These wall paintings were executed by Clayton & Bell between 1873-6 in the spirit-fresco technique devised by Thomas Gambier Parry in which painting is done in a mixture of oil and resin-bound pigments onto primed plaster or stone. The cost was just over £3,000, and they were commissioned by Sir Tatton Sykes II (the fifth baronet). The paintings were cleaned and conserved by Donald Smith and Wolfgang Gärtner for the Pevsner Memorial Trust as a memorial to Sir Nicholas Pevsner who had in the first edition of the East Yorkshire guide commented that it was essential that they be preserved. These Creation and Old Testament scenes are on the arcade on the north nave wall.

Detail of a neo-medieval window in the north transept at Salle, celebrating historical personages associated with the church, and executed in a very conscious attempt to mimic the 15th century style of original glass here by Herbert Bryans c1912.
SS Peter & Paul at Salle is church I've known about for years, having read the words of many who have waxed lyrical about this grand medieval edifice standing proud in near splendid isolation. The testimonies invariably praise this church as one of the highlights of Norfolk, if not one of the finest parish churches in the entire country; in my mind it thus had much to live up to now that I was finally to see it for myself.
Salle church lives up to all these superlatives and more, it is a magnificent building, first sight of it being something like finding a cathedral in the middle of a rural field! It is late medieval at its best, all of a piece 15th century architecture with many original furnishings to match. My initial impression of the interior was of a large, almost barn-like space filled with antique furniture, a place where the more one looks the more interest one finds in every corner, this being a church that requires very thorough exploration to see all it has to offer.
I fell in love with this church and could easily have spent much longer here (though thankfully didn't as this would have compromised seeing the other gems our generous hosts also had planned for us for the rest of the day!). Salle is a churchcrawler's dream and shouldn't be missed, it is happily normally open and welcoming to visitors.
Today (Friday 10 November), Operation Vulcan executed warrants at premises on Bury New Road, shutting down and seizing half a million of pounds worth of counterfeit items.
Police warnings seem to have fallen on deaf ears for some counterfeit operations in the area. Attempts to re-open and profit from the Christmas sales however continue to be detected and swiftly shut down.
Thanks to intelligence from the Cheetham Hill Neighbourhood Team (who remain in the area with the Vulcan team and conduct daily patrols in the community), Operation Vulcan were able to execute these warrants just days after witnessing customers walking down Bury New Road with bags of fake goods.
Detective Sergeant Matt Donnelly, one of Operation Vulcan’s specialist officers, said: “These results today demonstrate just how important it is that Operation Vulcan remain in the area. The criminals operating here are so brazen, the minute they think they spot an opening, they’re back up and running as though it’s business as usual. We’re here to show them that this isn’t the case, and we will not stop until these illegitimate shops are eradicated and those responsible are locked up.
“I hope this is a warning that no matter how many times you try to reopen, we will continue to seize your belongings and profits, making sure none of this money can make its way back into the criminal market.
Councillor Luthfur Rahman, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council said: "Over the past 12 months we have achieved a great deal through Operation Vulcan. Through our partnership with GMP gangs have been run out of Cheetham Hill and people have been allowed to feel safe in their own neighbourhoods.
"But the work will go on. We know these gangs are tenacious and that criminals will always find ways to circumvent the law. The Council's Trading Standards will remain vigilant throughout the Christmas period to make sure that dangerous or harmful goods do not make their way in the hands of the public."

I'm currently reading the biography of Edith Cavell by Diana Souhami (Quercus 2010).
Not only finding out a lot more about the woman herself, but also something about the life of a young middle class woman in the late 19th century, and the development of the nursing profession into the early years of the 20th century. Very interesting.

Capone was shot and killed on Sept 27,2011 while being let out of his own house by a lake elsinore detective when he illegally kicked oipen our front door. Approx. 25-30 ft away in our yard not one growl, bark and never even acknowledging the officers that stood on our front porch.Capone was facing perpindicular to the officers, nHe was shot and killed unjustly. My husband had a bullet hit his foot leaving a bullet hole in his boot grazing his foot. There was NO REASON for this ! If either of our dogs wanted to charge and attack like they "claimed" they had every opportunity when the front door was kicked open with the two officers standing on our front porch. MY husband and I both were arrested on BOGUS charges to justify what they did.

This morning (Thursday 15 January 2026), officers executed an arrest warrant at an address on Brooklands Avenue, Chadderton, resulting in three arrests.
A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A, B, and C drugs, as well as possession of offensive weapons. A man aged 62, and a woman aged 61, were also arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs.
The warrant was the culmination of a thorough investigation by Chadderton’s Neighbourhood Team, who remain committed to tackling drug supply and misuse across the borough.
Acting on intelligence provided by the local community, officers identified the address as a suspected hub for drug activity. Police Sergeant Tom Layton and PC Aleks Gornisiewicz led the investigation, securing sufficient evidence to obtain today’s warrant.
Upon entry, officers located a man in an attic bedroom. Officers were able to seize drugs located in the bedroom.
Inside the property, officers discovered a variety of Class A, B, and C drugs, including suspected cocaine, nitrous oxide, and cannabis. Several bladed weapons—such as axes, machetes, and zombie knives were also seized, along with multiple mobile phones and luxury items.
The three suspects currently remain in custody for further questioning and all seized drugs will be transported to our labs for testing.
PS Tom Layton from the Chadderton Neighbourhood team said: "Today’s warrant was a great success, made possible thanks to vital intelligence from our community.
“I want residents to know that we are here to listen and act on your concerns. As a Neighbourhood Sergeant, my priority is keeping our community safe.
“Greater Manchester Police is relentless in tackling the supply and use of drugs across the force, and I am deeply committed to that mission here in Oldham.
“We have zero tolerance for offensive weapons and removing them from our streets remains an absolute priority.
“I urge anyone with information about criminal activity to come forward. Today’s warrant demonstrates just how crucial community intelligence is and how we act on it to protect you."

U.S. Army cavalry troopers execute a mounted pistol charge during field maneuvers at Fort Riley, Kansas, circa 1936. Wearing khaki summer uniforms, leather Sam Browne belts, and armed with Colt M1911 pistols, the horsemen of the Cavalry School demonstrate the precision and discipline of interwar mounted tactics—among the last years of traditional horse cavalry training before the branch’s mechanization on the eve of World War II.
The Jubilee Cross
Designed by Jack Penton and executed by Hector Moore of Brandeston.
The cross is hollow, made of copper strips plated with silver, surmounted by the Star of Bethlehem. The crown and arrows are a tribute to St Edmund. The coats of arms are those of the Diocese. The staff is ebony inlaid with silver fillets.
A church has stood on the site of the cathedral since at least 1065, when St Denis's Church was built within the precincts of Bury St Edmunds Abbey. In the early 12th century the Abbot, Anselm, had wanted to make a pilgrimage along the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela. He was unsuccessful and instead rebuilt St Denis's and dedicated the new church to Saint James, which served as the parish church for the north side of Bury St Edmunds. Anselm was also responsible for building the abbey gate tower, known today as the Norman Tower, alongside St James's, which also served as the church's belfry and it continues in this function to the present day. The church is located about 200 yards from St Mary's Church, which is of a similar size.
This church was largely rebuilt, starting in 1503, in the Perpendicular style by John Wastell, a master mason who also worked on King's College, Cambridge. Further alterations to the building were undertaken in the 18th and 19th centuries, notably a new chancel and a hammerbeam roof by George Gilbert Scott. When the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich was created in 1914, St James's Church was made the cathedral. In 1959 Benjamin Britten wrote the Fanfare for St Edmundsbury for a "Pageant of Magna Carta" held in the cathedral grounds.
From 1959 onwards there was renewed building work designed to transform the former parish church into a cathedral building. Between 1959 and 1970, the Victorian chancel was demolished and replaced with a new quire, a cloister was added on the west side; also transepts, a Lady chapel and a side chapel dedicated to St Edmund were built. The cathedral architect from 1943 to 1988 was Stephen Dykes Bower and he left £2 million for the completion of the cathedral. In the cathedral grounds a new choir school and visitor's centre, which were opened in 1990, were built by Dykes Bower's successor, Alan Rome. Work started on a Gothic revival style tower in 2000; funded by the Millennium Commission, the Stephen Dykes Bower Trust and others, the Millennium Tower was designed by Hugh Mathew, an associate of Dykes Bower. The 150 foot (46 metre) structure was built from 600,000 bricks and faced with Barnack and Clipsham stone. Its completion was officially celebrated on 22 July 2005. Further additions are the Chapel of the Transfiguration and the East Cloister, both completed in 2009, and the Crypt Treasury in 2012.

