missionary incursions Juchitepec as Chalco were by the Franciscans, but the parish seat fixed and corresponded to the Dominican Fathers built their monastery here as usual in the order: 2-story square near the church, about a religious faculty was below the goal, the quadrant, pantry, kitchen, dining room, stairs rising to the high and the sacristy, in the upper antechoir, library, chapter house and the cells of this remains are the ruins that exist today, the Dominicans drew the first streets and taught the Indians to wear white pants and shirt, the church and convent built in the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century.
In a list of the Dominican convents, in the account developed by the monks in the year 1596 does not appear Juchitepec convent, in another list of his chronicle of the year 1606 already appears to its small population and there were 2 or 3 monks and laymen a priest, the parish regentearon half of the eighteenth century, then went to the parish clergy.
At this time he placed the spiritual name of a saint to every village, determining them patrons of the place, the people of reference were as follows: Xuchitepec Santo Domingo, Santa Maria Calayuco, San Francisco Cuautzozongo, Santa Maria Tlacotetelco, San Gregorio Tlacotlapilco, Tlazintla San Miguel, Santa Maria Nativitas Zencalco, San Agustin and San Miguel Ocacalco Tepetlaxco.
The church had beautiful golden wood altarpieces carved Churrigueresque the altar much like it has today, was burned half of the nineteenth century and the sides were removed by some old and others with wood that was in condition behind the altars carved neoclassical available today, the Dominicans technique is also due to wells that after should be the most effective way to provide water.
Las primeras incursiones misioneras en Juchitepec como en Chalco fueron por los padres franciscanos, pero el asiento fijo y parroquial correspondió a los padres dominicos, aquí construyeron su convento como era usual en la orden: un cuadrado de 2 pisos junto a la iglesia, alrededor un claustro confesional abajo estaba la portería, el cuadrante, la despensa, la cocina, el comedor, la escalera que subía a los altos y la sacristía, en la parte alta el antecoro, la biblioteca, la sala capitular y las celdas, de todo esto se ven vestigios en las ruinas que hoy existen, los dominicos trazaron las primeras calles y enseñaron a los indígenas a vestirse de calzón blanco y camisa, edificaron la iglesia y convento, a finales del siglo XVI o principios del siglo XVII.
En una lista de los conventos dominicos, en la crónica desarrollada por los religiosos en el año de 1596 no aparece el convento de Juchitepec, en otra lista de su crónica del año 1606 ya aparece y para su poca población existían 2 o 3 frailes legos y un sacerdote, regentearon la parroquia hasta la mitad del siglo XVIII, posteriormente esta parroquia pasó al clero secular.
En esta época espiritual se le colocó el nombre de un santo a cada pueblo, determinándolos patronos del lugar, los pueblos de referencia quedaron de esta manera: Santo Domingo Xuchitepec, Santa María Calayuco, San Francisco Cuautzozongo, Santa María Tlacotetelco, San Gregorio Tlacotlapilco, San Miguel Tlazintla, Santa María Nativitas Zencalco, San Agustín Ocacalco y San Miguel Tepetlaxco.
La iglesia tuvo hermosos retablos de madera dorada y tallada en estilo churrigueresco, el altar mayor muy parecido al que hoy tiene, se quemó hacía la mitad del siglo XIX y los laterales unos fueron retirados por viejos y de los otros con la madera que estaba en condición se labraron por detrás los altares neoclásicos que hoy existen, a los dominicos se debe también la técnica de hacer aljibes que después deberían de ser el modo más eficaz de proveerse de agua.

A visit to Caernarfon Castle in North Wales. It was here in 1911 and 1969 that the Prince of Wales was inaugurated (Prince Edward later Edward VIII and the current Prince of Wales, Prince Charles).
Caernarfon Castle (Welsh: Castell Caernarfon), often anglicized as Carnarvon Castle, is a medieval fortress in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, north-west Wales cared for by Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service. There was a motte-and-bailey castle in the town of Caernarfon from the late 11th century until 1283 when King Edward I of England began replacing it with the current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale. There was a deliberate link with Caernarfon's Roman past and the Roman fort of Segontium is nearby.
