Day Nineteen .. visiting Cragside in England before making our way down to Ravenscar for the night.
Cragside, the dream home of Lord and Lady Armstrong – a Victorian house that was light-years ahead of its time. The home of hydroelectricity, Lord and Lady Armstrong used their wealth, art and science in an ingenious way. What began as a modest country retreat quickly became one of the most technologically advanced homes of the Victorian age.
It was the home of William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong, founder of the Armstrong Whitworth armaments firm. An industrial magnate, scientist, philanthropist and inventor of the hydraulic crane and the Armstrong gun, Armstrong also displayed his inventiveness in the domestic sphere, making Cragside the first house in the world to be lit using hydroelectric power. The estate was technologically advanced; the architect of the house, Richard Norman Shaw, wrote that it was equipped with "wonderful hydraulic machines that do all sorts of things". In the grounds, Armstrong built dams and lakes to power a sawmill, a water-powered laundry, early versions of a dishwasher and a dumb waiter, a hydraulic lift and a hydroelectric rotisserie. In 1887, Armstrong was raised to the peerage, the first engineer or scientist to be ennobled, and became Baron Armstrong of Cragside.

Je suis l'alouette de Mai
Qui s'élance dans le matin à tire d'ailes

Qui court après son coeur jusqu'au bout du ciel gai !

The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Catalan pronunciation: [səˈɣɾaðə fəˈmiɫiə]; English: Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family), is a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, Spain, designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Although incomplete, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site,[5] and in November 2010 Pope Benedict XVI consecrated and proclaimed it a minor basilica,[6][7][8] as distinct from a cathedral which must be the seat of a bishop.
Construction of Sagrada Família had commenced in 1882 and Gaudí became involved in 1883,[5] taking over the project and transforming it with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted his last years to the project, and at the time of his death at age 73 in 1926 less than a quarter of the project was complete.[9] Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly, as it relied on private donations and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War, only to resume intermittent progress in the 1950s. Construction passed the midpoint in 2010 with some of the project's greatest challenges remaining[9] and an anticipated completion date of 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death.
The basílica has a long history of dividing the citizens of Barcelona: over the initial possibility it might compete with Barcelona's cathedral, over Gaudí's design itself,[10] over the possibility that work after Gaudí's death disregarded his design,[10] and the recent proposal to build an underground tunnel of Spain's high-speed rail link to France which could disturb its stability.[11] Describing Sagrada Família, art critic Rainer Zerbst said, "It is probably impossible to find a church building anything like it in the entire history of art"[12] and Paul Goldberger called it, "The most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages."[13]

Day in Oxford on a cold October day in 2012. We stayed here two nights.
Christ Church Cathedral.
The cathedral was originally the church of St Frideswide's Priory. The site was historically presumed to be the location of the nunnery founded by St Frideswide, the patron saint of Oxford, and the shrine now in the Latin Chapel, originally containing relics translated at the rebuilding in 1180, was the focus of pilgrimage from at least the 12th until the early 16th century.
In 1522, the priory was surrendered to Thomas Cardinal Wolsey, who had selected it as the site for his proposed college. However, in 1529 the foundation was taken over by Henry VIII. Work stopped, but in June 1532 the college was refounded by the King. In 1546, Henry VIII transferred to it the recently created See of Oxford from Osney. The cathedral has the name of Ecclesia Christi Cathedralis Oxoniensis, given to it by Henry VIII's foundation charter.
There has been a choir at the cathedral since 1526, when John Taverner was the organist and also master of the choristers. The statutes of Wolsey's original college, initially called “Cardinal College”, mentioned 16 choristers and 30 singing priests.
Christ Church Cathedral is one of the smallest cathedrals in the Church of England.
The nave, choir, main tower and transepts are late Norman. There are architectural features ranging from Norman to the Perpendicular style and a large rose window of the ten-part (i.e. botanical) type.

Oxford, a city in central southern England, revolves around its prestigious university, established in the 12th century. The architecture of its 38 colleges in the city’s medieval center led poet Matthew Arnold to nickname it the 'City of Dreaming Spires'. University College and Magdalen College are off the High Street, which runs from Carfax Tower (with city views) to the Botanic Garden on the River Cherwell.

