Love the peace and quiet of this place, not to mention its location (virtually a church on the beach!).
The Grade I listed parish church of Gunwalloe in Cornwall has parts dating back to the 13th century and also has a Norman font.
Thankfully, its located alongside some protective cliffs but it still is exposed and has been a target for the fierce storms that can all too often batter this stretch of the Cornish coast.
Not for nothing that many call it by its nickname 'The Church of the Storms'.
To Do List:
-make chandelier wall sconces for back wall
- paint pattern on floor
- paint ceiling, still deciding how
-prime all walls after glueing
Oh.... I could go on.....
This was the other costume I wanted to do for the Halloween shoot. Yeah, yeah played out but it was one of my bucket list items to do. We first tried the blonde look to see how that work followed by the black china cut wig (as previously photographed).
A lot of fun for this outfit shoot. Might do another rendition in the near future 💅 💄

The Grade II* Listed Old Defensible Barracks, Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire.
A Victorian-era 20-sided stone fort surrounded by a dry moat with masonry walls. A parade ground occupies the centre of the fort. It was built in the mid-1840s to house the Royal Marines based in Pembroke Dockyard and to protect the dockyard.
The barracks were built in 1841–46 to house the dockyard's garrison of Royal Marines and to cover the landward side of the dockyard from an infantry assault. It was probably the last trace bastion fort built in Europe. Prior to the Defensible Barracks' construction, the Royal Marines were housed in the hulked 74-gun ship, HMS Dragon, that had been deliberately run aground in 1832.
The barracks is in the form of a square bastion trace with four two-storey, barracks ranges surrounding the central parade ground. "The enclosed yard remains notable for being the finest Georgian-style square in Wales". A fortified gatehouse is in the middle of the north wall. The moat is about 16 feet (4.9 m) deep and 42 feet (12.8 m) wide and is crossed by a fixed modern steel bridge that replaced the original wooden sliding drawbridge that leads to the gatehouse.
The scarp or inner wall of the moat rises above the height of the platform to serve as a parapet with musketry loopholes, except at the salient angles of the bastions to allow the guns mounted on the bastions' platform to fire over the parapet. All but the southwestern bastion still has some gun mountings remaining. The external walls of the gatehouse and the barracks ranges are also loopholed, although some of these have been fitted with sash windows.

The lone Grade II listed bottle oven in an advanced state of disrepair dates back to 1832 and is said to be the oldest still standing in the Potteries. It was refurbished in 2007 following a grant of £300,000 from English Heritage and is part of the remnants of the Top Bridge pottery works built in 1773 by Edward Bourne. The history of the three adjoining C18th pottery works (or 'potbanks' as they are referred to locally) the Royal Bradwell, Longport and Top Bridge works is quite complicated and mirrors the histories of most of the manufacturers in The Potteries. The three potbanks on this site were built at different times and evolved organically along the Newcastle to Burslem road, with wharfage at the rear on the Trent & Mersey canal. Small pottery companies have existed in the Brownhills area at Trubshaw Cross, Staffordshire for 350 years or more. The origins of Bradwell Pottery can be traced back to the Elers brothers who brought over the salt glazing process from their native Holland in the C17th. Another family dynasty which lasted right up to 2003 was founded by Ralph Wood who was apprenticed to Master Potter John Astbury in 1730 at the age of 15. Ralph Wood's great nephew John Wood established his own pottery at the Bradwell Works in 1787 and contemporary news sheets reported that his son Ralph Wood III 'continued the firm after his father's murder' - dangerous business, this pottery thing! In the C19th the Wood family were in business as Capper and Wood Ltd at the Royal Bradwell Pottery producing teapots. Arthur Wood became sole owner in 1904 and took over the rest of the Longport Pottery works in 1924. It had been established in 1772 by John Brindley, younger brother of James Brindley Engineer who constructed the Trent & Mersey Canal which opened from Burton-on-Trent as far as Stoke in the same year. The Top Bridge and Longport works were both acquired by John Davenport in 1794 specialising in the production of creamware, later introducing bone china and glass blowing on the same site. John Davenport's sons continued the business until 1887 when the Longport works was sold to Thomas Hughes who already occupied Top Bridge next door and he renamed it Unicorn Pottery. In 1896 Top Bridge was purchased by Price Brothers Burslem Ltd, in turn becoming part of the Arthur Wood Group in 1934. Three years later Arthur's son Gerald Wood bought a controlling interest in Kensington Pottery Ltd, Hanley and moved production into Top Bridge Works alongside Price Bros. In December 1961 the two occupants of the site were amalgamated as Price & Kensington Potteries Ltd and concentrated on the production of tea and coffee sets, renaming the works 'Price's National Teapots'. Changes in lifestyle and foreign competition saw a decreasing demand in the 1990's and unfortunately the Arthur Wood Group went into Receivership in 2003. The brand passed to Rayware Ltd who continue to use the name today on product made in China. The site with the three adjacent potbanks was acquired by Middlesex based property developer Charles Lewis & Co. The historic site has been allowed to progress to a state of terminal dereliction; a process accelerated by a criminally negligent owner, arsonists, petty thieves stealing the fabric of the building brick by brick and capped by Stoke City Council which demolished the main part of Price's National Teapot Works despite the Grade II listing, over a weekend in 2019 because it was deemed unsafe.

