...ounds was the Church of the Holy Angels. Mrs Meynell Ingram commissioned Bodley to commence work on the Church in 1872 in memory of her husband who had died the previous year. It was generally regarded as one of the finest Victorian Churches in the country and was known locally as the “Cathedral of the Midlands”.

On one occasion there was no-one around so Gavin and I lit all the candles in the Church as we thought it looked really pretty and brightened the place up a bit. Oh dear – that was definitely not the right thing to do! A stron...

...CHRISTMAS HIGH JINKS: the sounds of La Golondrina floated through the air as Viv sat at the grand piano. How pleased she was that someone had asked them to look after this fine musical instrument for a few months. Having learned to play when she was younger, this gave Viv the opportunity to brush up on her skills as a pianist and she was thoroughly enjoying it. the piano was in the Library and suited the room perfectly. She could hear her father and an antique dealer talking in the Long Gallery as they haggled over the price of a painting that he was selling. Viv gazed out of the window as she played and thought back to the Midsummer’s Eve Ball that...More Tea Vicar? #12

...HERE COMES the BRIDE (Part 1): Now my dad was having to move out of the Hall we had decided to bring our wedding forward so that we could get married in the Church in the grounds (the Church of the Holy Angels) and then have the reception afterwards in the Hall, which was after all our family home. the wedding preparations were going quite well and as we knew lots of musicians it wasn’t hard to find a local band and a DJ to do the disco. A friend of my dad’s offered to do the catering and the bar was set up with plenty of kegs from the local brewery in Burton on Trent. I had two bridesmaids and we all went to Birmingham one day to choose our dresses and...More tea Vicar? #11
