Looking out from the top of the tower at St Laurence's Church, a Grade I Listed building and the largest parish church in Ludlow, Shropshire. It was one of only 18 churches given a five-star rating in England's Thousand Greatest Churches by Simon Jenkins (1999) and is described as the "cathedral of the Marches". It is the 13th most popular free visitor attraction in the West Midlands, with 70,000 visitors per year.

 

The parish church was established as a place of worship in association with the founding of Ludlow by the Normans in the late 11th century. It is situated atop the hill around which the medieval town developed. The church was rebuilt in the year 1199 and has had several later additions and modifications. The tower is 135 feet (41 metres) high and commands expansive views of the town and surrounding countryside. Notable features include an extensive set of misericords in the choir stalls as well as fine stained glass windows.

 

Original Norman traces were found beneath the south porch, indicating some extant foundations exist from the 11th century AD. After its initial construction the church was expanded and rebuilt in 1199 to accommodate a growing town population. In the late Middle Ages considerable wealth accrued to the town based upon the wool trade. Correspondingly the church underwent several further additions in that era. The major works occurred between 1433 and 1471 with a virtual re-building of the nave, tower and chancel elements. The tower took on a Perpendicular style which was the preferred style of the late 15th century in England. The Saint John's Chapel on the north side was the chapel of the Palmers Guild, which thrived in the Late Middle Ages. The Palmers' Window within St John's Chapel illustrates the legend of King Edward the Confessor and St John the Evangelist by eight panels and was inspired by the Ludlow Palmers’ 13th century pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

 

In 1540, John Leland called the church very Fayre and large and richly adorned and taken for the Fayrest in all these parts.

 

The large east window of the chancel underwent restoration in the year 1832; this window depicts the martyrdom of St Laurence. The most extensive modern repairs and rehabilitation occurred in the period 1859 to 1861, which consisted primarily of interior modifications. Further major restorations took place between 1870 and 1909, including that on the tower in 1889-91, and to the roof in 1953-59.

BUCKFASTLEIGH

 

Parish church. Spectacularly sited on a high hill and some distance from the town below. C13 tower; chancel and transepts possibly also C13 in origin; C15 aisles and chancel chapels. Thorough restoration of 1844-45 to the designs of John Hayward of Exeter included new roofs and the upper part of the spire; severely damaged by fire on 20th of July, 1992. Smooth cement-rendered (probably C19), the tower with earlier roughcast (spire also roughcast); granite dressings; purple natural slate C19 roofs with crested ridge tiles (except chancel); cast-iron rainwater goods with Art Nouveau designs on the hoppers. Plan: nave; chancel; W tower; N and S chancel chapels; N and S transepts, N used as organ chamber; 4-bay lean-to aisles; S porch; vestry to centre N. EXTERIOR: C19 in texture and detail; most of the window mullions appear to have been renewed, several are variants on the uncusped design with round-headed sub-arches, possibly early C18 in date (cf Kelly parish church). The chancel, lower roof than the nave, has a coped gable with a big C19 foliated cross; 3-light Early English style E window with pointed uncusped sub-arches; 2 small chamfered lancets to N & S sides. S side has a probably C13 Early English hollow-chamfered doorway predating the chancel chapel with a probably C16 plank and studded door with a central cover strap over the hinges. 3 windows in the nave gable; 3-light in the centre with uncusped sub-arches, flanked by roundels. S chancel chapel has set-back buttresses with granite set-offs and an embattled parapet; E and S 3-light Perpendicular style traceried windows. N chancel chapel with plain parapet rising as gable to the east. E & N windows similar to S chapel but N window with crude replaced mullions; octagonal C15 rood loft stair turret abuts N chancel chapel on N side. S transept has E and S 3-light windows with round-headed uncusped lights. N transept has a square-headed 2-light E window, probably C16 in origin with cusped lights. High-set Georgian 2-light arched timber N window with intersecting glazing bars, probably to light a former gallery. N aisle has 2 unusual 4-light windows with depressed 4-centred arched heads, uncusped round-headed lights and a small round-headed light in the apex. N vestry has 3-light E window with round-headed uncusped lights. S aisle has two 3-light square-headed uncusped lights. S aisle has two 3-light square-headed windows (heads renewed) with round-headed lights and rustic carving in the spandrels; W window of 3 plain round-headed lights. 3-stage W tower with no string-courses or pinnacles. Shallow set-back buttresses and a plain corbelled parapet give an effect of vertical panels to each face. 5-sided N stair turret with an embattled parapet and slit windows. W face has a hollow-chamfered arched doorway with a C19 or C20 W door; 3-light Early English style W window with uncusped sub-arches. 2-light square=headed belfry windows to W and S faces with trefoil-headed lights; long slit window to S face. Somewhat irregular spire dating from Hayward's restoration. S porch has plain arched outer doorway with c1840s 2-leaf door with flush panels below the middle rail and slats above. Inside, the porch has a 2-bay 1844 roof matching the nave and chancel, stone benches and a double-chamfered medieval inner doorway with ribbed stops. 2-leaf late C18/early C19 panelled inner door. INTERIOR: plastered walls. Arcades with octagonal piers with double hollow-chamfered arches and capitals; similar arches into chancel chapels from the aisles and chancel. 2 of the N aisle piers are monoliths and may be C19. Very tall, narrow plain tower arch. Wide, double hollow-chamfered chancel arch on moulded granite corbels which do not match one another. Roofs of the 1840s by Hayward: 8-bay arch-braced nave roof with a ridgeboard and 2 tiers of windbraces; similar 2-bay transept roofs; unceiled lean-to aisle roofs might post-date Hayward's work. Blocked C15 doorway to rood loft stair. Plain arched sedilia; aumbry and piscina in the chancel, probably to Hayward's designs. Fittings: fine Norman font re-sited in the S transept with a carved freestone bowl with some remains of colouring on its original cylindrical stem with 4 added shafts. Probably late C18 domed font cover. Late C19 timber drum pulpit with blind tracery decoration. Fine set of box pews, mostly of 1844 with blind traceried doors, one painted with 'reserved for ringers'. The W end pews are probably earlier with panelled doors and are banked up to the W end. Chancel with C19 brass communion rail with foliage decoration and C20 choir stalls. Memorials: two C17 slate slabs set into the floor, one in the chancel and one in the S transept. Stained glass: an interesting set, mostly by Beer of Exeter, the E window of the S chancel chapel probably by Beer and Driffield. Unfortunately the backgrounds of several of the windows have been removed, leaving the figures isolated. S window of the S transept by Powell & Son, designed HE Wooldridge (Pevsner). An early medieval church. The 1844-45 restoration and the Beer stained glass represent an unusual combination of local architect and craftsman. The undated and unsigned architect's drawing in the porch shows the proposal to re-site the font in the S transept. Historical note: John Hayward of Exeter was the leading local Gothic Revival church architect in the Exeter diocese in the 1840s and 1850s.

