A heritage walk to Kashmiri Gate this Sunday morning was a different and a special experience for we got a chance to know and explore one of the busiest areas of the Delhi City. The area which is frequently visited yet less ‘known’, the area which hides various traces of Indian history but is only termed as congested and filthy.
We all know how rapidly urban spaces change. It was seems incredible, but our first stop, Nicholson’s Cemetery, was located in the area which was a battleground for British and the Indian rebels during the 1857 revolt. The cemetery has both British & Indian burials. If Brigadier General John Nicholson was known for his excellent military skills then Master Yasudas Ramachandra was popular for his intellectual excellence. Our next stop was, the remains of one of the magnificent gates of old Delhi-the Kashmiri Gate. The road through it led to Kashmir and so gave it this name; likewise it also lent the name to the neighborhood around it. In close vicinity to the gate were the remains of the wall of the walled city of Shahjahanabad. It is important to note that not only was the city evolving but also its wall and the people nearby saw various ups and downs in their life time as the city transformed. Not to be ignored is the Bengali Club located at the Kashmiri Gate? Once it was a hub for promoting Bengali culture, customs, traditions and festivals but sadly it is in a forgotten state. We then proceeded to a place called Bada Bazaar which is known to have houses of various Mughal Nobles and British officials before the bazaar came up. None of us could miss the charm of Lal Masjid, also known as Fakhr-ul-Masajid, projecting itself amidst the old archaic surrounding architecture. Our heritage trail then proceeds towards the old buildings of two famous colleges of Delhi University, St. Stephens and the Hindu college. Former was started by the missionaries to spread the English western education while the latter by Indians in opposition to British ideas. Right in front of us was elegant building of the St. James Church, whose property was looted and stolen by the rebels during 1857. A canteen and a field hospital were established here by the rebels. The church was established by James Skinner & the churchyard has the Skinner family burial ground as well as the grave of his good friend, William Fraser. Next in our stop was the bungalow of William Fraser, a majestic colonial building which is known to be built on the basement Ali Mardan Khan’s (important Mughal noble) residence. Now, passing by the old buildings of the city we reached an Archaeological Museum which was once an important Mughal and British building. Called the Dara Shukoh Library, it was later made into the British Residency. This is where David Ochterlony lampooned as ‘Loony Akhtar’ lived. A few steps ahead is the Telegraph Memorial and remains of British Magazine, both memorials for the British; the loyal and faithful service of their officials, whose important deeds resulted in controlling the uprising. We finally reached the end of our walk at the Lothian Road Cemetery, the first British cemetery in Delhi. Our journey was an attempt to unravel the story of bravery and loyalty, tracing both sides of the story.

Super featherweight Eric Hunter (20-3, 10 KOs) destroyed Antonio Escalante (29-7, 20 KOs) in less than a round on Friday night at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio Ca. Hunter came out and walked down Escalante behind a high shoulder guard and caught him with a quick left hook two minutes into the round. After beating the count, a right hand put Escalante down for a second time. A follow up flurry punctuated by a vicious right hand put Escalante down a third time and for good. Referee Ray Corona stepped in and waved it off at the 2:45 mark of the opening round.
Unbeaten featherweight prospect Abraham Lopez (17-0-1, 12 KOs) stopped veteran Alfred Tetteh (23-3-1, 20 KOs) inside five rounds of a scheduled ten. Lopez controlled the action in the opening rounds and landed head-body combinations at will. Tetteh rallied back in the third and forth as he pressed the action and seemed to land the heavier shots. In the fifth however, a perfectly timed counter shot to the body floored the vet and left him unable to continue.
Middleweight Paul Valenzuela (6-1-1, 5 KOs) upset previously unbeaten Antonio Gutierrez (18-0, 8 KOs) by majority decision after six rounds of action. Both guys came out throwing from the opening bell but it was Valenzuela who seemed to land the cleaner shots. After six, one judge had it even at 57-57 while the deciding judges had it 60-54 and 58-56 for Valenzuela.
Taishan (4-0, 2 KOs) stopped Lance Gauch (5-8-2, 3 KOs) in the opening round of a scheduled four. Taishan unloaded a huge right hand that sent Gauch to the canvas like a sack of potatoes. Referee Ray Corona quickly stepped in and waved it off without a count. Gauch left the ring on a stretcher.
Unbeaten featherweight Joet Gonzalez (9-0, 4 KOs) won an eight round unanimous decision over veteran Jose Angel Beranza (36-32-2, 28 KOs).

