I find it hard to imagine any concept of heaven populated with the ultra religious of any sect. In fact it sounds more like a series of hells. Methodists here, CofE there, Presbyterians on this side, 7th Day whatever... shudder.

It's one of the ways Archaeologists use to track the advent of Christianity in Saxon England, as Pagan Saxon graves were normally N-S orientation.FreddBloggs wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 8:27 am Thinking on this, the village I grew up in had a norman church.

Reminds me of the Blackadder quote that "Heaven is for people who like doing things that go on in Heaven, like singing hymns and watering pot plants......whereas Hell is for people who like the same things you do..."Shahbahraz wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 10:30 am I find it hard to imagine any concept of heaven populated with the ultra religious of any sect.

I 'm sure that you can get better legal representation in hell.

the Churchyard also holds an ANZAC cemetary.

Great forethought by those Normans to include an ANZAC cemetary
