More From Tideswell

We can't be sure who these ladies are but apparently they're older than the church that houses them. Aren't they elegant? One is dated c.1300 and the other c.1375. They've been placed rather awkwardly in the sanctuary of the Lady Chapel in a position where only the priest at the altar can see them properly. I had to climb over the altar rail to take these pictures. An act of trespass. But I am still a priest- yes I am: I may be listed in the archbishop's little black book, but they never defrocked me.

I do love churches and feel a great affinity in there - well in most.

Like you said in a previous post, I am sure I was a monk & a Nun in a past life...

I didn't grow up in it as such - though did attend a high C0E till I was 12 and was then thrown out for messing around on pews!(I know daft really ), but my fatehr is a catholic and my mother was a witch so had a rather strange upbringing... I went to sunday school becasue all the kids did... if that makes sense.

I did use to freak people there as I use to 'see' people... and tell them...lol, including old vicars !

Modern churches- by which I mean anything after 1600 approx- leave me cold. I can admire the architecture but I don't feel the connection. Anything medieval speaks to my heart.

I don't have memories of past lives (apart from one or two interesting dreams). I wish I did.

It's one of the things that really, really annoys me that I don't seem to have the slightest psychic ability. If I could ask for a single gift it would be the ability to "see" things.
