I will not appologise my first language was Nigerian pigeon. (tweet tweet)
I am surrounded by lots of redundant churches, not so slowly rotting away. The church in my parish was pulled down in the late 70s. from my minimal perusal of the records for the last two hundred years (http://www.churchplansonline.org/ and search STOW BY GAINSBOROUGH,) they have all needed a massive injection of cash every fifty years or so to no great avail- you can go back to the million fund (for new churches) we are watching the tail end of churching and its up to us to find some meat in it - stow has been funded in the past because of its apparent celebrity as it is now(big sinister international fund to the rescue) but its taking our eyes of the underlying resource of all the churches and getting us involved in lead prices
Unusual hosty remember trowel fodder is under the buildings
I see it as a natural continuation of William Stukeley Itinerarium Curiosum cross pollinated with the apparent underlying building cost effectiveness of the gothic revival which is all about inevitable decay and a small reading of the Church Building Act 1818 (thank the Austrians for fighting for napoleon) and also amendments to build rectories etc and watching lotto grants.-basically none of these buildings were built on foundations which would pass building regs or have any certificates about their foundations so although it is often manifested as the roof need repair is mostly that the whole building is falling to pieces and so every time a new engineer goes at it they have to cover their behinds with pouring loads of concrete having been patched together for the last 200 years often by people who had read stukeley and thought that putting norman things nicked from other english things would give pevsner something to wax misguidedly about so you can go to stow looking to find a magnificent example of imaginative jolly foreigner doesnt do it this way restoration and a find a few possible old stones at the base of a tower but still wonder what might be buried there. More importantly they are restoring it to stop the spread of alternative religions and modern political views. I am surprised that the HSE when they started pushing gravestones over didnt do the same to the churches. The only reason that churches dont kill more people is that theres no one there. And everywhen they patch it they trash another bit of the good underlying archaeology the church (pills must be working as I havent mentioned all the good that these church people do in the world) are even giving guidance?s out about how to ignore archaeology No barton on humber is a step in the right direction I thought that by criticising it and my ability to unit the whole of archaeology behind me we might get to dig a lot more but I suspect that barton is as shadowy as the cosmic report. Are they burying these bodies before the report is out? It must be bad.
pound for pound you cant beat a geodesic dome. one in every parish lots of work for archaeologists
