A tour inside a 1533 Chancel that’s lost its Nave; Why the Lord Chancellor sits atop a Bale of Wool; and we hear Swallows, Warblers and Long-Tailed Tits

Good afternoon and welcome to today’s episode where we visit on foot a tiny chancel that once had a nave; built in the Tudor times just before the Reformation with a still visible coat of arms of Henry VIII above the East Window.  I find a dusty old love poem of sorts, an ancient kneeler, and delight in the swooping swallows that gather about me.

Are you well?  Are you content?  Do rest in the safety and peace of my podcast which has now had nearly 20,000 downloads which is amazing.  I don’t suppose I can continue forever, but I certainly will until 17th February next year, the anniversary of my mother’s death.  

Thank you for your support and companionship.  Do let me know if you have any ideas for the podcast: who to interview; places to go; poems to read; dedications to make.  I’m just trying to create a warm and gentle place for the curious-minded, who want soothing companionship that involves learning new things and exploring new places.