History
Of at least C18 origin, evidence for which is the external stack and comparatively low proportions of the ground and first floors, but the character of the present building is C19, during which time it was probably heightened.
Exterior
A tall 3-storey 3-window public house of whitened pebble-dashed walls, with smooth-rendered black-painted plinth and architraves, under a slate roof on boarded overhanging eaves. An external stack is on the R side wall, while brick stacks are to the rear and L side abutting the town wall. Details are late C19, characteristic of public houses of the period. The gable-end front has a central panel door in a doorcase with pediment. Windows are horned sashes. The entrance is flanked by 2-pane windows incorporating etched glass. The 1st floor has a central 4-pane window flanked by narrower 2-pane windows, and the 2nd floor has shorter 2-pane windows to the R and L. A 1-storey extension on the L side is under a lean-to roof against the tower of Porth Isaf (part of the medieval town wall and listed separately), and has a 2-pane window.
In the R side wall the external stack is set back from the front gable end and has a later brick shaft. To its R is a 3-storey flat-roof projection.
The rear, where the ground level is higher, has a replacement 1st-floor window on the R side, 12-pane horned sash window above and inserted window on the L side of the 2nd floor. Inside the roofless and open shell of the tower of Porth Isaf is a 1½-storey lean-to with modern 3-light window.
Interior
The entrance vestibule has a half-glazed door with etched glass of the late C19. The main interior has been modernised.
Reasons for Listing
Listed for its special architectural interest as a commercial building retaining definite C19 character, with earlier origins that make it the earliest surviving quayside building in the town.

Walking on the walls of the Grade I Listed Lincoln Castle, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Lincoln Castle was built during the late 11th century by William the Conqueror on the site of a pre-existing Roman fortress. The castle is unusual in that it has two mottes. It is only one of two such castles in the country, the other being at Lewes in Sussex.
When William the Conqueror defeated Harold Godwinson and the English at The Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066, he continued to face resistance to his rule in the north of England. For several years, William's position was very insecure. To project his influence northwards to control the people of the Danelaw (an area traditionally under the control of Scandinavian settlers), he constructed a few major castles in the north and midlands of England. It was at this time major castles at Warwick, Nottingham, and York were built. After gaining control of York, the Conqueror turned southwards and arrived at the Roman and Viking city of Lincoln.
When William reached Lincoln (one of the country's major settlements), he found a Viking commercial and trading centre with a population of 6,000 to 8,000. The remains of the old Roman walled fortress located 60 metres (200 ft) above the countryside to the south and west, proved an ideal strategic position to construct a new castle. Lincoln represented a vital strategic crossroads of the the same routes which influenced the siting of the Roman fort: Ermine Street, Fosse Way, Valley of the River Trent, River Witham & Lincolnshire Wolds
A castle here could guard several of the main strategic routes and form part of a network of strongholds of the Norman kingdom, in Danish Mercia, roughly the area of the country that is today referred to as the East Midlands, to control the country internally. Also (in the case of the Wolds) it could form a centre from which troops could be sent to repel Scandinavian landings anywhere on the coast from the Trent to the Welland, to a large extent, by using the roads which the Romans had constructed for the same purpose.
Work on the new fortification was completed in 1068. It is probable that at first a wooden keep was constructed which was later replaced with a much stronger stone one. To the south, where the Roman wall stands on the edge of a steep slope, it was retained partially as a curtain wall and partially as a revetment. In the west, where the ground is more level, the Roman wall was buried within an earth rampart and extended upward to form the Norman castle wall.
The castle was the focus of attention during the First Battle of Lincoln which occurred on 2 February 1141, during the struggle between King Stephen and Empress Matilda over who should be monarch in England. It was held but damaged, and a new tower, called the Lucy Tower, was built.
Lincoln Castle was again the site of a siege followed by the Second Battle of Lincoln, on 20 May 1217, during the reign of King John in the First Barons' War. This was the period of political struggle which led to the signing of Magna Carta on 15 June 1215.
As in Norwich and other places, the castle was used as a secure site in which to establish a prison. At Lincoln, the prison Gaol was built in 1787 and extended in 1847. Imprisoned debtors were allowed some social contact but the regime for criminals was designed to be one of isolation, according to the separate system. Consequently, the seating in the prison chapel is designed to enclose each prisoner individually so that the preacher could see everyone, but each could see only him. By 1878 the system was discredited, and the inmates were transferred to the new jail in the eastern outskirts of Lincoln.

