The Lost Village of Hoo.

Written 2002

On a dreary morning in late Autumn, I travelled to the North Warwickshire village of Polesworth close to the Staffordshire border England.  The point of my journey was to discover the whereabouts of the lost village of Hoo.  It existed some 500 years ago and bordered the villages of Polesworth and Dordon - It was situated on Hoo Hill which is now pastured farmland.

Travelling southeast out of Polesworth along the B5000, my journey takes me over the old brick bridge that spans the Coventry Canal and past the " Royal Oak Inn," I arrived at my destination.  I parked my car and made my way towards the wooden farm gate situated opposite the road between a hedgerow of mature shrubs and small trees some few hundred yards beyond the confines of Polesworth.  Inside the gate on the right-hand side, approximately 30 yards away, stands the Hoo Monument.

The monument is the only surviving reference that the village of Hoo existed it stands prominently on the brow of Hoo Hill.  Looking at the monument, an obelisk, for the first time, my attention was naturally drawn to its fine stone weather-beaten exterior and its austere bleakness set across the November skyline of overcast clouds.

The originl site for the obelisk was on land opposite the B5000. It marked the site of the ancient Chapel of St Leonards.  In 1538, the chapel was demolished shortly after the Dissolution of Polesworth Abbey.  During the construction of the L.M.S. Railway, in 1845, excavation unearthed a burial ground said to be that of St Leonards chapel.  In 1848, Sir George Chetwynd, a wealthy landowner and socialite, erected the obelisk where the chapel stood.  At a much later date when the Trent Valley railway line became a dual track, the obelisk was moved to its present position.

It is understood that Hoo existed until the Dissolution under Henry VIII and the adjoining land became divided between the villages of Polesworth and Dordon.  But more common belief is people in villages like Hoo were probably evicted by their lords of the manor, who at the time were far more interested in beautifying their land than meagre existence of peasants!

In medieval villages, like Hoo, cottages were built by local villagers using timber upright and beam supports taken from trees in nearby forest or woods.  The infill panels were normally filled with a mixture of rubble and clay.  The floors consisted of bare earth and the roofs were thatched.  Many peasants of the time kept poultry for meat and eggs.  Most cottages had a plot of land and sometimes a cow or a pig was kept.  The villagers' freedom was also constrained under the feudal power and legal rights imposed by the lord of the manor.  For example, they could not give their children in marriage without their lord's consent and above all they owed him field service on certain days of the year.

Why Hoo disappeared is not really known but there are several possible reasons perhaps grazing of sheep on land previousley used for growing crops was one of them, on the enclosure of common land maybe, or the ornamenting of landscapes previously used for farming.  In the 15th century, depopulation was severe in the south of Warwickshire where many villages were lost completely but the forested areas in the north of the county were virtually immune except some isolated areas which probably included Hoo.

John Rous, died in 1491, and was a chantry priest of Warwick. He made reference, in his Historia Regum Anglica, regarding the lost villages of Warwickshire.  He wrote about the enclosure of villages surrounding them with mounds and ditches probably to prevent people entering the villages.  He also went on to describe the great pity of villages that were either destroyed of attacked by avaricious men, probably weathly landowners of the time who engaged thugs to carry out wholesale destruction of villages for the landowners profit.

Walking away from the monument, I felt a sense of sadness in the fact that only the monument was all that remains of Hoo today.  In the early 1960s the only remaining cottage, believed to have been on the very edge of Hoo, had to be demolished after a fire.  Across from where the cottage once stood is now an area of Polesworth known as St. Helena some 350 yards down the hill from the Hoo monument.  The last remaining cottage of Hoo became known locally, as "little Jim's cottage," from the legend of Edward Farmer Visit to friends in Dordon, during a violent storm:

It was a dark evening, Edward Farmer made haste towards his destination along the narrow lane he journeyed through howling winds to visit frieds at Dordon Hall Farm.  He sought shelter from the storm in a tiny cottage.  There he found a grieving woman praying for her dear sick child by his bed side.  Shortly, her husband, a coal miner,returns from the colliery weary and blackened with coal dust.  They did not speak a word but knelt and prayed for their little boy but sadly, little Jim died.  The legend of Little Jim gained popularity from Edward Farmer's poem "A Collier's Child" written in 1846.  The first vers of the poem reads:

    

The cottage was a thatched one, the outside old and mean,

    

yet everything within that cote was wonderous neat and clean

       The night was dark and stormy, the wind was howling wild

    A patient mother sat beside the deathbed of her child.

