The Radcliffe Observatory

Grade I Listed

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radcliffe_Observatory

 

The Radcliffe Observatory Quarter is one of the most significant development projects the University of Oxford has undertaken for more than a century.

 

It lies between the Woodstock Road and Walton Street, with Somerville College to the south and Green Templeton College to the north.

 

The land was previously occupied by Radcliffe Infirmary which was opened on the site in 1770. It was Oxford’s first hospital.

 

In 1772 building began on the Radcliffe Observatory, It was the astronomical observatory of the University of Oxford from 1773 to 1934, and is now in the grounds of Green Templeton College.

 

Over the centuries there have been many developments of the site. The Infirmary remained an independent hospital until the National Health Service was formed in 1948 when it became part of United Oxford Hospitals.

 

Although the site was sold to the University of Oxford in 2003, it was leased to the National Health Service until 2007, when all the hospital’s activities were relocated to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Headington.

 

Following an extensive consultation process, the Masterplan for the redevelopment of the site was submitted to Oxford City Council, and work began in October 2008.

 

The first buildings to be completed were new student accommodation blocks for Somerville College which opened in September 2011.

Hereford Cathedral, in Hereford Herefordshire. The current Hereford Cathedral dates from 1079 and is a Grade I listed building. Its most famous treasure is Mappa Mundi, a mediaeval map of the world dating from the 13th century.

 

The cathedral is dedicated to two patron saints, namely Saint Mary the Virgin and Saint Ethelbert the King. The latter was beheaded by Offa, King of Mercia in the year 792. Offa had consented to give his daughter to Ethelbert in marriage: why he changed his mind and deprived him of his head historians do not know, although tradition is at no loss to supply him with an adequate motive. The execution, or murder, is said to have taken place at Sutton, four miles (6 km) from Hereford, with Ethelbert's body brought to the site of the modern cathedral by 'a pious monk'. At Ethelbert's tomb miracles were said to have occurred, and in the next century (about 830) Milfrid, a Mercian nobleman, was so moved by the tales of these marvels as to rebuild in stone the little church which stood there, and to dedicate it to the sainted king.

 

Before this, Hereford had become the seat of a bishopric. It is said to have been the centre of a diocese as early as the 6th century. In the 7th century the cathedral was refounded by Putta, who settled here when driven from Rochester by Æthelred of Mercia. The cathedral of stone, which Milfrid raised, stood for some 200 years, and then, in the reign of Edward the Confessor, it was altered. The new church had only a short life, for it was plundered and burnt in 1056 by a combined force of Welsh and Irish under Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, the Welsh prince; it was not, however, destroyed until its custodians had offered vigorous resistance, in which seven of the canons were killed.

 

Hereford Cathedral remained in a state of ruin until Robert of Lorraine was consecrated to the see (made Bishop) in 1079 and undertook its reconstruction. His work was carried on, or, more probably, redone, by Bishop Reynelm, who was next but one in the succession, and reorganised the college of secular canons attached to the cathedral. Reynelm died in 1115, and it was only under his third successor, Robert de Betun, who was Bishop from 1131 to 1148, that the church was brought to completion.

 

Of this Norman church, little has survived but the choir up to the spring of the clerestory, the south transept, the arch between the north transept and the choir aisle, and the nave arcade. Scarcely 50 years after its completion William de Vere, who occupied the see from 1186 to 1199, altered the east end by constructing a retro-choir or processional path and a Lady Chapel; the latter was rebuilt not long afterwards—between the years 1226 and 1246, during the Early English style—with a crypt beneath. Around the middle of the century the clerestory, and probably the vaulting of the choir, were rebuilt, having been damaged by the settling of the central tower. Under Bishop Aquablanca (1240–68), one of Henry III's foreign favourites, the rebuilding of the north transept was begun, being completed later in the same century by Bishop Swinfield, who also built the aisles of the nave and eastern transept.

Here's my xp desktop at work - I'm a client servicing executive at an ad agency and handle a number of clients.

 

I wanted to able to keep my desktop clean, yet have my lists of tasks for each client visible. I created an overlay for wallpapers in Photoshop (download it here - snipurl.com/3u6r5). I then added my wallpaper of choice as the layer beneath that, and voila. Instant GTD goodness!

I've also set my taskbar to auto-hide, and am using RocketDock with the Stacks docklet to reduce clutter.

I decided to sit down and write a list of life after being inspired by a flickr friend.

