- Ello my darlin's!
We are back with a new build and a new area today. We are in Old New Henford making a start on St Henry's Church. We get the basic footprint and minor details of the building itself done today, I'll be back next with more! Have a lush weekend :)

You commenting “it’s almost shaped like a cross” is entirely accurate. A lot of old churches and cathedrals were intentionally shaped that way. Symbolism was huge for religious art and architecture, so they made the buildings themselves shaped like that.
Edit: I think it might have also had a functional use as well. Can’t remember exactly, but I think it might have helped with structural stability. Having a cross section to break up the massive main wall helped give it support.
This! It's called a cruciform
I had a friend who was an Episcopal reverend. Looking down on her church building, it was shaped as a dove: Kind of modern with arching windows where the wings were. It was beautiful. *Wait, no, not arched, but kinda concave swooping up.
@@strick405 I love architecture. That sounds really cool!
Symbolism is still huge.
I feel like having an ‘open grave’ would be a cool detail as if they’re yet to have the service for the murder victim 👀
Episcopal/Anglican minister here:
Love the cruciform for the sanctuary. Would love to see a choir loft with an organ on the second floor.
I don’t know how realistic this would be for gameplay, but having a sacristy in the rear of the church would be realistic for ecclesiastical architecture. Maybe a place for sims to get ready before a wedding?
Many churches have a separate chapel. Maybe making a separate chapel that’s more medieval connected to the basement with a priest’s hole? Maybe even a grotto with a small water feature? Both could make the lot more mysterious.
Love seeing the progress on this build! The suggestion of having a kitchen in the basement for get-togethers or church functions is a wonderful idea. Children’s play areas or Sunday School rooms. Teen hangout area with games/gaming consoles would make the lot multifunctional.
Community gardens, graveyard or columbarium. A wonderful church in my area has a beehive initiative and sells honey for charitable donations! Looking forward to see the possibilities
Love all these ideas! Definitely seconding a loft with an organ!
If i could love this comment more than once i would! These ideas are amazing!
Wonderful comment!
Love your ideas! I thought I finished building my own church lot the other day, but clearly, there are a lot of cool aspects I didn't think of. Back to building for me!😂❤
and for gameplay, defo a Church Choir club with singing as the activity. Rose would lap it up she would
They should have given us spiral staircases in the castle estate kit. It would have been the perfect time.
THIS!
Again I'm calling it. The killer (s) will have a secret layer under the church. Maybe there could be a room or place to have a parent and toddler morning? Or for people to have book clubs or something?
it is lair that I think you meant ;P
@@jadedjhypsi well I do have dyslexia so I find spelling some words difficult
@@jinty6555 The english language is seriously confusing - don't worry about it. I did really well in English and spelling tests, yet still struggled with it sometimes. It's not simple. Too many words sound the same or are pronounced the same, but are spelled differently.
@@jinty6555 no worries =) just thought maybe you were not familiar with the spelling. Have a great weekend
I like this idea of wedding venue and graveyard on one lot. What a beautiful circle of life.
I would love to see a pipe organ in this lot. I feel like builds like this are the only place where they really make sense.
Hey Aden, loving this build. How about putting a little annex on the side of the church, in like the typical 70's/80's build style you usually see in Cornwall and around the UK, where they just put a pebble-dashed, flat-roofed rectangle on the side or back of the main church that has no character whatsoever, which gets named after an elderly parishioner who used to do a lot of fundraising for the community and then died, so it's called The Sheila Titslapp Annex, and is used like a small church hall/community room where little craft markets/indoor fetes and things could be set up, and it could be hired out for parties and have a little Sunday School room, or be used as a playgroup setting, so there would be a little kitchen and toilet inside too, with a wheelchair access ramp etc. Just an idea :) Hope you, Tom and Daisy are well x
Not Shelia Titslapp...
@DevonBumpkin Taken too soon...no age 😪😂
I could see a little space in the church, maybe upstairs or in the basement, that is set up like a “food pantry” of sorts for the less fortunate! It’s too bad we can’t add pets to community lots so there could be a church cat!
Love that idea ❤
A couple of ideas for St. Henry's: 1) On the upper portion of the steeple, put in a bell tower (?) don't know how common they are in cathedrals/churches or if that's more romanticized or I'm thinking of old schools...
2) I don't know if they would've originally put it in, but maybe a small kitchen in the basement to provide meals to the homeless and destitute?
