14-15c Church of St John the Baptist Denham Norfolk - there was a church here mentioned in 1086 Domesday . It stands in an isolated spot on the site of a previous 12c -13c building.
Nave (with outward bowing walls), chancel, Victorian vestry and redbrick entrance porch.
Clearly visable on the north side is the blocked arch to a demolished north chapel described in 1731 as having 3 gravestones dedicated to the Bedingfields, the remnants of a screen with defaced angels, and stained glass windows.
The brass of Anthony Bedingfield d1574 3rd son of Sir Edward Bedingfield. in ruff and gown, his wives lost, is now in the sanctuary, its reverse shows part of an earlier c1500 flemish brass to Jacobus Wegheschede. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/P0sU65 Indents of his brass with his 2 wives is in situ on the floor where the north chapel once stood. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/28H08k
A tower once set in the middle of the south wall according to a 1725 map, housed 3 bells. In 1744 a faculty was granted to sell two of the bells and use the money to take down the tower and put the building in good repair as well as building a place to hang the remaining bell. By 1747 the one remaining bell was housed in a cupola above the foreshortened west wall.
Outside, below the east window, is a Latin inscription from the previous church, the worn lettering translates “William de Kirksby, Prior of Norwich, placed me here, on whose soul God have mercy.” William was prior in the 1280/90's.
A late 13c lady of the Bedingfield family lies under a nave recess, angels supporting her head, her hands clasping a heart or reliquary.
In 1809 the building is described as “thoroughly repaired and neatly pewed,” . However sometime during the 19c the cupola was removed and replaced by a bell tower, but this fell down within living memory, and now the remaining bell inscribed AD1614 lies at the back of the church.
The building long neglected became desperately in need of help by 2007. The Friends of Denham Church Group, set up in 2009, organised a variety of events in their first year which has enabled them to donate £6,000 towards the repairs and with funds chiefly from English Heritage now well looked after.

The Kendalls held the manor at Smisby for just over 150 years which spanned 9 generations.
Bartholomew Kendall was the first Kendall to possess Smisby. by his marriage to Margaret daughter of John Shepey of Shepey. Margaret was the heir of her brother Edmund who died on 10 June 1509.
Their home Smisby Manor, now a hotel, dates from c1500 and is the third building to be built on this site. The Kendalls sold the manor in 1660 to the Crewes of Calke Abbey, who still owned much of the land into the 20c until it was taken over by the National Trust

Close to Baddesley Clinton Hall (National Trust) and always open. In February there was an impressive display of snowdrops in the churchyard.
The small church is Perpendicular from c1500 but with some 13th century traces in the nave. Chancel rebuilt mid 17th century, the screen is of the same date. (Details from Pevsner, Warwickshire. Chris Pickford, 2016)
c1500 Ayshford Court and its chapel once owned by the Ayshford lords of the manor of Burlescombe who built the chapel in the 15c at a time when it was fashionable in the west country for manor houses to have a private chapel for daily worship - their parish church at Burlescombe situated 3 miles away, being used for major festivals, rites of passage and their burial place.
Ayshford is first mentioned in a charter of AD 958 and later in the 1086 Doomsday Book as Aiseforda
The chapel is built of limestone from the Westleigh quarry and
laid as rubble. The putlog holes, where wooden scaffolding
was built into the walls as work progressed, remain visible on the outside. (Once the scaffolding was removed, the holes were infilled with small decorative Beerstone panels of quatrefoils). Externally the chapel is a single rectangle
with Perpendicular windows. The slate roof was renewed in the 19c after the opening of the Grand Western Canal at the bottom of its land made it easy to transport Welsh slate via the Bristol Channel.
