My travels around the UK by car for three weeks with my son. June/July 2019 England.
On a walk around Salisbury Cathedral. Making our way from Winchester to Sidmouth where we are staying the night.
The Gorges Monument (1635) in Salisbury Cathedral is the tomb of Helena, Marchioness of Northampton and her husband Sir Thomas Gorges. Each side of the elaborate canopy above the tomb displays two cuboctahedra and an icosahedron. The monument as a whole is crowned by a celestial globe with a dodecahedron on top. This may be a reference to the Timaeus in which Plato relates each of the regular polyhedra to one of the Elements, and suggests that the dodecahedron might represent the whole Celestial Sphere.

Catching up on some photo's taken months ago before I go away!
In the latter part of the 1880's, Anglicans had met on the hill for a number of years as a branch of the parish of Saviour's in Sydenham. The Reverend Bromley ***, who lived at Thorrington, had conducted services at the Rhodes Jubilee Home from 1877 to 1898.From the turn of the century adventurous people began to build on the lower slopes of the hill and on the flat along Cashmere Road, consequently the congregation grew.There was an increasing need for Cashmere to be separated from Sydenham and become a parish in its own right - a church on the hill was neededThe site for the new church was given by John Cracroft Wilson an early hill settler, and the vicar of Sydenham Archdeacon E.A. Scott reported "The church will occupy a commanding position." The building was completed in 1908 and dedicated by Bishop Churchill Julius with an overflow congregation of over 80 people present. In 1924 the parish was named the "Parish of Cashmere Hills" and in 1999 renamed the "Parish of Cashmere." Reverend Hugh Norris became the first vicar with 13 vicars serving the parish since.

John Cowane, also known as Auld Staneybreeks was born around 1570 and was a contemporary of Guy Fawkes. The Cowane family were one of the best known merchant families in the Stirling area.
All available evidence suggests that John Cowane started his apprenticeship in his fathers booth on Broad Street. After some time as a merchant John Cowane decided that life would be more advantageous to him if he became a money lender. This activity brought our benefactor great wealth and he then invested in several shipping ventures which it is understood gave him the opportunity to travel abroad. Some unkind persons have stated that our benefactor was a pirate or at best a privateer but there appears to be little evidence to support this suggestion which no doubt was put forward by those who were obviously jealous of his position and wealth.
Not only was John Cowane a successful and wealthy merchant he was a Town Councillor for some time, became a member of Parliament for Stirling in the Scots Parliament and was also elected Dean of Guild in October of 1624.
Although John Cowane did not marry he fathered a son. This fact can be ascertained from the records of the Kirk Session of the Holy Rude Kirk in Stirling who fined John Cowane the sum of £6.00 for his offence. The poor woman who not only suffered the indignity of being an unmarried mother in 1611 was fined by the Kirk Session for her indiscretion and ordered to do public penance. It would appear that John Cowane was able to “buy out” his penance as there is no record of him being required to make any public demonstration of his repentance.
ceci est le détail d'un vitrail appelé"le pressoir Mystique". Ce vitrail date de 1622.Il fait parti d'une collection de vitraux ,les plus beaux après ceux de la Sainte Chapelle.Les deux prélats recueillent le sang du christv,représenté dans le vitrail allongé dans un pressoirrectangulaire,dont la presse est une croix en tau.Le sang qui jaillit de son flanc est recueilli dans un calice comme le jus de la grappe écrasé.
Bien entendu tout ceci est symbolique.
The North Window: This window was presented by Susan Bridgman, one of the original library trustees, in memory of her husband Calvin Bridgman. The figure in this window is Saint Cecilia, patroness of music. She is holding a viol, the favorite instrument of Mr. Bridgman.
The interior of the building is dominated by two stained glass windows, thought to have been fabricated by H.E. Hartwell, a New York decorator and designer who was also responsible for the interior decoration of the library.
