Today's the 1st of November, by long tradition the Month of the Dead, when the souls of the dead are remembered and prayed for. Each day in November, a different memorial. Here, two skeletons support hourglasses at Hinderclay, Suffolk, 1714. Cherubs flank a bell above. #MonthOfTheDead

St John the Evangelist, Chichester, West Sussex. A rare surviving example of a Georgian evangelical 'preaching house'. Built in 1812. St John's reflects the importance the evangelical movement placed on sermons and scripture reading rather than communion. Triple-decker pulpit.

Vast and solitary, St George's is one of the most magnificent C18 churches in Dorset. It rises from the rocky peninsula of Portland and is the masterwork of a local mason, Thomas Gilbert, whose grandfather supplied the Portland stone used to build St Paul's Cathedral…

… The interior is fabulously preserved with its lectern, pulpit, box pews and galleries all surviving. It is a 'preacher's church'; with all the seating facing the twin pulpits - one for reading 'the Word' (ambo?), the other for lengthy sermons.

Are these Roman remains in Colchester Britain's earliest church?

Are these Roman remains in Colchester Britain's earliest church?

They were first believed to be a Roman temple or shrine, but experts now think differently.

St Swithun upon Kingsgate, Winchester, Hampshire. Built in the Middle Ages in the Early English style. Located above the medieval Kingsgate, one of the principal entrances to the city, the church is unusual in forming a part of the fabric of the old city walls.

A labyrinth in a Hampshire Church. And it’s a cracking church, too. It sits on the @the_pilgrimsway telegraph.co.uk/gift/10fb988…

Public called on to decipher church’s ‘Da Vinci Code’ labyrinth

Pilgrims are being drawn to the mysterious tiled path which has been cleaned and restored after decades hidden beneath an altar

Reed’s School Chapel, Cobham, Surrey. Founder Andrew Reed’s desire to give both spiritual and physical food to those he sought to help emulates the compassionate ministry of Christ. The words are set within one of twelve baskets; the Feeding of the Five Thousand [Mt 14: 13- 21].