 

See his here

*************************************************

 

I took this as a challenge to see if I have 100 things I worry enough about to make a list detailing my life. I don’t know if I’m going to make it that far, but… here it goes…

 

Enjoy life – it took me a long time to learn that, and it cost me some health

 

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take – but by the number of times it takes your breath away

 

Birds of a feather flock together – but then again, a pile of crap attracts flies…

 

Be who you want to be, not who you think you should be and definitely not who others think you should be….

 

Manners count!

 

Thank you is a phrase that can make or break a friendship… choose to use it

 

I know I should exercise more – and don’t need reminding (well, maybe I do need a shove)

 

I have dieted – it doesn’t work – the word DIE is in it for a reason….

 

Why be too energetic… smile ~ it takes fewer muscles than a frown!

 

Stop living life in a fantasy world…. Make your dreams a reality!

 

I am a Virgo (not a virgin) ! I tend to find practical uses for things, see what needs to be done and make sure a job is done (preferably done well) ~ I tend to clean up after others, worry about things I need not worry about and people that don’t use common sense tend to irk me…

 

I’m a wealth of useless information, and do well in trivia – did you know that the longest word that if typed with the correct hands/fingers that you can make with your left hand is “stewardesses” – and one of the longest palindromes is “Madam I’m Adam”

 

Chocolate is classified as a vegetable – it is made from cocoa, which comes from a bean. Beans are vegetables; hence chocolate is a vegetable! (it works for me!)

 

After you leave this world, people remember you for what you have and haven’t done – make the conversation interesting!

 

Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth ~ Mark Twain

 

Don’t confuse being a social butterfly with being a societal moth – one is loved by all and the other is a parasite on society….

 

If you are a friend in need, I’d give you the shirt off my back ~ be warned, I’m much bigger than most of my friends, so it may look like an oversized dress on you…..

 

It’s better to be pissed off than pissed on (unless you are into that sort of thing!)

 

I have a somewhat sarcastic sense of humor ~ get over it! Sometimes I’m the only one who thinks what I say is funny, but that’s my opinion!

  

Don’t sweat the petty stuff, it’s much more fun to pet the sweaty stuff!

 

The word is li-brar-y – not li-bear-y…. and it’s pronounce FILM, not fillum…

 

I’ve had a gun pointed at me by a drunk ~ the results weren’t good…. I grabbed it from his hands and beat the crap out of him…. The police agreed it was self defense!

 

I try to accept people for who they are… and to not judge them…. Skin color, religion, drug use, education …. All of these things are exterior… there is a person inside that counts…. You start at ZERO with me and work up (positive is good) or work down (negative numbers piss me off)

 

We live life once ~ do it right the first time!

 

I tend to procrastinate ~ Why put off until tomorrow if you can do it the day after!

 

I enjoy reading… particularly historical fiction… I just find it hard to find the time to enjoy reading…

 

It drives me nuts when people don’t think things through thoroughly…. It drives me nuts that I think too much about stuff… I need a happy medium…

 

Call it a child-like fantasy… poetry should rhyme!

 

I don’t always have a dirty mind, but it is about a 60/40 split. (I borrowed this from someone elses list, but it is true for me too ~ I love the way he put it)

 

I don’t do well with video games ~ I am more of a Sims person or board games

 

I’m odd ~ I admit it… GET OVER IT!

 

I love having pets… I’ve always had animals around me… but… in the past few years have developed an allergy to cats… my aquarium is doing me fine….

 

I love to argue and debate things (sometimes I do it even if I know I’m wrong)

 

When I grow up I want to be …..

 

I find it odd that people pray for things to work, and then are frustrated if their prayers don’t come true… if there is a higher power that you are praying to… you have to understand ‘yes’ is the answer you want….’no’ may be the answer you get!

 

I have driven while being drunk (and am not proud of it) – and am lucky enough to never have been in an accident because of it.

 

I used to work in bars and drunk people amused me… now it seems that most drunks annoy me…. I think I’m getting crankier as I age!

 

I can clean up vomit and snot and it doesn’t usually bother me – if someone has a dirty diaper, get them away from me…. I will gag and wretch when it comes to human bowel movements! (go figger, I can pick up dog poop!)

 

Variety is the spice of life… remember that sometimes blandness is preferred!

