Curramulka.
This central Yorke Peninsula township near Port Vincent was established in 1878 when the area was first opened up for farming as the pastoral leases were resumed by the government. The Hundred of Curramulka was created in 1874 when Anstey and Giles who had a run from Curramulka to Yorketown and Stephen Goldsworthy who had a run from Pine Point to Mount Rat had their leases terminated. Surveying of the Hundred began and land (up to 640 acres) was sold on credit to the first farmers in September 1876. The dense Mallee and Sheoak scrub then had to be felled and cleared (mullenised with rollers). The town of Curramulka was laid out as a government town for the entire hundred with a north, south, east and west terraces etc in 1878. It was sited near a deep waterhole in massive limestone rocks where emus used to drink. Hence the name of the settlement. The town name came from curre (emu) and mulka (deep waterhole). Water for the town was supplied from a well 150 feet deep dug and blasted out by Anstey and Giles on their sheep run in 1865. The well provided a stable level and good quality water for the town as it became the government well and the land around it became the town. A windmill was erected over the well in 1884. It was in the small park opposite the hotel.
The town developed quickly as allotments were sold in October 1878. A few structures were built near the well before the town was gazetted. They included a blacksmith shop, a small general store and a wood and iron Wesleyan Methodist Church. This church was used as a school. All of this was unoffical. The first official building started in the town was the hotel in November 1878. The first official general store opened in 1879 as did a Luxmoore’s Wheat Store which was used for public meetings, Baptist church services and social events. By the mid 1880s the town had Methodist and Anglican churches, a hotel, stores, a weatherboard government school room (1880) and an Institute which was erected in 1885. The first bank opened in 1883. They all still remain in the town. As the town sits on solid limestone the original location for a cemetery had to be changed as graves could only be dynamited out of the rock! It was established in the “suburban lands” south of the township. The first iron Wesleyan Methodist Church was built in 1878 but it was removed when the stone Wesleyan Church was erected in 1882. It then became a Sunday school hall when a fine new Methodist Church was built in 1912 but it no longer exists. The Anglican Church was built some time later in 1914. A parishioner donated two blocks of land for the church and it opened in January 1915. But the first Anglicans services began in 1878 and were later held in the school or the institute. Almost all buildings in the town were constructed of local limestone blocks. The Baptists held early services in the Wheat Store in 1881. They soon had their own stone church in 1882. It closed in 1914 and eventually became a private dwelling at 14 High Street opposite the old hospital. The weatherboard school was replaced with a fine stone school room in 1891.The nearest port for the grain farmers of the district was Port Julia.
Curramulka buildings.
On entering the town from the Minlaton road.
•On left is the Curramulka Hotel 1878. It has fine old stone stables in the yard. The northern section in the side street was added in 1906.
•Next on left is the old General Store. Built in 1886 for Albert Talbot.
•Oppose on right is the Post Office with the ugly front addition which was erected in 1927. The first postal service began in Mr Douglas’s general store in 1880. The stone Post Office and telegraph station opened in 1885. The Morse code service ended in 1931 when the telephone was connected to the Post Office! Until 1925 mail came by steamer from Port Adelaide to Stansbury or Port Vincent. Two buildings behind the Post Office is the 1914 Anglican Church.
•Next on left is the former Bank of Adelaide. Built in an austere Depression style in 1935.
•Opposite on right is the General Store. Originally built as such in 1880 for Alexander Douglas. The façade was rebuilt in 1937 in Art Deco style. It became a Serv-Wel Store in 1967.
•On right next door to the General Store is the former blacksmith’s shop. A wood and iron blacksmith’s was built for Daniel Tucker in 1880. He built stump jump ploughs from 1881. He was a major implement manufacturer and added a stone workshop in 1908. This was the Curramulka Implement Manufactory. Look behind the current façade of Curramulka General Agencies to see the old stone building.
•Next door on the right the ugly 1950 building was a motor garage. Before this was erected here the town’s electricity supply and an earlier motor garage was on this site from 1908. Electricity was generated from 1922.