8/228 Bridge at Teignbridge - Crossing 23.8.55 - II

 

Road bridge over Stover Canal. Dated 1798. Coursed stone to impost level with rusticated stone jambs. Flemish bond buff-coloured brick above. Segmental brick arch with yellow terracotta keystones with goats head mask on north side and Neptune mask on south side. Brick string course at road level and pilaster strips flanking in abutments. Brick parapets with rounded granite coping. Parapet appears to be rebuilt on the south side. Tablet at centre of north parapet inscribed:- "Erected by order of Thomas Taylor Esq., Thomas Love Esq., Thomas Kitson and Rev.B.W.Wrey. Magistrates of this County 1798". 2 pairs of cast iron circular moulded tie plates in the spandrels. Stover Canal was built by James Templer of Stover House q.v. 1790-92, the engineer was Thomas Gray of Exeter. It was improved by George Templer in 1824 when the locks were rebuilt in granite. The canal was nearly 2 miles long and joined the River Teign at Jetty Marsh near Newton Abbot where barges passed through the dredged Whitelake Channel to the estuary of the River Teign. The canal was a private venture and was built to transport Haytor granite after the Haytor granite tramway had been built in 1820. Reference: Charles Hadfield, The Canals of South West England, pp.118 to 122.

The Stover Canal is a canal located in Devon, England. It was opened in 1792 and served the ball clay industry until it closed in the early 1940s. Today it is derelict, but the Stover Canal Society is aiming to restore it and reopen it to navigation.

 

The canal was built at a time when the ball clay industry was expanding, but transport of the bulky product was difficult. James Templer (1748–1813) of Stover House, Teigngrace, saw this as an opportunity, and began to construct the canal at his own expense in January 1790. He planned to reach Bovey Tracey, passing through Jewsbridge, near Heathfield en route, and to construct a branch to Chudleigh. Having invested over £1,000 in the project, he sought an Act of Parliament which would allow him to raise more capital, but although the Act was passed on 11 June 1792, he did not invoke its powers, as the canal had already reached Ventiford, Teigngrace and he did not extend it further.

