Are these the remains of Britain's earliest church? Archaeological evidence suggests they could be. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj0z…

Are these Roman remains in Colchester Britain's earliest church?

They were first believed to be a Roman temple or shrine, but experts now think differently.

A labyrinth in a Hampshire Church. And it’s a cracking church, too. It sits on the @the_pilgrimsway telegraph.co.uk/gift/10fb988…

Public called on to decipher church’s ‘Da Vinci Code’ labyrinth

Pilgrims are being drawn to the mysterious tiled path which has been cleaned and restored after decades hidden beneath an altar

Reed’s School Chapel, Cobham, Surrey. Founder Andrew Reed’s desire to give both spiritual and physical food to those he sought to help emulates the compassionate ministry of Christ. The words are set within one of twelve baskets; the Feeding of the Five Thousand [Mt 14: 13- 21].

Here’s a video about Keith Watts, who has been playing the organ at Lydlinch Church, Dorset, for a remarkable 73 years. And if you’ve never heard a Dorset accent, wait until the end.

The Church of St. John the Baptist at Edlingham in Northumberland. The church is mostly 12th century in date with earlier Saxon elements. The tower is a later 14th century addition. A great church in a beautiful location. 📸 My own. #SteepleSaturday #Edlingham #Northumberland

A nice story about a long serving church organist in #Dorset. And a good pun on the word ‘stop’, too. @EbiePipeOrgan telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/08…

Dorset musician becomes longest-serving organist after 73 years

Keith Watts, 88, says he’ll keep playing in church ‘until someone tells me to stop’
