way too busy with the less than pleasurable aspects of life but did have a few minutes to make some edits.

Bright afternoon light on Canadian Coast Guard Ship Teleost departing St. John's harbour. The Battery and Chain Rock as backdrop.

We walked up to the Cape Spear Lighthouse using this path. When we got to the top, it was barracaded with a sign (on the other side) that said "Trail Closed for Winter". We managed.

St John’s College, Cambridge, December 2020

Hampstead was granted to the Benedictine monks of Westminster Abbey by charter in 986. It is likely that they placed a church there soon afterwards, but the first records of one come from 1312 (when it was recorded that John de Neuport was its priest) and 1333 (through a mention of a Chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary).

 

As Hampstead grew in popularity and size as an out-of-town health resort, the small existing church grew less and less adequate and derelict, being finally declared unusable by 1744. A new church was built on designs by Henry Flitcroft and John Sanderson, and dedicated on 8 October 1747.

 

However, by 1827 this was again too small, though it took until 1843 for extension plans by Robert Hesketh to be agreed upon. This extended the church 30 ft westwards by means of transepts, adding 524 more seats.

 

In 1871 plans were mooted for 'beautifying and improving' the church. These plans originally involved the demolition of the tower, but this was shelved on protests from William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, Holman Hunt, Ford Madox Brown, Anthony Trollope, George du Maurier, Coventry Patmore, F. T. Palgrave, George Gilbert Scott Jr. and others, in favour of simple extensions westwards in 1877–78 designed by F.P. Cockerell (though these extensions moved the church's high altar to the geographical west end, rather than the more usual east end).

 

In 1911–12 the Vestries were improved by Temple Moore, who also added a Morning Chapel, whilst in 1958 the dark Victorian interior scheme was removed and the original lighter, whitewashed scheme reinstated.

 

The building is Grade I listed.

Back in the 1970's, people started using bright, bold colors for the exteriors of buildings to inject life into the town. These "Jellybean Row Houses" are everywhere now, and they give the city such a distinct, memorable sense of place. It wouldn't be St. John's without them!

This was taken very early in the morning so most of the people were still sleeping. Our first stop at St. John, Canada.

 

Have a great Wednesday dear friends.
