Volunteer and resident Rex Blatchly, who is eager to help out at any of the Village's activities, took some time away to catch a duck from the paddling pool.
Blick auf den spätgotischen Chorraum der Kirche S.t Oswald in Baunach nordwestlich von Bamberg. Bei der letzten Sanierung, die kurz vor meinem Besuch abgeschlossen war, hat man die Kirche wieder auf den Chorraum ausgerichtet. Das morderne Kirchenschiff aus den 1970er Jahren hat man zurückgebaut, da es zu groß und sanierungsbedürftig war.

“.. we reached the position where it was necessary to go to church... It was a Saturday, and as usual I'd tipped my wages to my mother the night before, and she'd given me seventeen shillings and sixpence for pocket money. That was what we had to get married on. And it didn't last long. When we went into the vestry to sign the book, the priest, Father Lancaster, said: “Well Mr Gormley, it's usual to make a small donation to the church”. I thought, “I'll give him a dollar”, but before I could get the money out he quickly added: “It's usually ten shillings”. I gave it to him with what I confess was a great deal of reluctance. That left seven and sixpence. But luckily we had a very generous helper in Nellie's mother, who paid for the taxi to the church, which was ten shillings, and for the first week's food bill. We had a good party at the Caledonian Hotel on the Town Green in Ashton, and then went back to their house, which was where we began our married life.”
[From “Battered Cherub: The Autobiography of Joe Gormley” (Hamish Hamilton, 1982)]
As there are several very eloquent descriptions of this Grade II-listed building in books and online I will just mention here a few details which, perhaps, are less well-known.
The guide book on sale at the back of the church makes the point that construction of the building was “a community exercise”. In “Another Diary of a Small Town Priest” (Print Origination (NW) Ltd, 1987), former parish priest Canon Francis Ripley explains that “it was built by the men of Ashton during the depression years from 1923 to 1929 and they were directly employed by the architect without any firm of building contractors”. Visitors are encouraged by the guide book to “note the stones [in the outer walls], each of them so carefully carved by the men of Ashton, grey and brown, from Parbold and Darley Dale, cleverly alternated for beauty's sake...”
Canon Ripley also discloses that the two domes in the ceiling -such a distinctive feature of the church interior- were not originally intended to be seen from the outside:
“But when Canon O'Meara saw them from the outside and realised that money was running short he instructed the architect not to complete the roof and to omit the steeple which was to crown the tower. So the domes have remained and with them all the troubles which are associated with flat roofing...”
[“The Diary of a Small Town Priest”, Canon F J Ripley, 1981]
Evidence that the domes were meant to be covered externally by a pitched roof has subsequently come to light in the form of drawings submitted by the architect, J Sydney Brocklesby, to trade magazine “The Builder” in 1926.
Again from the 1981 “Diary”:
“When the church was begun it was to have been a more or less ordinary Victorian Gothic structure and the foundations were laid accordingly. But the architect went on a tour of France and when he returned pleaded with Canon O'Meara to be allowed to change the style of the church. Apparently he overlooked the fact that this meant extra weight which the foundations were not constructed to take. So we are now faced with cracks in the building...”
These defects aside, the Church of SS Oswald & Edmund Arrowsmith is, “by any standards, a gem of ecclesiastical architecture...., the only one of its kind north of the River Loire... It rises from the green church yard in well wooded grounds which form a little nature reserve within a stone's throw of main roads, bustling streets and a twice-weekly market” (“The Holy Hand”, Canon F J Ripley, 1970).
Some excellent photographs taken inside the church can be viewed at www.flickr.com/photos/sheepdog_rex/sets/72157628943970649.
Fr William Lancaster, born at Brinscall in 1902, was ordained in 1928 and served as curate at St Oswald's from 1937 to 1940. In 1944 he returned to the area as parish priest for Our Lady Immaculate, Bryn, continuing in that capacity until his death on 15 November 1951.

St Oswald's
The chancel of the present church rests on Norman foundations, but the first church could have been Saxon. The tower is 15th century and holds three bells, the oldest of which dates from about 1350 and still strikes on the hour. The church has had two restorations in 1796 and 1841.
The sharp late afternoon light of a late winter’s day catches the details of the 15th century church of St. Oswald, Cheshire.

THE MARKET TOWN OF OSWESTRY, situated close to the Welsh border, is said to be named after the Anglo-Saxon King Oswald of Northumbria. Born in 604, he was crowned king of Northumbria at the age of 30. It’s believed he died only eight years later during the Battle of Maserfield in 642, where he lost to the pagan king, King Penda of Mercia. Oswald has since been venerated as a saint.
Upon his death, his body was dismembered and according to legend, an eagle (or his pet raven) took off with one of his arms and dropped it at an ash tree. At the spot where his arm fell to the ground, a magnificent spring emerged and has bubbled at the location ever since.
Farnham was a Saxon village and probably began in the 6th century AD. It is situated on a magnesium limestone ridge - to the west and south-west are low lying lands, which were called 'mires' or 'carrs'.
The history of the village is, in part, tied to the history of the town of Knaresborough - some 2 miles to the south. The Saxon period ended with the conquest of England by the Normans in 1066 - the great Norman survey, known as the Domesday Book, has reference to Farnham and confirms that in 1080 there was a Saxon church there.
William the Conqueror rewarded his knights by granting them 'Manors' - great areas of land to control - one such 'Manor' was centred on Knaresborough and was known as the 'Honour' or 'Lordship of Knaresborough'. Farnham was one of the villages in the Honour, in an area known as The Liberty.
The church in Farnham has always been an important feature - first the Saxon church, referred to above, replaced by a Norman church, built c 1100 AD and later additions over the centuries. Partly to celebrate the millennium, extensive work was done in 2000/2001 to conserve and improve the building.