•Vacant land on left before the Methodist Church was Luxmoore’s the stone Wheat Store building. It was demolished in 1972.
•Methodist Church on left 1912. The vestry behind it was added in 1936.
•Institute on left 1885 with 1921 addition. Catholic masses were held here from 1921.
•On right the War Memorial and gardens. The memorial was erected in 1922.
•On left former Baptist Church 1882 now unrecognisable as a church.
•Opposite on right is the grand government hospital built in 1927. The hospital closed in 1967. The first town hospital opened elsewhere in 1912.
•On right next door is the doctor’s residence. Built in 1915 for Dr Shanahan. Catholic masses were held here until he left the town in 1921. Turn left at this corner.
•On left is the state school. It began in 1878. This stone gothic style SA school was built in 1891. Turn left at the school. Then take third left turn to return to the hotel area.
•On the left is another double gable fronted general store. These premises were erected around 1898 as a fruit and vegetable store. Behind the store was the early blacksmithing business of T Twelftree. His son sold groceries as well until the family left Curramulka in 1909. The store closed in 1912.
•Directly opposite on the right is a former saddlery. Another crucial 19th century business for a town like Curramulka. W George ran a saddlery here in the 1890s. The saddlery had various owners until it closed during World War Two. The stone house next door was used as a wheelwright business from 1885 to 1902.

No matter what, your path is yours. Dont follow misery or worry. Devote every moment of your life to improving your dreams. Love your world. Cherish the good you do. Let go of hatred. Dream of love.”
SAN JOSE / ST. JOSEPH
18th Century
Filipino
Ivory, gilding and polychromy
Wooden gilded base in the shape of Pandan leaves
Height: 15.675 cm. or 7 1/8 in w/o base. 27.9 cm. or 12 in. with base.
St. Joseph cradles the infant Christ child on his left arm while holding a metal foliate staff in the right hand. The base is gessoed and gilded wood made in the shaped of Pandan leaves. Both the figures of St. Joseph and the Christ child are in good condition with loss of fingers of left hand. Portions of the gilding on the draped tunic has been lost over time. There also appears to be loss at reverse of base of head. Also there are some loss to gesso and gilt ground of the wooden pedestal
My Initial Assessment:
Stylistically, the carving of the image of St. Joseph appears that to be of the 18th century. That of the infant Christ child, on the other hand, is more consistent with the carving style of the 19th century. Therefore, it would appear that the image of the Christ child is a latter (perhaps 19th century or even a 20th century) replacement of the original infant.
There is significant damage to the St. Joseph's head particularly noticeable in the back. It would seem that the image may have fallen (due to an earthquake, perhaps) and the neck broke off causing a significant loss to the back portion of the nape. An attempt was made to put the head back in place and paint over the broken portion hence the curious red ribbon on the back portion of the neck. There are two holes in the back of the neck. One may have been used for an earlier payong aureola. The second hole may have made when the payong was replaced with a standard round "diadema". Or could this be a hole where a pilgrim's hat may have once been affixed?
The gilding on St. Joseph's vestment is rather fine. But the polychormy on the face and head (particualry around the brow line) is noticeably sloppy. Could it be possible that the head is also a latter addition to an existing 18th century body? Or could it be that the head was merely repainted by an unskilled painter?
My Secondary Assessment:
On second (and more thorough thought) I would agree with your (Noel's) observation. As a result of our conversation, I started looking closely at all the examples of images of San Jose noted in Jose's book, Images of Faith. The examples that I refer to are pictured below. The St. Joseph is not 18th century but more likely second half of the 19th century. The nino is a new, 20th century replacement. It is not a "pek pek" but new nonetheless.
The collar of this San Jose is very similar to that found on San Jose #1 and San Jose #3. The treatment of the collar -- carved and gilded to simulate lacework -- has very strong similarities to the San Jose #3. San Jose #1 and San Jose #2 have their hair carved flowing down the side of the head. San Jose #3 and the San Sebastian have their hair carved as if being blown away from the face. These two are definitely 19th century.
