A wander around Gateshead's lovely Saltwell Park and grabbed a shot of Saltwell Towers as it caught the last rays of the day's Winter sunshine.
The building, completed in 1871, was the family home of William Wailes, a leading exponent of stained glass in the 19th century.
Didn't realise that one of the windows in Sunderland's original parish church of Holy Trinity is attributed to him!

Grade I Listed church of Norman period origins and a history of a number of additions and reconstructions.
The church and its adjoining convent were built by the Spanish Trinitarians between 1741 and 1746. They were designed by the Portuguese architect Emanuele Rodriguez dos Santos, assisted by Giuseppe Sardi.
The church has a concave facade with statues of the order's two founders saint John of Matha and saint Felix of Valois and the coat of arms of Philip V of Spain.
Its interior has a vestibule and then an elliptical plan with seven inter-communicating chapels (four to the right and three to the left), housing the original paintings placed in them in the 18th century.

Built in 1865 in Victorian Carpenter Gothic style, the former Holy Trinity Church of England can be found on a rise along Morses Creek Road in the little alpine town of Wandiligong. Built of weatherboard it is a charming example of wooden churches built all over Australia in little country towns. Unusually, it features Elizabethan loopy bargeboard gingerbreading. It is unpretentious and looks like a picturesque country village church, nestled into its surrounds which are full of tall elm trees and surrounded by a pretty white picket fence. The church was last used as a place of worship in the mid 1960s. Originally containing rather ornate stained glass which has subsequently been replaced with plain glass windows, the former Holy Trinity Church of England has since been converted into a residence, named McKenzie. Although an extension with skylights has been put at the rear of the building, the designs are sympathetic with the original 1865 building and are not visible from Morses Creek Road.
Victorian Carpenter Gothic style emerged where timber was the mail building material or where transport and portability were considerations, and most buildings were simplified versions of Victorian Gothic buildings, although some did have very beautifully ornamental wooden gingerbreading and fretwork.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
Winchester Cathedral is a cathedral in Winchester, Hampshire, England. It is one of the largest cathedrals in Europe, with the longest nave and greatest overall length of any Gothic cathedral in Europe.

Holy Trinity Church in Badgeworth, Gloucestershire, bathed in winter sunshine. Founded in the 14th century, this historic parish church is now a Grade I listed building.
Ten shots stitched as a panorama. The church was closed last year for major refurbishment. Clearly the work didn't stretch to painting the walls.
Meteora
You might think , looking at it , that this monastery would be more accessible but no you have to drop right down into the valley below to get to the staircase to climb up to it.
This is a panoramic stitch of 3 shots.

X The title of this photograph I took of Holy Trinity Church in Hull is taken from the final line of a poem by Shane Rhodes. The poem is called “ The City Speaks “and it was first read at 20.17 on January 1st 2017. It was literally the opening event of the Hulls first year as UK City of Culture. It’s asking a lot for you guys to read the poem but there is a five-minute video of it being read accompanied by images of Hull. It’s an honest film as it shows the gritty side of the city as well as the attractive bits. Also you will hear the cadence of a genuine Hull accent, not pretty but authentic .The words of the poem have been engraved into the pavement of Victoria Square in the centre of the city so they will outlive this year and one trusts a great many more.
The link to the video is at
For those of you who want to
read the poem, the text its at the top of the comments I have just put a few explanatory notes at the end of the poem and thanks a lot for your indulgence with all this stuff on Hull
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTRESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE

Built for Sir Robert Shirley between 1653 and 1655 in Gothic style, the Chapel of Holy Trinity is the estate church at Staunton Harold, where the Shirleys, their retainers and estate workers lived for generations. It is one of the few churches built between the outbreak of the English Civil War and the Restoration period.
Over the past few years, the National Trust has undertaken essential building and repair works at the church to ensure this place of reflection can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Tógadh eaglais iontach álainn na Tríonóide Naofa, i mBlackpool, Sasana, idir 1894 agus 1895. Dearadh le R. Knill Freeman í agus ba í seo a shárshaothar. Bhí an eaglais faoi bhagairt cúpla bliain ó shin agus bhí a leagan go talamh i gceist. Bailíodh airgead chun cuid mhór den obair athchóirithe a a dhéanamh áfach. Tá an t-athchóiriú ag dul ar aghaidh fós, ach de réir mar a d'athraigh daonra an cheantair go mór, is deacair muinín a fháil i dtiodhchaí na heaglaise.

