Hello everyone, Aidy here from Honsin Jones as always, many thanks indeed for teaching on the I'm dealing with the largest roads in Norfolk, I'm a bit involved with Feltwell. I'm referring to St Nicholas School, which is indeed a school. It's about the research school. It's only right, You can see behind me, I have water all around that has been lost, but they are Let's make a small choice on the other part, so we understand we should go and learn a little. There has been a city here since the late seventh century, around the year 683, so 683, We're going in, we're going in to over 13,000 years of history. Now, the city is dealing with a small number of choices on the part of the city, and before the windows after being divided, the water would have flowed down from the hillside, so this would have I passed by the city, something like a landmark. It has to do with St. Nicholas. It's great that we're engaging with schools and communities, making this organization feel really good. The other street lamps are quite interesting. They were not gathering during the 19th-century lists when the city fell. At the peak of choice, and this city is a leader in different eras. The Saxon primary school was built by the Normans as early as 1072, and part of it remains It's very dark, especially in the back of the house, and we're going to go out and have a look at it. Yna, during the 16th century, the school had developed with the aisles, and that is why it is It's huge, really. In reality, it involves much more than just being huge, which is utterly incredible. This is because the center was built during the 19th century. At the building with the slightly different resource. On the second one are several dissenters, and I'm not sure which one of them, because This was after that, but they were being led by Ernest Bojar. I don't know how you came to use this name, but it was at a Welsh-medium school at the university. Otherwise, the school had been provided as a significant location for cyclists during the latest path, and it is very important to the believers, because it was the only difference It would have been a pen-naf, because the naf and its prominent supporters were significant. divided from the bishops, and this beautiful Bible has a local connection With the family. Isn't that interesting? I am standing here, and the rest is one of the Bible's books that is 102 years old. It was provided by Reverend Cartwright in Eastertide 1924, and it is Another important point it shows you is a little further ahead. This pulpit is not from this school; it is provided here from Saint Martin's. The Yng Nghaerfyrdd during the 20th century when the building was being furnished. This isn't very good to share; the Gleaners are still around here. In the general situation, this distance would have been said a few days ago I told the residents they would be notified to start and to carry it out. Glanio'r gorn o'r ffyrdd. The pathways ahead from the room were being provided and arranged. The building was completed in the year 1900. Is this a good table here, we have benches from the 13th century, Among these on the floor, I've come to realize, and I thought that this was It was interesting, or rather, the ways of the room, and it was in the ways, Recently, it has been used outdoors and passed from room to room. Backward, on the positive side, I've come from behind through one of the ways This is actually quite interesting in reality. That's why we're coming to the organ, and this is truly a miracle. It comes from a garage owned by GM Holdic, which is interestingly located in London. It dates back to 1849. It was coming from outside St. Mary's School, in order to clear the paths Gael i come from afar along one of the paths. I'm going to play for you now, using my musical compositions. I'm talking to you. I don't have classical music in my soul. We are going to go to the Welsh room, and one of the Welsh cultural ways. It's still a dull affair here, though. Now, they said there were five ways to the interesting place, and that means the interesting place The interesting thing is being able to establish during services. Everyone else would have come from afar. This curiosity had come from outside in 1977. It says that Robert came from abroad in 1698. As for what actually happened, in truth, the family room The family room, which is the most recent one, is the one I'm going to show you a few incredible photographs of. That would be acknowledged by everyone, but it would have been in his own family room. That's an impossible connection with a local person. The small coffin had come from afar by a rather curious route, that much was certain. The room was built in 1830. On the way from the coffin, and because it's possible to trace the cross on the lid, This acknowledges that it was made for the chief practitioner's use. After 1270, the fine coffin lids had not yet been built at the site. That's exactly what he's doing, so we know that this one is indeed real, so it's extremely 700 USD It's interesting that construction work was taking place in 1898, The distant tower is bleak, but they are reaching some of the distant ones. They are constantly reading books, and someone has written a good poem about them. Five hundred years or more had passed since they spoke to you. We've told you about your coffins and the wonderful ways. It's particularly interesting because Moreover, it is the Bible Basket, completed politically and written in 1717. Now, John Basket has been appointed as secretary to the best secretary of the secretary. For Wales and the University. Therefore, I'm going to look forward to it. The secretary would have been George I. I don't want to get involved with this. If I were very safe with you, I wouldn't really make an effort to contact you just to look at the Politically. I am always writing. The fonts were in truth by another scribe, it had been written here by RAF, because, Just right by the church here, you can actually see its domes in the distance. One of the U.S.'s main Air Force bases in the UK is called RAF Lakenheath. So I'm just having a look. inside the tower, and this lower section, as I mentioned, is Saxon, and you can see where they added a roof over where it had collapsed, and I'm going to show you a little more of that as we head outside. I ran into a local gentleman whose family has lived in the village for hundreds of years. and he actually has photos of what the tower looked like before it collapsed. So if you wait For another few minutes, I'm going to show you those photographs toward the end of the video. And as we step outside, and when I go around the corner here, I'm going to show you a mark. Now this small carved mark is in fact an Ordnance Survey benchmark, and they quite often used to put them on churches because the churches obviously weren't going to be demolished anytime Soon, and they're quite often located on higher ground, making them excellent reference points for ordnance. survey mark. And here you can see the Saxon stonework, and it's wonderful to look at the tower. Again from the outside, say the lower part of the Saxon, and you can see where they put a roof on it. after it had collapsed. It's great to be able to look right back to those earliest phases of the building, and this building has been mentioned and recorded in the Domesday Book, and it was the the only church in this part of the area listed at the time. The building here has been at the heart from the community for well over a thousand years. I wonder how many generations of families are As I make my way back around to the south side, when the camera pans back up to the church, you will Notice there are six stone panels in the flintwork, and these were to commemorate benefactors or church wardens at the time during the 15th century when the church was expanded.