 

I wish the media would stop ridiculing celebrities and politicians for the same flaws that the person taking the photographs has… they are humans too… let them make the same mistakes that the rest of us do, and hopefully they learn from them… it doesn’t need to be front page news…

 

I am a softie ~ I bawl at sappy movies…

 

I have watched “A River Wild” more times than I can remember… I have to get it on DVD as the VCR tape is wearing out…

 

I hate horror movies ~ I have a vivid imagination and have ghosts under my bed, boogeyman in my closet, and an axe-murderer roaming the hallway…

 

I love country music… I will listen to almost anything, but return to country music…

 

I am a survivor of the 70’s and 80’s… I ran around outside unsupervised, drank water from the garden hose, hitch-hiked, chewed on a painted crib (probably lead based paint) and swam in a lake and played outside… I’ve shared a drink with friends (not using a straw), ridden in the back of a pick-up truck, rode a bike without a helmet, built a fort out of scrap metal and lumber, and rolled down a hill in a go-cart that had no brakes and not much for steering…

 

I love my new career choice… who would have ever thought I’d be working with street involved people (sex trade workers, drug users, street youth) and loving it… and the best part is that I get more ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ comments than I did when teaching (even in elementary)…

 

I regress… MANNERS COUNT!

 

I’d love to have more money in order to travel… but am not fixated on being rich…

 

It doesn’t matter if a person is rich or poor… it’s how they face reality that gives them the riches of life…

 

Boxers are comfy for sleeping in… but are a bitch to tuck into pants….

 

I’ve swam naked… it’s not skinny dipping… with me it’s more of a “chunky dunk”

 

Flirting is fun! It doesn’t mean we’re going to bed… it’s just fun!

 

Remember to take your camera with you wherever you go and record your life.. some day these photos may be your only memory or link to the life we had… Alzheimer’s is a horrid disease…

 

I love inane sayings – if a tin flute is made of tin then what is a foghorn made of? Why is it that if you tell people there are a billion stars in the sky they believe you but they have to touch the wall if you tell them it is wet paint? Why are people from Poland called Poles and people from Holland not called Holes?

 

Morning people have a warped mind – there is no reason (besides work) that you need to get up before the sun!

 

Blonde is not a hair color, it is a state of mind – some of the blondest people I know have dark hair!

 

You have the right to remain silent ~ consider it sometimes.

 

Everyone should make themselves a life list – a list of 10 – 20 things that they want to do before they die… post is somewhere you see… and you are more likely to make some of them a reality…

 

I am afraid of heights, but love flying in planes and helicopters… and I want to go for a hot air balloon ride.

 

Bungee Jumping ~ DUH ~ not for me! Attach a fat man to a skinny elastic…. Yeah right… NOT going to happen…

 

Please is a one syllable word ~ not ‘Puh – Lease’ (although I love to bug a friend of mine who absolutely HATES it as a two syllable word)

 

Looks don’t mean much to me… but I have a weakness for eyes… there’s no specific color… but some people eyes make me self-conscious… I think I stare at them too much when I talk to the person…

 

Some people march to the beat of their own drum… I dance!

 

I speak English, I write English, I read English… and can usually understand English… sometimes I wish I knew another language… but… I’m happy with what I have….

 

I don’t believe in a “no fail policy” in schools – life is filled with success and failures and you need to have the ability to face all challenges and the knowledge base before moving on. Not everyone needs to “make the team” when it comes to sports… there needs to be punishments to match crimes….

 

I collect red glass and elephants… but I don’t have any red glass elephants yet…

 

And… I repeat… Manners count!

 

I’m not counting this to see if I have 100. It is no time to go to work, so I’m posting it as it is…

Brick Lane Tower Hamlets, East End. Spitalfields. Whitechapel. Londres London

 

Brick Lane (bengalí: ব্রিক লেন) es una larga calle del barrio londinense de Tower Hamlets, en el East End.

La calle pasa por Swanfield Street –al norte de Bethnal Green-, cruza Bethnal Green Road, a través de Spitalfields y enlaza con Whitechapel High Street por el sur a través de Osborn Street. Hoy es el corazón de la comunidad blangladesí de la ciudad de Londres, por lo que la calle es conocida localmente como Banglatown. Anteriormente la calle se llamaba Whitechapel Lane. Su nombre actual deriva de la antigua elaboración de ladrillos y tejas que se inició en el siglo XV y empleaba los yacimientos de arcilla locales.

 

El arte urbano se ha convertido en uno de los mayores atractivos de Brick lane. Cualquier visitante puede encontrar una selección de alta calidad de arte de la calle. Es el epicentro del arte urbano en la ciudad. Artistas de todo el mundo se citan aquí para pintar, con la certeza de encontrar un público agradecido y un gran atractivo.

