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.

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.

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.
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.

St Michaels and All Angels' War Memorial Hall is located at the rear on the northern side of the church.
The stone was set by the Ven. M.C.W. Gooden, Rector of Henley Beach on 17 December 1961, and the hall was opened and dedicated on 29 April 1962.
Melbourne Central is a shopping centre. They built the centre around this old tower, with a glass cone over it.
As an aside; today for the first time I realised that I am starting to think about how I frame shots. There were a couple of female tourists taking photos of Melbourne Central tower, but they were not pointing their cameras right up to the top, missing what I think is the best angle. As they didn't speak English, I demonstrated with my camera my suggested angle. They said "wow" and proceeded to snap away with their cameras.
For the attention of roath_park_mark.
I know nothing of the building, but would judge it to be Edwardian rather than Victorian. That domed octagonal clock tower, with its machicolations and openwork decoration, is a most peculiar confection. The first floor bay windows have mullions with attached columns which pierce the roof above and terminate in capitals upon which little spheres rest. Ground floor tiled all round.
The bright redbrick chimney still proudly displays the name of Murphy Machinery but its paintwork is rapidly fading and the sprawling green mass of foliage attacking the base of the rural mill is a poignant marker of its demise.

Boarded up and decaying - Two rows of 1930's redbrick terraces, facing the A38 Flyover in Patchway. The owners of the garage next door have almost realised there 30+ year dream of demolishing these houses and building a car park - what they described as 'one of the most expensive car parks ever'. In 2008 when the Google Street View car drove past these houses, including this one, still appeared lived in and habitable. However in a bid to push the last resident out, and convince the council that demolition was necessary, they were left by the garage in the most appalling state. Soon they fell into the hands of vandals and arsonists. This house was very badly fire damaged at some point.
In the weeks and months after this photo was taken I noticed somebody had fly tipped a huge pile of waste in this front garden, so it was almost impossible to stand where this picture was taken. In March 2012 the final resident left his house and the terraces were pulled down in August 2012.

The original redbrick building, with University College Hospital beyond; the University was founded in 1826, but this name dates from 1836 following an amalgamation with King's College London
"Samuel Wilderspin (1792, London – 1866) was an English educationist known for his pioneering work on infant schools. His belief was that a child should be encouraged to learn through experience, and to development in feelings as well as intellect. His work provided the model for infant schools in Europe and North America.
Wilderspin was apprenticed as a clerk in the City of London, but later trained in infant education. He became the master of his own infant school in Spitalfields, and published On the Importance of Educating the Infant Poor in 1823, based on his experiences there. He began working for the Infant School Society the next year, informing others about his views on education. His approach to schooling as necessary for a socially and morally prepared child was informed by his Swedenborgianism.
Play was an important part of Wilderspin's system of education, and he is credited with the invention of the playground. He also ran a company supplying apparatus for playground activities." (Wikipedia)
Several hundred schools were founded by Wilderspin throughout the United Kingdom. However, Queen Street School in Barton-upon-Humber is the only known surviving school built to his designs. It was completed in 1845, and Wilderspin himself taught at the school for several years before retiring in 1848.
