St Michaels The Archangel, Shalfleet, Isle of White
The dedication to St. Michael was made in 1964 as the previous dedication had been lost.
It has a tower that was built in 1070. It originally had no ground level door, and the entrance was through a door on the roof. Parishioners had to access the room by climbing a ladder. The walls of the church are five feet thick and it was a refuge for residents during attacks by the French who had sailed up Newtown Creek. A "3 pound" parish gun which was inscribed 'Schawflet' was kept in the tower until 1779.
The church had a steeple that was added around 1800, but the steeple was determined to be unstable and it was removed in 1912. The money for the steeple was raised by selling the parish gun and t...

Eventually the builders gave up building it in the planned flat location and built it on the hill.[1] The church is medieval.[2] It is noted for its medieval wall painting of a Lily crucifix, one of only two...

I filmed this church a couple of months ago. Absolutely beautiful & full of colours.
Such a beautiful old church. Thank you for the walk around 😊
Lovely video of a place very dear to me. Thank you 😊
Amazing church, was Married here in 2008 & christened with my daughter in 2011, so very special memories
It is a beautiful church, it’s nice to have personal memories of it
So glad you came to visit our beautiful church! David Treasurer of FASU (Friends of All Saints Ulcombe)
Thank you and the pleasure’s all mine, a beautiful church
Hamlet?? Its become part ov the sprawl of maidstome! Was a village when i was achild.....now as with most places, excessive housebuilding has ruined it
@@jean-paul7251 good morning, you are quite right.All these beautiful places are ruined by the constant stream of people and shabby homes. It’s such a shame
so beautiful I had to revisit this video🙂
@@tericarter2019 thank you that’s very kind of you to watch
History everywhere .love it xx if only the church could talk ,what could we learn xxx
Thank you for the comment, and agreed wouldn’t it be good to have been there in different times in history
1633, 4 years before my mom's ancestors left for the Massachusetts Bay Colony from King's Lynn and Bishops Strortford. Structure could have been a recieving tomb for winter burials. When the ground was too hard/ frozen to dig.
That’s interesting I didn’t know that, thank you I’ll look more into that
This is awesome. I walked through these grounds recently. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for comment I’m glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely stunning. I've been in Maidstone for 30 odd years and have never taken the time to admire this beautiful church! Thank you for the walk around 😊
I’m glad you enjoyed, we all tend to miss the beautiful things on our door step.
My mother is a direct descendant of Sir James Hobart, and I would love to go and see this manor one day, despite the fact it’s not the original building
Thank you Immensely, Mr. Stewart, for your Exceptionally Interesting Video. It is a fitting tribute, to Winston Spencer Churchill, who I personally believe to be the greatest Leader this Planet has ever had, since the beginning of the twentieth century, through to the present, time. He IS indeed, 'THE LAST LION' !! ❤ 🇬🇧 ❤ Roland Singh, Canada 🇨🇦
Good morning thank you very much for the comment. I am pleased you enjoyed the video. I would agree very much with your comments. I wish you a lovely day
Just gorgeous Paul. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it very grateful for you watching ill get back to making more soon
Looks like stained glass by Morris
Thank you for the lovely footage at an unusual time of year 😊
Thank you very much for watching and glad you enjoyed it
Cheers for the shout out again was a nice yewtree Lovely church. Look forward to your next video
Thanks for uploading this! I was here last summer after a walk through Whitstable. I found a small footpath through the shrubs and ended up in the middle of this graveyard. Such a nice, beautiful place. It was very welcome after walking all day in the scorching sun. I took some pictures but it's very nice to see a video of it!
Thank you for taking time to watch, very grateful for your comments. Glad you had a lovely day when you went.
Yet another beautiful church Paul. Shame it blacked out near the end. 👏
Thank you for watching and apologies for the loss at the end. Not sure why that happened, I'll try and rectify it.
Lovely matey nice to see you filming again, check video from around six and half minute mark image lost . Keep them coming summer is on its way xx
Thank you, not sure why it blacked out at the end. It was ok on uploading. xx
You didnt show or mention the famous Septvans brass from 1306. The music is too intrusive too.
Thank you for the great video. This is the area where my Gibbs ancestors lived from the 16h century onward. The Edmond Gibbs mentioned was the bother of my 7thggrandfather. Take down the signage and the black top from the path and I'm sure it didn't look much different back then.
Thank you for the information and im sure you are very proud that your ancestors were in this wonderful area. Thanks again, sorry I couldn't get inside the church on this occasion.
Really nice
Thanks a lot
@@paulstewart100666 my pleasure
Those children's graves are very famous. The churchyard is described by Charles Dickens. It is where the escaped convict Magwitch catches young Pip at the start of Great Expectations and threatens him into bringing him a pork pie, brandy and a file. The graves are described in some detail.
Thank you for commenting and Information, I will definitely look it up
@paulstewart100666 It's also in the original b&w movie by David Lean made in 1949 (I think..). I don't know whether it was filmed on location, but I seem to remember the little graves are shown.
Awesome share, new friend here.
Thank you that’s very kind of you
My pleasure @@paulstewart100666
Amazing views, excellent video
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting
Have a great day @@paulstewart100666
Those steps would have led to a rood screen with a balcony xx ..they were removed alot during the reformation
Thank you for comment and information 😊
Beautiful place Paul. Nothing like a empty church to yourself. Thank you muchly for sharing. 👏
Thanks for watching Kev, glad yo enjoyed
Delightful indeed! A very pretty little church. The gates are lovely (thank you for the mention) as is the door and I love the ironwork on the churchyard wall. Thanks, as always, for the look around 😊
Hi Nicola, thank you very much for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the Gate and the Church door. I specially look at these for you. Hopefully, more to come in the future xx
Nice revisit, thanks for the yewtree shot and call out 😊 Looks so different in daylight. Nice video look forward to the next one.
Thanks John, always glad you watch the videos, always happy to spot the yew trees. Look forward to your video
Think I mentioned in one of your previous videos that the steps used to lead to the Rood loft. Maybe RUclips deleted the comment as they thought it was Rood? 🙂 Pretty sure we looked for this church and couldn't work out where it was. We go up to Seasalter regularly. I've worked on several of the Churches Conservation Trusts churches in the past, but in the West Country where I used to live 🙂🙂
Hi there thank you for the comment, I knew someone had said in the past. Thank you for reminding me. I hope you find the church it’s a beautiful place for sure. Thanks for watching
@@paulstewart100666 That was me 😁Cheers Paul 🙂
Excellent tour 🙂 The truncated arches you saw would have been reduced when the tower was added. Before that they would have carried on to form a vaulted roof. You can see the hatch in the timber floor through which the bells would have been hauled up. The room above the porch is called a Parvis, usually used as a school room or for meetings, highly unlikely to be a priest hole as they probably would have found the priest very quickly if he'd hidden there. I've not seen timber steps up to one before, very interesting. I must pop up there and have a look soon, we live very close. Ta for the video 🙂
Great video , love that coast line and I have many happy memories at minis ❤
Thank you for the mention, you know what I like. Good video lovely church. Even the antique shop looked idyllic. Thank you for the Walkabout.
Thanks John, as ever appreciate you taking the time to look and comment.
Stunning! I love all the old woodwork, particularly the steps. Thank you for the look around 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, it was indeed nice old woodwork. The voiceover was delightful as well I feel.

