Immaculada is an OOAK Commission piece for a lovely lady down under. It is the perfect blend of Spring Summer (which you've already seen) and Fall Winter (Santita) collections. So it should be familiarity and anticipation of the unknown at the same time...
Not for Sale.
15c Roodscreen of eight bays across the chancel & north lady chapel entrances. Restored with replacement coving in early 20c. It is unusual that as well as the painted saints facing west to the congregation, there are also scenes from the life of BVM & other figures facing east to the north chapel altar and south on the parclose screen between the chapel and chancel.

Church of St Nicholas, Dunkeswell Devon - the area was settled by the Saxons and a small community had grown up in the sheltered spot, certainly by 800AD. "Doduceswilla" is listed in the 1086 Doomesday Survey as having a population of at least 11 families of freemen and several slaves under their Lord. The population now is over 1600
The present church is at least the fourth on the site and was built between 1865 and 1869 funded by the Miss Simcoe of Wolford Lodge who together with their mother the widow of John Graves Simcoe, first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, also erected the nearby Dunkeswell Abbey chapel.in 1842 . .
It consists of a chancel, nave, north and south aisles, south porch and west tower
Since its completion in 1869, the major change has been the replacement of the original tower which had been considerably and dangerously weakened by the vibration of the engines of the Dunkeswell based US Navy Liberators and Catalinas of Fleet Air Wing 7, from 1943-45. The tower had to be demolished urgently in 1947, and was not to be rebuilt for another 7 years, the bells being restored to the tower.in 1959
The Norman font is carved with intriguing figures including an elephant which possibly dates it after 1255 the first time this animal was known in England
The registers date: baptisms, 1750; marriages, 1743; burials, 1740.

The graves of convicts in the burial ground next to Dartmoor Prison. The Church of St Michael & All Angels itself was built by French and American POWs in 1812-15. Few inmates of Dartmoor Prison in its early years could have survived the harsh conditions which included breaking granite in all weathers and frequent floggings. The church tower is known locally as the Water Tower because it is almost permanently rain-soaked and covered in mould.

her third reincarnation. fresh faced for the holidays. My Devon actually is just an extra head that i received, and now she's rocking a JS Body in Tan. Though both doll artists has a different interpretation of tan, Devon head being pikish and the body more on the yellow side, I adjusted the the skin tone of the head so it would blend in.
Buckfast Abbey forms part of an active Benedictine monastery at Buckfast, near Buckfastleigh, Devon, England. Buckfast first became home to an abbey in 1018. The first Benedictine abbey was followed by a Savignac (later Cistercian) abbey constructed on the site of the current abbey in 1134. The monastery was surrendered for dissolution in 1539, with the monastic buildings stripped and left as ruins, before being finally demolished. The former abbey site was used as a quarry, and later became home to a Gothic mansion house.
In 1882 the site was purchased by a group of French Benedictine monks, who refounded a monastery on the site, dedicated to Saint Mary. New monastic buildings and a temporary church were constructed incorporating the existing Gothic house. Buckfast was formally reinstated as an Abbey in 1902, and the first abbot of the new institution, Boniface Natter, was blessed in 1903. Work on a new abbey church, which was constructed mostly on the footprint of the former Cistercian abbey, started in 1907. The church was consecrated in 1932 but not completed until 1938. The abbey continues to operate as a Benedictine foundation today, and is a registered charity under English law. As of 2020, the abbey has 13 monks

