The Grade I Listed Bishop's Palace, Wells, Somerset.
Construction began around 1210 by Bishop Jocelin of Wells but principally dates from 1230. Bishop Jocelin continued the cathedral building campaign begun by Bishop Reginald Fitz Jocelin, and was responsible for building the Bishop's Palace, as well as the choristers' school, a grammar school, a hospital for travellers and a chapel within the liberty of the cathedral. The chapel and great hall were built between 1275 and 1292 for Bishop Robert Burnell. The windows had stone tracery. Stone bosses where the supporting ribs meet on the ceiling are covered with representations of oak leaves and the Green Man. The building is seen as a fine example of the Early English architectural style.
In the 14th century, Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury continued the building. He had an uneasy relationship with the citizens of Wells, partly because of his imposition of taxes, and surrounded his palace with crenellated walls, a moat and a drawbridge. The 5 metres (16 ft) high three-storey gatehouse, which dates from 1341, has a bridge over the moat. The entrance was protected by a heavy gate, portcullis and drawbridge, operated by machinery above the entrance, and spouts through which defenders could pour scalding liquids onto any attacker. The drawbridge was still operational in 1831 when it was closed after word was received that the Palace of the Bishop of Bristol was subject to an arson attack during the Bristol riots. These took place after the House of Lords rejected the second Reform Bill. The proposal had aimed to get rid of some of the rotten boroughs and give Britain's fast growing industrial towns such as Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Bradford and Leeds greater representation in the House of Commons; however there was no rioting in Wells. The water which filled the moat flowed from the springs in the grounds which had previously chosen its own course as a small stream separating the cathedral and the palace and causing marshy ground around the site. The moat acted as a reservoir, controlled by sluice gates, which powered watermills in the town.
The north wing (now the Bishop's House) was added in the 15th century by Bishop Beckington, with further modifications in the 18th century, and in 1810 by Bishop Beadon. It was restored, divided, and the upper storey added by Benjamin Ferrey between 1846 and 1854. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1548, Bishop Barlow sold Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset the palace and grounds. These were recovered after the Duke's execution in 1552.
In the 1550s, Bishop Barlow sold the lead from the roofs of the great hall. This resulted in it falling into a ruined state. It can be seen in an engraving of 1733 but was largely demolished around 1830 by Bishop Law. He created a "more picturesque ruin" by removing the south and east walls and laying out and planting the area previously occupied by the great hall. The palace was used as a garrison for troops in both the English Civil War and Monmouth Rebellion after which it was used as a prison for rebels after the Battle of Sedgemoor.
Bishop Kidder was killed during the Great Storm of 1703, when two chimney stacks in the palace fell on him and his wife, while they were asleep in bed. A central porch was added around 1824 and, in the 1840s and 1850s, Benjamin Ferrey restored the palace and added an upper storey. He also restored the chapel using stained glass from ruined French churches.
The palace now belongs to the Church Commissioners and is managed and run by The Palace Trust. The main palace is open to the public, including the medieval vaulted undercroft, chapel and a long gallery, although the Bishops House is still used as a residence and offices. There is a cafe overlooking the Croquet Lawn. The palace is licensed for weddings and used for conferences and meetings. The croquet lawn in front of the palace is used on a regular basis. The palace was used as a location for some of the scenes in the 2007 British comedy Hot Fuzz, and more recently in the 2016 film The Huntsman.

Well of inspiration
Yes, even I run dry of inspiration, sometimes. Lately, blogs haven’t been doing much for me.
My Google News feed is turning into trash as I consistently click on advice columns, “health” articles, and trend pieces. I have, though found some recent style inspo when clicking through to Who, What, Wear. I think it was an article on “how to style a denim skirt,” that prompted me to wear a button-front shirt with my quickly disintegrating mini.

a new memorial under the first avenue bridge, near the fence. i have to go back and reread the name again. what i am getting at this point is Styles, Cerulta Sunshine not sure about the Cerulta part.
i was thinking it could have been a homeless man who died nearby?
anyone have any thoughts?
someone is paying attention to it as they righted the blown-over traffic cones after a windy night and added some flowers.
maybe a pet?
Parts combo customs in the spirit of the old 12" Adventure Team figures. Little or no paint on these guys.
I made some really oddball weapons choices, such as a bow for Flint and nunchucks for Clutch, but for some reason that enhanced the Adventure vibe for me. I guess because the old figures were more meant to be whatever you wanted, rather than adhering to a strict character concept.
Here rests Jörgen Andersson, and Rolf, his father, and Irene, grandmother, and Karl, grandfather. God bless their souls. Jonathan did the carving.

Located on South College St in Trenton, Tennessee, the Peabody High School was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under criteria A & C for its historical and architectural importance to this West Tennessee city. The Peabody High School was designed by Rueben A. Heavner, a regionally important architect who specialized in school buildings and residences beginning in the early twentieth century and reflects the Neo-Classical style of architecture that he was known for. Built in 1917, the structure served as the primary high school for the young people of Trenton for over sixty years.
As early as 1876, Professor Gentry R. McGee began laying the foundations for the establishment of public education in Gibson County. After securing $1,000.00 from the Peabody Education Fund, an endowment established by George Peabody to aid education in the South, a public school building was constructed in Trenton. But by early 1917, the original Peabody School building was inadequate to serve the growing number of students in Trenton and the surrounding area. Selected as the building's architect was Heavner, a prominent architect from Jackson, TN, who had designed high schools for the towns of Jackson and Lexington, TN previously. His designs mostly take their significant architectural features from Greek or Roman classicism. Examples of Heavner's work are found in the Jackson City Hall, New Southern Hotel (Jackson, TN), First National Bank (Jackson, TN), Old Jackson High School, and many buildings erected at Fort Pillow, Tennessee. (And several of these can be found in my photostream as well.) Peabody High School is an example of Heavner's design which reflect the Neo-Classical features which were popular during his early career. Noteworthy features on the building include the paired giant ionic columns which sit on a raised ashlar basement and support a full entablature, and the stone door surrounds on the wing entrances with entablature above simply inscribed "GIRLS" on the right and "BOYS" on the left. And, throughout the years, Peabody High School has remained one of Trenton's most significant structures. Few alterations have been made to the facade of the building and it retains its early 20th century architectural character. So, it was added to the NRHP on November 23, 1984. More information like above can be read on the original documents submitted for listing consideration that can be found here:
