  • Without doubt Deerhurst St Mary's is one of the most architecturally important pre conquest churches in Britain.

    To think that King Edmund Ironside and King Canute two of the most important pre conquest Kings of England visited and stood inside the very structure we see today.

    Now if that is not awe inspiring then what is.

  • @mortondavid - composer is Charles Villiers Stanford

  • Charles Villiers Stanford

  • The church at 0:41 is the church at  Great Milton near Wheatley Oxfordshire..

  • Lovely to hear Psalms sung so well, with such flexibility and fluidity...really beautiful!!

  • Deerhurst is unique in the Uk with having two pre conquest places of worship in the same tiny village.

    St Mary's seen here was founded in the late 7thC and it's font is the finest AngloSaxon font in existence.

    The tiny Oddas chapel built a few years before the Norman Conquest is also worth a visit but Deerhurst gets a mention in the famous Anglo Saxon Chronicles because both King Canute & Edmund Ironside signed a treaty in the very building we see today in 1016.

  • The church at 0:41-49 isn't St Mary's at Deerhurst

  • Thank you. It certainly has Stanford's elegance.
