Sonora, Texas: Historic Marker:
In 1884, F. E. Ruffini received a duplicate set of plans for the Tom Green County Courthouse from his brother, Oscar, who had been hired as superintendent of construction for the new courthouse in San Angelo. F. E. was so taken with the design by W. W. Larmour that he adapted the form to create his plans for the Blanco County Courthouse in Blanco. The design proved so successful, Ruffini quickly presented the plans to two other counties: Callahan and Concho (Dickey, pp. 125-6). After F. E. Ruffini's death in 1885, Oscar submitted the plans to secure courthouse commissions in Sutton and Mills Counties. Of the five courthouses constructed using the design, three survive, in Blanco, Concho and Sutton Counties. The Second Empire-styled courthouse is laid out on the traditional cross-axial plan, with wide corridors dividing the ground floor into four equal quadrants. Offices and storage spaces located in these quadrants were allocated in the original plan to the county and district clerks, sheriff, county treasurer, tax assessor, surveyor, county judge and chambers for the commissioners' court. Stairways at either side of the east-west hall rise simply to a graceful curve at the top. An imposingly scaled courtroom and several jury rooms occupy the second floor. Much of the historic interior detailing can be seen in the pressed metal ceilings and handsome wooden staircases. On the exterior of the two-story stone structure, the walls are constructed with cream-colored ashlar masonry, with cut stone quoins and a cut stone stringcourse that separates the two floors and forms a base for the tall narrow window openings. A wide metal cornice is carried on ornamental brackets. Above the cornice rests the mansard roof, rising in three sections and featuring framed circular dormers and metal trim that contrasts with the cornice. Mansard pavilions with wrought iron cresting accent the entry bays. At each elevation the entrances are further emphasized by a triangular pediment. The north and south entries are flanked by projecting bays with cornices slightly higher than the adjacent wall surfaces.

St Michael, Sutton, Cambridgeshire
Variously Sutton-by-Castor, Sutton-cum-Upton and Sutton-in-the-Soke to differentiate it from other nearby Suttons, although locals presumably call it plain old Sutton. I caught the 0600 from Ipswich, an easy thing to do now the mornings are lighter, and arrived at Peterborough soon after 0730. I cycled out on the Green Wheel, the network of cycleways in and around the city, through lovely woodland beside the Nene Valley Railway for about five miles until I got to Castor. Peterborough is very much a typical Cambridgeshire town or city in brick, and so to emerge from the woods into a stone-built landscape made it feel, as before, that I had left East Anglia through the back door.
Here it was I saw my first red kite of the day, gliding low over the adjacent trees. They are such inquisitive birds, not shy at all, so very unlike buzzards. I decided to count how many I saw on this trip, and it was a total of 23, by far the most I've ever seen. I resisted Castor's lovely church (in my Cambridgeshire top five) and headed on through Ailsworth and into Sutton. I visited the church here last May, but it was at the end of a long day and on that occasion I didn't bother to go for the key. This time I did, disturbing the very cheerful keyholder as she had her breakfast. Incidentally, the sign on the church door says that it is 'usually open in Summer' - well, after two visits it would seem that May does not count as summer around here, or possibly I was simply too early at 0830.
Last time I was here I'd come from enjoying the intriguing charms of the remote and obscure church at Upton, a couple of miles to the north. I took back the key and descended by a narrow lane to the A47, which took me by surprise. I was halfway around the roundabout before I realised I was on it, and then off the other side and down into the tiny village of Sutton.
Not to be confused with the large village of Sutton that straddles the ridge to the west of Ely, this is Sutton in the Soke rather than Sutton in the Isle. 'A charming small village between the A47 and the Nene' says Pevsner, but in reality I didn't think it was any more charming than any other village I'd visited so far today, and less so than some. It was convoluted and maze-like however, and it took me a while to find the church, and I only did so with the help of a friendly young East European man who was taking his fierce attack dog for a walk. I assumed he was keeping it and training it for a time when Britain votes to leave the EU and the local UKIP stormtrooper old ladies come and give him a disapproving tut. He couldn't give me directions with his hands as he was restraining it from killing me - it was howling like a banshee and throwing itself at me at the end of the short chain he had it collared on, and although it was muzzled I had no doubt that if it attacked me it could have knocked me down and trampled me to death - but thanks to his help I eventually I found the church.