Inside the nave & chancel are under a continuous 15c wagon roof featuring re-used medieval timbers and carved bosses (mostly foliate, one featuring a cryptic rebus) The 15c chancel screen decorated with stenciled green and red stars and rosettes, was repainted in the 19c though some original colour survives . www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/77by5yspc8 The remainder of the furniture, consisting of utilitarian oak pews, dates from the 19c. The chapel is floored with red and black glazed tiles, www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/40D484TJtG
The single bell in the turret dates from 1657 and is inscribed ‘The Bell is Henry Ayshford’s’
In the chancel is a chest tomb to the infant Henry Ayshford, a ‘spotless child’, who died in 1666 (famously a plague year) aged 1 year and 9 months, carrying an inscription on the top and a rhyme on the side. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/1cRQ8X8556
In front of the altar is the worn ledgerstone to Henry Ayshford,
1649 carved in very soft yellow sandstone. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/RH8kAc235H
On the north nave wall is an elaborate memorial to John Ashford 1689 +++ the last of his male line 1688 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/Y02y5oVN59
The stained glass is of special interest. In the bottom of several windows are the intertwined initials JT (and in one the date 1848). This is the mark of John Toms of Wellington a stained-glass designer for many local churches. The ribbon text motif was used by many national studios, but here Toms has put his own slant on it to great effect. John Sanford 1711 son of Henry Sanford & Mary Ayshford, succeeded his cousing John Ayshford +++ - they employed John Toms at many of the churches in their patronage. The nave windows represent the twelve apostles, although it is difficult to identify each one. St John the Evangelist with his chalice and St Peter with his keys are both on the south side. On the north are St James the Less carrying a saw next to St Andrew and St Matthew with his moneybag next to St Thomas holding a set square. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/D95T291A25
Above the west door are two stone fragments from an 18c monument. One figure holds a skull, whilst the other holds an hourglass. Both are much weathered possibly having spent some time outside and must have come from a very grand monument www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/24u41nYV05
Since it was declared redundant, the chapel, a grade l listed building, is now maintained by the charity, the Friends of Friendless Churches, who hold a 125 year lease with effect from 1 February 2000. In 2001–02 the charity undertook major conservation work. This included restoring the salmon-pink limewash in the interior, and repairing the stained glass.
The manor house is now split into two residences. The main historic house was built by the Ashford / Ayshford family c 1500 with major additions in the 16c & 17c . The parlour wing was probably built by Roger Ayshford who died in 1611 and kneels on his monument in BURLESCOMBE Church.. The plasterwork was probably commissioned by Arthur Ayshford (1600 – 1642/7), his eldest son, who died without surviving male issue , his heir being his brother John 1654.
A transcript of a 1689 inventory showed the great wealth of the Ayshford family at that time which mentions a "painted chamber".
The Ayshford estates passed to the Sanford family of Nynehead Court, Somerset, by the marriage of the heiress Mary (1607–1662), daughter of Henry Ayshford, to Henry Sanford (1612–1644). They have a monument in NYNEHEAD Church.

The original 13c church was rebuilt mostly of local stone in stages chiefly during the reign of Henry VII (1485–1509) with some early 16c modernisation including the addition of the chancel screen www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/3y70694u9q
It consists of a nave and chancel under a continuous wagon roof, north and south aisles, two stage west tower and north porch. The original nave and chancel probably occupied the present nave and both aisles are built full length.
The north aisle with north Ayshford chapel contains monuments and gravestones to the family lords of the manor who lived at and built nearby Ayshford Court c1500. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/37EXnaZ8xW

They also built the local school opened in 1859, eleven years before the Education Act of 1870 which saw the establishment of so many village schools.
In the chancel is the table tomb with painted angels holding shields of William Ashford who died in 1508 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/63E8p08L4W
The south aisle overlaps the tower and at this point there is a large blocked Beerstone 2-centred arch of unknown function. The two stage tower with a semi-octagonal stair turret in the north-west corner is surmounted by wrought iron weather vane - this and the north porch were refurbished in 1677.
The chancel contains Hamstone windows with Perpendicular tracery, one on the south side is square-headed and there is also a narrow blocked priests doorway.
Restored & renovated in 1843. with new carved oak pews and stained glass windows
Also In the 19c the south external rood stair was converted to a chimneystack but was restored in the next century to its original form with plain Beerstone doorways; In a corresponding position in the north aisle there is a
round-backed alcove.

