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.

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.

In March 1943, about 1,000 international people living in Shanghai were interned in Chapei Civil Assembly Centre by the Japanese. As the war progressed, food rations became smaller and less varied. Many people living in the camp were helped by people living in Shanghai from countries which were neutral during WWII, like Sweden. Also Chinese employees from foreign companies sent their former colleagues food.
This photo shows a label of such a food aid package, sent by the Swedish family Asker, to the Dutch family Hennus. Mr. C.G.C. Asker worked for the Maritime Customs Service of China (as per Records of the Maritime Customs Service of China 1854 –1949 Part Three: Semi-Official Correspondence from Selected Ports by Professor Robert Bickers, University of Bristol).

"SWEDEN PRAISED FOR ASSISTANCE IN BRINGING AID TO WAR PRISONERS. By Dr. I). A. Davis, Associate Executive Director, Y. M. C. A. Worlds Committee,
Sweden and Switzerland, spared the horrors of warfare, are doing their share to lighten the burden of war victims. These two neutral countries are cooperating with the War Prisoners Aid of the Y. M. C. A., with headquarters in Geneva and New York, in sending material aid to war prisoners and civilian internees in Europe and the Far East. The rights and privileges of more than 6,000,000 prisoners of war confined behind barbed wire throughout the world are protected by the treaty called “The Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War,” signed by 47 nations on July 27, 1920. Among other things the Geneva Convention specifies that various welfare organizations may have access to war prison camps to render certain services to prisoners; thus War Prisoners Aid, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. World’s Committee carries on its stimulating programs of educational, recreational and religious activities among war prisoners, regardless of race, creed or nationality. The role that Sweden plays in this important services are manifold, for giving financial support as well as supplying materials for leisure-time activities. They provide also a large percentage of the personell necessary. From Sweden comes books, writing materials, lumber and other materials hardly found now in other european countries and piany of the neutral secretaries are permitted to visit war prison and internment camps. “We sail never forget what your Swedish colleague, Hoffman, did for us in England,” said a German prisoner of war to Gunnar Celander, Swedish representative of War Prisoners Aid, during a recent prisoner of war exchange between Germany and England, through Sweden. Boatloads of German prisoners from Canada, U. S. and .England, and British prisoners from Germany, docked at Trelleborg and Goteborg, while they transferred to boats waiting to take them home.
The Swedish Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross Lottas, Swedish rail roads and welfare organizations assumed a large portion of the responsibility of looking after these men— most of whom were invalided and blind during their short stay in the country. Food, travel facilities, reading matter, games, gramophones supplied with records of German and British music were made available to make the men comfortable. Crown princess Louise visited the prisoners, with representatives of the Swedish government, who officially welcomed them. Mr. Celander reported “We Swedes are happy that it was the privilege of our country to arrange this exchange of prisoners in the spirit of conciliation and kindness in the midst of the fire of conflict. I longed to share with the entire Y. M. C. A. and its secretaries the memory of the happy faces these homeward-bound prisoners and their many proofs of gratitude. All these men can testify that we were able to serve them in of their liberation. That is the highest reward and greatest encouragement for our work.” In Stockholm a War Prisoners Aid office is under the able leader their capacity as well as in' these days ship of Hugo Cedergren, Associate Director of Y. M. C. A., and National Secretary of the Swedish Y. M. C. A. Mr. Cedergren, who has visited prisoners in Europe, U. S. and Canada, said recently in America: “The spirit of prisoners is excellent. I can say that honestly from my own experience. The treatment they are receiving is correct and good.” Mrs Ceder gren is the daughter of Prince Oscar Bernadotte, brother of King Gustaf. He is honorary president of the Swedish Y. M. C. A. Pastor Carl-Erik Wenngren of the Stockholm Diocese, Associated National .Secretary of the Swedish Y. M. C. A., is now in U. S. as a neutral representative of the Ecumenical Commission for Chaplaincy Service to prisoners of war, of the World Council of Churches, and as a representative of War Prisoners Aid of the Y. M. C. A. He is visiting camps throughout America carrying the message of the church, especially to German prisoners, conducting services and other functions of a minister. Gunnar Celander, Henry Soderberg, Gunnar Janssen, O, M. Carlman and Erik Berg have been recruited from Sweden to visit war prison camps in Germany, while Bengt Hoffman carries War Prisoners Aid service to allied fliers detained in Sweden in compliance with neutrality laws. Civilan internment camps in France ares visited by mr. and Mrs. Hemming Andermo. The Swedish representative in India is Fredrik Franklin. (In the Philippine Islands, aid to prisoners of war and civilian internees is carried on under a neutral committee of Swiss, Irish, Danish, French, Belgian and Norwegian citizens, headed by Swedish Ex-Consul Helge A. Jansson, in Manila, and appointed by W. J. K. Bagge, Swedish Minister to Japan, since July 1942, chairman of neutral citizens, responsible for Y. M. C. A. services to prisoners and internees in Japan and Japanese-controlled areas. All contact between War Prisoners Aid and Japanese government are made through Stockholm. Through Minister Bagge, War Prisoners’ Aid received the first complete information about aid work in the Philippines. Final permission was given by the Japanese for the YMCA to purchase monthly in the Philippines sorely needed relief supplies for shipment to camps there in which Allied prisoners are interned. War Prisoners’ Aid service to allied war prisoners and civilian internees in Japan and Japan-held territory other than the Philippines is headed by I. P. Troedsson, Swedish Consul to Japan, assisted by N. E. Ericson of the Swedish Legation in Tokyo, under supervision of Minister Bagge. Swedish representatives of War Prisoners’ Aid make regular visits to camps in Japan are B. Gawell, John Anderson, A. Swensson and O. Pettersson, C. G. C. Asker works in Shanghai, and in Thailand, War Prisoners’ Aid service is carried to prisoners of war by F. Ehnstedt, Swedish Consul there. N. Arne Bendtz, with headquarters in Chungking, is in charge of War Prisoners Aid Services in Free China. He was responsible for taking aid not long ago to the more than two hundred German and Italian Catholic Fathers who had been interned for more than a year in the Honan Province. Traveling hundreds of miles over famine-stricken war-ridden country by car, rickshaw and on foot, climbing bleak, rugged hills, fording gushing streams, enduring scorching heat, mud and a plague of locusts, Bendtz finally reached his destination and found that the missionaries were living in dilapidated buildings, lacked essential food and clothing and faced grave financial difficulties. “For about three weeks I lived among these Catholic missionaries sharing their daily life, which I shall never forget,” wrote Bendtz in his report to Geneva. “They had suffered a lot during the past year and we came, as one said, “like an angel from Heaven, to soothe and comfort their sorrowful hearts.” “They had not met another foreigner since internment, and the concerts and speeches made in honor of the War Prisoners’ Aid representative were visible tokens of their gratitude.” Solutions to many problems facing War Prisofters’ Aid of the YMCA, a participating agency of the National War Fund, in its service to prisoners and civilian internees in Europe and the Far East, are greatly facilitated by the cooperation of Sweden.

