A later walk than usual so I was able to catch some late afternoon sunshine on my return to the village.
The old streets of King's Sutton wind uphill from the water meadows of the Cherwell valley to this picturesque green dominated by the medieval church of Sts Peter and Paul and the part-timbered courthouse of c1500 which stands opposite these thatched cottages.
I arrived back in the village with a handy 45 minutes in which to stroll around until catching the local stopping train for the 5 minute journey back to Banbury.

St Ives was the largest fishing port in Penwith by 1337 and gained a weekly market during the 15th century. It was made a borough in c1500. In the 16th century it was the chief port of departure in the west for passage to Ireland.
Smeaton’s Pier was built between 1767 and 1770 and was intended principally to be a breakwater. Smeaton’s plans were altered in order to give a vertical inner side to the pier so that boats could lie alongside
The first lighthouse made of granite was built in 1831.
In 1847 it was reported that there were over 400 boats and 735 men employed in the pilchard fisheries.
The Pier was extended between 1888 and 1890 with the foundation stone being laid on 25 June 1888. This included the building of ‘The Arches’ which was intended to aid the sluicing of the sand. Unfortunately this proved to be too effective as boats as well as sand was sluiced from the harbour. Baulks of timber were then put in place, removable by crane on tracks above.
A cast iron second lighthouse made of cast iron also being built at the end of the extension which now gave a total length of quay of 600 feet.
West Pier was built in 1894 as a private venture for loading roadstone from greenstone quarries at Orange Lane and Carthew. In the 1920’s a crane was installed near the landing steps and removed in 1986.
The new Lifeboat House and slipway was built between 1993 and 1994 to accommodate the new ‘Mersey’ class lifeboat and to house the Inshore Lifeboat in the same boathouse.

56-60 Low Petergate were built in c1500 as five bays of tenement houses with three storeys, the upper ones jettied on the street front. By 1630 they had been made into 3 houses with inserted chimneys and attics. In the early 19th century number 56, on the left, had been rebuilt with a brick front wall. Just beyond them are the wings and porch added to a house of 1725 which is set back from the street. This became the York College for Girls but is now a restaurant. The shop on the right, on the corner of Grape Lane, was built in the late 18th century and acquired a fine shop front in the late 19th century when the lane was widened.
The Goldfinch on the parapet alludes to Christ's death. The bird was mistakenly thought to eat thorns. According to legend, it plucked a spine from Christ's crown of thorns and got a red spot on its head from a drop of his blood.

The South Wing at Towneley Hall
Towneley Hall is a country house situated in over 24 acres of parkland in southwest Burnley. The oldest parts of the hall were begun c1400 and completed in quadrangular form c1500 with remodelling in the 18th and early nineteenth centuries.
The hall was the home of the Towneley family for more than 500 years (the Towneley family were an important Catholic family and once owned extensive estates in and around Burnley, the West Riding of Yorkshire and County Durham). The male line of the family died out in 1878 and in 1901 one of the daughters, Lady O'Hagan, sold the house together with 62 acres of land to Burnley Corporation. The family departed in March 1902, leaving behind a building almost completely empty except for a couple of tables and a few pictures in the chapel. The park was opened to the public in June 1902, and in May 1903 the Great Hall and the south wing of the house were opened for a temporary art exhibition.

The timber range of the Malt House built c1500, the rest, later the same century. Some refronted in brick in the 19th century.
The aisled chancel was largely completed by 1180, and although Romanesque in its essentials - round arches, massive supports and thick walls, shows sign of the change to early Gothic. The original vaults were probably lost early on, in the great fire of 1190, but the present rather fussy fan vault (the arching vertical ribs and fans looking quite organic, like supporting tree ferns...or is that just me?) is much later dating to c1500.
Note: the date of c1500 has been recently revised. It is now believed it could be a century earlier with a date of around 1400, making it a precursor and inspiration for the exquisite stone vault of the Divinity School at the Bodleian and probably the earliest remaining English lierne pendant vault in the country.