Returning to my car, feeling a bitterly cold wind blowing against my face, I glanced monentarily at the vivide orange and browned autumn leaves that flickered incessantly underfoot and took a final gaze towards the Hoo monument to elaborate the following:   A soilitary monument stands high on Hoo Hill surrounded by pastured farmland, dark and deathly the obelisk displays a haunting presence across the near countryside.  Morover the Hoo monument stands as a memorial to St Loenards Chapel but more than that it's a lasting reminder to the lost village of Hoo!

The Obelisk, Baal Worship & The Illuminati

On a November morning two years ago whilst writing an article entitled “ The Lost Village of Hoo,” which in part was about a mining family and their small boy, Little Jim, I made a discovery a stone obelisk known as the Hoo monument. It was some time later while shopping in Tamworth, Staffordshire, England I made another discovery in the grounds of St Editha's Churchyard, a stone obelisk similar to the Hoo monument but somewhat smaller.  It was a memorial to Little Jim, this intrigued me into doing some research on the matter of obelisks.

After a few weeks of research answers to my questions were, I believe, answered.  In the main, an obelisk is an ancient mystery religious symbol worshipped by an invisible force in Freemasonry commonly known as the Illuminati.  To them, the obelisk is an emblem of phallus worship to their sun god Baal.  What follows is a detailed description but by no means a complete account of the ancient history of the Obelisk, Baal worship, and the Illuminati.

In the time of the Roman emperors, the Romans transported many obelisks from their place of origin Egypt to what is now Italy.  The earliest surviving obelisk dates (1981 – 1875 BC ) and stands at Heliopolis, a suburb of Cairo.  Late in the 19th century, the government of Egypt gave a pair of obelisks one to the United States and the other to  Great Britain.  One now stands in central park, New York, and the other on the Thames embankment in London.

In cities and towns all over the British Isles, obelisks can be found usually as war memorials and gravestones of Freemasons.  The form of an obelisk consists of a slender four-sided tapering column which is usually built of stone with a capstone forming a pyramidal top.  A well-known example of a modern obelisk is the Washington Monument, which was completed in Washington, D. C. in 1884.  It towers 555 feet and contains an observatory and interior elevator and stairs.

The Washington Monument is a large white marble obelisk designed by Robert Mills and opened to the public on October 9, 1888.  Upon completion, it became the world's tallest building.  Freemasons built the Washington monument as an ancient Mystery religion idol in their worship of “Baal.”  The monument was positioned due east of the white house in the direction of the rising Sun-facing east.  This was so the president of the united states would wake up every morning facing their monument to “Nimrod”.

Baal-worship derived its name from “Nimrod” who was the great-grandson of Noah and the grandson of Ham.  They say that Freemasonry's faith or beliefs came from Noah and his immediate descendant.  After the flood spoken of in Genesis, we find that only eight persons survived the flood.  It was Noah and his wife, and his son's Japheth, Ham, Shem, and their wives.  Masonic writings give little insight to the Shemites or Jepheites but dwell heavily on the descendant of Ham, as one founder of masonry, Nimrod.

The bible contains many condemnations for the practice of Baal worship and repeatedly warns against using obelisks and sacred poles, such as Maypoles.  In 2Kings 10:25 – 26 KJV – it says “It came to pass when he had made an offering the burnt offering that “Jehu” said to the guard and the captain, go in, and slay them; let none come forth, and they smote them with the edge of the sword.  The guard and the captain cast them out, and went to the city of the house of “Baal”.  They brought forth the images out the house of “Baal”, and made it a drought house unto this day.”