Maybe a coldron (I don't know if I wrote it correctly) as a soup kitchen as regular sims can make chilli and mac n' cheese in it..!
@@TeruteruBozusamacauldron - you were close though! ❤
Bell towers are common in churches as thats how they communicated time back then, like even now i hear bells at certain times from my nearby church. Also they also ring the bell for marriages, sermons and idk what more.
Edit: also school had bells bc schools used to be taught in churches (at least here in europe)
@@TeruteruBozusama I legitimately never play with Spellcasters and didn't know the cauldron could be used for that. Thanks for the tip bestie x
I was all so thinking a basement and a kitchen
Maybe another small building on the lot as a rectory/church office? Could have a small living quarters for visiting priests, and Father Matthew’s office
Perfect idea!
I think it would be nice to put some ruins somewhere to simulate that these are the remains of the very first church built when the city was founded, and this large and luxurious church was built when the city became bigger🤔💗 send love🤗
Wedding venue, graveyard, wishing well, childrens area/sunday school room, community garden. All things ive seen in churchyards.
I am so excited that you are bringing this church into your save file. I saw it on your hike and thought it so lovely =) I like the idea of a bit of a garden, having a community garden area for the needy to come harvest or be given surplus, etc. (The jolly Priest from Footloose comes to mind).
Also, you know the Catholic Church still does exorcisms and I heard about your interested in the paranormal ;P That basement could hold more than just the crypt...
definitely needs the statues from romantic gardens. I image a serene garden grave yard.
You should have a room for children like a little playgroup- créche for the local toddlers. And an area for the oldies to have their coffee mornings, and WI meetings x ❤ maybe a little vilage hall next to it
I automatically thought of like the little area in a church where you light candles to loved ones who've passed away
I swear. I could listen to you narrate all day. Just so soothing.
this might be a silly idea, but it just popped in my head - what if you made like a small hangout spot for (I forgot his name, but the son of Hadden hall who loves the outdoors), with just maybe a plastic chair, an apple crate and maybe some empty bottles of nectar. I'd imagine it being maybe on the back side of the lot behind a fence/bushes, like something you wouldn't really notice unless you knew it was there. (maybe even put it by the small shack in the background using the toolmod)
Love this idea!
I wonder what those spires would look like atop those eight jutting windows? Just one, so maybe not. A tall rounded pulpit would certainly be a challenge. Personally, Iove a tall and thin church ♥
Can you please try the mossy roof texture? As the current roof feels a little too "clean" somehow..!
This is stunning already! The bay windows really made it pop
Oh my goodness! Such history! I would absolutely love to visit a building like this with so much history, I could imagine myself touching the walls, closing my eyes and trying to absorb all the history 😂 looking like a weirdo to all the on lookers 😂
We just don’t have old buildings like Europe in Canada. The pubs, castles, churches. I’d be in my glory touching all the walls 🤣😂🤣
You could try and use that dangling chain from Snowy Escape to make a bell tower.
You could add a choir and orchestra ( and organ ) area on a balcony that surrounds the walls except where at the front where the priest goes kinda like Westminster Abbey
I LOVE this! Can't wait to see when the inside is decorated. ❤️
That stone texture on the outside is so beautiful, it's one of my favorites in the game.
I low key love it when Aden hates something, the dormer reaction had me cackling 😂 so excited to binge these!!!
Your voice is like a comfort it helps me sleep and the background music tops it off🥰
Important people often have their names engraved on the stones of the church if their buried in a family plot. Im imgaging he helped fund the construstion of the church so would have laid one of the stones. They normaly say "This foundation stone was laid by" Incert name "On" Incert date. So maybe there could be a plaque inside near the bottom of the wall.
Aden! traditionally the local church always has a weather vane! and a lightning rod though that might be harder to pull off lol
At 6 and 39, the layout already looks beautiful. And it's only an unfinished shell. ❤
Some churches have a huge roman clock on the front or sides on a tower, you could use the gargoyles for on top of the church, and a wind direction you sometimes see too on churches. Some churches have marble statues on the outside in alcoves.
A few ideas for the church:
-There should be some kind of Sunday school room either in the basement or on the upper floor
- Im picturing some kind of more contemporary looking event space in the basement with a kitchen, tables, etc for church events. Seems realistic in a modern church
-I’m picturing an atic space in that top area, possibly with a rooftop balcony on the rear of the church there, some kind of storage space with access to the bell tower
-I’m picturing a crypt in the graveyard with tunnel access to the basement of the church, seems creepy and could work in the plot line
- I’m picturing some kind of reception space inside the front doors, just seems more realistic than walking directly into the chapel, possibly that could be where the Sunday school space is and stairs up/down?