 

As built, the canal was 1.7 miles (2.7 km) long and included five locks. It was supplied with water from three feeders, one from Ventiford Brook, a stream which also supplies Stover Lake (now in Stover Country Park) and one from the River Bovey at Jewsbridge, both of which fed the top pound, and one from the River Teign at Fishwick, which entered the canal just below lock 4. The exit from the canal was on to the tidal Whitelake channel, and from there to the River Teign and the docks. The first three locks did not originally have side walls, but used earth banks instead, which were replaced with timber or brick walls in due course. The Graving Dock lock was only 56 ft (17 m) long, and so could take a single barge, but all the others were long enough to take two barges end to end. The first Jetty Marsh lock was much bigger, at 215 ft long and 45 ft wide (65m by 13.7m), but carries the inscription Duke of Somerset, 1841, and so it would appear that it was reconstructed as a basin, so that barges could wait in it for the tide. The Graving Dock lock is probably unique in the United Kingdom, in that it was reconstructed with a dock at its side, which could be used as a dry dock when the lock was empty. Both Jetty Marsh lock and Graving Dock lock are currently Grade 2 listed.

Having invested most of his capital in the project, James Templer was rewarded by the success of the canal. A major contract with Josiah Wedgwood and Sons was re-established in 1798. Wedgwood remained the major recipient of the ball clay until 1815, after which trade was established with other pottery manufacturers and other ports.

 

Route of the canal in relation to other relevant features

James' son, George Templer built the Haytor Granite Tramway to connect his granite quarries at Haytor Rocks to the canal basin at Ventiford. It opened on 16 September 1820,and for the next 40 years, the traffic in granite supplemented the ball clay trade. The canal was sold in 1829 by George Templer, along with the Stover estate and the quarries and tramway, to Edward St Maur, 11th Duke of Somerset (1775-1855).When plans to build the Moretonhampstead and South Devon Railway were proposed, his son the 12th Duke of Somerset, who by then had inherited the Stover estate, sought to sell both the canal and the trackbed of the derelict Granite Tramway to the fledgling railway company.It was duly sold for £8,000 on 4 June 1862, by which time the section above Teignbridge was effectively redundant, and so the railway company was not required to maintain it.However, the section up to Graving Dock lock was retained, so that users of the canal could still repair their barges, and it was at this point that the new dock was constructed which gave the Graving Dock lock its name. The canal was almost immediately leased to Watts, Blake and Co., a company who sank clay-pits.

 

The canal passed into the ownership of the Great Western Railway in 1877, but continued to be leased to Watts, Blake and Co., who paid a fixed price for its use, and were also required to maintain it. Traffic dwindled and finally ceased in 1937, but Watts, Blake and Company's latest 14-year lease did not end until 1942,and so it was not formally abandoned until March 1943. It remained in water until 1951, when one of the banks was breached, flooding a clay pit..

ITEMS

 

#1 MAIN ITEM. King James Version Gift and Award Bible (also known as Gift & Award Bible, King James Version) by Zondervan Publishing House (2011).

 

Amazon reviewer David M. Hodges describes Zondervan's King James Version Gift and Award Bible and its potential usefulness as follows:

 

The best way to characterize this Bible is as a paperback outreach Bible inside a firmer-than-paperback cover made to look vaguely like leather (the publisher, Zondervan, calls this a "Leather-Look binding." If you're looking for an outreach Bible to give away, but you'd like something that looks a little better than the paperback outreach Bibles, this product may be what you're looking for. (But be aware that the pages inside still look and feel like those in a mass market paperback.) Though the maps, dictionary, and other "Bible Study Helps" would hardly suffice for a serious (expensive) Bible, they do help make this a better-than-standard just-for-outreach Bible. (www.amazon.com/review/R2WDINZ88F4U08/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm, accessed 15 October 2012)

 

Other Amazon reviews (two posted as of the start of this sale, www.amazon.com/King-James-Version-Award-Bible/product-rev..., accessed 15 October 2012) indicate that the Bible gets high marks as a gift/award Bible for children. (Note that the Bible in this sale are black, not purple.) Though the seller rarely interacts with children, he notes this as an additional use for the Bible (Zondervan's primary intended use, one guesses) in case it is of interest to some buyers.

 

A final seller's note: The text is small but legible (see scan; though the scan is not sharp throughout, it does give you an accurate idea of what the text looks like).

Lifetime Dream # 143 of my list of 155: I will create and maintain an autobiography of all of my personal memories that I will be able to pass down to further generations.

 

I lost my last grandparent in June of 2001, my grandmother June. I lost my first grandparent, my father’s mother when I was very young- around 7. My grandfathers died within about 3 years of one another in late 1989 and early 1992. I can remember just about every detail of the deaths of all of my relatives, but I am at a loss to know many of the details of their lives. In fact what I do know about all of them, I learned after they passed away.

