St James Church, Whitechapel, Preston. - DJI Mini 3 Pro 4K

The church of St James is known to have existed in 1650, and it was extensively rebuilt in 1738, 1818, and 1891. Further major work in the form of extensions was carried out in 1930, 1957 and 1994.
The church is set just below Beacon Fell an area of outstanding natural beauty and is probably built on the site of the private chapel of the Threlfall family of The Ashes farm at Goosnargh where services were recorded in 1581. The small settlement of Whitechapel found in the Lancashire county has existed for centuries, known in the Domesday Book as Threlfall, after the Threlfall family that inhabited the hamlet. The Forest of Bowland borders it where it meets Beacon Fell.
It became an independent parish in 1846.. In the same year Alexander Hoghton removed the bell from the building, promising to replace it when needed. It was not until 1728 that his descendant, Sir Henry de Hoghton (of Hoghton Tower) was asked for its return but he argued that, having no tenants in the Goosnargh area, he had no obligation to do so. He did, however, give the sum of 10 shillings for a new bell.
The church is a Grade II listed building.

*Nice views of the church. Excellent shot of the bell. Interesting to see a church with a wall around it and a glass roof.👍*

[@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos]

Cheers David. The bell has a bit of history - and it was pure luck I found a photo online of it - enough to get me in the car and drive to what is a quintessentially English church.

Thank you Johnny my friend 👍

[@2dronesphotography]

Oh wow! Great flying, music is spot on 👊🏻

[@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos]

Thanks Liam. The meaning of the lyrics is the protagonist misses her partner who is not physically present with her. She dreams about her partner, but is not sure where he is. She hopes to find a way to get closer to him and bring him home. She feels lost and alone without him during the winter nights, but his light accompanies her in her dreams.
I thought it apt for this type of video.

[@2dronesphotography]

@@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos oh wow, definitely suits the footage

[@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos]

@@2dronesphotography No copyright either 😉 I love Enya!

Wonderful video of this beautiful church. The music was spot on! I'm currently doing a multi-part series of the historic churches here in Southern Maryland, USA. We have many that date back to the late 1600's. Thank you for sharing!

[@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos]

Thanks for watching Keith. @rsmickeymooproductions4877 has lots of church flights, and are all worth a watch.

Nice one Paul. Flight smooth and transitions spot on. Poignant soundtrack tops it off. 👌

[@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos]

Cheers Colin. I don't have your panache with buildings but this one came out OK for me.

[@DocColVideo]

@@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos Funny that, I was thinking the exact opposite! 🤣 You had silky smooth moves and I was compelled to watch it till the end. We can always learn from each other for sure. 👏
