Rotherham?s largest Church is known as the Rotherham Minster and dominates the Centre of this South Yorkshire Town. Until recently this Church, which is as large as many Cathedrals, was known as All Saints Parish Church. This change in name was to reflect its importance as a Church in the region and also marked the culmination of a major restoration project.
The Town of Rotherham grew up along the banks of where the River Don and the River Rother meet. This land along the River?s bank was flat and ideal for the early settlements, but it was prone to flooding. The Saxons, who built the first Church here, therefore chose a site on top of a mound well away from the floodplains of both the River Don and River Rother. This early Saxon Church was built in the year 937 AD and stood on the same site as the present day Church. Since this ...

My dad?s friend and his wife work in the South of France and they live in SaintPaul de Vence. I?ve been fortunate enough to visit them with my parents 4 times in the last couple of years. The first time we went to the village, we were staying in a hotel in Nice and only went to St Paul for the afternoon/evening.

St Paul's Church
On a recent visit to Bede's World in Jarrow, we also went to St Paulschurch, which is a short walk through a park from Bedes World. Visitors wanting to visit the church should follow signs for Bede's World, and parking is available either just outside the church or in Bede's World
The church is actually the parish church of Jarrow, and so sometimes there are services on, but when nothing is happening, visitors are welcome to have a look around.
The church can be accessed from an open gate at the front, with a path leading to the door of the church or from the side, which is the entrance which leads from the park. At the time we went to the church, it was undergoing some restoration work to the roof, so there was lots of scaffolding, and once inside the church, there was also evidence of building work in the form ...