 

There is so much history and understanding about them that was just lost. As a lover of History and Genealogy, that makes me all the more sad. I began writing down my memories, categorized by the year that I am writing about. I am including everything that I can remember, from the places I went, the people I met, and the toys I played with. When I can, I include pictures. I want my kids to know everything about me that they possibly can and when I become old and senile- well, I want to remember who I was as well!

 

Pictured here was my first teddy bear, Henry. The wood beads around his neck came from a wood bead kit that I got for Christmas. I remember sleeping with him by my side and playing with him… though I was never so attached that my mom had to pry him out of my arms!

 

terminando el año, toca mirar atrás ...y dejar allí todas esas cosas que no nos lo han puesto fácil, todo lo que nos han dolido o incluso a quién no ha estado ..

Ahora toca mirar adelante, y coger fuerzas para seguir saltando, dejando atrás lo que pesa, lo que estorba...será un año duro? no lo sé, pero seguiré saltando todos esos baches...

  

Scanned from the 12th April 1961 issue of The Motor magazine.

The Grade I Listed remains of Old Sarum a former Iron Age fort, 2 miles north of Salisbury in Wiltshire.

 

The great monoliths of Stonehenge and Avebury were erected nearby and indications of prehistoric settlement have been discovered from as early as 3000 BC. An Iron Age hillfort was erected around 400 BC, controlling the intersection of two native trade paths and the Hampshire Avon. The site continued to be occupied during the Roman period, when the paths became roads. The Saxons took the British fort in the 6th century and later used it as a stronghold against marauding Vikings. The Normans constructed a motte and bailey castle, a stone curtain wall, and a great cathedral. A royal palace was built within the castle for King Henry I and was subsequently used by Plantagenet monarchs. This heyday of the settlement lasted for around 300 years until disputes between the Wiltshire sheriff and the Salisbury bishop finally led to the removal of the church into the nearby plain. As New Salisbury grew up around the construction site for the new cathedral in the early 13th century, the buildings of Old Sarum were dismantled for stone and the old town dwindled. Its long-neglected castle was abandoned by Edward II in 1322 and sold by Henry VIII in 1514.

 

The castle grounds were sold by Henry VIII in 1514. Although the settlement was effectively uninhabited, its landowners continued to have parliamentary representation into the 19th century, making it the most notorious of the rotten boroughs that existed before the Reform Act of 1832. Most famously, Old Sarum served as a pocket borough of the Pitt family.

 

From the reign of Edward II in the 14th century, the 'borough' of Old Sarum elected two members to the House of Commons despite the fact that, from at least the 17th century, it had no resident voters at all. One of the members in the 18th century was William Pitt the Elder. In 1831, Old Sarum had eleven voters, all of whom were landowners who lived elsewhere. This made Old Sarum the most notorious of the rotten boroughs. The 1832 Reform Act completely disfranchised Old Sarum. Old Sarum was an extra-parochial area and became a civil parish in 1858. The civil parish was abolished in 1894.

 

The site of the castle and cathedral is considered a highly important British monument: it was among the 26 English locations scheduled by the 1882 Ancient Monuments Protection Act, the first such British legislation. This protection has subsequently continued, expanding to include some suburban areas west and southeast of the outer bailey.

 

W. H. St J. Hope, W. Hawley, and D.H. Montgomerie excavated the site between 1909 and 1915 for the Society of Antiquaries of London. In 1917, during World War I, a site just northeast of Old Sarum along the Portway was developed as the 'Ford Farm' aerodrome. This became Old Sarum Airfield, which remains in operation with a single grass runway. A second excavation occurred in the 1950s under John W G Musty and Philip Rahtz.

 

In 2014, an on-site geophysical survey of the inner and outer bailey by the University of Southampton revealed its royal palace, as well as the street plan of the medieval city. The survey made use of soil resistivity to electric current, electrical resistivity tomography, magnetometry, and ground-penetrating radar. The team planned to return in 2015 to complete a similar survey of the Romano-British site located south of the hillfort.

Lifetime Dream # 43 of my list of 155: I will compose a book and have it published. I will review different media types such as coffee table books, fiction and photo books. I will have the book assigned an ISBN#, available to be purchased through any book store.

 

Writing has always been a passion of mine. In fact, my first story was written when I was 7. I still remember typing away at the type writer in the kitchen of my parent’s house. If only it didn’t border copy right laws of George Lucas movies, I probably would have had my parents send it off!

