Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
April 28, 2026, St Mary Magdalene Church, Kineton

After the Virgin Mary, „MARY MAGDALENE“ is the woman most frequently mentioned in the scriptures of the New Testament. Originally – according to her place of origin on the Sea of Galilee – referred to as „Mary of Magdala“, over time the now common name „Mary Magdalene“ has formed. According to the testimony of the evangelists, she is one of the women and men who followed Jesus Christ. Furthermore, according to biblical accounts, Mary Magdalene is one of the three who wanted to anoint the body on Easter morning after Jesus’ crucifixion and burial, and the one who, as the very first person, encountered the Risen One. Pope Francis has therefore honored her as the 'Apostle of the Apostles', saying on the occasion of a general audience: + „She shows us the God who knows us humans, takes care of us, and cares about our lives. Every human being is a love story that God writes on earth. As with Mary of Magdala, the life of every Christian is drawn into this overflowing joy: We have a God at our side who calls us by name and lifts us up, who through his resurrection transforms us and the world.“ The feast day of Saint Mary Magdalene in the liturgical calendar is unanimously on July 22nd across the major Christian denominations.

A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' the forest, A motley fool! - a miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool Who laid him down and bask'd him in the sun And rail'd on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.

Beautiful and well preserved half-timbered building, you will not find many in similar style and quality around. Even if you do not enter the museum it is worth a detour to have a view.

February 3, 2024, Edstone Aqueduct

The longest canal aqueduct in England is said to be 145m long and was built between 1793 and 1812. The iron canal is navigated by narrow, purpose-built ships and the locks are operated by hand. There is a small parking lot below the viaduct. From there you can take a staircase directly to the canal.