Thanks for watching Kev, always grateful
Absolutely stunning job Paul. Beautiful find.
Thank you for watching and commenting
A lovey churchyard
Thank you it really was lovely
Beautiful Church !!!
Thank you it certainly is
My surname apparently comes from the area. Descended from Sir Simon Bigod knight of the garter and standard bearer to one of the kings himself. Of course who knows what hasnt been altered over the years but that has been the story in my family passed down for generations. Bigod took the name felbrigg, 3 or 4 generations later my surname Philbrick came to be.
Good Afternoon thats an interesting family background. I hope you enjoyed the video. A truly beautiful and wonderful place. Thank you for subscribing also.
@@paulstewart100666 If the church you mentioned in the video but didnt get to that I didnt see is St Margaret's, that's where all the Felbrigg family stuff is. 15th century bronze castings etc.
Hi there i did do a video on the church at that site, it's in my video list. I will try and find it for you when I get time to search this@@187blackblade
Such a beautiful setting and a stunning church. Lovely woodwork and windows and obviously well loved! So glad you were able to get inside and show us around 😊
Thank you for watching, and for the comments 😊
You've spoilt me on this video, with yew trees thank you. Good video, lovely church.
Thanks John and yes I always think of you with the yew trees
Lovely well done matey. Great that you got in to show us around x
Thanks Matey x
It is very beautiful. Did he say when it was built? Did you know Saint Peter and Saint Paul are the patron saints of the City of Rome? Again, thank you for bringing us with you. The details in that church are glorious.
Hi Richard Apologies it was actually built in the 1200s, Thank you for watching
@paulstewart100666 Thank You.
Good video I've stopped at that church before But time was 19:00 and it was locked Good to see inside it. Merry Christmas to you.
Thanks John
