St Peter & St Paul Church - Market Overton

Market Overton: Visiting St Peter & St Paul Church! (28.10.2025)

Culture is an interesting thing – as it often changes and switches. When Henry VIII abolished the Roman Catholic Church in the UK in 1534 (Act of Supremacy) – followed by the Dissolution of the Monasteries – these were tremendous Revolutionary acts that must of shocked the entire population. Even before this, Henry V annulled all foreign-owned abbeys and monasteries (as many English church establishments had been given as gifts to ecclesiastical authorities in other countries) – bringing them into the ownership of the English State. Perhaps the Revolutionary writing was on the wall. Still, out of all this, the “Anglican” (Protestant) movement development – and most of the churches in the UK today are “Protestant” (the Catholic Church was only permitted back into the UK during the early 20th century – but it remains very much a minority religion).

The above is extracted from the linked (historical) articled presented at the top of this article. I believe this information refers to the row of cottages – one of which – we are currently staying within for five-days. This is our current Research Headquarters for this visit (25.10.2025-30.10.2025) – where we will be travelling to and from Duddington (and the surrounding areas). In the information pack provided in the property – it states the house dates from the 17th century (1600s). It possesses two floor, two bedrooms, a downstairs living-room, dining-room, kitchen, and foyer. Much of the downstairs flooring is flagstone – with the floor levels from one room to the next being uneven (on different levels). Apparently, this has something to do with the age of the building.

17th Century Safe - Old Wooden Safe - Built In2o Bedroom Wall!

Market Overton: 17th Century Wooden Safe – Built into Bedroom Wall! (26.10.2025)

Anyway, I digress. This morning, and for the first-time in decades, I heard a local Parish Church ring the church-bells – summoning the faithful to worship on this crisp Sunday-morning! I am literally sat in the epicentre of history! Probably far more so than usual. As you can see above – in the bedroom I am frequenting – there is a wooden safe built into the wall. The wood does not seem that secure to me – and I know I could easily place my fist through the door – it seems that thin (not that I would do such a thing). Years ago (in Hong Kong) when I had to punch objects whilst holding an egg in the palm (which had to remain “unbroken”) – the objects I had to hit were far more “stout” than this structure. I cannot not discern any writing on the casing of the safe – but such a craftsman’s signature might be immediately adjacent to the inner wall structure.

Rutland - Market Overton - Ancient Village Stocks!

Rutland: Ancient Village Stocks & Whipping Post on Market Overton Green! (25.10.2025)

In the old days, the local Courts would often sentence local people to a set-time in the Stocks. With their hands and feet firmly manacled into the device – the interested village population could take it in-turns to throw rotten fruit and vegetables – together with animal waste and other such horrible substances, at the condemned. This was at a time when long sentences of imprisonment were not yet used as a punishment. This treatment was designed to be so humiliating that a villager would not dare commit a similar crimnal act in the future – or at least that was the intention.

China: US [NSA] Planned to Sabotage “Beijing Time” to Disrupt GPS! (20.10.2025)

Besides causing severe disruptions in China, such cyberattacks could lead to international time chaos with incalculable consequences, the agency said in a post on its official WeChat account.

Wei Dong, deputy director of the general office at the centre, said a time discrepancy of just one millisecond can disrupt the sequencing of power substations, leading to widespread blackouts. A difference of one microsecond could result in fluctuations worth billions in international stock markets.

“Furthermore, a nanosecond discrepancy, which is one-billionth of a second, can reduce the positioning accuracy of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System by 30 centimetres and impact everyday communications. And a one-trillionth of a second could cause several kilometres of deviation in the positioning of lunar soil collection vehicles and the Chang’e spacecraft, potentially preventing it from returning successfully,” Wei told China Central Television.

Highly appreciating the outstanding exploits of the KPA that defended the Party and the lifeline of the revolutionary cause and supported the Party’s leadership most actively with the noble blood and sweat and heavy self-sacrifice in each and every stage of our revolution guided by our Party, he paid deep respect to the anti-Japanese forerunners and elders representing the sacred founder generation of our revolutionary armed forces and to the war veterans and officers and soldiers of the preceding generations who have supported the ideology and cause of our Party in the annals of the revolution with noble patriotism and heroic struggle.