The Grade I Listed Manchester Cathedral, formally the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George, in Manchester, England, is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Manchester, seat of the Bishop of Manchester and the city's parish church. On Victoria Street in Manchester, Greater Manchester.
The main body of the cathedral is in the Perpendicular Gothic style. James Stanley (warden 1485–1506) was responsible for commissioning the late-medieval wooden furnishings, including the pulpitum, choir stalls and the nave roof supported by angels with gilded instruments. The medieval church was extensively refaced, restored and extended in the Victorian period, and again following bomb damage in the 20th century. The cathedral is one of fifteen Grade I listed buildings in Manchester.
The origins of Manchester's first churches are obscure. The Angel Stone, a small carving of an angel with a scroll was discovered in the wall of the cathedral's south porch providing evidence of an early Saxon church has been dated to around 700 AD is preserved in the cathedral. Its Old English inscription translates as "into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit". The first church, possibly sited on or near the site of St Ann's Church, was destroyed by Danish invaders in 923 and a church dedicated to St Mary, built by King Edward the Elder, possibly where St Mary's Gate joins Exchange Street, was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086. The Domesday Book entry for Manchester reads "the Church of St Mary and the Church of St Michael hold one carucate of land in Manchester exempt from all customary dues except tax".
Under the Cathedrals Act 1840, the warden and fellows of the collegiate church were translated into a dean and canons in preparation for becoming the cathedral of the new Manchester Diocese which came into effect in 1847. The building was extensively renovated in 1882.
During the Manchester Blitz in 1940, a German bomb severely damaged the cathedral demolishing the medieval lady chapel and James Stanley's chantry chapel. It took almost 20 years to complete the repairs, in the course of which the Guy Chapel was rebuilt to the designs of Hubert Worthington. The cathedral was again damaged in the IRA bombing in June 1996.

Looking from near North Carlton towards the Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549) before the central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt.
It is highly regarded by architectural scholars; the eminent Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: "I have always held... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have."
Remigius de Fécamp, the first bishop of Lincoln, moved the Episcopal seat there between 1072 and 1092. Up until then St. Mary's Church in Stow was considered to be the "mother church" of Lincolnshire (although it was not a cathedral, because the seat of the diocese was at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire).
Bishop Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 9 May of that year, two days before it was consecrated. In 1141, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Bishop Alexander rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185. The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive.
After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir (St. Hugh's Choir) and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210. The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style.
The cathedral is the 3rd largest in Britain after St Paul's and York Minster, being 484 feet by 271 feet. Until 1549 the spire was reputedly the tallest medieval tower in Europe, though the exact height has been a matter of debate. Accompanying the cathedral's large bell, Great Tom of Lincoln, is a quarter-hour striking clock.
The two large stained glass rose windows, the matching Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye, were added to the cathedral during the late Middle Ages. The former, the Dean's Eye in the north transept dates from the 1192 rebuild begun by St Hugh, finally being completed in 1235.
After the additions of the Dean's eye and other major Gothic additions it is believed some mistakes in the support of the tower occurred, for in 1237 the main tower collapsed. A new tower was soon started and in 1255 the Cathedral petitioned Henry III to allow them to take down part of the town wall to enlarge and expand the Cathedral, including the rebuilding of the central tower and spire.
In 1290 Eleanor of Castile died and King Edward I of England decided to honour her, his Queen Consort, with an elegant funeral procession. After her body had been embalmed, which in the 13th century involved evisceration, Eleanor's viscera were buried in Lincoln cathedral, and Edward placed a duplicate of the Westminster tomb there.