Day 2: Oxford on a cold October day in 2012. We stayed here two nights.
A church was established on this site, at the centre of the old walled city, in Anglo-Saxon times; records of 1086 note the church as previously belonging to an estate held by Aubrey de Coucy, likely Iffley, and the parish including part of Littlemore.
The University Church of St Mary the Virgin is an Oxford church situated on the north side of the High Street. It is the centre from which the University of Oxford grew and its parish consists almost exclusively of university and college buildings.

C'est le mois de Marie
C'est le mois le plus beau

Good Shepherd Parish was founded in 1868 by Elizabeth Colt, a wealthy Victorian lady with a vision of a church where the owners, management and laborers at the Colt Armory could worship together. Its church was consecrated, the following year. In 1895, Mrs. Colt built a spacious, three-story parish house to be a community center for the parish and its neighborhood. When she died in 1905, she left a trust fund to help provide for the parish’s continuing maintenance and ministry.
The church was built in memorial to Colonel Samuel Colt and three of his children who died in infancy. The consecration was January 28, 1869. Its architect was Edward Tuckerman Potter of New York. The style was early English / Gothic with Portland freestone and Ohio sandstone.

Sooner or later, all these stainglass-windows will be destroyed by the time, the weather, the vandalism... Many of them are signed by great artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. These stainglass-windows are in little funeral chapels. I hope these pictures could be appreciated by those who love this kind of Art.
This is an amazing place. But you can only photographs the outside and NO PHOTOGRAPHY INSIDE.
The is an amazing chapel. Shame you cannot photograph the amazing inside. The guide and the history of the place is brilliant.
You would not be able to photograph because you are packed in like sardines. There are that many people visiting the chapel.
Church of Saint Patrick (1864), Akaroa day one on our two day trip away to escape from the earthquake repair/paint on our house. May 22, 2012.
The first mass was celebrated in Akaroa in 1840, and this church was built in the 1860s.
The French clergyman Bishop Pompallier offered the first Mass in the South Island at Akaroa. This pretty church, with its dark backdrop of manuka bush and ornate fret-worked fascia boards, is the third on the site (the first burned down; the second blew away!).
Constructed from rough-sawn totara slabs the interior features an intricate stained glass window behind the altar, various plaster icons and side windows with red crosses and Latin inscriptions. Stand at the front of the nave and look down the rows of pews to the view of French Bay out the front door.

Akaroa is a village on Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, situated within a harbour of the same name. The name Akaroa is Kāi Tahu Māori for 'Long Harbour'.
Akaroa is 84km by road from Christchurch and is the terminus of State Highway 75. Set on a beautiful, sheltered harbour and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills, Akaroa is a popular resort village and in summer the temporary population can reach 7,000 which places stress on the summer water supply, which is entirely dependent upon rainfall on the hills.
Many Hector's Dolphins may be found within Akaroa harbour, and 'swim with the dolphins' boat tours are a major tourist attraction.

We arrived in late morning in Bath by train from London. Spent one night there and most of the next day.
Bath Abbey is a parish church of the Church of England and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, it was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country. The medieval abbey church served as a sometime cathedral of a bishop. After long contention between churchmen in Bath and Wells the seat of the Diocese of Bath and Wells was later consolidated at Wells Cathedral. The Benedictine community was dissolved in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

St Mary's Church, Parnell day two of our trip away to Auckalnd and Northland and the sun may shine! March 2012, New Zealand.
The window's were designed by Claudia Pond Eyley and were made at the Galssworks Studio, Auckland and the glass used was handblown by St Just in Lyon, France.
(It was around 2003 these stain glass windows were made)
The left Window: The Spirit of the Land, Aotearoa. The dove of the Holy Sprit hovers over the terrain. The panel is anchored with images of woman and children and with care offered by women's social service organisations.
The Right Window: The Hikoi of Hope. This window expresses the commitment of the Anglican Church to reach out to the broader community. In early 1999 the Hikoi of Hope or the march against poverty to Wellington highlighted the need for economic justice. The contemporary cruciform pattern has become the logo of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. The heading of the window contains the wafer and chalice, symbols Christ's continunuing sacramental presence with his people.
