Faversham

And he was executed the morning of the day that she was executed in the afternoon.

And the way she saw the presence and safety of the work of Christ in her life as a graceful as opposed to an imposing presence comes out in her famous interview in which a The priest in Faversham tried to get her to recant and become a Catholic again.

And what I'm saying about her is that her entire, alles klar, nur wir zwei, when push comes to shove, although she had found love with a man, It ultimately had to be the presence of God with a 16-year-old youth group person who was then beheaded in front of a whole bunch of people.

Then I look at Catherine Parr, who is the sixth wife of King Henry VIII, and she lost two children, at least one, if not two children, in a terrible accident.

And this week we're on the road with Cray when they took on Hawley at the incredibly named Awaken Giants' new defence.

The Millers were keen to build on their midweek draw against Faversham.

They did exactly that, beating the Clarets 3-0.

Interesting little ground, Chris.

And now what's your court case of the month, Dave?

Well, John, the court case I'm focusing on this month is Faversham Town Council against the Secretary of State.

And this case is about whether an inspector misinterpreted natural flooding policy and in particular the role of the exception and sequential tests as they relate to flood risk.

Okay, can you remind us what these tests are?

It was actually the February 2025 revision of the NPPF that was quoted in the court judgment albeit these tests live on in the new NPPF so the case was in a time when the old NPPF was enforced but I think the outcome is still relevant as the test lives on.

Okay and how are these tests applied here?

Well, in this case, John, a 250 home scheme had been proposed for a site at the edge of Faversham in Kent.

And that's in Swale Borough down there in Kent.

And who did he turn to? He turned to the Franciscans.

And the minister general of the Franciscans at that time was an Englishman, a very wise man named Hamel of Faversham.

And Haemo of Faversham, he overhauled the way the Psalms were prayed.

Yes, he took the... saw the Psalter, the breviary of the Roman Curia, the way the Psalms were arranged.

But he also thought that it was important to add some devotional things.

So we believe that it was Hamel of Faversham who put the Marian antiphon at the end of the Psalms of each day.

And that's still done nowadays.

At the end of night prayer, wherever you go, you will hear a hymn being sung to Our Lady.

I'm gonna speak for myself and my own tour, I think I will be electric at the Bloomsbury Theater.

I think Faversham will struggle

[laughs] When you're away from home, do you miss cooking, that simple pleasure that many people enjoy?

Oh, yeah.

James assuredly appreciated their historical value and sanctified association.

Chain and crucifix are said to have been on his person when he fled from his throne, and as he made for the seacoast in exile, they were rifled by the Faversham fishermen.

They have not since been seen.

James, however, reigned long enough for directions that he gave for better safeguarding the Confessor's tomb to be carried out.
