Church of St Sylvester, Chivelstone Devon is now the religious centre of this coastal parish known as Prawle point which is situated at the most southerly point in Devon and also incluldes the villages of South Allington, Ford, Lannacombe & East Prawle.
Mentioned as Cheveletone in the 1086 Domesday Survey, the Lord of the Manor was then Juhel de Totnes who was granted many manors in the south-west by William the Conqueror and who founded Totnes Priory in c.1087 but who , after the king's death , was expelled by his successor.
There was a chapelry here by the end of the 13c, attached to the parish of Stokenham held by Totnes Priory.
The church now consists of chancel, nave, north and south aisles, south porch, embattled three stage west tower with 5-sided stair turret on the south side , holding 5 bells, and is mainly Perpendicular in style.
The present building was constructed in the early 15c , though the chancel may be 14c, and enlarged with the rebuilding of the aisled nave, tower & porch in mid-16c.
It is the only one in Devon dedicated to Pope Sylvester who died in 325AD

The registers date from 1630.
It was restored in 1897 but by the beginning of this century was badly in need of further extensive restoration.
The PCC also hoped to create a space that could be used more widely by the community as well as bringing in revenue to help make it more sustainable in the future - this in addition to providing better facilities for the loyal congregation.
Having been unsuccessful with previous grants the Church worked hard with the active support of Le Page Architects, to win a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The final interview for the grant on zoom released £400,000 during the 2020 lockdown, this supplemented with other fundraising for the match funding. There is an explanatory video that explains the project here: eastprawlehistorysociety.co.uk/church-repair-project

There have been interesting complications around structural and conservation repair, entailing 8m deep low impact piles to support the south porch, as well as repair to a reed reinforced plaster ceiling. Extensive repointing, upgrade of rainwater goods, other repairs to lead roof, and stonework repair to decayed windows has formed the majority of the external work.
Interior works are wide ranging, involving the installation of an accessible lavatory unusually with a shower. This is so that the Church may be used for overnight accommodation for walkers and tourists champing.co.uk. Grant of consent to allow for a shower was extremely hard won but eventually allowed. A bespoke hideaway kitchen offers simple catering for a variety of events.
Conservation work to the medieval pulpit was one of the highlights of the project and remains of late 17c / early 18c wall paintings have been found under layers of whitewash,
In the graveyard are numerous graves dating from 1712 , many to those who lost their lives in ships wrecked throughout the centuries,
In his book “Kingsbridge and its Surroundings” (1874) S P Fox wrote bout the wreck of the Gossamer:“A China tea clipper ship, of 735 tons register, was wrecked in December, 1868 and 13 lives were lost. There was a strong South-wrest breeze, and a heavy sea… The Captain was seen to lash his bride of just two weeks to a spar in the hope that she would stay afloat. For a time the two of them clung to the storm tossed bit of wood until the sea took them in its cold embrace…”

This year, 2026 is the centenary of the formation of Zeiss Ikon, a major player in European camera manufacture in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 20th century.
To mark this anniversary, I've decided to use a different Zeiss Ikon camera every two weeks throughout the year, a project I'm calling “Twenty-six in Twenty-six”.
The Contax I appeared in 1932, and was followed by the Contax II in 1936. Production was halted by the war, but in the West was restarted in 1950, with an improved and more reliable version known as the Contax IIa. As the system was aimed at the professional market a good range of lenses was available including several 50mm standard lenses. Mine has the f1.5 Sonnar, which is an impressive looking piece of glass, though in a non reflex camera the advantages of the very wide aperture are tempered by the difficulty in getting exact focus with a rangefinder.

OVER THE MOON THAT I WON THE CTM 2019 RADIO LAB IN BERLIN. Huge gratitude to CTM in Berlin, Gaudeamus Muziekweek & Muziekhuis in Utrecht, and last but not least ensemble But What About: your support is worth a billion <3. PS: Big congratulations as well to Israel Martínez, who won together with me !