The random scattering of foliate gilding is consistent with the way Philippine images were decorated. The gilding on San Jose #2 is very similar to the gilding on the one pictured above. In both images, the hem of the vestment is profusely decorated with the large majority of the foliate pattern decorations radomly scattered all over the body. And both seem to be decorated in the rococo tri-foil "fleur de lys" pattern.
The only thing throwing me off is the use of the red ground as base for the gilding on the St. Josesph being offered to me. The red ground base occurs in 17th century examples (see San Miguel in Power Faith Image, p. 152. This is most obvious around the sash, the hem of St. Joseph's vestment, the area where the gown drapes over the left shoulder (right behind the head of t he nino), and finally around the broken neck area. Otherwise, the random foliate gilding around of the vestment seem to have been applied directly on the vestment without benefit of the red base. This practice, too, is consistent with how gold gilding is applied in Philippine ivory images.
Moreover, and if you would look at the back of the image, you would note that the hair is carved in thick, ropy single strand similar to the way the back hairs of the Bohol Bell Jar Madonna in my photostream is carved. But instead of terminating in just cascading hair, the St. Josehp's hair is carved in such as way that the hair terminates in short but curly, and ropy curls reminscent of 17th century images of the Purisima. See Jose's Images of Faith, p. 69.
Finally and in defense of the seller, he is not passing this off as 18th century. He stated in the item description that this is Spanish Colonial, made in Manila probably around 1860.

Got this third party 1/6 scale old T-800 head sculpt, waiting for the third party outfit to come out~
A second shot of Class 14 number D9521 on 20 August 2022 as it approaches its destination whilst working the 15.49 Lydney Junction to Parkend. The train is seen passing the recently installed loading gauge on the line that ran into the goods yard, much work has been done at this northern terminus of the Dean Forest Railway, I highly recommend a visit if you have not been recently.
It was good to see and hear D9521 working, but I am not a fan of locomotives in liveries that are not prototypical, but a Type 1 diesel hauling a rake of carriages liveried in maroon and chocolate/cream? Certainly more than a bit different!

Due to the rain, I never got to see much out of the window along the Cumbrian Coast, the windows were all steamed up. It was quite warm onboard considering. There was even a nice flat wheel to listen to for the entire five hours I spent on the thing.

Wedensday.
And still on the Island.
Through the night, yet more rain fell, and into the morning so I woke to the sound of yet another cloudburst. But it should be clearing soon.
So, I leap out of bed, do 50 press-ups, have a cold shower and am ready for the rigours of the day ahead, and in this I would be helped by a pot of black coffee and the finest sausage and bacon sandwich known to man.
And a man in the kitchen makes it for me, so all I have to do is eat it.
Non nom nom.
I drink the last dregs off the coffee, and I'm away to work.
It was supposed to be a slow and easy start, but I was summoned to an emergency department meeting, and needed to be at the factory to get internet access.
Our soon-to-be-ex-boss is now officially our ex-boss, and we have a new interim manager.
That's it.
So on with the audit.
Outside, the clouds did clear and the sun did shine, and did shine into the meeting room where even in November was so warm the air conditioning could not cope and we got very warm indeed.
We broke for lunch, and talked about the struggles we face, and how jolly nice the Island is.
Well, it is.
We were done by half three, so I drove back to the hotel, but saw the sign I had passed dozens of times, pointing to the 11th century church of St John the Baptist. Today would be the day to visit.
Light was fading fast, but with a warm light, and only with my compact camera, my shots won't win many prizes, but the best camera is the one you have.
From the outside, it seems to be a very Victorian church, but there is a Norman arch in the porch, and many more details inside, among the Victorian fixtures and fittings.
Inside there is a very tall and narrow Jacobian pulpit, some fine monuments from before the 19th century work, and some what I think is medieval glass, or at least fragements reset.
Back at the hotel I wrote a little then decided I really should go an exercise my fat little legs, so should walk into Cowes for a pint at the Ale House, where there was a fine firkin of porter on.
But, before then, as I walked along the promenade, over the other side of the Solent, the just past full moon rose over the Pompy skyline. It was pretty breath-taking, I leaned on railings to watch it rise and get brighter and its yellow colour fade to pure white.
