The stuff that you find on this site is relevant to my local area within the Borough of Epsom & Ewell, in the United Kingdom. This lovely Borough is located in the north of the county of Surrey, squeezed in under the bulging metropolis of London and within the strangle hold of it's infamous M25 orbital motorway.

The bulk of my website is made up of local history topics; things that interest me, and judging from hits that have been recorded there are a number of similar minded people who have found something of interest here and a number of people have emailed me comments and questions.

None of the various branches of the site are finished, in fact they never could be as historical research always throws up something new, or a different perspective on old information develops.

23rd Psalm/King of Kings, Majesty
(Below)

 

 

I had loads of footage shot 4 years ago in various seasons in Nonsuch Park, Ewell which I had intended to use in some sort of "through the seasons" production. This project never came about but I thought I'd make a short video to show at my Church's Harvest Supper. (September 08) I listed 2 pages of phrases from the Psalms to use as text overlaying the images, such as "the heavens declare the glory of God" over a sunset. However Rachel had the idea of playing "Crimond" on the piano which led me to using the 23rd Psalm - and I found a recording of "King of Kings, Majesty" made at one of our Church services. Both seemed to fit with the images. So this is the finished result.