 

En torno a este atractivo se organizan recorridos guiados. Se pude iniciar en la estación de metro de Aldgate East y finaliza en la Estación de Shoreditch High Street. Se pueden contemplar obras de

Destacan por su contenido las calles Osborne Street, Brick Lane, Princelet, Hanbury Street pero todo es cambiante a lo largo del tiempo al ser un arte callejero y por tanto efímero. Princelet St. es también el antiguo centro de los hugonotes que se establecieron en el East End en la década de 1700. Las casas de la zona son de esta época y muy singulares. Hanbury Street se ha vuelto icónica, este lugar atrae a lo más granado del arte urbano y muchos artistas han pintado este lugar como los conocidos

Continuando por Brick Lane entramos en la Truman Brewery particularmente ocupada durante el fin de semana debido a los mercadillos de comida en la calle y a los bares y restaurantes de curry en la noche. El patio en la parte trasera del edificio, al que se puede acceder desde Brick Lane a través de un pequeño callejón, cuenta con interesantes muestras de arte urbano. Y un montón de lugares para sentarse y relajarse.

Coventry - the Golden Cross

 

The Golden Cross is one of the oldest pubs in Coventry.

 

First mentioned as an inn in 1661, when it was reported as one of 137 inns/alehouses in Coventry, the Golden Cross dates from 1583. The structure of the building is typical of the Tudor style of this period with three vaulted or 'jettied' upper floors. It has close-studding on the upper floors and moulded jetty boards. The finest feature is the 'dragon beam' visible in the ground floor ceiling. This is a large timber beam that enables a jettied first floor to pass round the corner of the building.

 

Today, the Golden Cross stands much modified. A restoration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries used wooden timbers from the original wooden bell bell tower of St Michael's Church. An extension in 1968 substantially changed the interior of the pub, doubling the building's size by extending the gentleman's bar, smoke room and upstairs club room.

 

In February 1955, the Golden Cross was listed by the now-disbanded Coventry City Guild (1914-1961) as a Grade II* listed building of special interest. There are only three buildings like it in the city centre.

 

After suppression of religious houses, inns such as the Golden Cross became important meeting places for city companies. Groups such as the Golden Cross Philanthropic Society, formed in 1859, held regular meetings in the club room upstairs. The society was comprised of well-respected men of society and their aim was to help the poor by raising money for local hospitals, schools etc. The Coventry City Supporters Club also held a meeting at the Golden Cross in 1951. The poet Philip Larkin was a frequent visitor. Since the 1970s, the club room has been associated with live music.

 

The pub stands in the medieval heart of the city close to several other ancient buildings that survived the bombing raids of the Second World War, namely the shell of the old Coventry Cathedral of St Michael, St Mary's Guild Hall and Holy Trinity Church.

The public house is probably named after the nearby Coventry Cross. The new monument is 100 metres from the original position in Broadgate and Cross Cheaping. In 1422 a cross was set up at the south end of Cross Cheaping; it may not have been the first on the site. This was replaced in 1543 by a magnificent monument, for which Sir William Holles had left £200 in his will.

 

This Coventry Cross was erected some 40 years before the Golden Cross public house. In 1668-9 it was refurbished, painted in bright colours and smothered in gold leaf, to the point that it was painful to look at on a sunny day. It had an hexagonal base and was 57 feet high, with niches containing statues of saints and kings. It fell into decay and was demolished in 1771.

Loved this alternative festive season to-do list.

Beautiful redevelopment of former Grade II listed town hall incorporating sensitive contemporary design complementing the original Edwardian/Art Deco features. A modern extension is covered in a metal laser-cut 'skin', in a pattern inspired by the Art Deco metal ornamentation still evident in the remaining council chamber. RIBA Award Winner 2011.

 

1939: inside, the furnishings were a triumph of what Pevsner, the Architectural Bible of Britain called a "subtle but expensive Deco style": Australian walnut wood panelling in the council chamber, mahogany panelling for the mayoral office, marble to line the new staircase, even the brass grilles for air vents exemplify the builders’ attention to beauty in every detail. Plans to ornament more rooms were interrupted by the outbreak of war.

 

The building was opened in 1910 by Mayor Charles Fox. As well as the beautiful façade in fine stone, complete with tower and cupola, it was adorned by several sculptures commissioned from Henry Poole. Inside, the Hall was sumptuously decorated, using green and white marble panels on both floor and walls for the grand entrance-hall and imposing staircase. Many of the walls had oak wainscoting while the floors were made of polished teak and the plasterwork decoration was exceptionally fine. The decorative leaded windows contained stained-glass panels with references to famous legends of the area.

