#Gaslands - #mocaroundgang #mocaround68 challenge #gaslands for August 2023. Theme is hosted by @poppalars
Took me a while to work out what they were talking about.
Gaslands is a games you play on the table with Hotwheels cars as follows:
To get started, assemble some toy cars, kit them out with weapons and choose a scenario. Set up some post-apocalyptic terrain; deploy your cars and roll-off for the first move.
See the previous notes on a good car choice.
However, this didn't quite hit the mark with how the finished car should look.
The think I missed was the word 'Hotwheels'.
What difference does that make?
Well, it comes down to what a Hotwheels car looks like, and specifically, to the cartoonishly large wheels and tires. There are a couple of reasons for this - it usually lifts the ground clearance, improving the ability of a Hotwheels car to roll across carpet, and the other, is that it makes them look cool.
So here is my first Gaslands 'Hotwheels' mod, a 1972 Plymouth Satellite Hardtop. You can see right away, that this is much more aligned to the required aesthetic.
This model is firmly based on a Gaslands custom by reddit user mtworm in 2021.

"An antique board game with a magical/wizard theme. The game was published by McLoughlin Bros., N.Y.: c. 1870. It measures 11.75 x 11.75 x 2 inches when in the case.
Inside the box is a spinner resting beneath a pane of glass. The directions are mounted underneath the glass. There are three "answer inserts" that hug the outer portion of the box, fitting around the glass. Three double-sided circular question cards are provided, each one corresponding to an answer insert.
After a question is asked, the question card is placed upon the glass pane and aligned such that the question asked is placed in the top (12 o'clock) position. The spinner is then magnetically moved, and points to the correct answer on the "answer insert."
The directions read: "In asking a question, place the Question Card so that it will fit exactly over this Disc, placing the question asked at the top, so that the dot on the edge will be directly opposite the dot on the top of this Disc, when the hand will immediately move in a quizzical manner, and in a few moments stop, and give the correct answer."
Depuis toujours je suis fascinée par ces rangées de maisons alignées sur les collines qui constituent Swansea , ville très verte et très étendue , la deuxième du sud Galles après Cardiff.
I have always loved Swansea rows of houses on the hills. It's the second city in south Wales after Cardiff , one of its main features is a huge bay along which all sorts of activities go on in fine weather . Also famous for its gardens .

Stem ware ready for service. In retrospect, noting the number of glasses I went through, I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for polishing...

This happens when you have artwork that is corrupted, which seemingly happens all the god damn time... but now I want it left-aligned even when there isn't artwork. Get on it, Apple!
Its hump day, though when retired every day is hump day, I guess.
And at eight, Jools was off for Qigong class, which she has been doing for several months now. Which left me home with the cats and a fresh cup of coffee.
I messed around online, then sat outside with Scully after filling up the feeders, watching the butterflies, bees and wasps buzzing round, generally collecting pollen and nectar.
The rewilding, and planting more insect friendly plants has been a huge success.
Unbeknown to me, Jools then went to the beach for a swim, and was sidetracked by a Spanish galleon arriving into port, with tugs spraying water as a form of welcome and celebration.
The plan had been to go to Biddenden to the cider place, to restock further for Jools. I called Jools, she had not been swimming yet, but was coming straight home.
Camera battery charged, car packed. We set off, Jools crocheting as we went, up the A20 to Folkestone, then on the motorway to Ashford, where I took the wrong exit, so we had to take ten miles of back lanes to get onto the A28. That's what the sat nav told me.
Through High Halden and keeping going, before turning north west towards Tunbridge Wells.
Kent is much larger than it appears, and it can take over ninety minutes driving from Dover to leave the county, depending on which direction you go.
Anyway, turned off the main road, turned off that onto Gribble Bridge Lane and into the cider farm.
We bought cider, of course, some beer, cheese and crackers, and a bottle of apple juice for the journey.
A short drive into the village was the church. Which is always open. Except this day. Open for coffee Tuesdays and Thursdays, apparently.
We walked back to the car.
Next off, something that becoming harder to say: a new Kent church.