While the castle was under construction, town walls were built around Caernarfon. The work cost between £20,000 and £25,000 from the start until the end of work in 1330. Despite Caernarfon Castle's external appearance of being mostly complete, the interior buildings no longer survive and many of the building plans were never finished. The town and castle were sacked in 1294 when Madog ap Llywelyn led a rebellion against the English. Caernarfon was recaptured the following year. During the Glyndŵr Rising of 1400–1415, the castle was besieged. When the Tudor dynasty ascended to the English throne in 1485, tensions between the Welsh and English began to diminish and castles were considered less important. As a result, Caernarfon Castle was allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. Despite its dilapidated condition, during the English Civil War Caernarfon Castle was held by Royalists, and was besieged three times by Parliamentarian forces. This was the last time the castle was used in war. Caernarfon Castle was neglected until the 19th century when the state funded repairs. In 1911, Caernarfon Castle was used for the investiture of the Prince of Wales, and again in 1969. It is part of the World Heritage Site "Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd".
A Grade I listed building.
History
Begun in 1283 and still incomplete when building work ceased c1330. Built for Edward I of England, it combined the roles of fortification, palace and administrative centre. A motte and bailey castle had been built here in the late C11 by Earl Hugh of Chester, although it became a residence of Welsh princes, including Llewelyn ap Gruffudd, after the Welsh regained control of Gwynedd by 1115. The English conquest of N Wales followed quickly after the death of Llewelyn ap Gruffudd in 1282 and Caernarfon was built to consolidate the English gains. Edward I employed James of St George as his architect, who had previously been employed by Philip of Savoy and had designed for him the fortress-palace of St Georges d'Esperanche. James also directed the building other castles for Edward I, including Harlech, Conwy and Beaumaris, using English craftsmen and labourers. The design of Caernarfon Castle echoed the walls of Emperor Constantine's Roman city of Constantinople, which also has polygonal towers and banded stonework, and was thus intended by Edward to be an expression of imperial power. Edward I and Queen Eleanor visited Caernarfon in 1284 and it was said that their son, Edward, the first English prince of Wales, was born at the castle in 1284.
Construction of the castle was integrated with the construction of town walls protecting the newly established borough, the town being situated on the N side of the castle. By 1292 the southern external façade of the castle was probably complete, while on the N side the castle was protected by a ditch and the walled town. The castle was damaged during an uprising in 1294 led by Madog ap Llewelyn, but Edward I swiftly regained control of Caernarfon and the castle, where restoration work began in 1295. The uprising had demonstrated the need to complete the castle's defences on the town side, which were largely built in the period 1295-1301. Work subsequently continued at a slower pace in the period 1304-30 and included the completion of the towers, including the Eagle Tower which was completed 1316-17 and in 1316 the timber-framed 'Hall of Llewelyn', the Welsh prince's residence at Conwy, was dismantled and shipped to Caernarfon. The upper portion of the King's Gate was constructed in 1321 and included a statue of Edward of Caernarfon, who had been crowned Edward II in 1307.
The castle was garrisoned for nearly 2 centuries but was increasingly neglected as hostilities softened from the C16 onwards. The castle was garrisoned for Charles I during the Civil War but was surrendered to the Parliamentarians in 1646. In the C18 the castle became one of the most celebrated of ruins in Wales, which began its present phase as tourist attraction and ancient monument. Restoration was undertaken in the final quarter of the C19 under the direction of Sir Llewelyn Turner, Deputy Constable. In 1908 ownership passed from the Crown to the Office of Works and restoration work continued. This included the reinstatement of floors in most of the towers and reinstatement of the embattled wall walks by 1911. The castle was the venue for the investiture of both C20 Princes of Wales, in 1911 and 1969.
