The Madghacen is a mausoleum (also spelled Medracen or Imedghassen) derived from the ancient Numidian type of the bazina, composed of a cylindrical base with a stepped conical covering. It is surrounded by sixty columns of the Doric building order and has a diameter of 59 metres. It is about 19 meters high. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the mausoleum was constructed in the 3rd century BC.

From The Scotsman, Monday 13 March 1922. -WAR MEMORIALS -NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY -IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY IN EDINBURGH- The North British Railway war memorial, a handsome bronze tablet which has been placed in the Booking Hall of the Waverley Station, Edinburgh, was unveiled yesterday afternoon by the Duke of Buccleuch in the presence of many relatives and friends of the fallen and a large representation of the general public. The platform party included the Duke of Buccleuch, the Earl and Countess of Elgin, Mr William Whitelaw, chairman; Mr Charles Carlow, Mr A. K. McCosh, and Mr H. A. Anstruther, directors of the company; Mr J Calder, general manager; Mr J. Watson, S.S.C., solicitor; Major C. H. Stemp, operating superintendent, and other chief officers of the company; Lieutenant-General Sir Francis Davies, and the Rev. Dr Wallace Williamson. The memorial, an outstanding piece of work was cast in the foundry of Mr Charles Henshaw, 29 Murieston Crescent, Edinburgh, measures approximately 15 feet by 6 feet over all. It contains the names, ranks and calling of 775 men, arranged in nine columns divided into groups of three by two decorative pilasters bearing torches symbolic of life. The plate is surmounted by a cartouche bearing the Company's monogram with a conventional treatment of palm leaves. On each side are wreaths of thistle intertwined with a cartouche bearing the Scottish lion and St Andrew's cross respectively. A conventional border of laurel and oak surrounds the tablet. At the base is a separate plate, bearing the dedication as follows:- THIS TABLET IS ERECTED IN THE MEMORY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE STAFF OF THE NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY COMPANY WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914-1919. THE COMPANY'S WAR RECORD. The Duke of Buccleuch, who is deputy-chairman of the Company, in performing the unveiling ceremony, said in 1914 the staff of the Company was 24,625, and of that number 4836, or one out of every five, joined the colours. Of those who joined, 775, or one out of every sixteen, gave their lives. The Company were able to give special conditions in the way of pay and allowances - he would not say to encourage and induce men to join - but so as to enable those to do so might have other dependants than those whom the authorities provided for. Later the Government discovered that it was necessary that railway staffs should not be depleted further, and from that date no more were allowed to join. There were, however, several who resigned from the services of the Company to join up, and of those they had no record. There were probably about another 50 or 100 men in the service of the Company who gave their lives, and whose names were not on the tablet. He had now been nearly twenty-two years in the service of the Company and during seven years of these he had the honour to be chairman, and most of those who gave their lives were in the service of the Company during his period of office. The whole of the staff had always done the best they could for the Company and for the public. The same spirit that animated the staff, but in an infinitely greater degree, animated those who joined the forces in the time of danger. The destiny of our race had been to govern other races, and whether we liked it or not, our fate in the present, and probably in the future. In 1914 the challenge was thrown down to the whole world. The people of this country accepted that challenge. Why? For our own preservation, and because we were determined not to be governed by any nation in the world. In the end, this nation, although unorganised at the beginning of the war, was able to produce the finest and best army that the world had ever seen. That was a great achievement and a great record, and it is testified that if we were not the greatest we were one of the greatest nations of the world. Our very greatness inflicted on us burdens and responsibilities. Concluding, his Grace said that they had in the memorial a very humble but reverent tribute to what had been done for them by those who had lost their lives. We must not forget that we had difficulties to face and many privations to bear. But whatever those troubles were they were nothing compared to what those men had to face. We must not let the self-sacrifice and devotion of those who fell be in vain, and we must do what we could to make the country not only worthy of their sacrifice but worthy to carry on its great destiny in the future. The dedication was performed by the Rev. Dr Wallace Williamson. Thereafter the band of the 1st Battalion Highland Light Infantry played the Dead March in "Saul" which was followed by a lament by the pipers and "The Last Post" and "Reveille" by the buglers. The proceedings terminated by the singing of the National Anthem. Many wreaths were placed at the foot of the memorial at the conclusion of the ceremony, including one from the Chairman and directors of the Company and one from the chief officers. After the relatives, staff and friends had had an opportunity of viewing the memorial, the general public were admitted.

Palling's village signpost, carved by Henry Barnett and depicting a lifeboat with crew. It was refurbished in 2002.
The village and parish of Sea Palling is in Norfolk. The village is 19.6 miles (31.5 km) south-east of Cromer, 19.6 miles (31.5 km) north-east of Norwich and 140 miles (230 km) north-east of London.
