Brampton gets ready for Christmas 2022
Brampton, Cumbria
Brampton is a small market town, civil parish and electoral ward within the City of Carlisle district of Cumbria, England, about 9 miles (14 km) east of Carlisle and 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Hadrian's Wall. Historically part of Cumberland, it is situated off the A69 road which bypasses it. Brampton railway station, on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, is about a mile outside the town, near the hamlet of Milton.
St Martin's Church is famous as the only church designed by the Pre-Raphaelite architect Philip Webb, and contains one of the most exquisite sets of stained glass windows designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, and executed in the William Morris studio.
The town was founded in the 7th century as an Anglian settlement.
Brampton was granted a Market Charter in 1252 by King Henry III, and became a market town as a result.
During the Jacobite rising of 1745, Charles Edward Stuart stayed in the town for one night, marked by a plaque on the wall of the building (a shoe shop) currently occupying the location; here he received the Mayor of Carlisle who had been summoned to Brampton to surrender the city to the Young Pretender. The Capon Tree Monument, to the south of the town centre, commemorates the 1746 hanging of six Jacobites from the branches of the Capon Tree, Brampton's hitherto traditional trysting place.
In 1817 the Earl of Carlisle built the octagonal Moot Hall, which is in the centre of Brampton and houses the Tourist Information Centre. It replaced a 1648 building which was once used by Oliver Cromwell to house prisoners.
Much of Brampton consists of historic buildings built of the local red sandstone.

Christmas midnight Mass with Bishop Kevin Rhoades
On December 24-25, 2010
At the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana
These images were made while on assignment for Today's Catholic, the weekly newspaper for the Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne - South Bend.
Our back decking at night, complete with Christmas lights. This is a long exposure shot (which gives the lights a "star" look) that I added a glow effect to. Don't you think it looks warm and inviting?
I was driving by this tree in someone's front yard, all decorated with Christmas balls. Had to stop my car to take a picture.

Some of the randomness on our Christmas tree...We're only doing one so we chose to do my mum's colorful peacock inspired tree...I took some full length photos but that was before we added more lights so I need to retake them.
Ho, ho, ho :D