The Grade II* Listed Ellis Windmill on Mill Road in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
At one time nine windmills stood along the west face of Mill Road over the steep slopes of the Lincoln Edge, these days only Ellis Windmill which was built in 1798 remains. There are documentary references to mills along the road from the early 16th century.
Tower mill of 3 floors with 4 sails, ogee domed wooden cap and fantail. Construction of brick painted black. Door on ground level. Horizontally sliding square windows with stone sills and segmental arches.
The first recorded owner of Ellis’ Mill was a wealthy landowner named Anthony Meres. It went through a succession of owners until December 1894 when John Ellis bought the mill for £250. He died in 1920, but his wife and son successively retained ownership until 1973. The mill was still in working order in 1940, but lost its sails in 1941, when Frank Ellis was the miller.
The Mill remained fully operational until it fell into receivership in 1973 and in 1974 a fire destroyed all of the remaining woodwork. In 1977 the Lincoln Civic Trust acquired the mill and began its reconstruction, led by Chris Salisbury, millwright.
A cap mechanism was acquired from ‘Subscription Mill’ in Sturton-by-Stow and the stones and drives from ‘Eno’s Mill’ at Toynton-all-Saints and the sails and fantail were made by Thompson and Co from Alford. The reconstruction was completed in 1980 and milling began again in 1981. Lincolnshire County Council took it over in 1995.
The brick foundations of an ancillary building in the north-east part of the site were recorded in 2006, along with a short length of brick wall and a stone wall or foundation immediately north of the mill. Ellis Mill remains a working mill producing flour and is open to the public on Saturday afternoons.

The Grade I Listed Conwy Castle built between 1283 and 1289 during King Edward I's second campaign in Wales. In Conwy, Conwy County, North Wales.
It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and managed by Cadw. It is also part of the World Heritage Site entitled Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd. The Castle was built along with the Town Walls at the combined cost of £15,000, (approximately £7.6 million in today's money).
Before the English construction of the town of Conwy, the site was occupied by Aberconwy Abbey, a Cistercian monastery favoured by the Welsh princes. The site also controlled an important crossing point over the river Conwy between the coastal and inland areas of North Wales and was defended for many years by Deganwy Castle.
The English kings and Welsh princes had vied for control of the region since the 1070s and the conflict had been renewed during the 13th century, leading to Edward I intervening in North Wales for the second time during his reign in 1282.
Edward invaded with a huge army, pushing north from Carmarthen and westwards from Montgomery and Chester. Edward captured Aberconwy in March 1283 and decided that the location would form the centre of a new county: the abbey would be relocated eight miles inland and a new English castle and walled town would be built on the monastery's former site.
The ruined castle of Deganwy was abandoned and never rebuilt. Edward's plan was a colonial enterprise and placing the new town and walls on top of such a high-status native Welsh site was in part a symbolic act to demonstrate English power.

Hiya Everyone! It has been a while since I have done one of these. And a while since I have posted here!
I am finding myself buying a lot of stuff I don't really like these days. I end up giving the stuff away, discarding it, or stashing it away in the garage to sell someday.
Most of these items I have always deemed "too expensive" but in reality I could afford them if I stopped spending and actually saved for a little while. The trouble is that shopping is a coping mechanism for me and I struggle when I can't spend. But I am going to try!
I don't think there is any way I will be getting all of these this year but I would really like to try and get at least a few.
I have ordered them according to how much I want them:
1. Fashion Photo Elaine! This gal has appeared on many of my wish lists. The thing is, I want one that is mint. Not necessarily boxed but with her hair intact and no paint rubs. I am not too keen on the repro personally.
2: Tom Stone. Again, vintage not repro. With Action Man I am not too fussed about condition but I would prefer if he had all his flocking.
3: Disco Wanda!
4: 12" Mego Spider Man NRFB.
5: 12" Mego Superman NRFB.
6: Party Time Lindsey. This doll I may not get as she is a fairly basic doll. I have only seen one listing for 3 of these doll and the seller wants hundreds per doll. They haven't sold any in the many years the listing has been up. I just wish they would lower the price and ship overseas 😩
7: Ultra Corps Sniper Scout. I had this guy as a kid and I loved him! He isn't as expensive or HTF as he is "expensive for what he is."
8: Beauty or more so her puppies. I have a white version of this "puppy" but I would love the grey and brown too.
And that's all 😂 How about you? Are you after anything special at the moment? I hope everyone finds what they are searching for this year.