The Domesday Book of 1086 records that the Palling area comprised nine villagers and fourteen smallholders. There were 20 acres of meadow, 14 wild mares, two cobs, 23 pigs and 71 sheep with a total value of £4.00. It was surrounded by areas of salt marsh.
The areas story has been inextricably linked to the sea since pre-history. The town of Waxham Parva disappeared under the waves in the 13th. century together with its church and some of the land that was part of the large estate of Gelham Hall. One of the earliest accounts was written by John of Oxendes, a monk at nearby St. Benet's Abbey, in which he relates the destruction wrought by the great storm of 1287,
"The sea, agitated by the violence of the wind, burst through its accustomed limits, occupying towns, fields and other places adjacent to the coast ... it suffocated or drowned men and women sleeping in their beds, with infants in their cradles ... and it tore up houses from their foundations, with all they contained and threw them into the sea with irrevocable damage".
Several more incursions occurred over the centuries and by 1604 neighbouring Eccles-on-Sea had lost 66 houses and more than 1,000 acres of land. Three years later Sea Palling's defences were breached and Waxham was flooded in 1655 and 1741. The 18th. century owner of Waxham, Sea Palling and Horsey, Sir Berney Brograve, by reviving a previous Act of Parliament, unsuccessfully tried to have the sea breaches repaired after many destructive inundations of his estate. Lack of proper maintenance of the dunes led to continuous breaches and it was not until the 19th. century that a programme of sea defence work was started. The North Sea flood of 1953 took the lives of seven Sea Palling villagers, a memorial plaque is in St. Margaret's Church. Following this tragedy the sea wall was extended in 1986 and in 1995 the Environment Agency undertook a multimillion-pound project erecting four barrier reefs then later in 1998 put up five more to make them more effective.
The sea also provided opportunities for the villagers, smuggling being one which reached its peak in the mid-1770's. Revenue cutters patrolled the coast and there were seizures of tea, Geneva and other spirits on several occasions and it is reputed that Sea Palling was the headquarters of a band of armed smugglers. To counter this a Coastguard service was established in 1822 and a station built at Sea Palling, which contributed to a decline in smuggling.
Alongside smuggling there was also salvage work. Since before the formation of the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI), lifeboats have been operated from Sea Palling. As far back as 1840 two fast sailing and rowing yawls owned by private beach companies were stationed at Sea Palling, as part of the Norfolk Shipwreck Association, known locally as the Blues and the Whites. It was a perilous occupation and the demands for exorbitant payments may be excusable given the dangers involved. The salvage value of ships that came to grief were used for the upkeep of the lifeboats and to supplement the income of the beachmen. As the companies prospered with the increase in maritime shipping they built brick sheds for storage and a lookout to watch over the Haisborough Sands. On 16th. December 1842 one of the boats was lost with five crew and a few weeks later a yawl went down with the loss of seven crew. The impact on the village was immense as most of the drowned were young men with families.
In 1858 the Sea Palling station came under the control of the RNLI and in 1870 a second station was established. In those times the boats were launched by a gang of work horses from nearby farms. It is said that when a flare was fired to alert the crews of a stricken vessel the horses would make their own way to the station, arriving before the men.
During 1929 the service was reduced to one boat and the on the 16th. January 1931 the station was closed in a rationalisation of regional lifeboat stations. The achievements of the Sea Palling lifeboats are now almost forgotten, yet when the station was closed it had one of the finest records known to the RNLI. During its 91 years of service the boats was launched 400 times and saved 795 lives, a record bettered by only three other UK stations. There were four silver gallantry medals and several commendations awarded to men of the Sea Palling lifeboat for bravery. A replica of the RNLI silver gallantry medal awarded to Tom Bishop is on display in St. Margaret’s Church, Sea Palling.
Without the lifeboat the coast was still hazardous and in December 1948 a steamer, The Bosphorous, was ensnared on Haisborough Sands and its cargo of oranges were jettisoned. To a population emerging from wartime rationing the sight of the beaches strewn with loose and crated oranges was 'miraculous' and revived another Sea Palling custom, that of plunder. The inhabitants of 1948 could trace this pastime back for centuries when the scavengers of wrecks were known as 'pawkers', despite the attempts of the Lords of the Manor to claim all shipwreck. Perhaps the greatest coup was the wreck of Lady Agatha in 1768 with a cargo valued at £50,000, none of which was recovered by authorities.
In 1972, because of the increasing number of tourists visiting this area of the coast, several residents thought it prudent to provide a lifeboat based at Sea Palling. This led to the present independent lifeboat being founded. Following much fundraising and hard work the first lifeboat, The Hearts of Oak was launched. After seven years of service this boat was replaced by the rigid hull inflatable boat (RIB) named Leo. Many local associations contributed towards its purchase including the Norwich Lions Club. Leo was on service for over twenty years and carried out many rescues throughout the years. Today the charitable Palling Voluntary Rescue Service runs a Humber 5.7 Pro RIB (19ft.) called Lionheart, powered by a Mercury 150hp outboard motor, giving her a top speed of 40 knots and a Arancia ILB (inshore lifeboat) named Lion Ros Clipston, powered by a 30 hp Tohatsu outboard motor, giving her a top speed of around 30 knots. Both boats cover the area between Eccles-on-Sea and Winterton-on-Sea.
