The church dates from the eleventh century onwards, although the majority of the church is of redbrick from the 18th century when the stone church was clad in brick, and refenestrated in 1758. The brickwork has decorative features. The roof is of lead and slate.
There is a two stage western tower of redbrick, but at the base there are possible remains of Saxon work inside. The top of the tower has battlemented parapets. The inside of the tower has massive wooden trusses.
The nave has north and south aisles, with three bay arcades dating from the thirteenth century. Much of the interior is in the 18th century Gothick style.
The chancel arch has been replaced by an 18th century three bay screen with ogee arches and gilt decoration and finials. There is a Royal Coat of Arms above the screen.
The north aisle contains three old bells which are quite large for a small church. They were taken down around 1950 when considered unsafe.
The nave has several hatchments to the Clinton and Lievesey families. There is a vault and memorial slabs to the Clintons in the chancel.
At the south west end of the nave is a large ledger slab to John Eland d.1473, and his two wives.
The chancel is entered by three steps up from the nave, and is typically Georgian. The altar is another three steps higher and there is no east window.
The church was restored in 1891-2 by W. Scorer.
In the north aisle there is a small organ by Clark & Sons of Kirton Lindsey.
This building was once a neighborhood movie theater. It was converted to other uses in the 1960's and has been used as a warehouse for years. This section of the wall is very decorative, but below it they removed the old brick and put in a "modern" entrance that is nowhere near as interesting!

Kentwell - a very different experience: a romantic, completely moated, mellow redbrick Tudor mansion in a tranquil parkland setting - but so much more.
A 30+ years Restoration Project
In 1970 Kentwell stood neglected. No-one was prepared to take it on - except Patrick Phillips. He fell for this wonderful House in its magical setting and was not deterred by its condition. Ever since then he has, with his wife and family, sought to bring Kentwell back to life. Their works have taken part of the House and its 15th Century Service Building back to the 16th Century. Elsewhere changes reflect their own preferences. House, Gardens & Farm have an unrivalled ability to captivate the visitor.
Take a glimpse into both the past and present of this unique House. Enjoy its delightful Gardens. You can do this whenever you come but especially if you visit during one of the award-winning Re-Creations of Tudor or WWII Everyday Life and (recently) Victorian life. Kentwell pioneered Tudor domestic Living History Events in the UK, and nearly 30 years on the Re-Creations are as magical as ever.
Redbrick Mill with the Cooperative Wholesale Society's water tank and chimney beyond still gives the valley an industrial feel even though none of the buildings are occupied by their original industries.

Revisiting old haunts today, only to be met by this sad sight - another of our city's many suburban public houses has shut down, after its transmogrification into a Chinese restaurant failed to keep the place going.
Pretty sure I never drank there, but knew it well as a kid since the nearby bus stop took its name from the pub - and, in the mid60s, aged 10 or 11, I'd be asking the conductor for a ticket to "The Mitre" five times a week!
The large site and adjacent bowling green may well be re-purposed, but one wonders what chance the building, a mock-Tudor erection of 1933, might have....
Oak trees.
The house I grew up in and still go back to is this colour of brick, and I’ve always loved it. Whatever becomes of my final destination of living space, I want one wall to be this type of exposed aged red brick and another of layered white oak.
Funnily enough, when I look at this brick it reminds me of trees, which is a really odd thing to say, but it does. It is because I would stare out on to a red oak tree from my homes sunroom everyday. I have the same fascination of trees as John Constable, and enjoy the eloquence of description by William Glipin (the Monty Don of trees in the 1700s) who called oaks the ‘Hercules of trees.’
Oaks produces acorns, can be down dressed or dressed up for your home, and make alcohol delicious in their aged barrels.
I think my all time favourite is the Anseman Oak or McDonogh Oak, followed by the English Oak (Quercus Robur or Pedunculate Oak), but I will take the simple bur oak too!

nrhp # 80000971- The Bartow County Courthouse, built in 1902, is an historic redbrick Classical Revival style county courthouse located on Courthouse Square in Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia, United States. Designed by the Louisville, Kentucky architectural firm of Kenneth McDonald & Co. together with self-taught Georgia architect J. W. Golucke, who is said to have designed 27 courthouses in Georgia and four in Alabama, it is Bartow County's third courthouse and the second one built in Cartersville. The first courthouse built in Cassville, while the county was known as Cass County, was burned by General Sherman's troops in 1864. In 1867 the county seat was moved to Cartersville and the second courthouse was built in 1873. It proved to be unsatisfactory because court proceedings had to be halted while trains passed by on the nearby railroad. In 1992 a courthouse annex known as the Frank Moore Administration and Judicial Center was completed. While the 1902 building is still used for some court purposes, most of the proceedings are held in the 1992 building.
On September 18, 1980, the 1902 courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

18 June 2011. We walked to Antwerp city centre via Maria Henriettalei. Ahead, the National Bank building.
Unlike London, none of the cyclists we saw - and there seemed to be thousands - were attempting the land speed record for pedal-powered vehicles. Though they did get irritated and dinged their bells when we gormless tourists strayed into clearly marked and otherwise unblocked cycle lanes.

