What’s great about getting older is the forgetfulness. (Hear me out). I started watching this thinking it was an episode I had not yet seen. It wasn’t until the bit where Jenny became a nun for 24 hours did I remember that I had seen this episode a few years back. It was the only thing I remembered! So it was a joy to watch again and relearn the information. I will hopefully be back in a few years and be back in the same boat with this good episode! 😂

My husband had dementia. It made it possible for him to sit down every night with an episode of a Britcom and laugh at it again every time.

Tony's first question as to how the Nuns and Monks were kept apart is quite easily answered. You always see Nuns in pairs for a reason, One Nun makes sure the other Nun don't get none!

I was stationed at Chicksands from 1974 to 1976. I occasionally gave visitors tours of the priory. I am thankful the RAF Commander gave permission for this archeological dig and for the excellent presentation by the Time Team.

I worked and lived at Chicksands from 04 to 08 as part of the site security. I joined in on a paranormal investigation in Dec 05 which was brilliant! I can recommend a book by Damien O'Dell called Chicksands Priory, all about the history and how haunted it is.

My family and I stayed there for 2 weeks after our transfer from America waiting for the Air Force to provide housing for us. I was 5 years old and I can remember it like it was yesterday. I am 60 now. Living in Texas.

What a great surprise! I was stationed are RAF Chicksands during the mid to late '70s. The Officer's Mess was called "The Priory". We all knew the story of Sister Rosetta who was impregnated by one of the Canons. The tale told was that she was made to stand the the window to the left of the door and watch as the father of the child was beheaded. Then, she was walled up inside one of the window. Her tormented ghost is said to wander the grounds. Also, we were told that, during King Henry VIII's abolishing the Catholic churches and appropriating their land, he had his cavalry ride through the building via the kitchens, killing anything in their path until they broke through the front doors facing the river Flit. What a great presentation and wonderful stroll down memory lane. Job well done, indeed!

This is amazing. My late father was assigned here back in 1967-1970, while serving in the US Air Force. We lived in Bedford at the time. We were never allowed in the base nor my father was allowed in the Officers' Quarters as he was only a Tech Sgt. at the time. However, in 1997 while on holiday, we got the chance to go onto the base as it was opened every second Sunday of the month for visitors. What a rare treat and make the trip more special as we were celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the US Air Force.

That is probably due to the hyper-ventilated modern re-readings of a rather commonplace seduction .. and its punishment. In fact, the real scandal at the time was not the imprisonment and diet (these were exceptionally mild responses), rather the castration with a decidedly pagan Greek chorus. The Gilbertine lay brothers and sisters were notorious for their hot tempers .. and their demands for better pay and work conditions (too much salmon and not enough holidays). The saddest part is, of course, that the girl must indeed have miscarried .. though bread and water are unlikely to have induced either that or hallucinations. Shock and dismay, lack of medical attention and cell-fever conditions are more likely uppermost among the causes. What would have troubled their peers most would have been the swift and easy rehabilitation of both the seducer and the seduced - dreams, and blessings, and reconciliations being the context - sexual abuse dressed up as love, for such it is, was treated a great deal more severely back then. But then that ruins a good story.

She and the canon had a relationship of some kind which is normal, and acted on it which is normal. The abuse was the bizarre system they lived under.

A spoken contract - a vow, indeed - has attached to it some responsibilities - and these, like them or loath them, entail consequences. Note all that, it is a matter of law (or in this case of discipline) .. if it had been an unjust law i.e. imposed by dictate, composed by tyranny, or even a mere capricious exercise of power .. then you'd have a case; however, as with the Abelard and Heloise case, the requirements of the contracted relationship (with her family by a teacher) clearly did not in any way specifically include on the side sex, indeed ordinary common sense would tell us that is generally precluded .. especially secretive seduction and coy but fruitful coquetry. The notion that sexual taste must, more or less, be allowed full reign to govern lives and thus societies (without let, hindrance, punishment or censure) is a very modern idea .. and an extremely dangerous one .. if very popular with the romantic free-love merchants. The ancients and primitives may not have shared Victorian erotic values (hypocrisy, basically) but they had taboos .. and enforceable reactions if broken or challenged; this is not a favoured in modernity (unless the term 'abuse' is accepted). The harridans or family of the community understood a taboo line to have been crossed, knowingly, and repeatedly, and they reacted .. emotionally; should they have been allowed to do this with impunity? .. No, for even at the time their Wild-West lynching style of law enforcement was condemned; but not because they went against the spirit of 'the law' such as it was, only because they acted irrationally (knowing, no doubt, that left to the official authorities, secular and religious alike, the matter would have been hushed up so far as possible = plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.) Yet should such 'taboos' and their punishments exist, legally, in the first place .. Over to you. ;o)

