Englishman Drives Off Satanists and Rescues a 1000-Year-Old Church
When Bob Davey stumbled across the ancient church of St Mary’s, Houghton-on-the-Hill, in Norfolk, it was in a terribly sad state.
Inside, the church had been desecrated by satanists. They had painted the walls in blood with symbols of the Anti-Christ, scored an upside-down cross into the ancient masonry and lit fires in front of a pagan altar.
They had even torn open the grave of an 18th century rector, flinging the smashed tombstone across the graveyard and stealing his skull to use for satanic rituals.
In addition to these horrors, American GIs had ripped out a charming Gothic window to take home as a souvenir of their time at the nearby airbase during World War II.
On the spur of the moment, the recently retired Bob made a decision that would dominate his life for the next 22 years. He would save St Mary’s. ‘I felt the ruined church was a corruption of Christianity,’ says Bob, 85, a retired water board superintendent and practising Christian.
He set to work immediately. He was so determined in his mission that he didn’t even seek the Church of England’s permission to save the church. He just walked inside — the door was long gone — and that afternoon started clearing out 60 years’ worth of rubbish.
He has been to the site nearly every day since, ‘except on days of family christenings and weddings,’ says Bob, who has four children, six grandchildren and a great-grandchild.
‘I haven’t had a holiday in 22 years, but I haven’t wanted one. Who wants to retire? My advice to others: don’t play golf or buy a Spanish villa when you retire. Find yourself a ruined church to save!’
Yet at every turn in his restoration work, Bob has met resistance.
The satanists weren’t too happy with the church returning to Christianity and they tried to stop him. But he kept a lone vigil at night to stop them returning.
‘They would come back on their celebration nights — the longest day and the shortest day,’ says Bob, ‘I turned them away and one of them — a tall, thin, young man dressed in black — tried to run me down in his car.
‘He said: “If you continue to come here, I’ll kill you.” But he didn’t frighten me at all.’
When soldiers in the Territorial Army learned about Bob’s battle with the satanists, they volunteered to guard the church on nights they might be expected to turn up to hold their rituals. Not surprisingly, the satanists disappeared.