Dozens of other people were doing the same thing too.
And it was a free show.
My favourite price.
I walk into town and up the Ale House, a group of sailing types were talking over pints of fizzy Eurolager, so I order porter just because I can.
There was a wide range of places to eat, most with lots of free tables.
I wasn't in a seafood mood, curry perhaps, but then at a restaurant I saw they had a dish called "sambal chicken". Sambal is a spicy chili sauce from Indonesia, that I sued to eat lots of when I was on the survey boats.
I asked, do you make your own sambal?
They did.
And cocktails were two for £15.
I order the sambal chicken and a marshmallow martini.
Very fuckin sophisticated.
The sambal was hot, just about bearable, but not not leave any doubt, it came with sliced fresh chilli, as did the Thai spiced cheesy chips.
I eat most of it all, then finish up with a "rhubarb and custard cocktail, which did mix quite poorly with the sambal on the walk back to the hotel.
Back to the hotel, I settle the bill and so all ready to leave in the morning, as I have to catch the six o'clock ferry.

The Church of St. John the Baptist is a parish church located in Northwood, Isle of Wight. The church dates from the 12th century. The mid-19th century saw extensive restoration work carried out on the church. In 1864 the wooden tower and dormer window were both swept away. The restoration was completed in 1874. Despite this restoration work, the church still retains many of its original features including a Norman arch over the south doorway and a Jacobean pulpit.

NORTHWOOD
Northewode (xiii cent.).
Northwood is a parish and village midway between Newport and Cowes, and now includes Pallance Gate. In 1894 the parish was extended to include a part of the parish of St. Nicholas. (fn. 1) The soil is for the most part loam, while the subsoil is of clay and gravel. The parish contains 4,333 acres, of which 878 acres are arable, 2,612 acres are permanent grass and 419 acres woodlands. There are also 292 acres of foreshore, 2 of land covered by water and 78 by tidal water. Cowes contains 576 acres, of which 2 acres are arable and 166 permanent grass. There are also 35 acres of foreshore and 5 acres of land covered by water. (fn. 2) There is a station on the Isle of Wight Central railway at the cement works, available for Northwood, and the pumping station of the Cowes Waterworks is situated at Broadfields within the parish. The Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers have large works on the Medina at the West Medina Mills, and there are brickworks at Hillis belonging to Messrs. Pritchett. There existed a confraternity of Brothers and Sisters of St. John Baptist (fn. 3) in a building, later called the Church House, which was standing in 1690. It was founded c. 1500 and dissolved in 1536. An old glebe barn, with a date stone 'Restored 1742,' was pulled down in 1901. There is a Council school (mixed), built in 1855 and enlarged in 1906. The rectory-house lies to the east of the church and dates from the 18th century. (fn. 4)
The parish has a long seaboard as the north-west boundary, which includes the bays of Thorness and Gurnard, the latter the landing-place of Charles II in 1671. Gurnard (fn. 5) is a small village, mostly consisting of villas with a number of artisans' dwellings. There are a coastguard station here and a Council school, erected in 1863.
Northwood Park, the property of Mr. E. Granville Ward, was occupied from 1902 to 1906 by a community of Benedictine nuns, who have since moved to Appley, near Ryde (q.v.). The house, which is properly in Cowes, was built in 1837, on the site of a former residence called Belle View, by Mr. George H. Ward, uncle to the present owner, and is a somewhat stately stone building of classic detail, to which a wing has been since added.
At Hurstake on the Medina there was in the 18th century a flourishing shipyard, but by the end of the century it had fallen to decay. (fn. 6)
Cowes was taken out of Northwood and constituted a separate parish under the Local Government Act of 1894. (fn. 7) It is a thriving seaport town, daily increasing inland to the south, and is a terminus of the Isle of Wight Central railway and the main entrance to the Isle of Wight from Southampton. A steam ferry and launch service connect it with East Cowes. The town affairs are regulated under the Local Government Act of 1894 by an urban district council, who have acquired control of the water supply and gasworks. There is a steamboat pier and landingstage, and the Victoria Promenade Pier was built by the urban district council in 1901. There are wharves and storehouses along the Medina. The principal industries are the shipbuilding business of John Samuel White & Co., Ltd., the brass and iron foundry of Messrs. William White, the ropery of Messrs. Henry Bannister & Co. and the well-known sail-making establishment of Messrs. Ratsey & Lapthorn. A recreation ground of 9 acres was presented to the town by Mr. W. G. Ward in 1859.
