Nether Winchendon House is a medieval manor house, situated in the Chilterns, that was remodelled in the 18th century in the "Strawberry Hill Gothick" style
All Saints Church at Nether Cerne, in the grounds of Nether Cerne Manor, is a redundant church in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust and at which services are held, normally once a year. The church dates from the 13th century but was extensively 'restored' in the Victorian period.
(Grade I listed building)

This stream runs by the Jug & Glass pub in Nether Langwith, north Nottinghamshire (near the Derbyshire border).
Taken in February, it seems deserted. Yet in summer, on hot days, the stream is full of kids (and adults!) paddling, and the grass on each side is covered by people 'chilling out' (often with drinks from the Jug & Glass)
An MCC XI hit out at Netherhall during the early stages of a special fixture to celebrate host club's Sutton-on-Hull's 150th anniversary.
The visitors, whose team in the main comprised players drawn from Derbyshire and Yorkshire clubs, won a 'timed' match by 34 runs with 10 balls to spare.

The Nether Edge Workhouse, Sheffield.
Offices, Union Road.
By Holmes & Watson, 1902.
Unlisted.
Land for the new workhouse buildings was bought in 1839. William Flockton was appointed as architect. The buildings were planned to accommodate 500 inmates. The original buildings were completed in 1844.
In 1929, the institution became Nether Edge Hospital. This building became part of Nether Edge Grammar School (1927-1958). The site was converted for housing 2000-03.
Flint from the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA. (tumble-polished)
Flint is the state gemstone of Ohio. "Flint" is sometimes used as a lithologic term by modern geologists, but it is a synonym for chert. Flint and chert are the same - they are cryptocrystalline, quartzose sedimentary rocks. Rockhounds often assert that flint is high-quality while chert is low-quality. Some geologists assert that "flint" implies a biogenic origin and "chert" implies a chemical origin.
Many cherts do have a chemical origin - chert nodules are moderately common in some limestone units. The nodules form during diagenesis - pre-existing silica components in the carbonate sediments are dissolved, mobilized, and reprecipitated as chert masses. Some cherts do have a biogenic origin - for example, radiolarian cherts (rich in radiolarian microfossils) or spicular cherts (rich in siliceous sponge spicules).
The most famous flint deposit in Ohio is Flint Ridge, in Licking County. At this locality, the Middle Pennsylvanian-aged Vanport Flint is exposed in several places. The geologic literature on the Vanport Flint is relatively sparse, with inaccurate, incomplete descriptions and characterizations. For example, the literature describes the Vanport as a sheet of flint at Flint Ridge - it's actually a meganodule horizon. Other descriptions refer to the chert as the remains of siliceous sponges. In reality, siliceous sponge spicules are quite scarce in Vanport samples.
Two graduate student projects during the 2000s, conducted at two different universities, had very different conclusions & interpretations about the origin of the Vanport Flint. A 2003 study concluded that chert at Flint Ridge is biogenic in origin. A 2006 study concluded that the chert is chemical in origin. Some Pennsylvanian-aged cherts in eastern America are inferred to be ultimately derived from quartzose eolian dust on seafloors.
Modern flint knappers value the Vanport Flint for being multicolored and high-quality (= very few impurities). With artificial heating, the flint is more easily knapped into arrowheads, spear points, and other objects. Prehistoric American Indians quarried the Vanport Flint at many specific sites on Flint Ridge. Old Indian flint pits can be examined along hiking trails in Flint Ridge State Park. Many authentic Indian artifacts found in Ohio (arrowheads & spearpoints - "projectile points") are composed of Vanport Flint.
