Belton House a Grade I listed country house in Belton near Grantham, Lincolnshire.
The mansion is surrounded by formal gardens and a series of avenues leading to follies within a larger wooded park. Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the Tudor period.
The house has also been described as the most complete example of a typical English country house; the claim has even been made that Belton's principal facade was the inspiration for the modern British motorway signs which give directions to stately homes.
For three hundred years, Belton House was the seat of the Brownlow and Cust family, who had first acquired land in the area in the late 16th century. Between 1685 and 1688 Sir John Brownlow and his wife had the present mansion built. Despite great wealth they chose to build a modest country house rather than a grand contemporary Baroque palace.
The contemporary, if provincial, Carolean style was the selected choice of design. However, the new house was fitted with the latest innovations such as sash windows for the principal rooms, and more importantly separate areas for the staff. As the Brownlows rose from baronets to barons upward to earls, successive generations made changes to the interior of the house which reflected their changing social position and tastes.
Following World War I (a period when the Machine Gun Corps was based in the park), the Brownlows, like many of their peers, were faced with mounting financial problems. In 1984 they gave the house away complete with most of its contents. The recipients of their gift, the National Trust, today fully open Belton to the public.

The windmill, dating from 1805, is a tower mill and stands on Lytham Green. It was operational until 1918, and was restored in 1987. The windmill is in rendered brick on a plinth of cobble walling, and has a wooden cap and sails. It contains a doorway and windows, and at the top is a boat-shaped cap and fantail.
Situated next to the entrance to Blickling Hall, St. Andrew's was originally built in the 13th. century, then remodelled in the 15th. and again in the 19th. century, including the tower and porch by George E. Street in 1876, and the chancel, rebuilt by William Butterfield in the 1850's.
Constructed of flint with limestone dressings with lead roofs, the church consists of a west tower, nave, chancel, south aisle, south porch, north aisle and north-east chapel.
Inside, there is a large memorial and effigy depicting two life-size angels dedicated to William Schomberg Robert Kerr, 8th. Marquis of Lothian, who died in 1870 is buried in Jedburgh Abbey in Scotland. The memorial is by the sculptor George Frederick Watts and was completed in 1878.
The church boasts a collection of brasses. One commemorates Sir Nicholas Dagworth (d. 1401), a soldier and a diplomat under both Edward III and Richard II and who built the first Blickling Hall. Beside him is the memorial to Anne Astley, she died giving birth to twins in 1512, and she holds her male and female swaddled babies. Another brass is to Roger and Cecily Felthorpe (1454) and shows them alongside their 16 children. Other brasses include those to members of the Boleyn family.
There are a number of other memorials in the church. One shows the now handless bust of Elizabeth Gurdon under a canopy in the chancel. She died of a cold in 1582 at the age of 17 while while visiting Sir Edward Clere at Blickling Hall. By the south doorway is a wall monument of 1901 by the sculptor Arthur G. Walker to Constance, wife of the 7th. Marquess of Lothian.
In the Lady Chapel is the chest tomb of Sir Edward Clere, 1st. Baronet Ormesby, who died in London on 3rd. June 1606, aged 69. The tomb is decorated with shields of the family line which can be traced back to the Norman Conquest of 1066.
The church also contains a late medieval font, a pulpit from 1692, an organ by Snetzler of 1762 and an intricately carved First and Second World War wooden war memorial in the style of a pulpit. Either side of the inscription are figures of Saint George carved in relief.
The church received Grade: II* listed building status on 10th. May 1961. (English Heritage Legacy ID: 228672).

This plant is a type of succulent called Lithops from the Greek word meaning "stone". The plants are also called "pebble plants" or "living stones" because they look like stones when they're not in flower. Where it's positioned in our yard, the flower is only open for about two hours a day.

One of a number of abandoned wooden fishing boats on the shingle. It is thought that largely due to European Union quotas the number of working fishing boats has dropped over the years from about 30 to only 3 or 4 today.
I walked along Rutland Street and came across what appears to be a new plaque outside Number 11, celebrating Joseph Lister who lived at this property from 1856-1860. So I created a collage of the relevant images.
Lister came to Edinburgh in 1853, after graduating in medicine in London. He worked closely with James Syme, the celebrated Professor of Surgery in Edinburgh, becoming his assistant and marrying his daughter. In 1860 he was appointed to the Chair of Surgery in Glasgow, and it was there that he first applied Louis Pasteur’s recent discoveries about the role of airborne bacteria in fermentation to the prevention of infection in surgery. In 1866 he introduced carbolic acid as an antiseptic, to kill airborne bacteria and prevent their transmission into wounds from the air of the operating theatre.
In 1869 he returned to Edinburgh as successor to Syme as Professor of Surgery, and continued to develop improved methods of antisepsis and asepsis, with greatly reduced infection rates.
Lister's work led to a reduction in post-operative infections and made surgery safer for patients, distinguishing him as the "father of modern surgery"
If you look closely at the plaque on the front railing you might spot a spelling mistake: ‘honor’ is American English
The mouthwash LISTERINE® is named after Joseph Lister.
Continuing the medical theme, I reflect on the Covid-19 infection figures from yesterday reported as 62,322 new cases in the UK. Quite depressing and no sign we are turning the corner. I also reflect on how (and why) the mainstream media reports the total UK figure and not the nations and regions breakdown. Of course it is not a competition but when there are regional variations I think it is useful to know. For example, Scotland having 8.2% of the UK population reported 2039 new cases yesterday which is less than half the UK average. This is not a cause for celebration and these figures are still not good, but let's hope that we don't experience the levels of infection occurring down south. .

It consists of a west tower, a nave and chancel, both with a clerestory, aisles, a northeast vestry, a south porch, and a hearse house on the south side. The tower has stepped angle buttresses, a stair turret with a spirelet, and an embattled parapet. Most of the windows contain Perpendicular tracery.