The main or High Street of Cowes is a narrow, winding, old-fashioned road, widening as it approaches the shore at the north end, and finally terminating in the Parade, the principal sea-front of the town. At the end of the Parade is the Royal Yacht Squadron (fn. 8) Club House, converted to its present use in 1858, and beyond is the 'Green,' made over to the town authorities in 1864 by Mr. George R. Stephenson. The well-known annual regatta is held here the first week in August. (fn. 9) The oldest inn is the 'Fountain,' by the landing-pier, dating from the 18th century. The Gloucester Hotel, by the Parade, was the former home of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and probably owes its name to the visit of the Duke of Gloucester and his sister the Princess Sophia in 1811. The Royal Marine Hotel, also on the Parade, was certainly in existence at the beginning of the 19th century. (fn. 10) A public cemetery, about half a mile south of the town, was opened in 1855, and is under a joint burial board composed of members from Cowes and Northwood.
Besides Northwood Park, the principal residences are Egypt House, (fn. 11) the property of Mr. E. Granville Ward, and Nubia House, the home of Sir Godfrey Baring, late M.P. for the Island.
The name Cowes dates from the beginning of the 16th century, before which time the port—if port it could be called—was higher up the river at Shamblers. (fn. 12) In 1512 the fleet under Sir Edward Haward victualled at Cowes (the Cowe) on its way to Guienne, (fn. 13) so it is evident the place did not take its name from the defensive work, which was certainly not built before 1539. (fn. 14) Leland speaks of forts both at East and West Cowes, (fn. 15) but the former had become a ruin by the 17th century. (fn. 16) The latter, however, was kept up and added to, and had, in addition to the gun platform and magazine, apartments for the captain and gunners, and at the end of the 18th century mounted eleven nine-pounders. (fn. 17)
The inhabitants of this part of Northwood parish seem to have been seafarers and traders, or at any rate smugglers, as early as the 14th century. In July 1395 Thomas Shepherd received a 'pardon of the forfeitures and imprisonment incurred by him because he and two of the ferrymen sold two sacks of wool to men of a skiff from Harflete, carried the said wool as far as le Soland and there delivered the same, taking money.' (fn. 18) At another time he 'sold wool without custom . . . with the clerks of the chapel of the Earl of Salisbury, and at another time with a skiff from Harflete belonging to Janin Boset of Harflue.' (fn. 19)
The merchants' houses and stores were principally at East Cowes, where most of the business was transacted; but West Cowes in the 18th century became a shipbuilding centre, contributing many first-class battleships to the English navy. (fn. 20) By the year 1780 it was 'the place of greatest consideration in the parish of Northwood,' (fn. 21) and though the town was indifferently built, with very narrow streets, the inhabitants managed to be 'in general, genteel and polite although not troublesomely ceremonious.' (fn. 22)
In 1795 there were 2,000 inhabitants and the town had a good trade in provisions to the fleets riding in the roads waiting for a wind or a convoy. While the lower part of Cowes was crowded with seamen's cottages and business premises, the upper part on the hill slope was occupied by villas, chiefly of retired naval men. (fn. 23)
By the 19th century the tide of prosperity began to flow from East to West Cowe, which became a favourite bathing and boating resort, patronized by Royalty. The town now grew rapidly, and in 1816 an Act was passed for 'lighting, cleansing and otherwise improving the town of West Cowes . . . and for establishing a market within the said town.' (fn. 24)
The advent of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and the consequent popularity of racing, put a seal on West Cowes. It became fashionable and has remained so ever since—the hub of the yachting world.