I took this photograph in the paddock at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992. It's a 1958 Lister Jaguar with no race number and didn't take part in the HGPCA Sports Car Race at this meeting - in fact there are no Lister Jaguars listed in the race at this meeting. I have photos of the car I took at Oulton Park in 1987 where it was entered by Aidan Mills-Thomas and is shown in the programme of that event as a Lister Jaguar with a 3,781cc engine. WTM446 has a chequered history. The car was apparently severely damaged at one point, to the extent that it's registration number (WTM 446) and chassis number (BHL126) were transferred to another Lister Jaguar. This change of identity was subsequently disputed, and the result was an extremely expensive court case in which the judge finally decided that it was not his place to decide such a matter. The court case is referred to in this description of the other car involved, a 1963 Lister Jaguar GT Prototype. The DVLA record currently shows no result for WTM446.

The Grade I Listed ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, in Glastonbury, Somerset.

 

The Saxons, who had been converted to Christianity, conquered the ancient county of Somerset in the 7th Century. Their King was Ine of Wessex, who was widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of the abbey. He was a local man who boosted the status and income of the abbey, and it is said that he put up a stone church, the base of which forms the west end of the nave.

 

This church was enlarged in the 10th century by the Abbot of Glastonbury, St. Dunstan, who became the Archbishop of Canterbury in 960. In 1066, the wealth of the abbey could not cushion the Saxon monks from the disruption caused by the foreign invasion and subsequent conquest of England by the Normans.

 

Skilled Norman craftspeople contributed much to the abbey by adding magnificent buildings to the existing Saxon Church. These were built to the east of the older church and away from the ancient cemetery. The Norman betterment of the abbey was extensive. In 1086, when the Domesday Book was commissioned to provide records and a census of life in England, Glastonbury Abbey was the richest monastery in the country.

 

The great Norman structures were consumed by fire in 1184 when many of the ancient treasures were destroyed. One story goes, that in order to raise extra funds from pilgrims to rebuild the abbey the monks, in 1191, dug to find King Arthur and his Queen Guinevere; and bones from two bodies were raised from a deep grave in, the cemetery on the south side of the Lady Chapel. These bones were reburied, much later, in 1278 within the Abbey Church, in a black marble tomb, in the presence of King Edward I.

 

When the monastic buildings were destroyed in the fire of 1184, the medieval monks needed to find a new place to worship. There is evidence that the 12th century nave was renovated and used for this purpose for almost 30 years, until some of the work was completed on the new church. The monks reconsecrated the Great Church and began services there on Christmas Day, 1213, most likely before it was entirely completed.

 

In the 14th century, as the head of the second wealthiest abbey in Britain (behind Westminster Abbey), the Abbot of Glastonbury lived in considerable splendour and wielded tremendous power. The main surviving example of this power and wealth is to be found in the Abbot's Kitchen - part of the magnificent Abbot's house begun by John de Breynton (1334-42). Privileged pilgrims might once have stayed in the abbey itself; excavations have disclosed a special apartment at the south end of the Abbot's house, erected for a visit from the English King, Henry VII.

 

In 1536, during the 27th year of the reign of Henry VIII, there were over 800 monasteries, nunneries and friaries in Britain. By 1541, there were none. More than 10,000 monks and nuns had been dispersed and the buildings had been seized by the Crown to be sold off or leased to new lay occupiers. Glastonbury Abbey was one of principal victims of this action by the King, during the social and religious upheaval known as the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

For a fun interlude, this is a 2nd-take image based off of one of my popular pics posted here on flickr in the last year+. This particular image was done with the help of the FaceApp application, where I took a photo of the original "2013-10-01-pic4" pic I've posted here, then just applied a very modest filter. This was done to help for example with the poor lighting or graininess in the original, to enhance the makeup just a tad, and to have some fun. What do you think? How do I look? :-)

Description

 

Anglican church. Early-C13 transepts, crossing and lower stage of the tower are in the Early English style. The early-C14 upper stages of the tower, nave, arcades and aisles are in the Decorated style, and the late-C15 chancel, clerestory, panelled battlements, north porch and the west end of the nave are Perpendicular. The spire was added in 1763 by William Hiorn of Warwick, designed by Timothy Lightoler. The church was restored in 1836-7 and 1839-41 by the Worcester architect Harvey Eginton, and in 1884-98 by George Frederick Bodley and Thomas Garner. C20 and C21 alterations, repairs and additions. Not included in the listing is the C21 single-storey extension parallel to the south aisle.

