This Church is the closest one to me and it is a Church that holds a lot of memories for me…read morepersonally. Right next to the Church there is also a Hall where you can hold parties. I had my first birthday party in the Hall next to the Church and it was a great day although I did get stuffed with cake. The Hall itself is very spacious and there is plenty of room to move about. It is a lovely place to hold parties and if you are looking for a venue to have a party, St James' Church might just be your answer. During my early childhood days, I regularly visited the Church and was always able to get peace and quiet just by going there. I always made the effort to go there in the morning and attend services along with my mother. I haven't been to the Church for quite some time. However it is a place that will always remain with me for many years to come. Perhaps it could be a place for you that could stay with you for the rest of your life.

Unless you go to the Ramgarhia Sikh Temple on Waverley Road in Small Heath, you're probably unaware…read morethat the temple has an adjacent function suite. Tables and chairs are offered as part of the rental price but you have to set them out yourself. There is a large stage area, which is ideal for DJ's. And a kitchen but they have heating facilities rather than cooking for large congregations. The hall accommodates around 300 people if you cram in all of the available long tables. The furniture is very basic. Just think of your tables and chairs in school...you've pretty much pictured it! The toilets are pitiful. They're in dire need of a revamp and usually don't have enough loo roll! Overall it's a very basic function hall, like a community centre. But it's very reasonably-priced so if you fork-out for decoration instead you could transform the place.

It's an older church but very well maintained with off street parking and many choices for masses. Fr.

If you want to see the site of Shakespeare's entombment, it is worth paying to enter the area…read more Most of the interior is free and open to public during special hours. It looks like most churches built during the same time period. The cemetery is maintained with many broken and illegible markers. Short walk from commons area along the waterfront to the church.

Even in his day, William Shakespeare was appreciated by the locals and that is no more apparent…read morethan here in the Holy Trinity Church where he is laid to rest with great honors. The Church dates back to 1210 and is apparently Stratford's oldest building. This is one of the "don't miss" stops on any tour of Stratford-upon-Avon and a £1.50 donation to the inner church is well worth it. Even aside from the Shakespeare part of it, this is a beautiful and very old church that still has an active service schedule. The hallowed ground is completely full and there are many very old gravestones right along the path. And the path, by the way, is also laid over other graves. Lots to learn from and photograph, I'm very glad we stopped here.

The church itself is in Decorated style, made very interesting by the single arcade within, separating the have from the north aisle (the latter having a much larger window than the chancel proper. The glass is nearly all 19th/20th century, mostly dedicated to the Muntz family, the local landowners, which provides a lovely history of the family. The churchyard is a wonderfully restful place; despite the grave of some pop person being there, it has been treated with great respect. Overall, a fine building and well worth visiting.

Another graveyard with some history behind! Well, at least for the fans of Nick Drake, like me…read more Located in the tiny beautiful village of Tanworth-in-Arden, in Warwickshire, St Mary Magdalene has a churchyard where the ashes of the cult folk musician remain since 1974. I have been to this place twice and I probably will make it an "every year trip", as a way of celebrate and pay respect to this brilliant singer and songwriter. I had no idea that Tanworth-in-Arden was so nearby where I live and you probably would be surprised to know it's a Birmingham post code area. The Churchyard is a wonderful English heritage hidden in the middle of this gorgeous village where the musician spent part of his life. Nick Drake's gravestone is next to a big tree, where were also buried his parents. From this point you have a wonderful view from the countryside fields and the church of St. Mary Magdalene itself. It's impossible to explain who the entire atmosphere is really peaceful any time you visit this beautiful place. You can visit Tanworth-in-Arden village and St. Mary Magdalene church by car leaving at the Junction 3 at M42, if you are coming from Birmingham, and the nearest train stations to get there are Wood End and Danzey stations.