Exterior
Constructed of coursed limestone with darker stone banding to the S and E external façades between the Eagle Tower and NE Tower. The plan is polygonal, resembling a figure of 8, and constructed around an upper and a lower ward in the form of curtain walls and mainly 3-stage polygonal towers with basements (in contrast to the round towers of the town walls). The structure is in 2 main phases. The earlier is the S side, from and including the Eagle Tower to the NE Tower, was constructed mainly in the period 1283-1292, while the N side facing the walled town was built after the uprising of 1294. The curtain walls are embattled with loops to the merlons and a wall walk. Openings are characterised by the frequent use of shouldered lintels, giving rise to the alternative term 'Caernarfon lintel', and 2-centred arches. The towers have reinstated floors of c1911 on original corbels. The outer walls have arrow loops. Windows are mainly narrow single-light, but some of the mullioned windows incorporate transoms.
The principal entrance is the 3-storey King's Gate on the N side. It is reached across the ditch by a modern segmental-arched stone bridge with stone steps to the outer side, replacing the medieval drawbridge. The King's Gate has polygonal towers with 2-light windows to the outer facets in the middle stage and 2-light windows in the upper stage. The entrance is recessed behind a segmental moulded arch. It has a 2-centred arch beneath string courses and 2-light transomed window. Above the main arch is a statue of Edward II in a canopied niche with flanking attached pinnacles.
To the R is the outer wall of the kitchens and then the Well Tower, of 3 stages with basement. The Well Tower has a higher polygonal turret reinstated in the late C19 and full-height square projection on the W side housing the well shaft. The tower has 2-light windows in the middle and upper stages.
The Eagle Tower at the W end is the largest of the towers, having been designed to accommodate the king's lieutenant. It has 3 stages with basement and 3 higher polygonal turrets. The battlements are enriched by carved heads and eagles, although much weathered. On the N side are 2-light windows and an attached stub wall with drawbridge slot. This is the planned water gate through which water-borne supplies were intended to be conveyed to the basement of the Well Tower at high tide, but it was not completed. It has polygonal responds to the gate, a portcullis slot and 2 superimposed windows between the basement and ground-floor levels. On the N side is a flight of stone steps to an arched doorway at basement level. This postern was the main entrance for those approaching by sea. On the S side the curtain wall is built on exposed bedrock and the Queen's Tower, Chamberlain Tower and the Black Tower each have a single higher polygonal turret. The outer faces have only narrow loops. On the W side of the Chamberlain Tower are stone steps to a doorway under a shouldered lintel that led into the great hall. On the E side of the Black Tower is the shorter polygonal Cistern Tower, with the unfinished Queen's Gate at the SE end. Between the Chamberlain Tower and Black Tower the curtain wall is stepped in, from which point there is a substantial raked stone plinth continuing around to the NE Tower. The Queen's Gate has double polygonal towers linked by a straight wall above the gateway, while the openings are all narrow loops. The gateway is raised above a high basement storey (and would have been reached by the building of a massive stone ramp) and is recessed beneath a segmental arch with murder holes. The Watch Tower to the N is narrower and higher than the remaining towers, beyond which is the 2-stage NE Tower, which has a 2-light window. Returning along the N side, which was built after 1295, the curtain wall and the 4-stage Granary Tower incorporate 2-light windows.
The King's Gate has murder holes to the vault and porters' rooms to the L and R, leading to the interior. Internally the castle is planned around an upper ward on the E side and a lower ward on the W side. Through the entrance passage is a 2-storey projection on the R (now housing a shop), the S side of which retains 2 portcullis slots and a vault springer, indicating that a second entrance was built here, although it no longer survives above the foundations. Above the main gate is a former chapel, which retains its original piscina. The upper storey hall has window seats. On the W side of the King's Gate are the foundations of the kitchens in the lower ward, in which are 2 round foundations for copper cauldrons and springer of a former vault. The Well Tower does not have reinstated floors, but in each storey a fireplace and garderobe are retained and in the second stage is a small kitchen above the well chamber. The fireplaces all differ in detail: in the basement is a segmental arch, the lower storey a tripartite lintel, the second stage a projecting lintel on corbels with raked hood, and chamfered lintel to the upper stage. The tower has a full-height newel stair. The basement is reached by external stone steps. Between the Well Tower and Eagle Tower is a restored fireplace with a raked hood in a chamber whose outline walls are visible.