 

MATERIALS: it is constructed of squared and coursed local stone, including Arden stone, Blue Lias stone, Cotswold limestone and Hornton stone. The dressings are predominantly of Hornton stone. The spire is built of Warwick stone. The roofs are covered in lead.

 

PLAN: has a cruciform plan with a five-bay ‘weeping chancel’, (the chancel represents Christ’s leaning head as he died on the cross), a central crossing with tower and spire above, two-bay transepts and a six-bay nave with arcade and lean-to aisles, and a north porch. There is an early-C21 single-storey addition accessed from the south aisle which runs parallel to the nave.

 

EXTERIOR: the gabled west end is flanked by offset buttress and is set forward of the lean-to north and south aisles. The C15 four-centred arched doorway has a C15 door with Perpendicular tracery. Above is a continuous moulded cill band and three inset niches with crocketted pinnacles set within the large, Perpendicular, west window. The south aisle windows comprise three, three-light windows with Decorated tracery and a Perpendicular window and a smaller two-light window to the east bay. The bays are articulated by offset buttress, each with gablets and crocketted finials which rise above the parapet, beneath which are cylindrical water spouts. The arcaded clerestory windows are closely set and surmounted by a battlement.

 

The gabled south and north transepts each have a five-light, traceried window within a two-centred arch and a spherical triangular window above. The angled, offset buttresses are surmounted by a diagonally-set shaft with gablets, blind tracery and head stops to the base of each pinnacle. To the side elevations are lancet windows, and to the east side of the south transept is a lateral stack with a C19 monument to its base.

 

The five-bay chancel is articulated by offset buttresses which rise to form diagonal shafts carved with blind tracery with decorative hoodmoulds, and each surmounted by a gargoyle. The diagonal, offset buttresses to the east end have C21 gargoyles and crocketted pinnacles. The eight-light side windows and the seven-light east window have Perpendicular tracery and are set within double-chamfered arches with decorative hoodmoulds with crockets and insect-form label stops. The chancel has a continuous moulded plinth and battlements with blind tracery with a stone cross to the apex of the gabled east end. To the south side of the chancel is the C15 priest’s door with four-centred arched head and restored tracery. Above the Gothic arched doorway is an elaborately crocketted hoodmould.

 

The north aisle has a moulded plinth, offset buttresses and a coped parapet. The three-light windows have varied tracery and show a progression in date from east to west. The west window of the north aisle is interrupted by the C15 two-storied north porch. This has a moulded plinth with carved quatrefoils and substantial offset diagonal buttresses. The central C17 battened and studded north door is set within a two-centred arch of three orders with a three-light traceried window above with flanking niches. The battlements have a central cross to the apex and decorative pinnacles to the corners. There is a single cusped light with crocketted hood to the east and west elevation, and a stair turret to the west side.

 

The lower stage of the tower has small, early-C13, round-headed windows. There are C13 two-light belfry windows to the middle stage, and C14 rose windows to the upper stage. To the south-west corner is a stair turret. The tower has a decorative eaves cornice with battlements above and square pedestals with blind tracery and crocketted pinnacles to the corners. The octagonal C18 spire has three tiers of arched openings. There are several C18 rainwater heads.

 

INTERIOR: the north entrance leads into the late-C15 north porch which has a rib vaulted ceiling with angel corbels to the four corners and a central boss depicting Christ in Majesty (mutilated at the time of the Reformation). There are the mutilated remains of a holy water stoup to each of the four corners of the porch. To the east and the west wall is a stone bench and a single splayed window, set within otherwise blind arcading with ogee heads. The inner doors are late C15, with linenfold and traceried panels and a C13 sanctuary knocker. From the north aisle a newel stair leads to the first floor of the porch which has a fireplace and moulded beams.

 

The nave has a five-bay arcade of early-C14 hexagonal piers with moulded capitals and double-chamfered two-centred arches. The spandrels have blind arcading with cusped heads, with the late-C15 arcade of clerestory windows above. Cluster wall shafts run from the carved angel corbels above each pier to the brattished corbels that support the nave roof. The restored C15 roof comprises moulded principal rafters and ties beams with traceried arch braces, and the panelled ceiling is decorated with bosses. At the west end of the nave is the C19 font, a replica of the medieval font in the chancel, and at the east end is a dark green Italian marble pulpit with figures in white alabaster by Bodley and Garner (1900). Above the crossing arch is a Gothic organ case, also by Bodley and Garner, and installed in 1898. At the south-east corner of the nave is a stair turret to the belfry, with a Perpendicular door and the remnants of medieval wall painting.

