I live the opposite side of holywell hill from the abbey . I've been involved in evacuations on the north east corner and the South East of the abbey plus the garden of the bishops residence across the road from the west end of the abbey . Before work could begin on the extension. I've lost count of the times I've walked around the inside and outside of abbey, yet I nearly always notice something i havnt seen before . Or find out , read , or hear something new , not really surprising considering the age and changes over the 1000 years its been there . Today listening to this video I found out something I hadn't heard before , that Cromwell tried to blow up the tower . It's amazing the building isn't another one of many ruins around our country. I know the reasons but I will never understand why Christians, who beleive in the same God in Jesus , have done so much damage to this and other buildings , smashing the windows, carvings of saints, or trying to blow up a building dedicated to the same God . For imo reasons so ridiculous So selfish, I find it hard to believe those people truly care about God , the shrine the windows the carved images are popish so let's smash them to bits . A building dedicated to the first martyr to die for god in Britain, "its to extravagant " let's blow it to bits " The abbey was more than just a church , as a whole it was the equivalent of today's NHS and benefits for the poor . They took in and looked after the sick , they have bread and soup to the poor , the old , the lonely. They gavea few silver coins at certain times of the year.. Then on the whim of a king who selfishly made himself head of his own church Not for the benefit of the people But to divorce and remarry a woman he had beheaded a few years later. The people lost their NHS The care , the soup and bread The coins ... When I think about the selfish reasons , the destruction. I shake my head and have no words . I feel a higher being cares and has kept the building standing For a reason. The tower stood because Cromwellsmen failed . When you look at the destruction to castles such as corfe, cromwells men knew how to destroy the strongest of buildings Yet they failed in destroying our abbey tower. Thank the Lord and his mercy And not the whims of selfish men . It stands strong and I'm sure it will for another 1000 years . ...
The Roman Church was to blame. It was steeling the poor and charging money to visit the Shrine. The Roman church to this is purely a money making organization. It’s going woke now because the Church is scraping the bottom of the barrel for funds”. lol. The Cof E is doing the same, but far more benevolently, and with a great responsibility toward Stewardship. Rome didn’t then or now belong in Britain. Why? Because it is Not loyal to the Crown and Sovereign. The town should maintain the Cathedral, after all, didn’t the town build it? Yes, there were traveling Master Masons, even from France and elsewhere, but the town builded a firm foundation first. England did two great things in its history. It through out the Rome Church, and it left the EU. These two entities are related. They both are frivolous organization’s when out of their depths, and both have nothing to do with the peculiarities of an Island-mass of land. Britain is a small Continuant. It was unique long before it was an Empire of Nations. Rome of then and now, and the EU are only interested in One Thing, MONEY. That’s it. They are both Takers. Now that said, the Cathedrals were constructed by the R.C. Churchmen of the surrounding towns, and that was all very nice, but all they were just pretty money gatherer’s to send back money to Rome to eventually construct that hideous monstrosity (as Augustus Welbey Northmore Pugin called it), instead of plowing that money into England. Rome was a thief as too is the EU…….and you’re still not fully out of it, and poor poor Ireland and what they’re going through right now. It’s a disgrace. So be glad you’re defending this magnificent structure. Imagine if the EU were involved. “Ok, we’ll pay all bills, but you’ve gotta get ride of all the Cross’s and references to religion. Don’t let the enemy in EVER! I bet you, if you composed an absolutely beautiful letter to the future President Trump, with a Trump crest and lovely polychroming using real gold and ground colors, and really beautiful photographs (not pic’s) you’d receive a nice reply. Call me old fashioned, but stroking peoples little ego’s does work………after all, doesn’t God stroke ours from time to time? This advice also to many wealthy people who would surely take an interest. How about that dame who wrote all those Harry Potter books? She’s loaded. Stroke her ego. Invite her for Tea (not coffee), you’d be surprised how much fun and fulfilling this work can be. You’re supposed to be saving souls, so get to work. The money there for the taking. Britains problems would all be solved if you would just start up the baby mills again. Think of it. The NWO would hate you. Don’t follow the EU, or Rome, or that Fourth Reich called the WEF. BE AND LIVE RESOLUTELY BRITISH. I’m an American Citizen and I know with which I speak. All these three entities want is your money so to control you and own you. Very Sincerely, David Bell of Princess Anne, Maryland. We were England once. Go to Google Earth and observe the lay of the land and the shape of all the farms. It’s very very similar to England.
weird that this was in the game assassins creed Valhalla and a great beautiful Abbey