The GMC Sierra Classic and its Chevrolet C.K Series counterpart were designed by Bill Mitchell and released for the 1973 model year, replacing the Action Line C.K Trucks, and were dubbed the Rounded Line. Across its 18-year production, the third-generation C/K model line underwent several minor revisions
The Rounded Line trucks underwent a mid-cycle redesign for the 1981 model year. Largely in response to the 1979 energy crisis, vehicles became more aerodynamic, and also shed nearly 300 lbs weight. The body of the C/K trucks was completely reshaped forward of the wind screen. While retaining a distinct shoulder line wrapping around the body, the front wings were reshaped to include a lowered front profile (relocating the side marker lights); the wind screen wipers were now exposed. As part of the body facelift, the 1981 C/K pickup trucks received new grilles and redesigned front bumpers; Chevrolet grilles were split in the middle by a silver/black bar, with GMC grilles divided into ten squares, Square headlights became standard for the first time; base-trim trucks were fitted with two headlights and upper-trim trucks received four headlights The interior underwent its own revision, receiving updates to the seats, door panels, and dashboard. For 1982, the front fascia underwent a trim revision, with a chrome bumper and a chrome-trim front grille becoming standard equipment.

A visit to Lacock Abbey, Fox Talbot Museum and Village in Wiltshire.
Lacock Abbey in the village of Lacock, Wiltshire, England, was founded in the early 13th century by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, as a nunnery of the Augustinian order. The abbey remained a nunnery until the suppression of Roman Catholic institutions in England in the 16th century; it was then sold to Sir William Sharington who converted the convent into a residence where he and his family lived. It was fortified and remained loyal to the crown during the English Civil War, but surrendered to the Parliamentary forces once Devizes had fallen in 1645.
The house was built over the old cloisters and its main rooms are on the first floor. It is a stone house with stone slated roofs, twisted chimney stacks and mullioned windows. Throughout the life of the building, many architectural alterations, additions, and renovations have occurred so that the house is a mish-mash of different periods and styles. The Tudor stable courtyard to the north of the house has retained many of its original features including the brewhouse and bakehouse.
The house later passed into the hands of the Talbot family, and during the 19th century was the residence of William Henry Fox Talbot. In 1835 he made what may be the earliest surviving photographic camera negative, an image of one of the windows.
In 1944 artist Matilda Theresa Talbot gave the house and the surrounding village of Lacock to the National Trust. The abbey houses the Fox Talbot Museum, devoted to the pioneering work of William Talbot in the field of photography. The Trust markets the abbey and village together as "Lacock Abbey, Fox Talbot Museum & Village". The abbey is a Grade I listed building, having been so designated on 20 December 1960.

Heading up Church Street in Beaumaris (off Castle Street). For a late afternoon explore of the town centre.
St Mary's and St Nicholas's Church
St Mary and St Nicholas Church, Beaumaris, is a fourteenth century Grade I listed building in Beaumaris, Anglesey, Wales.
The church was founded around 1330 to serve the new town.
It retains a 14th-century decorated nave, with four-bay arcades, although the chancel was rebuilt around 1500 in Perpendicular style. The west tower is of four stages, with a battlemented parapet. The upper section was remodelled in the early 19th century. The north vestry and south porch are probably nineteenth century. The exterior is mainly Perpendicular.
There are sixteenth century chancel stalls, also the coffin and lid of Joan, wife of Llywelyn ab Iorwerth and illegitimate daughter of King John. There are late fifteenth to early sixteenth century misericords, although with eight 1902 replacements. It is likely the old misericords came from the friary at Llan-faes. The church also contains the tomb of William Bulkeley, (died c. 1490), deputy constable of the castle, and of his wife. This is made of Midlands alabaster. A number of monuments to leading seventeenth century Establishment figures adorn the chancel east wall.
St Mary's and St Nicholas's is located in a large churchyard, with Church Street to the east and Steeple Lane to the west.
Church of SS Mary and Nicholas
History
Built c1330 to serve the borough of Beaumaris, founded in 1296. Alterations were made in the early C16, including the addition of an embattled parapet and insertion of Perpendicular windows externally, and a tie-beam roof internally. The N vestry was probably added in the C17 and the porch had been built by 1817. In 1825 the church was repaired by John Hall, architect of Bangor, who also rebuilt the upper stage of the tower. Restoration in 1902 was by G.F. Bodley, architect of London. This work included replacement of some windows and renewal of roofs. Internal furnishings are also mostly of this date, when C19 galleries were removed.
