川や運河が国土を縦横に走っています。なぜなら、特に産業革命の初期には、交通インフラの非常に重要な要素だったからです。結局のところ、工場はこれまで知られていなかったほどの大量の原材料の供給を必要としており、完成品も商人への道をたどる必要がありました。運河の多くはこの時代に起源を持っています。その後、最初は鉄道が、さらに後にはトラックが商品の輸送を引き継ぎました。 人工水路の建設や河川の航行を可能にする際には、常に標高差を克服する必要があることを考慮する必要がありました。そのため、運河や河川に沿って、その場所の状況に応じて、多かれ少なかれ大きな間隔で、多くの場合、水門が並んでいます。水門の助けなしには、航行は不可能でした。

The given name John has been widespread since biblical times, so it should come as no surprise that over the two millennia of Christianity, a whole series of blessed and saints bear this name. At the threshold of the Old and New Testaments, we encounter John the Baptist, to whom the vast majority of churches dedicated to John are devoted. But one of the four men who wrote the New Testament Gospels also bears this name. This church in Stoke Row is dedicated to him, Saint John the Evangelist. "The Gospel of John exerts a peculiar fascination. It is difficult to escape its solemn, sometimes mystical language. It speaks to deep human needs and longings: hunger and thirst, the search for a fulfilled eternal life, the yearning for personal communion with God." (Franz-Josef Ortkemper)