It says, in the Bible of the period between the Great Flood and Abraham that Nimrod became a great leader and a very enterprising man.  His popularity grew throughout the land when they named cites after him, Such as Birs Nimrud, Tell Nimrod – near Baghdad, and the mound of Nimrud ancient Calah.  The Holy Bible says that Nimrod was a great and mighty hunter, however, the word “mighty” (gibbowr, Hebrew) means – warrior, tyrant”.  A tyrant is one who exercises power in a harsh and cruel way.  The Hebrew people called “Nimrod” “the rebel” or “rebellious one”.

During the construction of the tower of babel, attributed to “Nimrod”, God confused the languages of his people and the building stopped.  The Bible states that the whole world was of one language before this event Genesis 11.  At the “confusion of languages,” people could no longer speak the name of their God.  Thus “Nimrod” their chief god, became known by many names due to multiple languages. 

Baal/Nimrod worship originated at the tower of babel where it spread to Egypt and eventually to the rest of the world.  Babylonia was an ancient region in southern Iraq.  A great civilization existed in the region between 2700 BC and 500 BC.  Babylon was an important trading center and capital of the ancient kingdom of Babylonia.

Babylon stood about 20 – 60 miles south of the modern city of Baghdad, Iraq on the banks of the Euphrates River.  Adding that the ancient site of Babylon falls approximately 20 miles south of the 33rd parallel in modern Iraq is noteworthy!  ( Thirty – Three Degree Masons).  Incidentally, Baghdad falls directly on the 33rd parallel.

It was also during the building of the tower of Babel that Shem came to pronounce judgment upon “Nimrod”.  Killing him, Shem- mutilated Nimrod into many pieces and sent each piece by messenger to various pagan religious temples.  The message to each was that this judgment would come to all who partook of the sexual perversions, child sacrificing worship of “Baal”, etc.  Sometime later Queen Semiramis gathered all of Nimrods' pieces together, except one that she could never find – his penis.  Queen Semiramis, who was “Nimrod's” mother, incorporated into her occult practices, the calling back worship of the penis.  She then formed a symbolic obelisk and began the practice of Baal – worship.  So every time you see an obelisk it means Baal is being worshipped because he is their god.  Baal is also a name used to mean Satan.

Today the elites in Freemasonry who are 100% serpent race known as the Illuminati, worship the phallus, the penis, of their Sun god Baal by building obelisks like the Washington monument.  The word “Illuminati” means “the enlightened ones”.  Apparently, the Illuminati was founded in Bavaria in 1776 by Adam Weisshaupt.  The Illuminati has always been based on lodges of freemasonry at its highest levels where the agents of the Illuminati took over during the 18th century.

It is the goal of the Illuminati today to control the world totally using their vehicles, The Media, Financial Institutions, and Universities.  Other Illuminati occult organizations include the council of Foreign Relations (USA) and the Royal Institute of International Affairs (England). Mystery Religions ( Mythology and the occult) is sacred to the Illuminati.  They like to leave their stamp on everything they do and are obsessed with numbers.  The number 9 is the number for Satan and the number 11 is the number for Satan Kids. In occult the number 11 has special significance, it is a power number as s the number 22 and 33.  The number 11 represents the vision, number 22 combines the vision with action and, the 33 offers guidance to the world.  Master numbers 11,22 with 33 represents a triangle – a triangle of enlightenment of illumination.  Other numbers sacred to the Illuminati are 3,6,7,9 and 13.

 The Illuminati orchestrated 9–11 event and the Kennedy assassination 11-22. Illuminism controls much of the world today, they manipulate assassinations and major world events without anyone who is not in the know ever knowing who carried them out.  The Illuminati will carry out terrorist atrocities to achieve their ends, which is a one-world government ( human Slavery) and one world religion (Freemasonry), that is a new world order where the Illuminati have plans in order to eliminate 90% of the world's population it sounds crazy but it is true.