A morning walk around Earlswood Lakes in Solihull.
Earlswood Lakes is the modern name for three man-made reservoirs which were built in the 1820s at Earlswood in Warwickshire, England, to supply water to the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. They still supply the canal, and also provide leisure facilities, including sailing, fishing and walking. The northern banks of the lakes form the county boundary with the West Midlands.
The Stratford-upon-Avon Canal runs from Kings Norton Junction, where it joins the Worcester and Birmingham Canal to Stratford-upon-Avon, where it joins the River Avon, with a junction about halfway along at Kingswood, where it joins the Grand Union Canal. The initial 9.75 miles (15.6 km) to Hockley Heath is level, but after that, the canal drops through 55 locks on its way to Stratford-upon-Avon. In order to supply water to the system, the Earlswood Lakes were constructed in the 1820s. Construction took nearly 5 years to complete, and the labour force included prisoners of war from the Napoleonic wars. Some people say that lying at the bottom of all the lakes are the dead bodies of people who died while being forced to make the pools and they had no place to be buried so they were left there, either in groups or alone. Also the cost of construction was £297,000.
Being so near to Birmingham, the lakes proved attractive to visitors from the city from the early 1900s, and their popularity has been maintained, with recent improvements to the facilities which they provide. The Lakes railway station was built to bring tourists to the area and is on the Birmingham to Stratford line.
The three reservoirs are called Engine Pool, Windmill Pool and Terry's Pool, and a Grade II listed engine house is located beside the Engine Pool. The lakes cover 25 acres (10 ha), 25 acres (10 ha) and 20 acres (8.1 ha) respectively. The lakes are fed by tributaries of the River Blythe, and in turn outfall into that river also.

The church dates from the mid-fourteenth century onwards and was restored in the nineteenth and twentieth century.
It is built in greenstone and redbrick with limestone ashlar dressings with a concrete tiled roof.
It was built by Thomas de Redying in the mid 14th C. and replaced an Anglo Saxon church.
There is a western tower from the fifteenth century, with brick patching. There are three bells the oldest one dating from the 15th C.
The nave and chancel are in one, the nave having three bays of octagonal piers. The north aisle dates from the late fifteenth century and has been patched in brick. The south aisle is probably late fourteenth century.
There is a 14th C. octagonal font of seven sides with standing figures.
The chancel has a fifteenth century arch originally leading to a chapel, now demolished. This now leads to the vestry.
On the north side of the chancel is an effigy of Thomas de Redying from the fourteenth century. This was found during restoration work in 1912.
The east window is from the fifteenth century and was restored in the nineteenth century.
Most of the furniture and painted ceiling dates from the 19th C.
The rood and screen are from 1913 and incorporate some older panels.
In 1606 Rev. Stubbs was prosecuted by his parishioners when the roof and walls of the chancel collapsed.
The church was restored when redbrick was used to patch the exterior. However by the mid nineteenth century the church was almost in ruin and was repaired by the Rev. Edward Steere and the village carpenter. It was further renovated in 1912. The church was reopened June 28th 1913.

Grafton.
Grafton is situated on the Clarence River, one of the fast flowing north Coast Rivers infamous for flooding after rains storms on the Great Dividing Range. Grafton was first explored by white Europeans in 1831 when an escaped convict reached the area. He later led an exploration party to the fertile area and received a pardon. The district was then opened up for the Red Cedar trade by John Small, a Sydney shipbuilder. A few timber cutters and settlers moved there prompting the government to survey the area in 1839. William Darke arrived to survey a town which was called “The Settlement” until 1848. In that year the Governor named it Grafton after his grandfather, the Duke of Grafton. The town grew quickly to become a municipality in 1859 and a city in 1885. Sugar grew well on the cleared volcanic river flats and in the 1860s sugar became the mainstay of Grafton’s growth. Sugar mills opened and the town boomed. It has an early Court House (1846), major churches and a public grammar school. Once the north coast railway crossed the Clarence River in 1932 the town grew even more. It became known for its stately Jacaranda trees which flower in November. Most were planted in 1874.
St. Mary’s Catholic Church was completed early in 1867 but the wooden Anglican Church was re-built as a Cathedral by well known NSW architect John Horbury Hunt in 1884. We will see more of his work in Armidale where he also designed the Anglican Cathedral, Booloominbah, Treveena and the Armidale hospital. Hunt was a Canadian who studied as an architect in Boston before moving to Sydney in 1863. Here he met the Government Architect, James Barnet and he accepted work with Edmund Blacket the leading architect of NSW at that time. In 1869 Hunt went out on his own with commissions for churches, cathedrals and mansions for the Sydney business elite. He was a foundation member of what became the Institute of Architects, NSW. He was an eccentric and his work was always distinctive- he often used coloured bricks, fancy brick work patterns or bonds and he extensively used wooden external decoration in the Canadian style when neither brick work nor wooden decoration was fashionable. His Grafton cathedral was built in the Gothic style but with salmon coloured bricks, not the then fashionable grey stone. Hunt personally selected a local clay to get the exact colour of brick he wanted for the Cathedral. He watched the brickies closely to check their work. The foundation stone was laid in 1874 and it took ten years to complete. The wide Gothic arch, all in brick, above the Cathedral entrance is magnificent. After completing the Cathedral Hunt return in 1890 to oversee the construction of the church hall behind the Cathedral. He used similar bricks to those in the Cathedral. Hunt also designed the western entrance which was added in 1934 (Hunt died in 1903) but it was erected according to Hunt’s original design.
Grafton has a number of fine old buildings including: the “ new” Court House of 1880; the nearby Crown Prosecutor’s Office ( 1881); the Post Office ( 1874); the Grafton Gaol ( 1893); the Anglican Rectory ( 1850)- now the Cathedral bookshop; the original Commercial Banking Company bank ( 1877) in Prince Street( now a NAB bank); and the former Police Station ( 1881). The city has many fine Victorian and Edwardian houses set on tree lined avenues.
