Montacute House is a late Elizabethan mansion with garden in Montacute, South Somerset.
An example of English architecture during a period that was moving from the medieval Gothic to the Renaissance Classical, and one of few prodigy houses to survive almost unchanged from the Elizabethan era,[3] the house has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building,[1] and Scheduled Ancient Monument.[2] It was visited by 125,442 people in 2013.[4] Designed by an unknown architect, possibly the mason William Arnold, the three-storey mansion, constructed of the local Ham Hill stone, was built in about 1598 by Sir Edward Phelips, Master of the Rolls and the prosecutor during the trial of the Gunpowder Plotters.[5]
Sir Edward Phelips' descendants occupied the house until the early 20th century. For a brief period the house was let to tenants, one of whom was Lord Curzon, who lived at the house with his mistress, the novelist Elinor Glyn. In 1931, it was acquired by the National Trust.
The house is maintained by the National Trust. Its Long Gallery, the longest in England, serves as a South-West outpost of the National Portrait Gallery displaying a skilful and well-studied range of old oils and watercolours.
Montacute and its gardens have been a filming location for several films and a setting for television costume dramas and literary adaptations. Wikipedia

freetwitter101.com/?post_type=post&p=234What is Twitter spam? It's the unsolicited onslaught of advertisements that all Tweeters see every day, uninvited, unwanted, and annoying. Spam on Twitter is reaching epidemic proportions.
Why is Twitter spam so commonplace? Because there's been a huge buzz about using Twitter as a mass marketing tool, and many greedy, clueless "business people" who just don't get it have infiltrated the system.
I'm on the site almost daily, and can attest to the fact that spam on Twitter is everywhere! To illustrate this point I just went over to Twitter and found this perfect example on the very first page of my account: "In this business you can make so much money it's unbelievable all you have to do is try!" - followed by a url which I don't care to repeat.....
I mean really, would you approach a stranger at a party with a line like that? Than don't even think for a minute that it's acceptable on Twitter!
Endless numbers of marketers are choosing to spam followers on Twitter.
For some it might bring quick revenues but it makes for poor business practice, can drive Twitter users away, and using spam on Twitter can result in being banned from the site.
If you're just starting with online marketing you should know that Twitter is one of the perfect resources for promoting and building your business. It's free, it's an excellent tool for connecting with potential customers and business partners, and it can drive traffic to your website or blog on autopilot. And it's viral. What more could you ask for?
But there's a right and a wrong way to use it and trust me, posting spam on Twitter is not the right way! So, how can you use this free and powerful resource to build your business?
In order to be successful, you'll need to establish a relationship of trust with your potential clients and business partners.
If you spam followers on Twitter they will not have any desire to know you! Who can blame them?
You'll want to be a respected business person who attracts others through offering value and assistance. And yes, you can use Twitter to accomplish that goal. But first you have to work on building relationships and giving to others.
After people get to know and like you, and only then, they'll want to learn more about you. It's at that point that they'll take the time to look at your profile page and may click on the links that you've posted on your Twitter page. This is how Twitter relationships are formed.
So, rather than resorting to using spam on Twitter, effective marketers use the approaches below to develop relationships with fellow tweeters:
* Share links to videos that others may enjoy
* Post humorous or inspirational quotes
* Review books and movies that others may like
* Retweet great content that others have provided
* Give genuine, heartfelt compliments to those you're attracted to
* Provide free, valuable information
* Use the 90/10 rule - provide 90% valuable content and 10% (discreet) promotion
You may be thinking, "it sounds like every other kind of relationship". Congratulations, you get it! You're one of the few who will know better than to spam on Twitter, and you're on your way to dominating the Twitter scene!