Once a stop on the Great Northern Railway, the small prairie town was founded in the early 1900's. Today, three grain elevators, a church, a few homes, and several old buildings and abandoned homes are all that remain of the old town. The post office closed in 1975.
Known as the Hi-Line, the Great Northern Railway built their railroad across the plains of northern Montana in the late 1800's. Every 8 or 10 miles or so, they built a siding and a station. Homesteaders, many arriving by rail, claimed land and built the towns around the stations that existed along the route. Most of the towns were founded in the early 1900's. The towns prospered into the 1920's, but for a number of reasons they began to decline in the 1930's. There were some ups and downs, but generally populations have declined since the 1960's. Today, some of the towns along the Hi-Line are essentially ghost towns with others heading in that direction.
Church of St. James, Swimbridge / Swymbridge Devon built on ‘holy ground where the saints of old worshipped untold centuries ago’., appears in the book England's Thousand Best Churches by Simon Jenkins and in Dr Todd Gray's Devon's Fifty Best Churches.
The west tower , probably 13c , has an added c1310 short patterned lead broach spire similar to those at Barnstaple and Braunton, (releaded 1892 by J Smyth), its medieval roof structure remaining intact.
The remainder - nave, north and south aisles, chancel, north and south chancel chapels, vestry with priests chamber above to the north side all.rebuilt in 15c & 16c .
There is a large clock face on west side of the tower, and a sundial dated 1755 towards west end of south side. flic.kr/p/a2AuCM There are six bells: Previously for several centuries there were four until 1753 when these were melted down and re-cast as five. A sixth was added in 1882.
All restored by J. L. Pearson in 1879-82.
The rood screen described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as ‘glorious’., dates from 1420, and is one of the finest in the county, extending right across the church. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/DC9c9w16EL
The carving is magnificent; the design, while possessing distinctive features of its own, in some respects resembles the screens at Lapford and Hartland. It was restored c 1887 again by Pearson, when the paint was scraped off, the woodwork renewed and new carving, the work of Barnstaple men, inserted.
The nave roof to the west of the rood loft has diagonal ribs and cresting, and is painted blue with gilt stars. There are some curious bosses in the roof above the organ; flic.kr/p/a2AsA8 among them is St. Dunstan holding the Devil by the nose with a pair of pincers.
There is a hagioscope between the north aisle chapel and the chancel.
The registers date: baptisms, 1563; marriages, 1563; burials, 1562.

Church of St. Michael and All Angels, Dunchideock Devon stands on a slope next to a farm
(the name is Celtic and means 'the wooded fort or camp,' possibly referring to the earthwork of Cotley Castle which is nearby. In the 1086 Domesday Survey it was held by Ralph Paynel with 5 ploughs together with the usual meadows & woodland.
The present church dates from the late 14c and replaced an earlier building with the first recorded rector William de Lapeflod in 1261
Built of red sandstone in Perpendicular style, and consisting of a chancel, nave, north aisle of 5 bays, lady chapel, south porch, and three stage embattled west tower with south east projecting stair turret rising above its height of the tower. It has 3 bells, the first dated 1700, the second with Old English lettering, and the tenor which has an invocation to St. John.
The north chancel chapel was in 1669 "erected at his own noble expense " by Aaron Baker 1620–1683 to be the site of his burial and monument www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/ey032aUS4n after he had made his fortune in the East India trade and retired here.
In 1846 the building was described "as a picture of desolation"
and there is evidence of a c 1850s restoration as well as a thorough restoration of 1875-7 when the chancel was rebuilt.
The nave, chancel and lady chapel were restored in c 1887 for Sir William and Lady Waldron;
The Gothic screen dates from the 15c, and is complete with doors, groining and cornice. There is elaborate carving of the pier casing between the sections of the screen. The rood loft is six feet in width.. (However the screen was described as "remains" in 1843 and was largely reconstructed by wood worker Herbert Read in 1892, with additional work by the Herbert Read firm in 1962). The parclose screen is also notable;
In former years the south bay of the screen was cut to make room for a three-decker pulpit which was later removed and replaced by the present one in 1903 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/0A9B1Xgity and the screen restored. The medieval rood loft stair is intact including (unusually) the door to the stair which is a single plank with studs, it can still be seen in the south wall. and at the east end of the external nave can be seen the rectangular rood stair turret with a sloping slate roof.
The registers date: baptisms, 1538; marriages, 1539; burials, 1540.
The c1400 font also survives www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/91634946W2

Lynmouth is a village in Devon, England, on the northern edge of Exmoor. The village straddles the confluence of the West Lyn and East Lyn rivers, in a gorge 700 feet (210 m) below Lynton, which was the only place to expand to once Lynmouth became as built-up as possible. Both villages are connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway which works two cable-connected cars on gravity, using water tanks.
The two villages are a civil parish governed by Lynton and Lynmouth Town Council. The parish boundaries extend southwards from the coast and includes hamlets such as Barbrook and small moorland settlements such as East Ilkerton, West Ilkerton and Shallowford.
The South West Coast Path and Tarka Trail pass through, and the Two Moors Way runs from Ivybridge in South Devon to Lynmouth; the Samaritans Way South West runs from Bristol to Lynton and the Coleridge Way from Nether Stowey to Lynmouth.
Lynmouth was described by Thomas Gainsborough, who honeymooned there with his bride Margaret Burr, as "the most delightful place for a landscape painter this country can boast".