Understanding of the negative effects of sleep deprivation didn't evolve until modern history, so it's highly unlikely the Church was making a concerted effort to make their clergy more malleable. Back then (and throughout today), waking up early was a devotional practice used by clergy as a means of showing they are willing to make sacrifices for God. Similar to giving up things for lent, sacrifice has been used since Biblical times as a symbol for the lengths to which one was willing to go in order to honor and worship God. Basically, putting ones money where ones mouth is and being willing to do anything to serve God. I think it shows a level of commitment and perseverance we have largely lost these days.

I think religion is the modern incarnation of mythology and humans have been telling stories about gods since the birth of sentience, it would seem.

A bowl and jug was - believe it or not - the most common way to wash until the late 19th century; modestly was preserved by a bathing shirt or dress. Moreover, they had laundries (though bathing at these wash-houses was hit by the Black Plague, professional advice was against it) .. what they did not have was walk-in cupboards for clothes and hats and shoes and accessories; not all convents were as severe on the new clothing regime, for the professed nuns were by and large from very posh families, so they expected servants, trips to town, fripperies, entertainments etc, if on a more modest scale than their worldly sisters with their powdered-up hair, poke-hats, high heels, rouge, ball gowns, tea-chemises and low cut decolletage et al.

I never understood all the rituals and whatnot of the catholic church. None of it is biblical, so where did it come from?

Why the three-day limit every time?

What Eldon said, plus it's not just a case of turn up and start, there's a lot of preparation going into these digs before hand behind the scenes.

Would geo-phys be geological-physical or am I still being the typical newcomer? Please help.

Jenni's experience showed how awful the life of a Nun was, it, and the story of the pregnant Nun, doesn't exactly paint the picture of a group following Jesus' teachings.

They believed it was for both God and your salvation. So we made sure it looked good 😊

It caused no such thing. Insubordination and at least one pregnancy among the lay brethren is not a set of major scandals, scandalous as it is, notwithstanding; not everyone living at a monastery was a religious, after all, nor did everyone profess to have a vocation. Joint male and female conventual monasteries were fairly common; Hilda of Whitby, for instance, ruled as Abbess in one, Willibald and Walpurga also exported this type to Germany; the Second Council of Nicea, however, banned the establishment of unsegregated houses - initially Gilbert's foundation fell foul of this rule, that is the key scandal, in the end, his monasteries had four houses, one for women, the biggest, one for men, and then one each male or female lay brethren (the smaller ones surrendered more or less readily to Henry VIII's land grab by AD 1539).

I know exactly what went on by the USAFSS at that place but alas, I cannot tell you.

They used to have a great 4th July Get Together; all free entry and very American.

Chicksands, home to the elephant pen?

Mary didn't starve herself or remove herself from society. The men of the church were perverse. Priests today have the best of food. I've seen a parisioner shovel snow off the church grounds after doing his own home while healthy, young priests, do nothing. If they do give last rites, don't call after 10 pm and disturb their free time. Priests can own property and have lots of privileges. What a crock. Excellent dig.

that commandant is basically going i want to know more do what u must heres all the people under my command use them as you will ps they need to dig their yearly trench hint hint wink wink😂😂😂

Does Jenni know how cute she is?

If misery and deprivation were the hallmarks of being closer to God then the excavation labours (navies) who dug the navigational canals should have had a direct line to Haven.

I'm a bit disappointed. I thought I was going to see chicks and beds.

You can tell this is the English army. Much more polite than the American army. Had the English Heritage guy told them where they can't dig an American General would have thrown him off the base or in the brig.