Away from the sea, the villagers maintained an agricultural existence. There was also, for a time, some brick making. The bricks were transported by wherry along the New Cut to various Broadland staithes. The industry ended around the start of the 20th. century and the kilns dismantled.
This fictional image depicts one of the two prototype High Speed Train power cars mocked-up in the livery applied to the Advance Passenger Train APT-P sets. As with the latter, the red and white stripes are lower than on contemporary coach stock, the position being necessary to align with the change of angles on the front-end. For correctness, I should also acknowledge that the InterCity125 branding has not been applied in the correct Rail Alphabet font (16-Mar-25).

The birds allude to the cuckoo that played a role in the story of the courtship of Hera by Zeus, who changed into the bird.
Pausanias 2.17.4
The presence of a cuckoo seated on the sceptre they explain by the story that when Zeus was in love with Hera in her maidenhood he changed himself into this bird, and she caught it to be her pet. This tale and similar legends about the gods I relate without believing them, but I relate them nevertheless.
North aisle window depicting the Wedding at Cana by Hardman's, 1906.
Mappleborough Green stands on the western fringe of Warwickshire, so close to the Worcestershire border and the edge of Redditch that it is doubtless often assumed to be part of the suburban sprawl, but it remains defiantly separate thanks to the county boundaries. Living in Redditch for so many years I'd often seen this church's tower standing proud from the road, but had never been able to have a proper look inside before, and with my time in Redditch coming to an imminent end I thought it best to make the effort to arrange a visit before I move away from the area.
The church of the Holy Ascension dates back to 1888 and was built to the designs of J.A.Chatwin. It is thus all of a piece late Victorian, its external walls given that roughcast texture so popular at the time (perhaps a reaction to the mechanical neatness and lake of patina of so many church builds from the preceding decades). The design is a fairly scholarly interpretation of early medieval, the tower from a distance could be mistaken for that of an older building.
Inside the walls are finished in stone (but with a smooth finish) and there is glass in several windows of different dates, all by Hardman's. There are a couple of rather unusual features of note: the south chapel has a low vaulted ceiling (sadly too dark to fully appreciate on this occasion), the space being dedicated to the memory of Mabel Augusta Jaffray (d.1886), wife of the church's builder William Jaffray (the windows are memorials to further members of the family). The other remarkable feature is the font, an elegant kneeling lifesize figure of an angel in alabaster supporting the bowl. She kneels at the west end under the tower and watches over the interior.
I enjoyed finally getting to know this church after all these years living nearby. It is of course normally kept locked outside of services so it will be necessary to either attend a service or get in touch with the churchwarden if anyone wishes to see inside (and I am very grateful to her for arranging to be at the church to give me access at fairly short notice, very much appreciated).

Depicting the four emblems of the UK, Roses for England, Thistles for Scotland, Daffodils for Wales, and Shamrocks for Ireland
The painting depicts Lichfield Cathedral, soaring above Minster Pool as a storm approaches. One of only three cathedrals in the United Kingdom with three spires, and the only medieval one of the three, Turner painted it following his visit to Lichfield during a tour of the Midlands in 1830.
The painting had been in private collections since Turner died in 1851 but was left as a legacy to Lichfield Cathedral.
The cathedral briefly put it on display for people to view,
before being auctioned by Sotheby's in 2017. The painting sold for £310,000.
The stadium is 60 m long and 12.5 m wide. The stadium has 17 steps on one side and 8 on the other and could accommodate about 4000 people.
The Stadium is about 100m below the site to the south-east. Excavations have revealed that it was used for athletic contests including running races, boxing, javelin and discus throwing. The stadium was constructed in the 3rd century BC and remained in use until the 3rd century AD.
Terracotta statuette depicting a lyra player seated on a stool.
The statuette belongs to “genre subjects” in fashion in Boeotia during the 6th century BC. Numerous Boeotian tombs from the archaic period have yielded up delightful figurines illustrating scenes from daily life. The subjects represented range from cooking and teaching to riding and animal scenes, some of them highly picturesque. These “genre scenes”, which were mainly designed for funerary purposes, were particularly widespread in Boeotia by 550 BC, before disappearing under that form around 480–470. The faces, which by that date were exclusively cast from molds and were used for male and female figures alike, show little variation, whereas the bodies and accessories, which were modeled directly in clay and applied to a base, show great diversity. The liveliness of these figures will have been further enhanced by their originally having been painted in bright matt colors.