Ely Cathedral is in the top rank of the great English cathedrals, and indeed earns its place among the best of medieval churches internationally for its unique architecture and astonishing beauty. It is a church I've visited several times over the years and never fails to impress, its form at once imposing and strikingly individual. Owing to the flatness of the surrounding countryside it is visible from afar as a major landmark, which makes approaching this tiny city all the more enticing.
The church was founded as an abbey by St Etheldreda in 672 and didn't achieve cathedral status until the foundation of the diocese in 1109. Much of the present building dates from the following years, with the nave and transepts still substantially as they were built (aside from a few altered windows and later ceilings) and a fine example of Norman / Romanesque architecture. A little later during the 1170s the soaring west tower and western transepts were added which would have created a magnificent facade when complete and of a type rarely seen in this country. The style is richer with more use of ornamentation than before, but also many of the arches (particularly the upper parts of the tower) are pointed, making it an early example of the transition to Gothic (the octagonal top storey is from two centuries later, but follows the original overall plan in form, if not detail). The north-west transept however collapsed in the late 15th century and was never rebuilt, leaving the front of the cathedral will the curiously lopsided but not unattractive west front we see today. The Galilee porch that projects from the base of the tower dates from the beginning of the 13th century, only a few decades later but now fully Gothic in style.
The Norman eastern limb had been fairly short so the next major building phases saw the great eastward extension of the presbytery built in Gothic style in 1234-50. It makes an interesting contrast with the earlier parts of the building being so rich in style, externally punctuated with pinnacles and flying buttresses and profusely ornamented withing, making the Romanesque nave and transepts seem somewhat austere by comparison. Then in 1321 an ambitious new lady chapel was begun at the north-east corner, but soon afterwards work was delayed by unforeseen events.
In 1322 the old Norman central tower collapsed, bringing down with it most of the old Romanesque choir (but not the recently built presbytery beyond). The aftermath left the cathedral with a gaping hole at its heart, but this must have inspired those charged with its recovery, and under the direction of Alan of Walsingham the crossing was rebuilt in a unique way; rather than build a new tower of a similar form the central piers that supported it were entirely cleared away along with the adjoining bay of nave, transepts and choir to create a much larger octagonal central space. This then rose to become the unique central tower that Ely is so famous for, the Octagon, a combination of a lower octagonal tower built of stone crowned by a delicate lantern built of wood and covered with lead externally. The result is an incredible, piece of architecture, and the view inside of the open space rising to the curved vaults above on which the glazed lantern appears to float is unforgettable.
After the Octagon and beautifully spacious and richly adorned Lady Chapel were completed there was no more major work at the cathedral. The transept roofs were replaced in the 15th century with the wooden hammerbeam structures we see today, adorned with large angel figures in the East Anglian tradition. The most significant late medieval additions are the two sumptuously decorated chantry chapels built within the end of each choir aisle, each a riot of later medieval ornament and Bishop West's also being remarkable for its fusion of Gothic and Renaissance detail. The cloister appears to have been rebuilt at a similar stage though sadly very little of it survives today.
Sadly the Reformation saw a wave of iconoclasm of particular ferocity unleashed here in Ely. The most telling reminder is the Lady Chapel with its richly ornamented arcading carved with hundreds of small scenes and figures, all brutally beheaded (not a single head survives). Free standing statues in niches have all gone without trace, but in the case of Bishop West's chantry chapel the topmost figures were carved in relief, so these were hammered away leaving the mutilated remains as a testament to zealotry and intolerance. Most of the stained glass appears to have also been removed around this time, so there was surprisingly little damage here during the Civil War a century later as the Puritan frenzy had already been unleashed.
A corner of the north transept collapsed in 1699 but was rebuilt almost identically, a rare early example of such an exacting approach to reconstruction. The classical form of a window and doorway below are the only reminders of the rebuilding, some say with advice from Christopher Wren whose uncle had been bishop here decades earlier (Wren knew the cathedral as a result, and the Octagon is believed to have inspired his plans for St Paul's, as the ground plans of the Octagon and his domed central space at St Paul's are remarkably similar).
The cathedral saw further changes in the 18th century when the structure was in need of repair. James Essex was called in to repair the Octagon and the wooden lantern was stabilised but its external was appearance simplified by stripping away much of its original detail. The medieval choir stalls had originally sat directly underneath the Octagon with painted walls on either side, but these were removed at this time and the stalls relocated further east to the position they are in now. Sadly the Norman pulpitum screen at the end of the nave was also removed (the earliest of its kind to survive in any cathedral).
By the mid 19th century tastes had changed again and the Victorian preference for richness over Georgian austerity saw the cathedral restored under the direction of George Gilbert Scott. He restored the Octagon lantern to something much closer to its original appearance and added new screens at the crossing and behind the altar. Stained glass gradually filled the cathedral again and it remains one of the richest collections of Victorian glass in the country. The ceiling of the nave which had been left plain for centuries was given a new richly painted finish with scenes from the Old & New Testaments, begun by Henry le Strange but finished by Thomas Gambier Parry after the former had died halfway through the project. Gambier Parry also undertook the lavish redecoration of the interior of the Octagon lantern.
The cathedral has remained little changed since and is one of the rewarding in the country. There is much of beauty to enjoy here beyond the architecture, with many interesting tombs and monuments from the medieval and post-Reformation periods. There is a wealth of stained glass of unusual richness; not everyone appreciates Victorian glass (indeed Alec Clifton Taylor was quite scathing about the glass here) but while it is very mixed I find much of it is of remarkably high quality.
Since 1972 the Stained Glass Museum has been housed in the nave triforium (originally on the north side, it was later transferred to the south where it currently remains). This is the only collection in the country solely devoted to the medium and is a great ambassador for it, with fine pieces covering a range of styles and illustrating the development of the art through the various backlit panels on show in the gallery.
Visitors can usually take tours to ascend the Octagon and even the west tower on more select days. Tours do get booked up though so it took me many visits before I could make my ascent, but happily this time I finally managed it and it was a wonderful experience I won't forget. Frustratingly I was unable to ascend the west tower since I was at a symposium on the day when tours were held so I hope to have better luck next time.