 

The north aisle has a restored roof, an inserted shop at the west end, and a C19 screen to the Clopton Chapel at its east end with linenfold panels, arched heads, vine leaf cornice and brattishing. The Clopton Chapel contains many elaborate tombs and memorials, including Hugh Clopton’s chest tomb set within the arch between the chapel and the nave and comprising two four-centred, panelled arches; that to the west is narrower with concave-sided, octagonal piers, blind tracery, Tudor rose cornice and brattishing. The chest tomb on the east wall is to Hugh Clopton’s eldest daughter Joyce, and her husband Thomas Carew, who was King James I’s Master of Ordnance and comprises two recumbent effigies under a coffered round arch with flanking Corinthian columns supporting angels, and the coats of arms above. On the front panels is a bas-relief of powder barrels, cannon balls, guns and a flag. To the north wall, the chest tomb of William and Anne Clopton has two recumbent effigies and a panel above depicting their seven children and coats of arms. The north window of the chapel contains fragments of medieval glass.

 

The south aisle has a C14 roof of moulded beams supported on corbel heads. The chantry chapel at its east end was removed following the Reformation, and the sedilia to the south wall are late-C19 replicas.

 

The octagonal crossing is supported on four cluster piers with chamfered arches. It has a C19 rib vaulted ceiling with gilded Green Man corbels and a central boss of the Holy Trinity, from which hangs an early-C18 chandelier.

 

The medieval rood screen has been relocated to the north transept (to shield the choir vestry), and the carved heads that have been applied to it are the ceiling bosses from the original C13 chancel roof.

 

The screen to the south transept (St Peter’s Chapel and vestry) is an early-C20 First World War memorial.

 

The heavily restored C15 rood screen has tracery heads and vine-leaf cornice and brattishing. The chancel has a hammer beam roof with carved angels and shields, supported on corbel heads. Between the side windows are blind crocketted window heads. The east window is flanked by C15 niches with insect-form corbels and crocketted hoods; the statues (1893) are by Farmer and Brindley to the designs of Bodley and Garner. The choir stalls have C19 backs by Bodley and Garner, but the seats with carved angels on the ends of the armrests and richly-carved misericords with a range of domestic scenes, mythical beasts and foliate motifs are late C15. The north door, now blocked externally, has an elaborately carved hoodmould showing St Christopher with the infant Jesus on the left and the Resurrection on the right. To the left of the door is the mutilated medieval font. The priest’s door to the south wall has a crocketted hoodmould. The piscina and sedilia to the left have elaborately carved canopies with ogee arches and crocketted finials. Underneath the two canopies to the left are carved Tudor roses, whilst that to the right has a carved head of Christ or the vernicle. Beneath the sedilia and the piscina are carved busts of angels. The C19 altar has a traceried front and reredos and is surmounted with the mensa (altar top) from the medieval altar in the chantry chapel. The brass altar rail is C19. The five Shakespeare family ledger stones now form the second chancel step. That to William Shakespeare is inscribed:

 

GOOD FREND FOR JESUS SAKE FORBEARE

TO DIGG THE DUST ENCLOASED HEARE

BLESTE BE THE MAN THAT SPARES THES STONES

AND CURST BE HE THAT MOVES MY BONES.

 

The monument to Shakespeare is on the north wall of the chancel and is attributed to Gheerart Janssen of Southwark. It comprises a demi-figure of Shakespeare set within an aedicule with coffered round arch and Corinthian columns. Above is the coat of arms granted to the Shakespeare family in the late 1590s with a cherub to either side; one holding an inverted torch and the other a spade. The whole is topped by a skull. Other memorials in the chancel include the chest tomb of Dean Balshall (d.1491) with canopied relief scenes of the Passion and the Resurrection to the side panels; the chest tomb of John Coombe (d.1614) by Gheerart Janssen with a recumbent effigy under a round arch, a strapwork frame to the inscription panel and flanking Corinthian columns, cornice and obelisks to either side of an armorial panel; a memorial tablet to Judith and Richard Coombe (d.1649) by Thomas Stanton and similar to the memorial to Shakespeare, it has two busts holding hands, and three armorial cartouches over a segmental pediment; memorial to James Kendall (d.1751) and his wife, Jane (d.1769) by Rysbrack. There are many other good C16, C17, C18 and C19 wall tablets and ledger stones throughout, as well as a First World War memorial plaque in the south transept engraved with a poem by Rudyard Kipling.

 

Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (‘the Act’) it is declared that the early C21 single-storey addition attached to the south aisle is not of special architectural or historic interest and is not included in the listing.