The Eagle Tower has stone steps to the basement to the L of the main doorway, both lower stage and basement having pointed doorways. The upper stages have 2-light windows similar to the outer faces. The thick walls incorporate mural passages and stairs. In the lower stage is a large fireplace with raked hood and a small octagonal chamber that probably served as a chapel. The great chamber in the second stage also has an octagonal chapel, which retains a stoup or piscina. Between the Eagle Tower and the NE Tower the curtain wall and towers have mural passages in addition to the wall walk and generally have stone steps in either straight flights to the wall walks or newel stairs, and most chambers in the towers have associated garderobes. The Queen's Tower, known as the 'Banner Tower' in the C14, and the Chamberlain Tower have chambers in each storey with small square subsidiary chambers that probably served as chapels, and 2-light windows. The Queen's Tower has 3 octagonal chimney shafts behind the parapet. In the Chamberlain Tower the lower storey retains a fireplace with shouldered lintel. Both towers are occupied by the museum of the Royal Welch Fusiliers. Between Queen's Tower and Chamberlain Tower are the foundations of the great hall, while the 2 superimposed mural passages in the curtain wall have 2-light windows that formerly opened into the hall.
The Black Tower is smaller than the other towers and has only single chambers in each stage, with cambered fireplace in the upper chamber, and 2-light windows. The Cistern Tower has a vaulted hexagonal chamber beneath an open stone-lined rainwater tank visible on the wall walk. In the unfinished Queen's Gate the position of porters' rooms is discernible in the flanking towers of which the S has a lintelled fireplace while both have garderobes. Portcullis slots and murder holes are in the passage. The upper storey over the passage was to have been a hall but was not completed. The Watch Tower is entered by a doorway at the wall walk level only.
The NE Tower is simpler with single chambers in each stage, as is the Granary Tower, which incorporates a well shaft and has a fireplace with raked hood in the upper stage. Between the NE Tower and the King's Gate the curtain wall has corbels representing former buildings built against the curtain, and its mullioned windows incorporate window seats.

PA474 is one of only two Lancasters remaining in airworthy condition out of the 7377 that were built – the other being in Canada. She was built in Chester in mid-1945 and was earmarked for the ‘Tiger Force’ in the Far East. However, the war with Japan ended before she could take part in any hostilities. She was therefore assigned to Photographic Reconnaissance duties with 82 Squadron in East and South Africa. While operating with 82 Squadron, PA474 had her turrets removed and carried the identification letter ‘M’.
On return to the United Kingdom PA474 was loaned to Flight Refuelling Ltd at Tarrant Rushton to be used as a pilotless drone. However, before the conversion started, the Air Ministry decided to use a Lincoln aircraft instead and PA474 was transferred to the Royal College of Aeronautics where she was used for trials on the Handley Page Laminar Flow wing. The trial wings were mounted vertically on the upper rear fuselage.
In 1964 she was adopted by the Air Historical Branch (AHB) for future display in the proposed RAF Museum at Hendon and was flown to Wroughton where she was painted in a camouflage paint scheme, though without squadron markings. During this period PA474 also took part in 2 films, ‘Operation Crossbow’ and ‘The Guns of Navarone’. Later in 1964 she was moved to RAF Henlow in preparation for display at the RAF Museum. The first unit to be equipped with Lancasters was 44 Squadron and in 1965 the Commanding Officer of this unit, which was now flying Vulcans from RAF Waddington, sought permission from the AHB for PA474 to be transferred to the care of the Squadron. An inspection found that the aircraft was structurally sound and permission was granted for PA474 to make a single flight from Henlow to Waddington.
