Auf einem Hügel inmitten der Stadt gelegen, erhebt sich das Franziskanerkloster und die älteste Pfarrkirche Füssens St. Stephan. Um das Jahr 1500 herum wurde der Äußere Ring der Stadtmauer errichtet, damit wurde Pfarrkirche und Vorstadt praktisch eingemeindet und unter den Schutz der Stadt gestellt.
This was taken in "Pudding Bag Lane" (Capel Court). The area was demolished (to the everlasting shame of the town council) in 1936 to make way for a car park. There was much anger at the time, but the authorities in the name of "slum clearance" called in the bulldozers anyway. Newlyn (and Mousehole) would have suffered a similar fate if WWII had not intervened.
In the view of local historian Cyril Noall, in an article the St Ives Times and Echo, June 25 1982, the Town Council helped to accelerate the decline in the close-knit fishing community; it swept away many substandard dwellings without making any attempt to restore or rehabilitate them, and took advantage of the Act to create, at little expense to itself, the present Harbour Car Park on the site of the old Pudding Bag Lane, Church Place and Norway properties.
The old fisherman in the scene was known locally for carving "joannies". These were painted wooden dolls fashioned from sections of broken oars. There are several examples in the St. Ives Museum.

Thank you for all the beautiful sunrises and sunsets that you've shown us.
I tried to stay up to take a picture of the sunrise, then realized that I wouldn't be able to take a picture of one anyway- too many buildings surrounding me! So a sunset from St Pauls Cathedral will have to do ;)
(Btw, I went up more than 300 steps for this view :O That's enough exercise for me for a year! ;p)
The church of St. Nicholas (Nikolaikirche), built in 1381–1460, with very lofty vaulting, together with the Marienkirche, are regarded as good examples of the influence exercised in these northern provinces by the large church of St Mary in Lübeck.
When other Wismar churches suffered bomb damage during the war, many works of art and other objects were brought here. There is a general sense that this church could do with a good clean, as there is a thick layer of dust over just about everything in the interior.
This relatively small organ sits in the choir area. The principal instrument is mounted high up on the rear wall of the church.
The east end of the choir preserves much of its original stained glass, believed to have been installed c1340. The two easternmost clerestorey windows on the north and south sides respectively are more or less complete and contain an array of sainted figures beneath rich canopies.They are less well known than the more famous east window but are important survivals in their own right.
Wells Cathedral is a magical place to me, having cast a spell over me from the very first time I laid eyes on it as a seven-year old when it started to be a regular break on our journeys south west for childhood holidays. Although it wasn't the first cathedral I'd encountered it was the first I'd seen after developing a more conscious interest in church art and architecture and it seemed to me like something from another world (which in many ways it is). I never forgot the impression it made, its beauties inside and out, and having not visited for nearly three decades I decided getting reacquainted was long overdue.
Described as England's 'Queen amongst cathedrals' it is not as huge as some but it is as beautiful as any, and its setting within the enclosure of a charming cathedral close that constitutes a large part of this modestly-sized but picturesque cathedral-city just adds to its qualities. Its three towers beckon the visitor through the turreted gates that connect the close to the market place and to walk through these and behold the west facade for the first time is an unforgettable experience. The central tower is a beautiful example of Somerset's pinnacled late Gothic masterpieces, and yet it almost disappears, practically forgotten, when one encounters the rich display between the two western towers with their curiously flat parapets. These towers are also mainly 15th century work, but below them, and built two centuries earlier, the facade unfolds like a huge screen covered with niches, most of which remarkably retain their original statues, the largest display of medieval sculpture surviving in England.
Currently visitors are directed to enter via the cloisters on the south side rather than through the surprisingly small, almost apologetic doorways burrowed through the base of this astonishing facade, so it is important to spend some time absorbing it before entering the building. Once inside the effect is rather calmer than the riot of ornamentation on the west front, and the scale a little more intimate and inviting than many cathedral interiors. Most of it is early 13th century and harmonious in style, but it is a later addition that draws the eye looking down the nave, the unique 'scissor arches' installed to brace the crossing in order to stabilise the central tower following signs of movement. The transepts beyond are of the same date and design as the nave, whilst further east the more ornate choir is a little later, being completed in the early 14th century. Beyond this the retrochoir and polygonal Lady Chapel with their delicate pillars and vaults form one of the most delightful and visually satisfying of English medieval interiors.
Furnishings and features of interest are plentiful as one explores the church admiring the beauty of its architecture, with much medieval glass surviving at the east end, the east window and the adjoining clerestories having survived almost intact (more survives in the choir aisles and lady chapel though aside from the traceries most is in a fragmentary state). Many medieval bishops effigies are to be seen (many forming a posthumous 13th century commemoration of earlier Saxon bishops) along with three chantry chapels. In the north transept is the famous medieval astronomical clock with its painted dials and jousting knights marking the quarter hours.
One of the most exquisite features is the chapter house also on the north side, approached via a delightfully timeworn staircase and covered by a particularly attractive vaulted ceiling. It is one of the highlights of the building and shouldn't be missed. The cloisters on the south side are also a delight to wander through and were one of the last major additions to the cathedral.
Wells Cathedral is without a doubt one of the country's greatest treasures and in my mind one of the most beautiful churches anywhere and even its surroundings are a joy to explore. It is sad to think of it closed at present owing to the current lockdown, it deserves to be visited and enjoyed again by all once the present crisis is over.
