The church has long been connected with the Archbishop of Canterbury, sitting on his doorstep as it were, but was originally part of the see of Rochester to which dues were paid right up to the 20th century. The church was deconsecrated in 1972 and fell into disrepair. It was saved from demolition by the establishment of a Museum of Garden history in the church and grounds, in part because Britain first true botanical gardeners, John Tradescant and his son, are both buried in the churchyard. Other graves of note are that of Capt William Bligh, of The Bounty fame, and Elias Ashemole, once a vicar of the parish and founder of the Ashemolean Museum in Oxford.
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.

Day Nine .. Dolgellau making our way to Liverpool where we are staying the night.
St Mary’s Church, Dolgellau stands on the site of a medieval one, dating back to at least 1254 when it was mentioned in records. The current church is rare (for Wales) being Early Georgian, it was built AROUND the old one, which still continued to hold services. The old church was only demolished when the new one was completed (around 1716-1723) and then the old building was removed from within it.
The font from the original church, built circa 1250, is on display near the entrance. This was placed during the time of John Ellis, who was Rector from 1646-1665 and was also founder of the Dolgellau Grammar School. A chantry alter is recorded as having been located in the church in 1558.
The church contains a 14th century Effigy of Meurig ap Ynyr Fychan, an ancestor of Hywel Sele and the Nanney/Vaughan families of nearby Nannau. This used to lay in the chancel of the old church, but was moved to one of the north windows. A piece of the wall was removed to accommodate his feet. His sword is dated 1723, when the nave was completed.
The nave was constructed using dressed slate stones and the wooden posts were brought over the hills from Dinas Mawddy using oxen. They used to have brass coffin plates nailed to them, which was a custom at the time, but these have now been removed.
The tower was probably begun around 1727. The churchyard was extended to the north-west by ten roods in 1792.
There was also major restoration in 1864 and the chancel arch dates to this time. A central window was inserted in 1901.
The upper room (on the western end) was added in 1992 by Roy Olsen of Dolgellau. It is bow-fronted with arched windows.

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.

sandstone neo-Gothic building that is known as the 'Old-College'. This was the first university building in Aberystwyth. Although some teaching still goes on in this building, it is now mainly given over to university administration.

ELEGIES SOLITUDE
Abîme à franchir seule, où personne, oh ! Personne
ne touchera ma main froide à tous après toi ;
seulement à ma porte, où quelquefois Dieu sonne,
le pauvre verra, lui, que je suis encor moi,
si je vis ! Puis, un soir, ton essor plus paisible
s' abattra sur mon coeur immobile, brisé
par toi, mais tiède encor d' avoir été sensible
et vainement désabusé !

Took this at that "castle" it's called Lambert castle and it's in NJ.
The guy who built the place, Catholine Lambert sadly lost almost all of his children as infants or before the age of 10. This is Florence Lambert
"Their oldest daughter Florence, married and had a child in 1882 and another child in 1883. She died of pneumonia soon after, at the age of 24. Florence’s death was to forever sadden Lambert. In fact, one of the stained glass windows in the Castle is a portrait of Florence. "
It's a really beautiful window. I wish I could have gotten the light rays, the high window they were coming from, and the entire stained glass window all in one shot, but it was impossible because of how the steps, walls, and everything was set up. This shot shows as much as possible.

'While there has been a church at the site of Holy Sepulchre for much longer, the current building dates from c.1450 when it was ‘newly re-edified or builded’ by Sir John Popham. The walls, porch and most of the tower all date from this rebuilding.
The interior is a polyglot of different styles and re-designs. The church was completely gutted in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the interior had to be totally re-built. The legend is that Sir Christopher Wren was supposed to do the work, but the Church Wardens at the time got bored of waiting and organised it themselves! Since then the interior has been substantially changed a number of times: in 1712; in 1737; in 1790 in 1834; in 1878; in 1932; and 1955.
There are two significant chapels in the church, The Royal Fusiliers Chapel in the South-East of the church, The Musicians’ Chapel on the North side of the Nave.'

The Church of the Holy Rude is the second oldest building in Stirling after the castle. Founded in 1129 during the reign of David I (1124 - 1153) as the parish church of Stirling.
Robert II, during his reign (1371-1390), founded an altar to the Holy Rude and thereafter the Church of Stirling became known as the Parish Church of The Holy Rude of the Burgh of Stirling. "Holy Rude" means Holy Cross, giving it the same origin as Holyrood in Edinburgh. David I's church was destroyed with much of Stirling by a catastrophic fire in March 1405. Shortly afterwards a grant was made by the Lord Chamberlain of Scotland to have a new church built. The Nave, South Aisle with rounded Scots pillars, Gothic arches and original oak-timbered roof and the Tower were completed about 1414.
Tradition says that King James IV may have helped masons build the later eastern end during the early 16th century. In 1567 the infant King James VI was crowned here, by which time the church was a reformed place of worship. Bullet marks on the tower may date from a siege of Stirling Castle by Cromwell's troops in 1651.
Because of its close links with the castle, the church always had the support and patronage of the Stuart kings, especially in the 15th, 16th and early 17th centuries, and is the only church in the United Kingdom other than Westminster Abbey to have held a coronation and still be a living church today.