I have been driving along the A143, the sometimes less-busy road, from Burt St Edmunds to Yarmouth, for as long as I have had a licence.
I first travelled it in the mid-80s, when in an act of bravery, I agreed to drive to the NEC to visit the Motor Show.
Back then it joined onto what was still the A45, now the A14, and I seem to remember the drive to Brum took about six hours. Quite an adventure for a new driver.
I mention this as I have been driving past St Mary's since then, and even in the dark days before I appreciated a good church, the tower of St Mary was a fine sight to see. Even more now as I can admire the skill that went into its flintwork.
However, I always thought that this was the church for Wortwell, which is the neighbouring village, but as I found when I did eventually visit, it is a separate village.
Close up, the tower is even more magnificent. And unlike Simon, I found it unlocked and with a welcome sign outside. I parked in the drive opposite, and was quickly across the road and into the churchyard.
---------------------------------------------------------
St Mary, Redenhall
St Mary is a tremendous sight, rearing its vast tower out of the rolling hills to the north of the Waveney. Although this is a tiny village, the church serves the pretty market town of Harleston, from which it is separated by the horrible Diss to Yarmouth road. Harleston has a 19th century chapel of ease in its centre, but when you see St Mary even from a distance you know that this is the one that means business.
I'd come here from the Catholic church in the southern outskirts of Harleston, and rather than cycle along the main road I had used a footpath across the fields. This was rather wonderful on an all terrain bike, because the path doglegged along the edges of fields slightly downhill for a couple of miles, before dipping suddenly through a copse so that I hurtled at speed under the chestnut trees, emerging, slightly breathless, in the south-west corner of the churchyard.
The mighty tower loomed above me. It is very reminiscent of the towers at Eye and Laxfield over the Suffolk border, and was almost certainly the work of the same masons. It was bankrolled by the De la Poles, one of the richest families on East Anglia in the 15th century. They were beneficiaries of the pestilences of the previous century, when the deaths of roughly half the people of Norfolk and Suffolk resulted in the break-up of the old estates and the rising of wages and prices. The emergence of a property-owning independent middle class would lead to the two great ideologies of the second half of the millennium, Protestantism and Capitalism.
But that was in the future when the De la Poles' and fellow proto-capitalists the Brothertons' bequests were rebuilding St Mary. Around the base of the tower you can see their lepard and wild man symbols. You might also spot tortoises, for this was the symbol of the Gawdy family.
One curious detail is the carving of farriers' implements on the west door. These have been taken to mean that the door was paid for by the local farriers' guild, but I see no reason to suppose that the carving is contemporary, and I think it is as likely to be the work of an idle 18th century hand.
Inevitably, the interior of the church was not going to live up to the exterior. St Mary is kept locked, which I took to be a symptom of its proximity to the suspicious churches of the Waveney valley, but is probably because the one major item of medieval interest inside is so spectacular. This is the double-headed eagle lectern, the glorious product of a 15th century East Anglian workshop. There is another in one of the Kings Lynn churches, and also one at St Mark's, in Venice. I loved the little lions on the pedestals best of all.
The lectern sits in the vast, echoey interior. The inside of St Mary has been thoroughly Victorianised, and it is really hard to summon up any sense of the medieval. The benches are urban and without character, the roodscreen entirely repainted, as recently as the 1920s and possibly the worst in Norfolk; the chancel is sombre and lifeless, full of Victorian anglo-catholic nonsense, now relegated to looking foolish. The 19th century font is particularly hideous. Apart from the Gawdy chapel in the north aisle, it has to be said that the inside of this church is dull. I suppose that it is only on the rare occasions St Mary fills up that it has much of an atmosphere.
Once you look beyond the medieval, it is the organ that is most worthy of note. David Drinkell, a regular correspondent of this site and organist of St John's Cathedral in Newfoundland (he charmingly describes himself as an organ anorak) tells me that it is of the highest importance. It was built by G.M. Holdich in 1843 and has not been altered. David says that Holdich was one of the most important builders of his time, and one of the last to stick to the old style of English organ, before they started raising wind pressures and introducing orchestral colours. Norfolk has quite a few Holdich organs, but Redenhall is the biggest one by him still standing as it was built and is a national treasure. As David observes, if it was in France there would be a preservation order on it, and pistols at dawn between opposing parties when it came up for restoration.
The north aisle chapel, to the Gawdy family, includes a spirited classical altar tomb of the late 18th century, a hint of Strawberry Hill Gothick about it, rather unusual but very well done. The heraldic glass is from Gawdy Hall, demolished in the early years of WWII. An intriguing detail in the chapel is a linen chest which is also said to come from Gawdy Hall. If you open the chest, you will find a depiction of the Annunciation with sailing ships above on the inside of the lid, which is very curious, to say the least.
You can walk under the great organ to beneath the tower, an impressive space as large as some churches. Though no longer used, you get an impression of the great processional entrance this must once have been, and perhaps an inkling of what St Mary was like in its late medieval heyday. This is one of those few churches where the difficulty of getting inside is no loss, and you may even prefer standing outside and reflecting on the glory that once was here.

I did less photography this year as I've been focused on getting settled into my new full-time job, but I still took time to do the thing I love doing. I want to do more travelling in 2025, and hopefully photograph different places around the world (a wish I've had since high school).
Happy birthday to me.

Ancient, with the paint worn off and the wood drying and cracking. From a sailing ship wrecked off the Atlantic coast about 150 years ago. There are a huge number of ships that have sunk in our waters over the last 500 years.
According to one resource 19,200 ships have been wrecked in Atlantic Canada since the 1500's. Robert Parson of Newfoundland and Labrador has personally documented over 500 wrecks around Newfoundland and on the Grand Banks.