The impressive and beautiful Holy Trinity Church, Dean Street, was built in 1894-5, and designed by R. Knill Freeman. This was his chef d’oeuvre. The church was threatened with demolition a few years ago but money was raised to do much of the restoration work required. Restoration continues today but as the population of the area has dramatically changed, it is hard to be confident for the future. ..... www.htss.org.uk/future.php

The neo-Gothic bell tower (1889) belonging to the Holy Trinity Parish in Nowy Korczyn, Poland.
Nowy Korczyn is a village located in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, 70 km north-east of Kraków - where the Nida and Vistula Rivers meet.
Established in 1258 by Duke of Cracow Boleslaus the Chaste (Bolesław Wstydliwy), it was once an important trade and political centre of the medieval Poland.
In the latter half of the 14th century, during the reign of Casimir the Great (Kazimierz Wielki), a stone castle was erected in Korczyn, surrounded by a moat.
In the early 15th century the castle was developed by King Ladislaus Jogaila (Władysław Jagiełło), and it became one of the Royal residences. It was here where in 1409 the envoys of the Teutonic Order declared war against the Kingdom of Poland, which resulted in the largest medieval battle in history fought in 1410 on the fields of Grunwald.
During the Jagiellonian Dynasty period, from the 15th century onwards Nowy Korczyn became an important political centre of the Polish Kingdom, with the General Assembly of Lesser Poland being held there. The city was prospering thanks to its numerous breweries, and corn trade.
Its decline started in the 17th century. In 1606 Nowy Korczyn was robbed during the Zebrzydowski’s Rebellion. A considerable part of the town was destroyed by a fire in 1607. During the Swedish Deluge it was plundered by Swedes, Cossacks and Transylvanian troops. During the Northern War in 1702, Nowy Korczyn was pillaged again and burnt down by the Swedes, and has never revived to this day. The medieval castle was pulled down in 1776, as well as the city walls.
The Partitions of Poland at the end of the 18th century, apart from all their other disastrous consequences, additionaly cut off Korczyn from trade routes because of the new state borders emerged, which led to the final downfall of the town. Being devastated by the great fires in 1855 and 1857, Nowy Korczyn eventually lost its city status in 1869.
In the 20th century, during the Great War, Nowy Korczyn reappeared on the pages of history as the Polish Legions under Józef Piłsudski fought here the Russian offensive in 1914. Piłsudski's headquarters were located in Nowy Korczyn.
In 1938 a new bridge was built on the Vistula River near Korczyn, with the aim to cause an economic development of the region by connecting it to the Tarnów area. However, just one year later in 1939 the bridge was blown up by the retreating units of Army Kraków, and has never been rebuilt.
In 1942, the Jewish population of Nowy Korczyn (ca. 3000, which was 70% of the total community) persihed in Holocaust. After losing 3/4 of its pre-war population, for some years it became almost a ghost town.
Today, Nowy Korczyn is a small, forgotten and a little neglected village, with the two old churches and ruins of a synagogue, being the only witnesses of its former glory.
Lychgate Cottages
The Lychgate Cottages. Named after the lychgate, through which funerals once entered Holy Trinity graveyard (Old English lic, corpse). The jetted building has been tree-ring dated to 1414-15 and is the only surviving priory building within the former monastic precinct. It stood in the enclosed forecourt of St Mary's cathedral with a high wall to the left and the church's south-west tower to the right. The building was restored and extended in 1856 and repaired again in 1997-8.