At Waddington a restoration programme on PA474 began, that would take several years to complete. By 1966 work was progressing well and both the front and rear turrets were in place. Permission to fly PA474 regularly was granted in 1967, although restoration continued. The aircraft eventually joined the Battle of Britain Flight in November 1973 prompting the change of the Unit’s name to the ‘Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’. Restoration work on various parts of the aircraft has continued ever since. A mid-upper turret was discovered in Argentina and was brought to Britain aboard HMS HAMPSHIRE and fitted to PA474 in 1975, the same year that the aircraft was adopted by the City of Lincoln. During the winter of 1995/6 PA474 received a brand new main spar, extending her life for the foreseeable future.
After major servicing at Air Atlantique in Coventry during the winter of 2006/07, PA474 wears the markings of EE139, the ’Phantom of the Ruhr’, a ton-up Lancaster that flew her first 30 ops on No 100 Squadron based at Waltham before completing a further 91 ops on No 550 Squadron at North Killingholme. She sports the letters HR-W of ‘The Ton’ on her port side and BQ-B of 550 on her starboard, effectively commemorating the crews of both Squadrons.

Located in the north of Iraq in the Iraqi-Kurdistan region, the Domiz Refugee camp was established in April 2012 by the Kurdish Regional Government to deal with the influx refugees fleeing from the on-going Syrian Civil War. The camp is located 20 kms southeast of Dohuk city, in Iraqi Kurdistan and some 60 km from Syria/Iraq border.
Iraqi Kurdistan has witnessed a rapidly increasing influx of refugees due to the internal conflict in Syria. At the beginning of the refugee influx; the local authorities, together with UNHCR, were able to provide adequate basic services and protection assistance to the refugees but later and because of the rapid and massive arrival of refugees, many families tents are now randomly established across the camp. At the same time, the other part of Domiz camp was well designed with an identified plot per family and seems to be growing into small city. The organized part of the camp built in phases based on budget availability and land allocation. Each plot consists of tent plot, cooking area and sanitation unit. Some families have started extending the shelter provided. With 500-700 new arrivals each day over half of the tents within the camp are shared by more than one family, leading the UNHCR to call the camp 'critically overcrowded'.

Sorry it's a little long i got really into it .P.
History Log 1
"The date today is June 6, 2013. It's been one year to the day that the outbreak started unfortunetly it's also my birthday. The outbreak i heard started in a city called Palm Springs over in what use to be America but, it's not anymore. Apperently some kid killed his whole family and a few others but he was infected with something unkown to humanity before. The people he killed....there flesh would begin to flake, then soon after, there bodies would turn to stone and break into dust. The dust affected people and turned the blood thirsty. The affect started spreading to other cityies and soon te US government quarentined California and broke the start from the rest of there country. This was when it really got bad.
The dust particles of those being killed fell to the ocean and started to affect creatures as well spreading throut the world. The only country the escaped its wrath was Japan. They had developed a way into space before the virus started and now the country is no longer on this earth. I am in the middle east in the area where supposedly jesus recieved the ten commandments but i have forgot anything of religion a long long time ago. Peoplethat still believe came here with weapons,and many of them, but where all killed all transformed before i got here. all weapons in this area are still freshly made or are in amazing condition since this area has seen much war in the past 9 years or so. I found these two hidden in a vault in the back and took them along with all the ammo i found. Me and a few other of the survivors are now stationing ourselves in a nuclear bunker. We also created some cement and use it to make a large casle like structure and have started a community.the ones here are completely immune to the disease we test all new commers by injecting dust into them. It seems to create and effect on the eyes increasing motion vision but, it is not true for all. most of the one here are women and some chilren with maby 10% of us men. it lead me to believe that the dust and disease mainly affect men.All in the community have taken on jobs and i have been elected as the so called "Lord". All the title really is is for me to help the community for the better. However i am also the gunsmith in our sommunity and must act as such.
When we first assablished this area ,which i will now designate as area 13, the crazed attacks were frequint and many with large numbers but have since quieted down and only occure once every few weeks.We still have problems with the animals though,as most of them mutate or transform in some wierd ways and like to stay in herds.At this point in time we are planning on create an antidote or to go around the world and hunt the of them down. Either way i will record my next transmission in the following month.