Two winning projects have been selected from an open call for the CTM 2019 Radio Lab. The organisers would like to thank everyone who took the time to submit their proposals, which totalled 175 entries from 43 countries, and collectively addressed the call’s themes and challenges from a wide and interesting array of perspectives.
Awarded by Deutschlandfunk Kultur – Radio Art/Klangkunst and CTM Festival, in collaboration with ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst festival, Ö1 Kunstradio, and The Wire magazine, the CTM 2019 Radio Lab open call sought unusual explorations of the artistic possibilities of radio and live performance or installation mediums, while also addressing the CTM 2019 – Persistence festival theme.
With (Non) Humanism and Animism, Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman researches (modern) forms of animism, and how animistic worldviews have managed to survive in spite of severe oppression through heavy colonization. Herself born in Rwanda but raised in Belgium, Lierman takes direct inspiration from a series of life-changing encounters with her 108-year-old grandfather, one of the last living Rwandan traditional hunters and doctors that has seen the pre-colonial country of his childhood pass through two colonization events (German and Belgian), the 1950s revolution for independence, the genocide and post-war massacres of the 90s, and the country’s present-day turmoil. Lierman’s family visits have resulted in an ongoing investigation into the soundscape of contemporary urban and rural East African, and of her native region of Virunga in particular. The Wire‘s Phil England comments: “(Non) Humanism & Animism will give festival attendees and radio listeners a unique perspective into a contrasting cultural perspective, one that we hope will transport listeners into another reality while providing an insight into a colonial past that needs confronting as well as a powerful, living example of persistence.”
“Persistence in Mexico, as in other parts of the world, or rather, throughout the world, today, is not a choice or a possibility: it is a condition to be able to survive, to be able to imagine a different future … contributing substantially to critical thinking and resistance throughout the world” writes Mexican sound artist Israel Martínez. With Love and Rage, the artist proposes a tribute to the persistence of resistance via a series of powerful, intimate performances that give “a very strong sonic statement on political activism in Mexico, resonating with many forms of persistence around the world.” Marcus Gammel (Deutschlandfunk Kultur).
The winning works will be premiered at CTM 2019 Festival in Berlin (25.01. – 03.02.2019), with radio versions to be broadcast via Deutschlandfunk Kultur (spring 2019). The works will also be presented by the Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF Austrian Broadcasting Service) via one of their platforms: the ORF Zeit-Ton or Ö1 Kunstradio shows, or the ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst festival in Graz in autumn 2019.
The jury consisted of:
Cedrik Fermont (independent artist and researcher)
Elisabeth Zimmerman (Producer, ORF Kunstradio)
Jan Rohlf (Artistic & Managing Director, CTM Festival)
Marcus Gammel (Curator, Deutschlandfunk Kultur Radio Art / Klangkunst)
Philip England (The Wire)

Trapping is one of the important tools land managers use to control pests which by their nature difficult to manage.
Trapping is sometimes the only way to deal with animals that are not able to be controlled by other methods such as baiting if they have learned to avoid poisoned baits and become ‘bait-shy’.
Pests, such as foxes, are a problem across the landscape because they take advantage of the conditions wherever there is a reliable source of food or shelter and can become virtually impossible to ever control completely.
The aim of the training is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of trapping which needs to be seen as part of an integrated pest management program.
The training covered aspects such equipment preparation including fine-tuning traps for effectiveness as well as trap maintenance and selection the best trap site.
Regular checking of traps includes constantly evaluating if the trap set is in the right place to avoid non-targets species becoming victims.
In coastal areas foxes the persistence of foxes is a real problem for agriculture and our wildlife, highlighted by their ability to thrive in most environments and on an incredible range of food sources.
This includes urban areas where they feed from rubbish bins or even food we put out for our pets through rural areas where they can survive on road-kill and prey on newborns lambs.
Their impact on our natural environment is also pretty dramatic as they eat just about any thing they can fit in their mouths from, lizards, to birds and their egg as well our small marsupials and mammals.
There are times when I’m out wandering, looking for photos to present themselves that something catches my eye but it’s hard to pinpoint what it is. This was one of those instances. I was walking some trails around St. Peter’s College and I came out into an opening and this scene caught my eye. It wasn’t exactly what I was looking for but knew there was something that visually intrigued. I thought it was the tree that caught my eye but that wasn’t it either. After a couple more tries I finally figured out that it was the haphazard tree branches against the geometric shapes of the fence, brick wall and vent that drew me in. I’m not sure if this kind of photo appeals to everyone. It is just a tree, a fence and a brick wall…but it’s the relationship between the elements that I like!
Anyway, quite often that’s the process that I go through to make an image. Sometimes it works and I come out with a photo I like, and sometimes I never do figure out what caught my eye and come away empty handed. Glad it worked out this time!