 

As it is, I am publishing my journal as an art book, hopefully sometime this spring. It will be a collection of all 3,000 pages of my first journal. Though I doubt many (if any) will sell, I’ll probably do the same thing for my second journal as well!

 

Pictured: I am in post-production of the final pages of my journal. Half the journey is writing the experiences and journeys on the page; the second part of finishing the page. I emboss the page numbers, erase the pencil lines, color in the pictures, scan the pages… it’s a process for sure. The paint brush I use to brush off the eraser shavings- they love to stick to hands. In the bottom left is a test page of the layout for production of the journal!

Plot[edit]

 

In 1939, the Germans move Polish Jews into the Kraków Ghetto as World War

 

II begins. Oskar Schindler, an ethnic German, arrives in the city hoping

 

to make his fortune. A member of the Nazi Party, Schindler lavishes

 

bribes on Wehrmacht (German armed forces) and SS officials and acquires a

 

factory to produce enamelware. To help him run the business, Schindler

 

enlists the aid of Itzhak Stern, a local Jewish official who has contacts

 

with black marketeers and the Jewish business community. Stern helps

 

Schindler arrange loans to finance the factory. Schindler maintains

 

friendly relations with the Nazis and enjoys wealth and status as "Herr

 

Direktor", and Stern handles administration. Schindler hires Jewish

 

workers because they cost less, while Stern ensures that as many people

 

as possible are deemed essential to the German war effort, which saves

 

them from being transported to concentration camps or killed.

SS-Untersturmführer (second lieutenant) Amon Goeth arrives in Kraków to

 

oversee construction of Płaszów concentration camp. When the camp is

 

completed, he orders the ghetto liquidated. Many people are shot and

 

killed in the process of emptying the ghetto. Schindler witnesses the

 

massacre and is profoundly affected. He particularly notices a tiny girl

 

in a red coat – one of the few splashes of color in the black-and-white

 

film – as she hides from the Nazis. When he later sees the red coat on a

 

wagon loaded with bodies being taken away to be burned, he knows the girl

 

is dead. Schindler is careful to maintain his friendship with Goeth and,

 

through bribery and lavish gifts, continues to enjoy SS support. Goeth

 

brutally mistreats his maid and randomly shoots people from the balcony

 

of his villa, and the prisoners are in constant daily fear for their

 

lives. As time passes, Schindler's focus shifts from making money to

 

trying to save as many lives as possible. He bribes Goeth into allowing

 

him to build a sub-camp for his workers so that he can better protect

 

them.

As the Germans begin to lose the war, Goeth is ordered to ship the

 

remaining Jews at Płaszów to Auschwitz concentration camp. Schindler asks

 

Goeth to allow him to move his workers to a new munitions factory he

 

plans to build in his home town of Zwittau-Brinnlitz. Goeth agrees, but

 

charges a huge bribe. Schindler and Stern create "Schindler's List" – a

 

list of people to be transferred to Brinnlitz and thus saved from

 

transport to Auschwitz.

As Schindler's workers begin to arrive at the new site, the train

 

carrying the women is accidentally redirected to Auschwitz. Schindler

 

bribes the commandant of Auschwitz with a bag of diamonds to win their

 

release. At the new factory, Schindler forbids the SS guards to enter the

 

production areas and encourages the Jews to observe the Sabbath. To keep

 

his workers alive, he spends much of his fortune bribing Nazi officials

 

and buying shell casings from other companies; his factory does not

 

produce any usable armaments during its seven months of operation.

 

Schindler runs out of money just as Germany surrenders, ending the war in

 

Europe.

As a Nazi Party member and war profiteer, Schindler must flee the

 

advancing Red Army to avoid capture. The SS guards have been ordered to

 

kill the Jews, but Schindler persuades them to return to their families

 

as men, not murderers. He bids farewell to his workers and prepares to

 

head west, hoping to surrender to the Americans. The workers give

 

Schindler a signed statement attesting to his role saving Jewish lives,

 

together with a ring engraved with a Talmudic quotation: "Whoever saves

 

one life saves the world entire." Schindler is touched but is also deeply

 

ashamed, as he feels he should have done even more. As the Schindlerjuden

 

(Schindler Jews) awaken the next morning, a Soviet soldier announces that

 

they have been liberated. The Jews leave the factory and walk to a nearby

 

town.

After some scenes depicting Goeth's execution and a summary of

 

Schindler's later life, the black-and-white frame changes to a color shot

 

of actual Schindlerjuden at Schindler's grave in Jerusalem. Accompanied

 

by the actors who portrayed them, the Schindlerjuden place stones on the

 

grave. In the final scene, Neeson places a pair of roses on the grave.