Superbly restored internally and externally back into its original condition as would have been the case when the vehicle ran with London Country following the split of the former Country Area bus operations from London Transport in January 1970, RML 2412 models the attractive (but short-lived) London Country Bus Services green livery with the canary yellow relief band plus the yellow London Country fleetname and fleetnumbers. This attractive green livery was applied on London Country's vehicles from 1971 until 1973, when the drab NBC corporate leaf green livery was applied to most of London Country's bus fleet, seeing as the newly-formed London Country Bus Services was part of the National Bus Company. As many of the LT Country Area (and subsequently London Country) RMLs were not overhauled as regularly as their red London Transport counterparts were, this led to most of them retaining their original bodies as is the case with RML 2412 retaining body number B2412.
We now have 3 air conditioned bedrooms. We had to move all the slatted walls to be solid and fill the cracks. Man, they get chilly!
Air conditioners/heaters. Yes there are two. The larger one on the bottom is for down stairs. The smaller (it is suspended from the rafters) is for the upstairs room.
St John sits in the shadow of the castle, on the ancient Timberhill cobbled street; although now is is surrounded by the modern sprawl of Castle Mall, and opposite the church on Timberhill are "aspirational" shops, offering shiny things for sale.
Another church I have walked past maybe hundreds of times, and not found open; I think I may have been unlucky, as it was the last handful of passes that I had tried to enter.
There can be no doubting a "high" church, and the church's website makes no bones about that. It has icons and memorials aplenty, but welcoming enough, and a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of modern life in this busy part of the city.
------------------------------------------------
St John the Baptist's church consists of a nave, a chancel, and two aisles which run the full length of both, giving a square plan. The tower fell in 1784, and was replaced by a wooden bell-frame; this was in turn replaced by the current stone turret in 1877.
St John's featured in the Catholic and ritualistic revival in the Church of England, under the great Fr Ram and Fr Roxby, who like other famous Anglo-Catholic clergy in our land had to cope with deep prejudice and even riots. Fr Ram became Vicar in 1871 and over the next 39 years worked to repair and beautify the church which had fallen into dilapidation. He wished to transform the church into his vision of what a medieval church should look like. He removed the pews, the west-end gallery, the Ten Commandment boards, the reading desk and the pulpit. He then put a beam across the chancel-arch, ostensibly to tie the walls together. But it was clear from the start that he meant to put a Cross and figures on it, so restoring the Rood, which had existed in earlier days. He found a rood screen that was no longer wanted in Horstead Church and installed it in St John's. And three fine figures, Our Lord, Our Lady and St John the Beloved Disciple, carved by Zwuik in Oberamagau were placed on the beam above the screen. Fr Ram was instructed by the Bishop, John Pelham, and the Chancellor that the Screen and the Figures were illegal and should be removed. But Fr Ram was adamant that they stayed: and stayed they did!
The reredos is also from Oberammergau, and was installed in 1911. It was shorn of its canopies in 1980, but some parts have been replaced. The pulpit dates from the 1870s. Fr Ram had started to make it himself, but found it too time-consuming. Over the altar is a candelabrum, probably German, of c1500; it was given to the church in 1723.
St John's Church was closed for some years after the second world war, when it was generally agreed that it was surplus to needs. (Norwich City had 53 medieval church buildings in the 15th century - more than any other city north of The Alps!) But when the parish church of St Peter Parmentergate was found to be in need of considerable structural rebuilding because of an unsafe tower, it was agreed that it should be abandoned, and St John's should be reopened.
And so in 1980, under Fr Michael McLean's inspired leadership, St John's was reopened, reordered and made comfortable and conducive to modern Catholic worship. Much of the work was undertaken by members of the congregation. The Rood Screen was removed and the Chancel and Sanctuary opened up, but the rood beam with its figures was retained. A toilet and kitchen were added, and the church was equipped to present the great liturgies of the Christian Church in an attractive, modern, yet traditional way.