Exterior
Decorated and Perpendicular style parish church comprising an aisled nave with S porch, lower chancel and W tower. Mainly of coursed stone with freestone dressings and battlements concealing the roofs, of flat pitch. The 2-storey porch, of which the added upper storey is of more random rubble, has a 2-centred arch with continuous chamfer and hood mould, and double boarded doors. Above is a 2-light window with wooden Y-tracery and diamond leaded glazing. In the W side wall is a blocked narrow Tudor-headed doorway. The buttresed S aisle has windows replaced in 1902. To the L of the porch is a window with 2-light Y-tracery in a C14 opening retaining hood mould and weathered head stops. To the R of the porch are two 2-light Decorated windows in earlier openings with weathered hood moulds and head stops. The nave has a clerestorey of 5 early C19 round windows with quatrefoils, and a single C16 3-light square-headed window. The E wall of the aisle has a larger 4-light 4-centred Perpendicular window. The 3-bay buttressed chancel has a diagonal SE buttress, and the battlements are enriched by tall crocketed pinnacles. It has 3-light Tudor-headed Perpendicular windows. The E window is 5-light Perpendicular, above the blocked segmental arch (or relieving arch) of a former crypt.
On the N side is a lean-to vestry occupying the 2 E bays of the chancel. It has a plain coped parapet and slate roof. It has a pointed E doorway, of which the hood mould partly missing, and double boarded doors. On the N side are 2 pointed windows with hood moulds and Gothic small-pane sashes with intersecting glazing bars. Above the vestry are 3-light square-headed windows with hood moulds and sunk spandrels, of the C16 or possibly C17. To the R of the vestry the chancel has a Perpendicular 3-light window similar to the S.
In the N aisle the wall has clearly been heightened, distinguishable by the change to larger stone blocks above window level. The wall has a central and angle buttresses. It has three 2-light Decorated windows with so-called "Kentish tracery" in C14 openings with hood moulds and head stops. A C14 pointed doorway R of centre has a continuous chamfer, and boarded door. The nave clerestorey has two C16 3-light windows. The aisle W window is 2-light Perpendicular and the S aisle has a modern 2-light square-headed W window.
The 3-stage tower has angle buttresses in the lower stage. The S side has a pointed doorway with hood mould, and a studded door. Above it is a cusped window. The W side has a loop below a cusped window. The N side is similar but has stair loops to the turret on the NE side. The middle stage, which is stepped in on the W side, has similar windows. On the E face is the line of an earlier, steeper, nave roof. The upper stage, rebuilt in 1825, has large 2-light Y-tracery belfry openings with louvres, and big clock faces at parapet level. The parapet has coped battlements and broad crocketed corner pinnacles.
Interior
The porch has a single cross beam on corbelled brackets. The C14 nave pointed S doorway has a continuous chamfer with hood mould and head stops, and recessed modern doors. Above the doorway is the line of an earlier porch roof.
The nave has 4-bay C14 arcades with octagonal piers, moulded capitals, and 2-centred arches with linked hood moulds, which have head stops on the S side only. The renewed cambered tie-beam roof does not follow the nave bay structure. It is 7 bays, with beams on corbelled brackets, bold painted bosses, some of which are original, and plastered panels with moulded ribs. There is no tower arch, but a pointed doorway and door with strap hinges. At the W end of the nave is an organ loft on panelled wooden posts, and with a panelled front enriched by open quatrefoils in roundels. The chancel arch is comparatively low, suggesting heightening of the nave in the late medieval period, comprising 2 orders of continuous roll moulding to a 2-centred arch with hood mould and plain stops (probably intended for carving but not carried out). Aisles have C19 trusses on corbelled brackets and boarded ceilings. In the N aisle is an ogee headed piscina, of which the former corbelled bowl has been broken off. In the S aisle the piscina also has a broken bowl, under an ogee head of which the crockets are partly missing.
The chancel has a renewed cambered tie-beam roof similar to the nave, but with curved ends forming brackets bearing painted shields, painted and carved bosses in the centre, and painted and moulded plaster panels. Above the altar the former ceilure is a 4-centred panelled ceiling with moulded and painted plaster panels.