Another towerless church, but convoluted in an interesting way with a chancel aisle. It took me a moment to work out which end was which. As I say, on that occasion I didn't go for the key. Time was getting on, I wanted to visit one remaining church and catch the 1750 back to Ipswich (it is annoying that there is only a two-hourly service on this route, though an hourly one is planned). Pevsner got excited about the chancel arch, but beyond that there didn't seem to be any excitements that I couldn't put off to another day.
But now another day had come. So I stepped down into this small church, the chancel offset to the north. They've converted the nave into a village hall, but the chancel is jewel-like, especially in this early morning early summer light from the east. The Norman chancel arch, common enough around here where there doesn't seem to have been much money about in the later middle ages, has interlaced strapwork on the capitals with one looming face grinning out at you, the straps emerging from his mouth like an early green man. I liked the church and was glad I'd gone inside.
I took back the key, and asked a jolly lady walking her dog if I was on the right route for the footpath across to the Wansford railway bridge. Actually, I knew I was, but I wanted to make sure that the footpath shown on my OS map still existed, and also what condition I might find it in. The problem with exploring Northamptonshire from Peterborough is that there are only two crossings of the river between Peterborough and Stamford. One is the A1(M) and the other is the dualled A47, and as you may imagine neither is suitable for a bike. So it meant taking advantage of one of the foot crossings, but I wondered what state they might be in after the long, wet winter.
She said it definitely existed, but it was boggy and marshy and I probably wouldn't get across without wet feet. Fortunately, this turned out not to be the case, and although I had to lift my bike over a stile and push it for about half a mile, it turned out to be a pleasant fifteen minute walk along the bank of the Nene around a field of cows with extraordinarily long horns. They were guarding their calves, and I was glad that the track didn't force me to go through the middle of them. As well as a footway, the bridge carries the Nene Valley Railway from its main base at Wansford station over the Nene and then for six miles straight into the middle of Peterborough, a happy arrangement for a heritage railway. It always seems to be packed whenever I see it.
As I walked, I thought about what a lazy river the Nene is, so languid and drifting. Unlike the Ouse, which always seems to be busy, in a hurry with somewhere to get to. I reached the bridge, hauled my bike across and headed north on the old Great North Road, the noise from the motorway to the west horrendous after the peace of the water meadows. At Stibbington, a road took me across the motorway and then up, up, up to the Elton to Wansford road on the ridge. Once again I turned north to Wansford, reaching the posh southern part, 'Wansford in England', and I crossed back over the Nene again on the medieval bridge. The northern part of Wansford was in Northamptonshire until the 1890s, then became part of the Soke of Peterborough until 1965 when it was assimilated into Huntingdonshire before becoming, in 1974, part of the new Cambridgeshire. It is so remote from the bureaucrats at County Hall in Cambridge that I shouldn't think they even knew it existed, but fortunately for them in 1998 it became part of the Peterborough unitary authority, still ceremonially a part of Cambridgeshire but governed from the nearer city.
I cycled past Wansford church, resisting the temptation to go inside and see the wonderful font again, turned off on a side road and before I even left the urban area a sign welcomed me to Northamptonshire proper.
Now, I don't like to moan, as you know. But when I was younger, the Northamptonshire signs used to say 'Welcome to Northamptonshire, Rose of the Shires', which I think was a lovely thing for them to say. I was shocked a couple of years back to pass one and see it had become 'Northamptonshire, Helping your Business Grow' - really sets the heart beating, doesn't it. Perhaps I wasn't the only one who raised an eyebrow, because this slogan has now become 'Let Yourself Grow!', and they are back to welcoming us again, but it still isn't the same.

The Parish Church of Saint Anne
The village of Sutton Bonnington is located in the Rushcliffe district of south Nottinghamshire.
Sutton Bonington is an unusual village in that it has two medieval churches, St Michael's and St Anne's, a legacy from the days when Sutton and Bonington were two separate villages.
The church of St Anne was originally the parish church for Sutton, is has a 13th century north arcade and chancel and a 14th century nave.
Class 47/0 47237 adds to the somewhat gloomy atmosphere at Sutton Bridge Junction as it accelerates southbound with a train of empty bogie ballast hoppers I assumed for loading at Bayston Hill Quarry.
Delivered from Brush Traction, Loughborough in November 1965, D1914 was allocated to Cardiff Canton. The locomotive has enjoyed a long a varied career having worked for EWS, DRS, Cotswold Rail and Advenza Freight before joining the West Coast Railway Company's operational fleet.
