The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, popularly known as Washington National Cathedral, is a cathedral of the Episcopal Church located in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. Of neogothic design, it is the sixth-largest cathedral in the world, the second-largest in the United States and the fourth-tallest structure in Washington, D.C. The cathedral is the seat of both the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, Katharine Jefferts Schori, and the Bishop of the Diocese of Washington, Mariann Edgar Budde. In 2009, nearly 400,000 visitors toured the structure. Average attendance at Sunday services in 2009 was 1,667, the highest of all domestic parishes in the Episcopal Church that year.
The arbour. Snow by Georges le Brun, 1913.
Although heavily influenced by Symbolism, Le Brun remained open to all forms of avant-garde expression, and followed the changes and developments of the Neo-Impressionists. His interest in this can be detected in the subtle interplay of light.

George Calinescu (June 19, 1899, Bucharest - March 12, 1965, Otopeni) was a Romanian literary critic, historian, novelist, Academician and journalist, and a writer of classicist and humanist tendencies. He is currently considered one of the most important Romanian literary critics of all time, alongside Titu Maiorescu and Eugen Lovinescu, and one of the outstanding figures of Romanian letters in the 20th century.

George III was King of Great Britain and King of Ireland from 25 October 1760 until the union of these two countries on 1 January 1801, after which he was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until his death in 1820.
In the later half of his life, George suffered from mental illness. In 1810, a regency was established, and his eldest son ruled as Prince Regent. On George's death, the Prince Regent succeeded his father as George IV.
According to Pevsner, the statue dates from 1824-30. It was by Richard Westmacott, who was paid £18,712. It is 25ft high, including the base.
"The Long Walk, with its avenue of elms, runs southwards from the George IV gateway of the castle through the park in a straight line for 3 miles. At the end of the Long Walk is the bronze equestrian statue of George III in Roman dress, by Westmacott, which stands on a granite pedestal 26 ft. high at the top of an elevation known as Snow Hill."
This painting was in the background of a magazine picture. I find this picture very amusing and would love to have it in my house!
When George's Grandmamma was told
That George had been as good as gold,
She promised in the afternoon
To buy him an Immense BALLOON.
And so she did; but when it came,
It got into the candle flame,
And being of a dangerous sort
Exploded with a loud report!
The lights went out! The windows broke!
The room was filled with reeking smoke.
And in the darkness shrieks and yells
Were mingled with electric bells,
And falling masonry and groans,
And crunching, as of broken bones,
And dreadful shrieks, when, worst of all,
The house itself began to fall!
It tottered, shuddering to and fro,
Then crashed into the street below-
Which happened to be Savile Row.
When help arrived, among the dead
Were Cousin Mary, Little Fred,
The Footmen (both of them), the Groom,
The man that cleaned the Billiard-Room,
The Chaplain, and the Still-Room Maid.
And I am dreadfully afraid
That Monsieur Champignon, the Chef,
Will now be permanently deaf-
And both his aides are much the same;
While George, who was in part to blame,
Received, you will regret to hear,
A nasty lump behind the ear.
The moral is that little boys
Should not be given dangerous toys.
Ce grand buste en bronze à l'effigie de Georges Brassens, réalisé par André Greck en 1987, orne le parc Georges Brassens situé à l'emplacement d'anciennes halles aux bestiaux. Le parc Georges Brassens a ainsi été nommé en l'honneur du chanteur qui vivait dans une rue adjacente.
David Lloyd George - The 'Welsh Wizard' - raised in a cobbler's cottage in Llanystumdwy, near Criccieth - was a champion of the poor and disenfranchised. Lloyd George stated, “Four spectres haunt the Poor — Old Age, Accident, Sickness and Unemployment". He was the founder of the Welfare State. His introduction of the Old Age Pensions and National Insurance was a great gift to the people of Britain. Standing up to the House of Lords, when they sought to block his reforms, was a monumental contribution to British democracy.
Lloyd George was the man who, as Minister of Munitions, Minister for War and eventually Prime Minister, helped to lead Britain through The Great War, and whose courage strengthened the nation's resolve in its darkest hours. In its aftermath, he played an important role in encouraging world leaders to sign the Treaty of Versailles.
Yet controversy was never far away and still continues to be the subject of much debate.
It must always be remembered that this was the first British politician to rise from humble origins to Number 10 Downing Street. The only Welshman to hold office of Prime Minister. His upbringing was crucial to the formulation and execution of his radical ideas later in life. He never forgot what it was to be poor, and he had a burning desire to improve the lives of the working class people.

The South African War memorial at Sherborne School takes the form of a reredos in glass mosaic (opus sectile) at the east end of the School chapel, with an alabaster tablet on the south wall recording the names of the Old Shirburnians who lost their lives. Designed by James Powell and Sons of Whitefriars, with cartoons by Brown and Mann, the memorial cost £220. The reredos features the figures of ten saints and martyrs: (from north to south) Bishop John Coleridge Patteson, St George, St Cyprian, St James, St John the Baptist, St Stephen, St Paul, St Laurence, St Alban, and Bishop James Hannington. The memorial was unveiled by Lord Methuen on 30 January 1904.