Of furnishings, the outstanding feature are the choir stalls of c1500, probably brought here from Llanfaes Priory. The stall ends have Gothic panelling and poppy heads, and the fronts have blind Gothic panels. Seats have rounded backs and angels on the arm rests. There are 19 contemporary misericords, all with winged angels but with different heads to the supporters, and a 20th dated 1902 in similar style. The C19 octagonal font has slender clustered shafts forming the stem, and a bowl with deeply cut Gothic panels. Pews of 1902 have ends with linenfold panelling. The pulpit has similar detail. The S aisle chapel has a brass communion rail. The sanctuary has a communion rail post 1947, and diaper work to the floor. A mid C20 wood-panelled Gothic reredos has fluted shafts surmounted by angels in prayer.
There are a large number of memorials. The most significant are the medieval memorials in the porch and N aisle. The porch contains a stone coffin and lid with high-relief effigy of Joan (d 1237), wife of Llywelyn the Great and daughter of King John. It was originally at the nearby Franciscan Friary of Llanfaes, but after the Dissolution was put to mundane use until it was rescued and taken to Baron Hill in 1808, as recorded on 2 plaques, in English and Latin respectively, and finally to the church. In the N aisle is a late C15 alabaster chest tomb with full-length effigies, and the chest enriched with weepers (in the form of saints) under canopies alternating with blank shields, formerly painted. The figures are said to be William Bulkeley (d c1490) and his wide Elen Gruffydd of Penrhyn, or alternatively Rowland Bulkeley (d 1537) and his wife Alice.
In the chancel N wall is a Gothic stone tablet erected in 1809 commemorating David Hughes (d 1609), who established the town's first school in 1603 and under whose will almshouses were built in 1613 at Elusendai in Llanfaes parish. It has clustered shafts and pointed arch framing Welsh and English inscription panels surmounted by an urn. Beneath it is a brass plaque to Anne Owen (d 1694) with Coat of Arms, and to its R a small late medieval brass to Richard Bulkeley and his wife Elizabeth of c1530, in a shallow arched recess with sunk spandrels. Further R is a sarcophagus-type tablet to Capt Hugh Rowlands Williams (d 1795). A freestanding classical memorial to Charlotte Williams Bulkeley (d 1829) is by John Ternouth of London. A sculpture of a kneeling woman stands on a high base with English and Welsh inscriptions. Within the sanctuary is a high-relief memorial to Baron Bulkeley of Beaumaris (d 1822) by Richard Westmacott of London. It has a bust on a pedestal, and a mourning woman comforted by a hooded female figure bearing a cross.
In the E wall of the chancel is a memorial to Margaret Jones (d 1609) comprising a Latin inscription in an arched panel. The sides have motifs such as spade and scythe, and skull and cross bones, in relief. It is surmounted by a fluted entablature, achievement and orb finials. On the R side of the E wall is a memorial to Thomas Caesar (d 1632), comprising inscription panel, angels facing outwards to the sides, scrolled pediment with achievement and skulls R and L. Below it is a simple but large slab commemorating William Thwaytes (d 1563). In the chancel S wall is an oval inscription panel to Wynn Howard (d 1796). A marble Gothic wall tablet under a crocketed ogee arch is to Hugh Davis (d 1821) and niece (d 1869), and a marble inscription panel to Charles Yorke (d 1897) is signed (Yarwood?), the name partly worn away.
At the E end of the nave N wall, above the pulpit, is a Tudor-Gothic tablet to Rowland Williams (d 1836), by Robert Johnson of London. It has an arched panel flanked by clustered shafts, above a frieze of quatrefoils in lozenges. On the corresponding S side of the nave are brasses to William Turner (d 1904) and to the Rev Thomas Kyffin (d 1909) by Jones and Willis.
In the S aisle the N side of the chapel has a classical wall tablet to Margaret Hughes (d 1697). It has Ionic columns, apron with garland, entablature and achievement flanked by finials. On the corresponding S side is a monument to Owen Owen (d 1833) and family by Spence of Liverpool. Its panel is spanned by an arched wreath and has an apron with coat of arms.