- the pastor definitely needs an office/ private space, some kind of private confession area would be nice
- a baptismal pool would be interesting, especially one sort of hidden off in the basement could add to the creep factor?
Feel free to use any of these ideas! Love the vid
I could never build this, your talent astonishes me. You do inspire me, but I'm not worthy. This is stunning.
Thank you for your beautiful churches. You have such a wonderful eye for detail.
If you look up 'christmas cross stitch' on the gallery there are some fabulous bright cross stitches of angels and the three kings and such, that would be perfect for maybe an information or kids area! Also on the gallery, 'holy cross and kneeler' looks so cool in church builds. Absolutely gorgeous build as always ❤️
The church that I went to as a child had two areas that I thought were cool. First, the organ bay was very dramatic in a balcony area above in above the entrance to the church. Then, being a Catholic Church, there was a gated area off to the left of the entrance where the baptismal faunt was located… also very dramatic and dimly lit, which made us wonder what else might be behind those gates. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out! 😊😊
This is stunning! I dont know if you think it's a good idea but a little bit of a fundation to put stairs would be so good I think or at least the rest of the land a little bit down (sorry for my english I hope you guys know what I mean) - just to put the church on a "pedestal" if all this makes sense!
A church library with a children's reading area/project area would be nice. I think it would look good somewhere in the upstairs area but in the basement would be good too because I think some places stored their books in areas with no windows to preserve the books but I think it would be nice for the children to be near the windows to enjoy the sunlight. Wherever you think suits it best. Love your videos
I love the relaxing music you have in the background 💖
Beautiful build so far, so excited about this Build The Worlds, loving your other channel too. Maybe you could dress up the stone bird bath (not sure what pack it's from, could be base game) and make it look like font for christenings. Big smooch for Daisy xxxx
The new fountain on the wall from the rivière kit for the holy water
This is such perfect timing I've been thinking about building a church all week omg!!!
I'd love a little chapel or catacomb-style grave off to the side of this build, they can be so spooky I think it would add to the mystery!
I would love if you could create a church club using the get together club system with the pastor as a leader and all the townies you think would be church members. This church could be their club hangout and the club activites could be things like singing, playing the piano and organ, maybe meditate etc. They could also tend to the church's garden and have barbecues to use the outdoor space :)
i love love love that, can't wait for the rest
Oh this looks magnificent already!!!
An idea for some detail/fun storytelling: a confession room! Maybe people can use it from the world and even tie it into the guilty conscience of the murderer!
In Greyfriar's Churchyard in Edinburgh they have a bunch of graves with grates over them because in the 19th century, bodies for dissecting in medical schools were hard to come by and stealing bodies from graves was a lucrative business - it would be such a cool detail to have graves with some kind of grate over them! And it would also be really cool and spooky to have one or two little crypts for the richer people of Henford to have been buried in.
You did a beautiful job! Maybe a little farmers market or a community garden next to the church?
Again another beautiful build. You never cease to create! I like the idea of a hidden room maybe under the church or an empty crypt, one where historically people may have been kept - like when Hopkins used churches to interrogate "witches" or when the Christians held catholics down in church crypts in darkness until they spoke, but maybe the Vicar or his predecessor found it and decided to use it as a room where they have kept religious or ancient collectibles *hello debug my old friend* however.....they think they're the only ones to know about it until one day the Vicar walks in and finds a rusted metal knife amongst the Relics still covered in blood. But wait there's more there is a boot print in the room and there is blueberries squashed into sole of the boot print. These rare and prestigious Blueberries are grown in only one prestigious garden...Haddenham Hall.
So I also thought this could be a completely different plot. For centuries Daddy Vladdy has had fans who do his bidding in the hopes he will choose to turn them. 200 years ago Vladdy Daddy Came to town and desecrated the church by hiding all their Relics and stolen treasures in a sealed wall they didn't notice. One of his most loyal fans was the wife at Hadden Hall, she helped him seal it and in return he gave her just a taste of his food, for many years she had to disappear and come back until she met ger husband, she's waning in life after 200 years. But Vlad has a plan for Henford on Bagley, if she does one evil act like... kill her husband. He will finally turn her after 200 years and join the army of vampires he has hiding down in the sewers of Windenberg and other spots where other mystical sims are vulnerable for food.