To get there we would have to drive through Goudhurst, the highest point in Kent, and hope of ancient road that is not wide enough for two modern cars to pass, in places.
Lots of nice places to shop and eat and drink there, but we must press on.
We crawl through the village, which looked very different in the bright summer sunshine, rather than the heavy winter cloud and halflight as it was when I last called at Goudhurst.
Down the hill onto the Weald, and finally onto the Hastings road, before turning off into Lamberhurst.
Down church Lane, past huge houses and mansions to the end of the road which terminates in a sort of car park.
I get the camera, not really believing the church would be open. Up the narrow path between hedges, into the churchyard and round to the porch, where ancient doors said the church was open, turn the brass handle. Hard.
The door swung open, and once through the inner glass door, the church revealed itself.
Its a fine mix of ancient and Victorian, with memorials, hatchings and quite the largest Queen Anne coat of arms I have ever seen.
I got the large lens out to record the Victorian windows and other details.
Back outside in the bright sunshine, and an amble back to the car. We set sail for home.
Soon we came a small service area, so we stopped for sausage rolls and a Cornish pasty. Which we washed down with the apple juice from Biddenden.
The sat nav took us the same way back, though traffic through Goudhurst was easier late in the afternoon and then through Biddenden to Ashford, onto the motorway and back home.
The feline welcoming committee was there, so the cats got fed and we made a brew before I prepared Caprese for dinner.
The evening slipped by, all the slower for there being no football.

A pretty church with views into Sussex. Nave and chancel with a south chapel, south aisle and west tower which is aligned with the aisle - which means that there is no west door. The chancel and chapel were rebuilt in 1870 by Ewan Christian, but he kept the fourteenth-century sedilia which stand between the two. They form a stone bench with two quatrefoil openings cut through the backrests, giving a view into the chapel. To the east there is a tall lancet opening for a piscina with a rectangular aumbry above. The floor has been raised 3ft 6in and the whole church interior reordered. The fine reredos in the south chapel is by Tinworth (1870), while the seventeenth-century pulpit carries the initials of the then rector, Robert Steede. A good Royal Arms of Queen Anne and crownpost roof complete the old furnishings which were further enhanced in 1984 when a window of the Annunciation was installed to the design of John Piper.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE next parish southward from Brenchley is Lamberhurst, which probably takes its name from the soft clay on which it is situated, and the woods with which it so plentifully abounds. Lam, in the Saxon language signifying a soft loam, or clay, and burst a wood; which name of Lamburst by the vulgar corruption of it, and the succession of time, has been long changed into its present one of Lamberhurst.
THE STREAM which rises in Waterdown forest, in Sussex, being one of the principal heads of the Medway, runs through this parish, and separates this county from that of Sussex, in which the larger part of this parish lies. That part on the northern side of the stream, in this county, is about two miles across in extent, the surface of it is a continued hill and dale, the soil near the village is a sand, but the most part of it is a very stiff clay, especially in the large tracts of coppice wood, which extend over by far the greatest part of the parish; in these and the adjoining woods there are several furnaces for melting and manufacturing the iron ore, with which they abound, the only one of them in that part of this parish, within this county, is called Lamberhurst, alias Gloucester furnance, being named in honor of the duke of Gloucester, queen Anne's son, who in the year 1698 visited it from Tunbridge-wells. The iron-rails round St.Paul's church-yard, in London, were cast at this furnace. They compose the most magnificent balustrade perhaps in the universe, being of the height of five feet and six inches, in which there are at intervals seven iron gates of beautiful workmanship, which, together with the rails, weigh upwards of two hundred tons; the whole of which amounted to the sum of 11,000l. and upwards.
These woods are mostly oak coppice, sometimes, though but rarely, intermixed with hazel, and interspersed with oak trees, which are much sewer in them than formerly, owing to the great increase of the price of timber, and the consumption made of them for these furnaces.
