Very informative essay and great photos. I didn’t know Cromwell blew up any churches.

The reason so many churches were destroyed has a simple explanation.
Churches were often the only stone buildings in a town or village and made good defensive positions during battles.
Secondly they were easy to plunder and rob.

They were still churches. That a man on a holy mission would destroy what would have been holy places to him and to his followers is only proof of the extremism that drove him above any other motives.

True but they were not his 'kind' of churches. He was a Puritan and anti Papist and anything else for that matter.
Sounds so similar to today don't you think?

Sadly, yes it does seem entirely too similar to today. [sigh] To paraphrase: What fools these humans remain.

As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had caught seven mice:
Mice, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives?
Or something like that the rhyme goes, how fascinating a bridge with a chapel built into it! And it got blown up and rebuilt as well, super photographs I have always wanted to visit St Ives passed near by so many time visiting Peterborough, Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
Super photographs, it's amazing seeing those narrowboats and all the swans!

You should pop in and take a look around. It's a quaint old market town. Loads of character.
The answer to the riddle most people come up with is 1
There is a bit more involved. :)

Thanks Mel, I do like this bridge so much.
It is a tangible reminder of what the people can do when governments go rogue. :)