There are two halls for entertainments—the Foresters' Hall in Sun Hill and another in Bridge Road, each capable of seating over 500 people.
There are Council schools in Cross Street (infants), and a mixed school has been lately erected in the same street; boys' and infants' in York Street; non-provided (boys and girls) in Cross Street.
MANORS
There is no mention of a manor of NORTHWOOD in Domesday Book, and it seems probable that then, as in the 13th century, the greater part of the land in the parish formed a member of the manor of Bowcombe in Carisbrooke (fn. 25) (q.v.). In the 17th century this land came to be regarded as a separate manor, but it continued to follow the descent of Bowcombe (fn. 26) until the latter half of the 18th century, when it was presumably sold to the Wards, whose representative, Mr. Edmund Granville Ward, is the present lord of the manor.
There was a small holding in Northwood possibly, as Mr. Stone suggests from research he has made, to be identified with Shamlord (q.v.). It was held, together with other property, under the manor of Bowcombe by a branch of the Trenchard family at least as early as 1338. (fn. 27) In 1560 Richard Trenchard, who seems to have been the grandson of John Trenchard of Chessell in Shalfleet, died seised of this property, which he had held 'in socage by fealty and rent of 25s. yearly, suit at court and finding one man and one woman yearly to mow the corn of the farmer of Bowcombe for one day.' He was succeeded by his son William. (fn. 28)
There were also lands in Northwood which formed a member of the manor of Alvington in Carisbrooke and were held in the reign of Henry III by William de St. Martin. (fn. 29) They afterwards belonged to Sir Stephen Popham (fn. 30) and descended to Sir Nicholas Wadham in the early part of the 16th century, at which time they were regarded as a separate manor; they continued, however, to follow the descent of Alvington (q.v.).
In the reign of Henry VIII there was in the parish much woodland which belonged before the Dissolution to the Prior and convent of Christchurch Twyneham, (fn. 31) who had perhaps bought it from the abbey of St. Mary, Romsey, to which it belonged in the 13th century. (fn. 32) In 1280 this abbey had received from Edward I a confirmation of a charter of Henry II granting them 'all their wood of Northwood, as King Edward gave it to them.' (fn. 33) There is, however, no mention of any property in Northwood among the possessions of Romsey Abbey at its dissolution. In 1544 the wood was granted to Thomas Hopson (fn. 34) and subsequently followed the descent of Ningwood in Shalfleet (q.v.). It was described as 'the manor of Northwood' in 1626, at which time it was in the possession of John Hopson. (fn. 35)
The manor of WERROR (Werore, xii cent.; Werole, xiii cent.; Warror, xvi cent.) was granted to God's House, Southampton, immediately after its foundation about 1197, for it was confirmed to the hospital by Richard I in 1199. (fn. 36) It had been given to the hospital by a certain Mark, and his gift was confirmed in 1209 by his son Roger, of whom the manor was to be held at a yearly rent of 6d. (fn. 37) William de Redvers Earl of Devon (1184–1216) granted to the hospital rights of pasturage and fuel, except for six weeks each year, over the whole land of Werror which belonged to his fee, and which is described as lying within Parkhurst, Northwood, Carisbrooke and the Medina. (fn. 38)
The estate remained in the hands of successive priors until the Dissolution (fn. 39) and passed with God's House to Queen's College, Oxford, (fn. 40) by whom the manor is still owned. (fn. 41)
CHURCHES
The church of ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST lies to the east of the road from Newport to Cowes. It was built as a chapel for the northern portion of the parish of Carisbrooke in the middle of the 12th century, and consists of a chancel, a nave with north and south aisles and a modern tower with spire added at the west end in 1864. The south door is a good specimen of 12th-century work, to be classed with those of Yaverland and Wootton. Both aisles are very narrow and are of four bays, with columns having the characteristic splay-cornered capitals found elsewhere in the Isle of Wight, (fn. 42) and must have been added towards the end of the century, the south being the later. (fn. 43) There are curious flying arches across these, evidently inserted later, to withstand the thrust of the roof and carry the flat above. In the 15th century windows of the period were inserted in the walls and the chancel reroofed, (fn. 44) if not rebuilt, and a small door inserted in the north wall of the nave. There is a good canopied Jacobean pulpit, somewhat similar in detail to that at Wootton. The chancel arch is a plain splay springing direct from the wall without an impost, and looks as though the earlier one had been destroyed and the opening widened in the 15th century. The memorials of interest are a painted wooden tablet to the children of Samuel and Grace Smith, who died in 1668 and 1670, and a curious memorial to Thomas Smith, rector, who died in 1681. (fn. 45)
The one bell, founded by Mears, was hung in 1875.