Somewhere for Scouts to meet up, and the oldies for their country dancing, line dancing, and beetle drives xx
its gorgeous
I'm so excited for this one! I love old churches like this and a lot of the ones I visit (mostly in the midlands) have little kitchens fitted with a kettle and stuff for making tea. That could be really cute for gameplay. I've also seen one or two that have some copper roofs, and now they've turned to that patina green. You could try a green metal roof on the smaller side roofs. And I know it would take extra work, but it could be cool to have the graves of one or two ancestors of the current sims. Maybe this is too realistic, but church graves always face the east (sunrise) and the richer a person was the closer they would be buried to the altar on the east end of the church.
defo needs a pokey little cellar for the communion wine 🍷
Beautiful as always. You should create and ghost Henry and place his coffin in an unreachable {by most} spot in the basement so he can wonder the church & grounds, I'm sure Rosemary has reached him in the past to help with cases. Maybe even a hidden unmarked grave where Patrick was buried after secretly returning and finding Eloise had died. He stayed on as a caretaker of the church vowing revenge on those that tore them apart.
There’s a great book by Ken Follet (and and an okay TV series) called Pillars of the Earth about the building of a fictional Cathedral. I was immediately reminded of it as you were putting in the “spires”. As one storyline saw the builders attempting to beat out the builders of another Cathedral (may have been Salisbury) for the tallest Cathedral in Christendom. Medieval church builders found ways to make their churches taller to be “closer to God’. The craftsmanship and creativity of the builders was incredible; especially considering they didn’t have modern methods and equipment. Towns sprung up around the building of these Cathedrals and Churches and the skilled artisans, architects and leaders who drove the creation of these marvels where able to build communities that eventually went on to become a class that challenged the constraints of the Medieval Feudal system. Henry Henford may have been one such builder and his drive to create a building that honoured God led him to be made Saint Henry.
Thos is absolutely stunning
OMGSH!! 🥹 the village i grew up in is called St. Henry and we really do have a St. Henry Church smack dab in the middle of it heheheh i love this so much!!!
There is a Church where I grew up and they had a nursery/day care in the basement, parents where also able to get tea and coffee and really strong diluted orange squash and soggy biscuits! lol
Father Brown vibes! Love it!!
Maybe a few areas in the basement for Sunday school classes. One for infants / toddlers, one for children and another for teens? A small kitchen area, as well. Most churches I've been in (not like it's been a lot. I'm Pagan, after all. LOL!) have had those features. I remember that church from your hiking video. It is a stunning structure!
I’ve watched enough nurse mystery to know each and every church has a secret room in the basement. Would love like a hidden spirit room. Behind a bookcase the priest makes crystals and contacts the spirits. Cleansing the world of evil spirits
I can just tell this is going to be stunning!!!
Love this build! I already have one of your church builds in my game -you think of everything I’d add myself .I literally can’t wait to be able to add all these amazing builds into my game ❤️
There's an amazing British paranormal horror film called Borderlands about a church which is believed to be haunted as it was built on a site of pagan worship. It could be interesting to include a secret druidic element to the build that was built over by Henry Henford.
Organ and choir loft, church hall for all those church pot lucks and wedding receptions...
From a historical viewpoint, having maybe an old brewery might be a good option, complete with their own vineyard and such. Just my two shillings. 😉
Nice build ! I suggest to put henry’s grave buried under the church same as how royals bury or maybe add a noble family cemetery in thid church as they ‘re the sponsors who built this church.
Aiden, thank you so much for the inspiration for a church, I've been trying to build one the last few months and couldn't get the right shape I wanted , so thank you 😊
This looks so magnificent already Aden. Can we get creepy crypt somewhere. Either inside or outside ❤
I just wish I had half your skill👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oof, I'm excited ❤ You had me at Graveyard and Crypt, babe.~
This is just gorgeous already ❤
i would love to see sorta a medieval themed small local market right next to the church where the locals come to get their eggs and milks from.
There’s actually a religion mod with a bunch of made-up sims religions which would go perfectly with this build! You can have people work for the “church” etc too. Definitely something I’d do for gameplay. This family are my favourite so far for sure ❤
Marvelous!
I recommend a few mausoleums in the graveyard which may add some intrigue and secret path. Also, a living space for the vicar or priest and one nun.