La fontaine de l’Encelade fut exécutée en plomb par Gaspard Marsy entre 1675 et 1677. Le sujet en est emprunté à l’histoire de la chute des Titans, ensevelis sous les rochers de l’Olympe par les dieux qu’ils avaient voulu détrôner. Le sculpteur a représenté le géant Encelade à demi englouti sous un amoncèlement rocheux, luttant contre la mort et dont la souffrance se traduit par le puissant jet qui s’échappe de sa bouche, comme un cri. Le dessin du bosquet, dont le pourtour est scandé par des pavillons de treillage reliés par des berceaux, a été totalement modifié en 1706 par Jules Hardouin-Mansart qui transforme cet espace fermé en carrefour ouvert en supprimant les treillages, les petits bassins et la dénivellation d’origine. Un programme de restauration mené de 1992 à 1998 a permis de restituer à ce bosquet son aspect d’origine. (Source : les Bosquets - château de Versailles)
The Enceladus Fountain was made of lead by Gaspard Marsy between 1675 and 1677, and was inspired by the legend of the fall of the Giants in Greek and Roman mythology. Punished for trying to climb Mount Olympus to dethrone the gods, they were buried under a heap of rocks, as illustrated here by the figure of Enceladus, whose suffering is conveyed by the powerful water jet gushing out of his mouth like a cry of pain.
These two crosses mark the place!

Norway's Resistance Museum
Norway's Resistance Museum is housed in an old protected building in Akershus Castle Oslo, adjoining the memorial at the spot where Norwegian patriots were executed by the Germans during the second world war.
Norway's Resistance Museum was established in 1966 as an independent foundation for the purpose of «Contributing to the presentation of a true and authentic picture of the occupation by means of objects, pictures, printed matter, etc., collected preserved and exhibited with a view to giving the young people of today and coming generations a true to life impression of the evil represented by occupation and foreign rule, in this way helping to strengthen the sense of unity and defence of our national liberties».
The Museum was opened to the public in May 1970 by HRH Crown Prince Harald celebrating the 25th anniversary of liberation. The initiative to the Museum and in fact the creators of the institution were a group of persons who had been actively engaged in the resistance. Overall architectural planning was entrusted to Otto Torgersen who with key personnel from various branches of the underground forces produced a chronological gallery through the period from the prelude in the 1930's onwards to liberation in 1945.

Executed for the church of San Rocco and long venerated as miraculous, this painting is a German-style interpretation of a traditional Venetian devotional model.
Today (Friday 10 November), Operation Vulcan executed warrants at premises on Bury New Road, shutting down and seizing half a million of pounds worth of counterfeit items.
Police warnings seem to have fallen on deaf ears for some counterfeit operations in the area. Attempts to re-open and profit from the Christmas sales however continue to be detected and swiftly shut down.
Thanks to intelligence from the Cheetham Hill Neighbourhood Team (who remain in the area with the Vulcan team and conduct daily patrols in the community), Operation Vulcan were able to execute these warrants just days after witnessing customers walking down Bury New Road with bags of fake goods.

The statue of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt by Ernst Plassman was executed in 1869 and moved to its current location on the south facade of Grand Central Terminal in 1913. The 8-foot, 6-inch-tall, bronze statue originally stood from 1869-1913 in the niche of a panel with reliefs of railroads, steamships, and agricultural elements at the Hudson River Railroad Freight Depot. The panel was not relocated with the sculpture when it was moved. In the past, this piece was attributed to Albert DeGroot, but historian David M. Kahn, in an article for The Connoisseur, June 1980, reattributed it to Plassman.
Grand Central Terminal, located at 42nd Street and Park Avenue, was built by and named for the New York Central Railroad opened to the public on February 2, 1913. The Beaux Arts design, by the architectural firms Reed and Stem and Warren and Wetmore, features iconic elements like the Main Concourse with its vaulted astronomical ceiling, a four-faced opal clock that doubles as a popular meeting point, and a majestic façade with sculptures by Jules-Félix Coutan. Serving over 750,000 daily passengers riding the Metro-North Railroad, it is the largest train station in the world by number of platforms, boasting 41 across two underground levels. Over the years it has played a crucial role in the development of New York and as a cultural landmark, housing more than 70 shops and dining options. The terminal faced potential demolition in the 1970s but was saved by a landmark preservation campaign led by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
In 2007, Grand Central Station was ranked #13 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