The plate consists of a chalice inscribed 'T.H. E.L.'; a paten inscribed 'Thomas Troughear, D.D. istius Ecclĩae Rector,' dated 1732; a flagon (plated) inscribed 'Northwood Church, 1831'; an oval paten inscribed '1813.'
The registers date from 1539, and are in seven books (fn. 46) : (i) 1539 to 1593; (ii) 1594 to 1598; (iii) 1599 to 1605; (iv) 1606 to 1618; (v) 1621 to 1660; (vi) 1653 to 1759; (vii) 1743 to 1812.
There is a mission church in Pallance Road with a Sunday school attached.
The church of ST. MARY, WEST COWES, built in 1867 on the site of an earlier church erected in 1657, is a stone structure consisting of chancel, nave of four bays and aisles, with a tower containing one bell and a clock. It has a handsome reredos and a fine organ. There is a brass memorial tablet to Dr. Arnold of Rugby. The living is a vicarage in the gift of the vicar of Carisbrooke. The register dates from 1679.
HOLY TRINITY CHURCH
HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, built of brick in 1832 at the sole expense of the late Mrs. S. Goodwin, was enlarged by the addition of a chancel in 1862. It has a western tower with embattled cornice and angle pinnacles. The register dates from 1833. The living is in the gift of Mr. Ll. Loyd.
The Roman Catholic church of St. Thomas of Canterbury in Terminus Road is a white brick building erected in 1796. There is a large altar-piece by Cau representing the Descent from the Cross, and another of the Death of the Virgin, on the north wall.
At Gurnard is the church of ALL SAINTS, attached to Holy Trinity, Cowes. It is of brick with Bath stone dressings, and has nave, chancel, north and south transepts and a turret with one bell.
ADVOWSONS
The church of Northwood was a chapel of ease to Carisbrooke, and belonged in early times to the priory there, (fn. 47) to which it had been granted by William de Redvers Earl of Devon. When the prior and convent obtained the rectory and endowed the vicarage of Carisbrooke, the tithes of Northwood, both great and small, were assigned to the vicar. (fn. 48) In the reign of Henry VIII Northwood obtained parochial privileges and was exempted from contribution to the repairs of Carisbrooke Church. (fn. 49) The living is still attached to Carisbrooke, and the patrons at the present day are the Provost and Fellows of Queen's College, Oxford.
Cowes is ecclesiastically divided into two districts. The church of St. Mary was built in 1657, and further endowed in 1679 by George Morley Bishop of Winchester, 'provided that the inhabitants should pay the minister (who is always of their own choosing) £40 a year.' (fn. 50) The living is a vicarage, net yearly value £130, in the gift of the vicar of Carisbrooke.
The Roman Catholic church of St. Thomas of Canterbury was served at the beginning of the 19th century by two chaplains of Napoleon's Foreign Legion. The earliest register contains the names of several of the officers and men.
¶There are several large Nonconformist chapels in the town. The oldest of these is the Congregational chapel, which was built in 1804. The Wesleyan chapel was built in 1831, the Baptist chapel in 1877 and the Primitive Methodist and United Methodist Free Churches in 1889.

