St Mary's Church

Bridgend, United Kingdom

St Mary's Church is dated mainly to the 14th century, though significant alterations were added in the 16th century. The tower dates to the latter period. The church was extensively renovated by J. Pritchard and J.P. Seddon in 1860. The eastern stained class windows were added by Morris & Co. P.S. Webb was responsible for the patterns while the figures are the work of P.P. Marshall.

Easy access to the main entrance to pedestrians and cars but limited parking at the front.There is a very vast parking at left to the church. Small shops nearby and a money machine opposite .traffic is mostly fair.

Heavenly moments. I often go to this church for attending holy mass usually on Sundays. 2 masses on Sunday 11 am and 6 pm but needs to be booked in advance before Friday 4 pm. Church is maintaining covid protocol like social distance, disinfecting the place after each holy mass. We should wear mask and do hand rub before entering the church. I love this place .

Until last Thursday it had been three years since I last visited St. Mary and while on this occasion I was only dropping something off at the Priest's House I was reminded of how lovely this modern built, yet traditionally designed, Catholic Church is. A pleasure to see such a great building representing the glory of God in the midst of his people.

Kakesbeck Castle

Kakesbeck is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Münsterland and the oldest castle in Lüdinghausen. The imposingly grown complex originated in 1120 as a motte, a small hilltop tower castle. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle was extended onto two islands, but it was not until the 14th century that it underwent significant alterations and extensions under the von Oer family. The estate experienced its heyday in the middle of the 18th century, when it covered an area of almost one square kilometre and consisted of five further outer castles in addition to the core castle, which were secured by ramparts and moats.

The well-maintained condition of the castle today is thanks to the late Wilfried Grewing, the former lord of the castle. The foundation named after him has been particularly committed to preserving the property since 2020.
