I thought this was going to be an indepth interview with a Priest using St Peter's Square as a backgound. However, what actually happened, was the Priest spoke for about 30 seconds, and then the Priest and the TV crew went their seperate ways.
Belgium. Oostende.
The church of St Peter and Paul (Sint Petrus En Pauluskerk) was completed in 1905 after its predecessor burnt down in 1896. The church was modelled after Cologne’s Cathedral and Vienna's Votivkirche and inside is the mausoleum for Belgium's first queen Louise-Marie who died in Ostend in 1850. The stained-glass windows show the portraits of different Belgian Kings.
All the original stained glass windows were destroyed in the World Wars. The current glass shows the portraits of different Belgian Kings and Queens and Saints Peter and Paul.

Marigny, or Faubourg Marigny, was one of the first "suburbs" or New Orleans, created directly downriver from the French Quarter. ('Faubourg' means 'fake city' -- aka suburb -- in French.)
Created and subdivided in 1805 by the Marigny family, who had their plantation at what is now the downriver corner of Elysian Fields & St. Peter, the current neighborhood is roughly triangular in shape, bound by Esplanade, St. Claude Avenue, Franklin Street (or Press Street three blocks farther downriver depending on who you ask), and the Mississippi River, being bisected by Elysian Fields Avenue.
In the 19th century, the neighborhood had many refugees from the Caribbean (namely Haiti after the revolution there) and later followed by Irish & German immigrants mid-century. For a time, there were a number of "coffeehouses" (a euphemism for brothels)...and actual brothels. All of the streets originally had names like "Love," "Craps," and "Good Men" before being renamed in the 1850s as extensions of the French Quarter streets (Rampart, Dauphine, Royal, etc.) that most locals know today.
Fast forward to the 21st century, and you find a cozy, quirky, more relaxed and intimate vibe in the mainly residential neighborhood. You'll find neighborhood bars, a variety of restaurants, beautiful residential architecture, and a little bit of street art.
The best part of the Marigny (for most) is Frenchmen Street, from Washington Square down to Esplanade. It's not quite a pedestrian street, but it's pretty close. Most every night of the week -- but definitely more so on weekends -- you'll find the street fairly full of people and more full of music.
Having more live music clubs than anything else, you'll have your choice of jazz (at Snug Harbor, the Spotted Cat, or the Apple Barrel) and blues and other soulful music at the other clubs like Bamboula's, the Three Muses, Favela Chic. It's just fun to walk down the street and let the sensory overload wash over you. If you want a break, hop into Frenchmen Art & Books to find great books about New Orleans -- including a book about the history of this neighborhood by Scott Ellis, or Dat Dog directly across the street for some "gourmet" hot dogs that'll probably add an inch or so to your waistline. If you're here on the right night (Thursday-Sunday), you can also pop into the Frenchmen Art Bazaar -- an outdoor art gallery/market, that's open from 7:00 p.m. to midnight those days.
If the French Quarter is a little too chaotic for you, Marigny is definitely the place to be.

St Peter's Church Thornaby
This small but beautiful church situated on the village green, orginally dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, thought to be of the 12th century. History says that a place of worship existed there in the time of the Domesday book 1086. The church consists of a Nave, Belcot (turret), and two bells. It is said that Grace Pace mother of Captain James Cook was christened in St Peter's 1702. History also tells us that Robert de Thormodbi, wounded in the Crusades swore to raise a shrine to the Virgin Mary if he survived, he did, and carried out his promise building a shrine niche to the Virgin Mary lit by five sanctuary lamps in St Peter's church.
The Church of St Peter & St Paul in Trottiscliffe built between 1077 and 1107 by Bishop Gundolph of Rochester. Today they Church sits in amongst farm buildings and I've used one of these to frame the shot.
The Church of St Peter the Poor Fisherman in Revelstoke, Noss Mayo, Devon, England, was built in 1226.
It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 6 April 1971, and was vested in the Trust on 28 June 1972.
The mediaeval church has Saxon origins with portions being built in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. The aisle and the porch still have their carved wagon roofs however the roofs have fallen down over the rest of the building.
Around 1870 a new church, also dedicated to St Peter, was built nearby and this church fell into disrepair. It is still consecrated and occasional services are held in the church during the summer.
Founded in 1679. Church of the first First Lady and where she married President Washington. Church both branches of my family attended in the early 1700's.
St. Peter's Seminary is a disused Roman Catholic seminary near Cardross, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Designed by the firm of Gillespie, Kidd and Coia. It has been abandoned since the end of the 1980s, and is currently in a ruinous state. (Wikipedia)
St Peter's Church hidden along the northern promenade it is worth looking out for the lovely Franciscan church built by 12th-century Crusaders. The Muslims converted it into a mosque, and you can make out an area of uneven stone on the southern wall filling in the hole where a mihrab (prayer niche indicating the direction of Mecca) was carved. Later, the Turks used the building as a caravanserai before it was rebuilt as a church in 1870. . Its two features are the boat-shaped nave, a nod to St Peter's piscatorial profession, and the courtyard built by the Polish soldiers stationed here during WWII.
Rendcomb is a small settlement that is home to Rendcomb College whose buildings occupy most of the village. However, the most dominant architectural feature is P.C. Hardwick's stables of 1865, built in a French style, it's size and elaborate ornamentation defy logic.
St Peter's, although at least 12th century in origin, was rebuilt by Sir Edmund Tame circa 1517. Edmund was the son of John Tame who rebuilt Fairford and the churches share many similarities of design. Therefore the church we see today is of uniformly late Gothic design with an embattled west tower, nave, chancel, south aisle, south chapel and south porch.
The church contains a treasure of national significance, the beautifully carved Norman font of circa 1130 which once saw service as a garden ornament. Eleven apostles with their unique attributes encircle the font with an uncarved space to the north representing Judas.
The churchyard has a fine 14th century preaching cross with a replacement shaft and head.
The Rt. Rev. Alexander Gregg, Bishop of the Diocese of Texas, officiated at the dedication of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Rockport on November 30, 1871. Led by lay ministers for much of its early history, St. Peter's first was located at the corner of Live Oak and Wharf Streets near the railroad depot, where services often were halted due to the noise of arriving and departing trains. Relocated to this site in 1954, St. Peter's became a self-sustaining parish ten years later. It continues to serve the community with a variety of programs. (1991) (Marker No. 5078)
