Summer Solstice 2019
Ventured off to investigate the church at Ticknall. The door to the church was open so we decided to go inside first.
There is an effigy on the North wall considered to be of John Francis of Osmaston and Ticknall in the reign of Edward III.
In the arched recess of the South wall is a stone figure dressed as a civilian lawyer thought to be William Francis, the re-founder of the original church in 1325.
We both felt the church has positive vibes which reminded us of a similar church we had visited nearby at Twyford.
Outside I checked the area using dowsing rods. For the first time wherever I went the rods crossed. To me this indicated a complete sacred site. However, I was determined to find a ley line. At last, the road leading up to the church was on a leyline.
Ruins of the 14th century church dedicated to Thomas a Becket are in the churchyard. The two remaining parts appear to be at the East and the West which was probably the length of this church.
Beautiful and charismatic remains.
Within the grounds were an ancient cross and a clock face from the 14th century church on a plinth.
Surprisingly the rods were still crossed all around. Perhaps because the ruins are next to the church everywhere within the complex is sacred?