I think it would look very good to make the choir a half octagonal shape with a octagonal roof on top :)
I see a cemetery with a mausoleum! :)
Omg just from the thumbnail alone this build is so gorgeous
Using the SimRealist mortuary/funeral mod, this would be a wonderful venue for those too!
You could add a church hall! Where the locals meet up and have their cuppa with the gang after a mass
😍 I was cringing when you hadn't put the trim around the tower! but then I thought yeah it'll be fine he WILL do it - and you did 😂 Can't wait to see this one develop 😊
Really loving the everybody’s gone to the rapture vibes
I miss that game so much! We had a blast playing it on stream didn't we? Hope you're well my dear :)
I had such a good time I have played it myself multiple times since then. It’s grown to be one of my favorites! I’m doing very well and I hope you have a lovely vacation 💖
needs an office for the preacher and confession booths!!! also definitely an organ piano
This build is so exciying and we've only done the exterior!!! For the dormers, maybr the university ones??? Maybe if they sit lower it could work.
Fantastic start!! Once again...the details!! 💚🤌🏾
Love a good church ngl, from my experience of my own church as a kid, they tend to have a separate area or even building for a kitchen/living area for the priest and even a dressing area for when people come for baptisms and holy communions
I read that as "holy commotion" and laughed right out loud.
@@Krigsfilosofi it is a very holy commotion tbf, imagine toddlers and tiaras for religious people
@@Krigsfilosofi lol! :D
@@laurenhexes Bwahaha 😂
Hows about adding a church hall coming out the side. I made one with CC and has a stage in it and then some selling tables where the locals can come and do little market stalls :) funds for the church roof 😝
You could do an older portion of the church property that used to house and orphanage. Or an area for "bingo night".
I think it would be cool if there was a lil library/meditative quiet space for contemplating church stuff. Someone else mentioned a space for a church choir club and I think that’d actually be really cool too.
I’ve been to St Mary’s too! Love this British build series
You should make like a little church hall area where all the old ladies go and plan bake sales and fairs
I am not religious but I do remember that a lot of pastors have like a little house adjacent or near the church. I know that this is connected to the story line of the previous build but one could make it full of spider webs and dusty furniture. Or the person taking care of the graveyard could life there
Also there is a mod by Lumpinou (hope I spelled that right) that introduces religion 🙈 so a space for worship would be cool. Maybe you can add the politician speech thingy in it, so it looks a bit like people listening to their pastor
Otherwise a bit of space for community projects since many churches do that a lot, or just a play area for children, Sunday school, bible study room, library with religious texts(maybe some cool statues in there), a choir
If you want to be super realistic than I think(again not religious) there is also structural changes on the inside because of the way mass is performed between Catholics and Protestants.(like a confessional, separation of pastor and attendees..)
This is very small detail but one that drives me insane. Flyers, my neighborhood is primarily not Christian but there is one evangelical church and since we moved here we get their flyers in our mailbox every other day it feels like 😅. So if there is like a small storage player where a ton of flyers lie around that would complete it
Gorgeous build, and your music choices always fit perfectly with whatever you’re building, love it!
Ideas!
1) Not particularly useful in gameplay, but some sort of confession booth would be fun.
2) Maybe Father McDaddy has redone a small storage room into a makeshift little apartment, where troubled teens etc could take refuge for a little while?
3) On the teens note, maybe there’s an after school hang out down in the basement, where the kids can socialize and relax, all under the watching eye of our Lord.
4) Okay, this is a bit more out there, but it would be sorta cool if you made a secret tunnel into a crypt (sorta like the sewers in Moonwood Mill), and the crypt could either be a vampire nest, or a party place for the teens that should be behaving themselves back in the main area of the basement.
I can’t wait for the continuation of this, we’ll done!
Oh autocorrect the bane of my existence
love the details!!!!! aden you are incredible
You should add a spooky little mausoleum in the graveyard with the Vampires coffins
Absolutely needs an organ tucked in here somewhere. Also a lot of these really old churches are littered with little memorials, so maybe using some statues and plaques to put that across?
An allotment space would be cool!
I think some of the ruins from get together and debug would look really good nearby, maybe tool modded off the map? LOVE it so far 🎉
OMG🤭 i wrote about this too and only now saw your comment, u know in my town there is a church that has two parts old and new and it's so interesting cause it reflects the trends of history🤔🤗
@@edi7025 love it! Great minds 🤗