In the medieval period there was a lumber market just outside the bailey enclosing the great Norman castle of Norwich. The church of St John Timberhill takes its name from that market, though today commerce in the area takes place in a plethora of modern shops and cafes.
The church probably existed long before the market, however, for the exterior walls show long-and-short quoins favoured by late-Saxon and early Norman builders. But even if the church has roots to the pre-Norman period, the church we se today is primarily the result of extensive 18th and 19th century rebuilding. So thorough were the Georgian and Victorian builders that very little of historical interest remains inside the church.
In the 18th century the nave was filled with box pews, but by the late 19th century the church was in such poor condition that services were held under the west gallery for fear of roof timbers collapsing on the parishioners. In 1871 the vicar, Edward Ram, set about reordering the church to look like it did in the medieval period.
The idea might have been laudable, but Ram had a very Victorian idea of what a medieval church looked like. He replaced the earlier bell-turret with a slender spirelet, and swept away the gallery and box pews. The Ten Commandment boards had to go, as did the pulpit and reading desk. He inserted a chancel screen and rood loft, with carved and painted figures from Oberammergau. His Bishop informed him that the figures were illegal, but Ram was adamant and refused to remove them. And here they stand today.
The striking reredos is also from Oberammergau, but above the altar is the one remaining medieval feature in the church, a German candelabrum dating to around 1500.
Because of all the rebuilding there are few monuments left in St John's. Among the best is a late Georgian mural monument to mason and woodcarver Robert Page (1707 - 1778) designed by Page himself. Page was a member of the Norwich School of artists (see St George Colegate). He tended to work in coloured marble, and frequently used classical sarcophagi and clusters of cherubs to decorate his funeral monuments. For his own family monument he uses a weeping cherub holding a cartouche, standing atop a white marble tablet.
Aside from that, the only real feature of note is a modern panel of stained glass, designed by Martin Travers. This originally stood in All Saints church, just around the corner, but All Saints is now redundant and used as a Christian hospitality centre, so the glass was moved here.
St John is open daily. It isn't what I'd call a compelling historic church, but there are features of interest, especially the 11th century stonework visible in the external walls.

On the edge of the central shopping area, this understated little exterior conceals a gorgeous high Anglo-catholic interior. The building had fallen on hard times by the 19th century; the tower collapsed in the 1780s, the roof was full of holes, and there was a massive restoration in the 1860s to bring it back from the brink. Internally, very little medieval survived. Externally, St John the Baptist is delightful, with that massive 15th century porch and aisles, but no clerestory; instead, the Victorians put little dormer windows in the new roof. They also rebuilt the chancel, replaced most of the windows, and put a little stone bell turret at the west end.
Threatened with redundancy by the Brooke Report, St John the Baptist's modern incarnation as a working church dates back to the early 1980s, when it was designated the main church for the Anglican Diocese's new Parmentergate parish, which covers a wedge shape southwards from the town centre containing the predominantly working class King Street and Rouen Road areas. This wedge was originally served by about a dozen medieval parish churches; St Julian in the parish has also been retained for worship. As a result, there was a thorough and sympathetic restoration.
You step into a building full of space and light, enhanced by the modern chairs, and devotional statues and shrines. Apart from Martin Travers' gorgeous stained glass Madonna and Child, which came here from the east window at All Saints, the finest attraction is the 16th century candelabra with its image of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin which hangs in the south aisle. It is obviously from the continent, but there are a couple of contemporary Norwich angels in the glass on the south side. The 19th century reredos is resplendent in paint and gold, and the parish war memorial asks us of our charity to pray for the souls of the dead, an indication that the Anglo-catholic enthusiasm of St John the Baptist is not new.
19th century shops screen the castle from the church, but this was the closest church to the Castle entrance, and at one time was known as St John Castlegate. It is said that executed prisoners from the Castle were buried here at this church. Now, the Castle Mall shopping centre has brought St John the Baptist back into the heart of the city, and I believe that it is open to visitors every day.