It is remarkable that the best part of this disappointing autumn may be the late October storms that threatened to bury the color. The striking contrast has been unique and spectacular. Westmoreland, NH.

The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1952–54) by Salvador Dalí revisits his earlier masterpiece, The Persistence of Memory (1931), placing melting watches in a fragmented, post-war atomic-age landscape. The scene incorporates an elaborate grid of bricks and missile-like rhino horns, symbols of nature’s perfect order. Dalí’s work reflects on the impermanence of time and the era’s nuclear anxieties, blending surrealist dreamscapes with modern concerns.
Dalí: Disruption and Devotion, an exhibit on display at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston from July 6 to December 1, 2024, juxtaposes nearly 30 paintings and prints on loan from the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, with European masterpieces from the MFA’s collection.
The Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1870 and relocated to its current neoclassical building designed by architect Guy Lowell at 465 Huntington Avenue in 1909. The museum's vast collection spans over 500,000 works of art, with highlights including ancient Egyptian artifacts, 18th- and 19th-century American art, French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, and a renowned collection of Asian art. Originally located in a Gothic Revival building in Copley Square, much of the museum’s early collection came from the Boston Athenaeum Art Gallery. Over the years, the museum expanded significantly, adding the Decorative Arts Wing in 1968, the Norman Jean Calderwood Garden Court and Terrace in 1997, and a modern Americas Wing in the mid-2000s designed by Foster and Partners.
Native, warm season, perennial, erect, sedge to 1 m tall and with slender rhizomes. Stems are yellow-green, unbranched, 1-3 mm diameter, soft and have internal horizontal membranes only. Leaves are reduced to basal sheaths. Flowerheads are solitary cylindrical spikes at the stem tips; they are not much wider than the stem itself. Glumes are leathery, many-nerved and lack a dark band around their margins. Flowering is from spring to autumn. Common and widespread in coastal and subcoastal non-saline wetland areas. Generally found in slightly deeper water than Water Couch (Paspalum distichum). A palatable feed, capable of maintaining dry stock or providing moderate production. Provides valuable feed and nesting sites for waterbirds. Don’t graze below the waterline in autumn to aid in its persistence.
Postponement
After tomorrow, yes, only after tomorrow . . .
I'll take tomorrow to think about after tomorrow,
And that way it shall be possible; but today no . . .
No, today nothing; today I cannot.
The confused persistence of my objective subjectivity,
The sleep of my real life, intercalary,
The anticipated and infinite exhaustion,
An exhaustion of worlds to take an electric . . .
This species of soul . . .
Only after tomorrow . . .
Today I want to prepare myself,
I want to prepare myself to think tomorrow about the following day . . .
That is the one that is decisive.
I already have the plan traced out; but no, today I don't trace out plans . . .
Tomorrow is the day of plans.
Tomorrow I'll sit myself down at the work desk to conquer the world;
But I'll only conquer the world after tomorrow . . .
I have the urge to cry,
I have the urge to cry all of a sudden, from within . . .
No, they don't want to know anything else, it's secret, I don't tell.
Only after tomorrow . . .
When I was a child the Sunday circus filled me with joy all the week.
Today only the Sunday circus of all the week of my childhood fills me with joy . . .
After tomorrow I'll be somebody else,
My life shall be victorious,
All my real qualities of intelligent, reader, and pragmatist
Will be summoned for a notice . . .
But for a notice of tomorrow . . .
Today I want to sleep, I'll rewrite tomorrow . . .
For today what is the spectacle that'll repeat my childhood?
Just so that I can buy the tickets tomorrow,
Cause after tomorrow is when the spectacle is good . . .
Before, no . . .
After tomorrow I'll have the public pose that tomorrow I'll study.
After tomorrow I'll finally be what today I cannot be.
Only after tomorrow . . .
I'm drowsy like the coldness of a stray dog.
I'm very drowsy.
Tomorrow I'll tell you the words, or after tomorrow . . .
Yes, perhaps only after tomorrow . . .
The future . . .
Yes, the future . . .