History

 

There is documentary evidence that the Church of the Holy Trinity is built on the site of a C9 monastery, but the earliest surviving fabric of the church are the early-C13 transepts, crossing and tower. The tower was raised and partially reconstructed in c1310, with the remodelling of the crossing arches at the same time. In the 1320s the nave, and the north and south aisle were rebuilt. The chantry chapel of St Thomas of Canterbury (south aisle) was founded in 1331 by the Bishop of Winchester, John de Stratford, for a college of five priests. The college was confirmed by a grant by Henry VI in 1415 and the Church of the Holy Trinity became a collegiate church. In the late C15 the chancel was entirely rebuilt by Dean Thomas Balshall, who died in 1491 and his tomb, which had been built several years earlier, sits against the north wall of the chancel. Further alterations to the church were probably carried out by Balshall’s successor, Dean Ralph Collingwood, who died in 1521 or 1522, and included the rebuilding of the west end of the nave, the clerestory and the north porch. A charnel house, built to the north of the chancel, was probably built at this time, as suggested by a late-C15 doorway (now blocked externally) in the north wall of the chancel, but had been demolished by 1799. The stone spire was added in 1763 by William Hiorn of Warwick to a Gothic design by Timothy Lightoler, and is said to have replaced a wooden spire.

 

In 1547, during the Reformation, the college at the church was dissolved and the right to collect the tithes was sold off. William Shakespeare, who was baptised at the church on the 26 April 1564 (the medieval font was restored to the church in 1872), purchased a share in the tithes in 1605 and this is argued to have permitted him the right of burial in the chancel. However, evidence of other parishioners’ burials in the chancel, that did not hold tithes, suggests that payment of a fee to the vicar was the determining factor. Shakespeare was buried at Holy Trinity Church on the 25 April 1616 and the inscription on the ledger stone includes a curse to prevent his bones being removed to the charnel house. His wife, Ann Hathaway, daughter Suzanna, son-in-law Dr John Hall, and Thomas Nash (the first husband of Shakespeare's granddaughter Elizabeth) are buried in the chancel alongside him. Within a few years of Shakespeare’s death a memorial was erected on the north wall of the chancel.

 

By 1618 the chancel was described as ‘ruinous’, and in the early C19 it was boarded off from the rest of the church. The church underwent a programme of restoration in 1836-7 and 1839-41 by the Worcester architect Harvey Eginton and included the replacement of the roof coverings of the nave and the chancel, the construction of a new high altar, repaving the chancel and new pews and galleries. As part of Eginton’s work, the chancel steps were altered and the Shakespeare ledger stones were reduced in length by 600mm. William Butterfield was approached to undertake further restoration work in the mid-C19 but following concerns from the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), he declined the commission. The architect J T Micklethwaite subsequently produced a report on the church and further restorations were undertaken by Bodley and Garner from 1884 to 1898. This included the removal of much of Eginton’s work, as well as the addition of the organ, new panelling behind the choir stalls, repaving of the chancel, the insertion of modern sculptures of saints in the medieval niches on the east wall and the opening up of the window behind the Shakespeare memorial.

 

In 2015 a single-storey extension was added to the south elevation of the south aisle to provide ancillary facilities.

Reasons for Listing

 

The Church of the Holy Trinity, a C13 church with later alterations and additions, is listed at Grade I for the following principal reasons:

 

* Historic interest: as the burial place of the nationally, and internationally, important playwright and poet, William Shakespeare, whose ledger stone and contemporary memorial in the chancel survive intact;

* Survival of medieval fabric: the church has fabric from the C13, C14, C15 and C16, including evidence of medieval wall painting, C15 misericords, and other pre-Reformation fixtures and fittings;

* Architectural interest: the restoration work to the church in the mid-to late-C19, firstly by Eginton and then by Bodley and Garner represents a significant phase in the building’s history;

* Artistic interest: a high quality of craftsmanship to both the medieval and C19 fabric.

This car competed in the Historic Car Championship Race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1992 and I took the photograph during a practice session. It's the 1958 Lister Jaguar of the late Steve O'Rourke, former manager of the Pink Floyd rock band. The car has the 3,781cc version of the 6-cylinder inline Jaguar XK6 engine. Originally a works car, chassis BHL2, it was sold at the end of 1959 and eventually ended up with Mike Wright who competed with the car but wrote it off in a road accident. The remains in time came to John Pearson who used the parts to construct a replica which was sold to Steve O'Rourke in 1989.