The Grade I Listed church of St. Peter and St. Paul ('Bath Abbey') is the third to have occupied this location, itself possibly the site of a earlier pagan temple.
Founded in 675 as a convent then a monastery, the first substantial church was built for King Offa of Mercia in 781. As a plaque on the building states, Edgar, the first King of All England, was crowned in the Saxon church by Archbishop Dunstan of Canterbury on Whitsunday 973. The service devised by Dunstan has been used at the coronations of all subsequent English monarchs.
In the political upheaval following the Norman invasion of 1066, the seat of the Bishop of Wells was moved to Bath Abbey, with the Saxon church hence being replaced by a 101m-long cathedral church between 1090 and 1161. In 1245 Roger of Salisbury became the first Bishop of Bath and Wells and susequent encumbents favoured Wells Cathedral. By 1499, the Norman church – much larger than the monastery alone could afford to maintain – was in a poor physical state and the monks demoralised.
The current abbey church, "the last of the great medieval churches of England", was begun in 1502 and largely completed by 1533, on the site of just the Norman nave.
The style is Perpendicular Gothic, though atypically proportioned with low side aisles and arcades and an unusually tall clerestory. The cruciform floorplan was also unusual for a parish church of the period, the result of its monastic context.
This was just in time for the Dissolution of the Monasteries; in 1539 the diocese was consolidated to Wells Cathedral (though the name was retained) and, after the city declined to buy the abbey church, it was stripped of its windows and roof lead.
In 1574, Elizabeth I encouraged restoration of the building, founding a national fund to finance the work and in 1583 decreeing that it should become Bath's parish church. However, it wasn't until 1616 that the Bishop of Bath and Wells provided £1,000 for a new, wooden nave roof, allegedly after sheltering there during a thunderstorm, and the church returned to essentially its current form.
Following the rise of Bath as England's preeminent spa town, the church was restored by George Manners from 1833, with substantial changes made to the exterior. However, more work was required by 1859; repairs were made to the exterior but the interior was totally transformed by Sir George Gilbert Scott 1864–74, in the Victorian Gothic style. Most significantly, sightlines were cleared, allowing one to see the full 69 m length of the church (as this image does), and the lath-and-plaster nave ceiling was replaced with this marvellous stone fan vaulting, matching that already in the chancel, in the background.
Combined with the unusually tall clerestory, pale Bath stone and 52 windows occupying ~80% of the wall space, the result is, as one can see here, an extraordinarily airy space with none of the oppressive sense of weight encountered in some Great Churches.
The fan vaulting is a feature particularly associated with English Gothic church architecture. Transferring the weight of the ceiling through numerous narrow ribs rather than fewer and bulkier structures, it contributes to a sense of lightness – and simply blocks less light.