That new attack chopper is unbelievable. It's like something straight out of some crazy futuristic post-apocalypse movie. Then again so's basically everything else we have for this whole Bloodfall thing. The coolest thing about it is that it comes with this advanced A.I. It's responsive, like we can talk to it and give it specific orders and it'll listen while it flies the helicopter itself. As long as it doesn't go Terminator on us, I'm totally fine with this. J says I'm a natural pilot, better than he ever was. If anything that's just because when I was a teenager the computer me and my mom had at our house had a copy of Flight Simulator 2000 that I threw away way too many hours of my life on because I was too scared to ever go outside or make friends or anything. Before I met J I already had a decent enough idea of how a helicopter works and how to fly it. Hell, if I never met J I might've gone for a commercial pilot career. Not that this life ain't fun or anything. A couple days after we got the chopper, we got word of a hilariously illegal weapons shipment stopping by an old slaughterhouse near Port Adams. A block away I could already smell the rotting meat. Didn't take away from my excitement, though. because tonight I brought the Xeno Cannon with me. Might be overkill, but I don't care because I really wanna see what this'll do. And I knew I'd be using it because when we got to the gate the first thing I saw was a goddamn mercenary guarding the door next to some crates. Mercenaries are rarely decent people to start, and this one's in on illegal arms trafficking. I wasn't gonna feel too bad about making him my test dummy, but J had to ruin the moment and throw his blade at him, sliding him right in half at the waist.
"You dick! I had a perfect shot on him!"
"Sorry. Always wanted to do that."
"Goddammit, J..."
"...hm, military-grade body armor and a matching AR. An AUG to boot. Arnie loves those."
"What's in the crates? They look pretty new."
"Let's find out....holy shit, M72s? I love these!"
"They're massively illegal, though, so..."
"I'm pretty sure every congressional prick is just all for you having that laser cannon you're just oh-so casually leaning on right now."
"Could say the same about your minigun, or what did you call it? You gave it this little name, it was soooo cute! What was it?..."
"One; screw you. Two; Sasha."
"Pffffthehehehehe...."
"....and behind curtain number two is?!....ah shit..."
"...hey, I-I know that stuff.....venom, right?"
"Yep, and there's probably more inside."
"The guy who pushed this crap, though, uh...Bane, right? You killed him."
"And his operation got shut down shortly after. Looks like what's left of his crew's trying to start thing's back up. Figured shithead with the AUG here looked familiar."
"Well, they're back in Gotham, let's give them the proper welcome...."
Pérez Street. Gotham City. Modern Day.
I walk to my closet. Put on a suit and walk out of the warehouse I am hiding in.
I chose this warehouse because it is just a block away from my old house.
I walk to a street-side flower-shop. Pick a bouquet of red carnations. These used to be Rose's favorite flowers. I don't know why I am hung up on Rose so much. It's been decades since I've seen her.
I walk over to the house I used to call my own... This is where it happened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gotham City. 1982.
Gah come on. I got to find Rose. She will be the only one to understand what I'm going through. She'll be the only one to love me while I go through this.
I hail a taxi and jump in the back seat.
"Pérez Street. Hurry."
The taxi driver steps on the peddle and the car starts moving towards Pérez Street.
The car gets near a flower-shop.
"Stop."
I grab a wad of cash I stole. Hand it to the driver and he speeds off.
I grab another wad from my pocket and give it to the clerk at the flower-shop. Grab a bouquet of red carnations and walk down to my house.
I am startled by the sight. Patrol cars swarming my house. Caution tape around the sidewalk fending off pedestrians.
I run up to the tape and say that it's my house and they let me by.
I run up to the fence and rest my shoulder on the post. I get the engagement ring out of my pocket and look at it.
A cop walks out of the house and has a saddened look on his face.
"What happened here?"
"Murder."
"What? Who died? How did this happen?"
"Rose Daniels. Suspect is still unknown. Killer did it with a knife. He slit her throat and shot her in the chest."
I drop the ring and the bouquet of flowers. How could this happen? If I could have just gotten home yesterday. If I could have gotten home an hour ago. If I never went back to war. Who ever did this will pay...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pérez Street. Gotham City. Modern Day.
My phone rings. I reach in my pocket and bring it out. I look at the screen. No number. I answer it anyways.
"Who is this?"
"Slade Wilson, I've got a job for you..."