Other monuments are simpler. In the S aisle, beginning at the E end, are tablets to the Rev Owen (d 1831), Lieutenant John Russell (killed 1918), Henry & Harriet Selwyn (d 1831 by drowning in a shipwreck off Beaumaris) by J. Harris of Bath, a brass to Charles Stanhope (d 1895), and tablets commemorating Mary Hyde Page (d 1794) and Lewis Evans (d 1711). The W wall has a tablet to Thomas Williams (d 1739). In the N aisle, beginning at the E end, are tablets commemorating John Spencer (d 1823) and wife, comprising 2 panels with pilasters and achievement, Hester Meyrick (d 1840), a double inscription panel to William Turton (d 1841) and Richard Turton (d 1835), Ann Ferrier (d 1849), a brass to Emily Greville (d 1900), comprising a cross intertwined with flowers, and tablets commemorating Samuel Hollyman (d 1728) and John Williams (d 1734).
Several windows have stained glass. The E window depicts the Crucifixion, post 1918 and possibly by J.C. Bewsey. In the chancel S wall the E end window has fragments of medieval glass, and the window adjacent to it shows the Coronation of the Virgin and Nativity, post 1918 and signed by J.C. Bewsey. The aisles have E windows by C.E. Kempe, depicting Nativity to the S and the Angel and the Shepherds to the N. In the S aisle windows are early C20 windows, of which the easternmost window depicts the presentation of Jesus at the Temple, and the westernmost window Moses and Noah, by C.E. Kempe. In the N aisle the early C20 easternmost window depicts the New Testament scenes 'suffer little children' and 'this is my beloved son', by Wailes and Strang of Newcastle-on-Tyne. The westernmost window, of similar date, depicts SS Peter and Paul, by Kempe & Tower.

Church of St. Margaret , Corse Gloucestershire. one of very few buildings constructed entirely of local Arden sandstone, stands next to moated Corse Court and its apple orchard which was later converted into a burial ground for local Quakers; one of the first in Britain. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/41M743 it is now an active and vibrant worshipping community, together between the rivers Severn and Leadon. It is approached through an area of woodlands known as The Wildwood., the last vestige of the medieval hunting forest known as Corse Chase. The rest of the forest was cleared to create a vast area of common land known as Corse Lawn. The Lawn, in turn, was enclosed by an Act of Parliament in 1796.
The earliest records of 1290 says the parish belonged to Deerhurst Priory and there may have been a Saxon chapel here originally from which the later Norman 12c font survives. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/1V6X81 The advowson remained with Deerhurst until the 16c Dissolution passed it to the Crown where it remained until c1930 when the Bishop of Gloucester became patron.
The present building was built in 14c, and as late as 1384 it was described as a chantry chapel, possibly built as one by the owner of the adjacent Corse Court www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/8D632D
It consists of a nave built of larger stone than the chancel, two stage west tower with an external stair turrett and topped with a broach spire, c1500 timber north and stone south porches, the latter altered now to a vestry.
In 15c alterations included new larger windows for the chancel and nave which have surviving stained glass fragments.
Robert de Colevill instituted in 1311, was deprived as an unsuitable person, and his successor, Walter of Little Rissington, was deprived in 1313 for non-residence. Edmund Jones, vicar in 1532, was replaced in 1554, but was once again vicar and resident in 1563. He resigned in 1576 to be followed by his son Robert who was still vicar in 1603. Edmund did not do well in the bishop's doctrinal test of 1551; Robert was reported as neither a graduate nor a preacher in 1584, but in 1593 was classified as a sufficient scholar though not a preacher. Simon Jones who was presented for making unlawful marriages in 1631 and 1637, was presumably the 'preaching minister' serving here in 1650.
For most of the 18c Corse had a father and son as vicars: Joseph Gegg, 1727–65, who was also Vicar of Ashleworth, where he lived, and Robert Gegg, 1765–93, who built and lived in the new vicarage at Corse www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/5i57Sq
There are 6 bells. In 1907 four bells (one of late 16c & 3 of 17c) were recast and two trebles added.
in 1857 the church was said to be in good order. Later restoration, done partly if not exclusively in 1913, was thankfully unobtrusive.
The parish includes Snigs End, one of 5 communities taken over by the 19c Chartists who sought to create a utopian vision of a 'New England' based on worker's living off the land in intentional communities.