Grade I listed. The Wren Library was completed in 1695 under the Mastership of Isaac Barrow, who persuaded his friend Christopher Wren to design it. The building work was carried out under the supervision of a local master mason, Robert Grumbold, who chose exterior stone with a pinkish tinge from a quarry in Rutland. The four statues are of Mathematics, Physics, Law and Divinity and are by Cibber.
Nevile's Court was built at the personal expense of Dr. Thomas Nevile in 1605-12 and initially comprised only three sides. The fourth, now the Wren Library, was originally a closed wall, with a centre gate, which has since been removed. This gate now stands as an entrance to the College from Trinity Lane. See below.
The interior of the library is very beautiful but unfortunately photography isn't allowed.

The Grade II Listed Church of All Saints, Ingham, West Lindsey, Lincolnshire.
The original medieval church had become so ruinous that it was taken down and rebuilt as a two-cell structure in 1792 and then restored in 1896 and 1931.
ODC-My Bucket List
On my bucket list are two things I'd love to do. One is go and visit The Norman Rockwell Museum and the Other to visit the Corning Glassware Museum. We live one hour away from Corning, NY which is where both these museums are located.
The Grade II* Listed Church of St Thomas the Martyr, Thomas Lane, Redcliffe, Bristol, Avon.
Located in Bristol’s city centre, this handsome late 18th-century church was designed in 1789 by local architect and carver James Allen to replace a Medieval church deemed unsafe for use. Allen retained the 15th-century west tower of the old church, intending it to be 'raised and modernised’ in a Classical fashion, but the plan was never carried out and the church is an unusual - but pleasing - blend of both periods.
There is a fine ring of eight bells, all cast by local founders from the 15th-yo the 19th-century. At the east end is a reredos of 1716 and at the west a gallery of 1728-32, both transferred from the previous church. On the north side of the chancel is a superb 18th-century organ case. Some of the other furnishings are 18th-century, but most date from the 1896 restoration by H Roumieu Gough.
They are excellently designed and all contribute to one of the best interiors in Bristol. Little now survives of the old parish buildings, once home to rich clothiers, glovers, glassmakers and wine importers whose trading activities supported the church. One of the few remaining inns of the parish is the Seven Stars Tavern, right next to St Thomas’, where anti-slavery campaigner, Reverend Thomas Clarkson, gathered information on the slave trade. His evidence helped bring about the abolition of slavery in Britain.
The building is currently leased by the Churches Conservation Trust to a Romanian Orthodox Church community who use it for worship on Sundays and special days. Otherwise it is available for hire.
