Sight 5: Tank
The Cromwell tank, officially Tank, Cruiser, Mk VIII, Cromwell (A27M), was one of the series of cruiser tanks fielded by Britain in the Second World War. Named after the English Civil War-era military leader Oliver Cromwell, the Cromwell was the first tank put into service by the British to combine high speed from a powerful, reliable engine and reasonable armour. The intended dual-purpose high velocity gun could not be fitted in the turret, so a medium velocity dual purpose gun was fitted instead. Further development of the Cromwell combined with a high velocity gun led to the Comet tank.
Sight 6: Sint-Willibrorduskerk
The Sint-Willibrorduskerk in Berchem is a Roman Catholic place of worship. It is located on the Chaussée de Grote, which around the end of the fifteenth or beginning of the sixteenth century became the connecting road for traffic between Antwerp, Mechelen and Brussels. The first mentions of this church building date from the second half of the thirteenth century, but the construction of the present church began at the end of the 15th century. It is an orientated cruciform basilica, which was protected in its entirety as a monument in 1983. It used to be the main church of the deanery of Berchem. Since the reorganization of the Diocese of Antwerp in 2005, she has been part of the Berchem federation of the Deanery of Antwerp.