The Lyman Allyn Art Museum is home to a collection of more than 18,000 works.
The Museum opened in March 1932 with only 13 objects from the permanent collection on view. Of the original 13 on display, four were of Asian or ancient origin, four were European sculptures – two of which were quite modern – and five were European works on paper dating from the 14th to the 18th centuries. Today, the collection has grown to include more than 18,000 paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, furniture and decorative arts as a result of active acquisitions by the Museum and generous donations to the Lyman Allyn.
The collection spans a 2,600-year period, ranging from ancient Greek and Roman artifacts to works by living artists, with particular strengths in American and European art from the 18th and 19th centuries. Notable artists in the collection include Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, John Copley, Winthrop Chandler, Paul Revere, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Sol LeWitt, Eugene Delacroix, Charles LeBrun, J. A. D. Ingres, and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, among many others.
The 18th Century
New London’s deep water harbor has driven the regional economy since colonial times, connecting southeastern Connecticut to the broader Atlantic world. In the 18th century, local shipping merchants specialized in the West Indies trade, exporting livestock and food to Caribbean plantations in exchange for sugar, molasses, and rum. Economic growth and stability in the second half of the century enabled colonists to acquire a greater range of household goods—textiles, silver, glass, ceramics, furniture, and paintings among them. Some goods were imported, while others were produced in the home or by craftsmen and artists, whose work and skill expanded to meet increasing demand. The Tea Table and the painting of Sarah Deshon (from the same family) tell a local story, showing how the Deshons of 18th century New London cemented their status and wealth from trade with objects that conveyed their social and economic standing.
Connecticut played a key role in the American Revolution, as political tension over taxation and colonial governance led to war with Britain. With the British headquartered in New York City, New London’s harbor was an ideal site from which to initiate naval attacks on British loyalists. New London’s privateering (the use of authorized private ships to attack and loot enemy ships) prompted British troops to retaliate, burning New London in the Battle of Groton Heights on September 6, 1781.
Daniel Huntington’s portrait of Abigail Dolbeare Hinman, 1854–56, recreates an episode from this event, showing Hinman standing with her musket in hand, attempting to shoot Benedict Arnold, who can be seen through the window, sitting on horseback.
The 19th Century
As the young nation sought to define itself in the first half of the 19th century, artists created objects and paintings to unite Americans around common ideals of liberty, justice, and hope for the future. Some objects were overtly patriotic, while others were less direct. Hudson River School landscapes, for example, expressed pride in the nation’s natural resources, with scenes from the woods, rivers, and mountains of the northeast standing in for all of America, suggesting the promise of land, the spread of civilization, and the unique, almost spiritual quality of the landscape.
Artists also traveled to Europe to study art and see the sights, painting mountains and classical ruins, as Thomas Cole did in his the majestic view of Mount Etna, drawing visual connections between the ideals of the newly minted American Republic and those of classical antiquity.
Steam power, the railroad, the telegraph, and improved roads and canals ushered in the age of industrialization, facilitating the mass production and transportation of goods. Whereas many objects had been crafted by hand in the previous century, the 19th century saw the rise of goods made with machines. Connecticut mills and factories produced munitions, tinworks, clocks, furniture, and textiles, among other things. Early factories were fueled by whale oil, an important industrial lubricant and lamp fuel supplied by whaling, the most significant part of New London’s economy for several decades.
Isaac Sheffield, who painted portraits of many local whaling captains, portrayed five-year-old James Francis Smith shortly after his return from a long whaling voyage in 1837 with his father, New London whaling captain Franklin Smith. They had gone to Desolation Island in the South Seas, and his portrait shows him wearing a penguin skin coat, with the Chelsea, the ship his father had captained, in the background.
The United States grew dramatically over the course of the 19th century, expanding westward and growing in population with waves of immigration. Regional differences and tension over slavery and states’ rights erupted in the U.S. Civil War (1861–65). In New London County, a number of textile mills were built to supply the Union troops. After the war, New England’s mills became an industrial powerhouse, employing and sustaining entire towns.
The 20th Century
In a period of tremendous growth and change, artists looked forward and back, charting new terrain with abstraction, while revisiting their artistic roots through innovative approaches to traditional genres such as landscape, still life, and portraiture.
The early 20th century was a time of rapid expansion and industrialization fueled in part by waves of immigration. A decade of exuberance followed World War I before the stock market crash of 1929 initiated the Great Depression of the 1930s. Abstraction and European modernism filtered into American art, while a realistic, regional style simultaneously held sway, resulting in a mix of subjects and styles.
Many artists were drawn to the energy and bustle of the modern city, awash in crowds and transformed by industry, skyscrapers and the automobile. The city could be intense, noisy, and oppressive, however, and some artists retreated during the summer to Connecticut art colonies to paint peaceful landscapes and scenes of leisure. Guy Wiggins drew inspiration from both the city and the country, painting impressionistic views of New York in winter, as well as scenes such as Church on the Hill, ca. 1910–12, showing country life in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
Beatrice Cuming’s painting, Chubb, shows a submarine being built in Groton, Connecticut during World War II. Cuming’s canvas affirms New London’s long connection to the sea and celebrates industry at a time when the nation was consumed with the war effort.
Post-War Art
In the prosperity and growth of the post-World War II era, a multiplicity of artistic trends and styles arose, dominated by abstraction. New York emerged as the center of the international art world. The 1960s and ‘70s witnessed cultural upheaval as people of color and women sought equal rights and many protested the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The prevalence of advertising and mass media led artists to explore new themes, performance, and technology, questioning the definitions of art and the idea of originality.
Since the 1980s, the postmodern art world has been in flux, and issues of gender, race, politics, and cultural identity have been at the fore in our globalized and technology-driven world. In A.R.T. (in the new world order), 1994, African-American artist Willie Cole uses text on a blackboard to create an acrostic poem of sorts, using various word associations and erasure to define and comment on art and culture.
For example, the YouTube gospel song, “Pastor Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago – Awesome” as an example of constructs of God in security modeling.

The 12th century feline head door-knocker in the south porch, a very rare survivor that looks as if it might be the cub of the much more famous and flamboyant example at Durham Cathedral. Like the Durham example a copy has been substituted in its original position. The original is now kept in the Treasury at Hereford Cathedral.
St Peter's at Dormington sits close to the road where this small but attractive building may be admired by many passers by. At a glance it may appear a fairly humble building, a simple two-cell structure of nave and chancel crowned only by a weather-boarded spirelet belfry at the west end, but there are rewarding things here for those who stop.
The chancel was mostly rebuilt in Victorian times but the nave is still largely late Norman, though this is not readily apparent from outside given the later windows. The first real sign of Norman work here is a very special one revealed upon entering the south porch: the door knocker is a rare piece of late Romanesque metalwork in the form of a feline head (nowadays a copy takes the place of the original which is kept in the treasury at Hereford)..
Inside the antiquity of the building is much more apparent, with the tiny chancel arch seemingly bored through the east wall of the nave revealing little of the space beyond. The style is transitional as the arch is pointed, but the proportions suggest a late 12th century date nonetheless. Various 17th century memorials adorn the walls with some details of sculptural interest.
The most memorable features inside the church however are the two very fine stained glass windows, that at the east end being a rare work by Mary Lowndes and Isobel Gloag depicting the Last Supper from 1901. Lowndes is famous for setting up the Glass House at Fulham to provide studio space for a number of renowned Arts & Crafts artists, Her glass here is a striking piece with faces full of character. At the west end is a late work by Morris & Co using cartoons by Burne Jones for the figures of Fortiitude & Justice, all in characteristic cool greens and warm orange.
Dormington church is normally open and welcoming to visitors and well rewards a visit for its antiquity and glorious glass.