There are plenty of little springs among them, of a browner colour than is common to ordinary waters, which leave in their passage tinctures of rust. The iron ore is found in great abundance in most parts of these woods, but different in colour, weight, and goodness. That which is not so fit for common use, on account of its being short and brittle when melted, is mingled in due quantity with cinder, being the refuse of the ore after the metal has been extracted from it, which gives in that temper of toughness as makes it fit for use. Great quantities of cannon, as well for the use of government as the merchants, are cast at these furnaces, besides backs for stoves, and such like, as well as bars from the best sort of the ore, after having been worked in the forges for that purpose.
The village, or town of Lamberhurst, as it is sometimes called, is situated about forty miles distance from London, on each side of the stream above-mentioned, over which there is a bridge of three arches, and stands partly in Kent, and partly in Sussex. On the western side of the street, within this county, there is a large welltimbered house, which from its appearance seems to have long been a gentleman's house, it was for several generations in the possession of the family of Thomas; one of them, Alexander Thomas, esq. resided here, and died possessed of it in 1657, in whose descendants it continued down to Richard Thomas, who about the year 1740 sold it to Mr.Bridger, of Sussex, and he again alienated it to Mr.John Foster, in which name it still continues. The two principal roads, the one from London through Tunbridge, and the other from Maidstone through Yalding, having joined just above the village, leads through it into Sussex. At a small distance westward from the spot where these roads meet is the antient mansion of the parsonage, and at a like distance on the opposite side, the Court-lodge, situated with the church near it on the rise of a hill.
About a mile westward, close to the southern side of the stream within Sussex, are the ruins, and the seat of Beyham, great part of which are in the parish of Fant, and on the other side of it within Kent, though at a little further distance, the estate of Hoadley, within that part of this parish called Linderidge quarter, in the upper part of which, near the thirty-seventh mile-stone, on the Tunbridge road, is an estate, formerly called from the antient possessors of it, Dunks, but now Old Farm. It was for some generations afterwards owned by a branch of the Hendleys, of Cranbrooke, of these, Thomas Hendley died possessed of it in 1716, leaving several sons, of whom Peter and Alexander lived at Goudhurst, and were clothiers there a few years ago; Walter, an intermediate son, became on his father's death possessed of this estate, and afterwards sold it to Pattenden, who alienated it to Spence, as he did soon afterwards to Gibbs Crawford, esq. of East Grinsted, the present owner of it.
The part of this parish within Sussex is separated from this county and the parish of Goudhurst by a stream, called the Bewle, across which, over a bridge of the same name, the high road from Lamberhurst passes towards Flimwell, Hawkhurst, and towards Rye in Sussex. About half a mile below Bewle bridge, near the east bank of the stream, is the mansion of Scotney, situated in a deep vale, and so surrounded with woods, as to give it a most gloomy and recluse appearance; it is a handsome stone building, and appears to be only the half of what was first intended to be built. It was moated round, and had, till the late Mr.Darell pulled them down, a stronge stone gate-way, with towers, &c. seemingly intended to guard the approach to it. The river, which here divides the two counties, once ran through the centre of the ground plat, on which the house stands; about a mile below Scotney it joins the Beyham stream, with which it flows on to Yalding, where it meets the main stream of the Medway.
There is in this parish a family of the name of Wimshurst, in old writings spelt Wilmshurst, formerly of considerable property in it, but they have lately alienated it all.
A fair is held in this parish on Old Lady-day yearly, for cattle, &c. the profits of which belong to the owners of the parsonage, and there is another fair held in the village yearly on the 21st of May.
THIS PARISH was antiently part of the possessions of the eminent family of Crevequer, and was a limb of their barony of Leeds in this county; one part of it was held of them by the family of Lenham; one of whom, Nicholas de Lenham, obtained a charter of free warren for his lands here in the reign of king Henry III. they were succeeded by the Chidcrofts, who resided here for some generations, and bore for their arms the same coat as that of the family of Colepeper, viz. a bend engrailed. This was a srequent custom at that time, many using the coat of their superior lord, of whom they held in fee, or in whose service they were, and others procured a grant from them of it, but hardly any were borne without some difference to distinguish one from the other. Thus as the earl of Chester bore garbs or wheatsheaves, many gentlemen of that county bore wheatsheaves likewise. The old earls of Warwick bore Chequy, or and azure, a chevron ermine, from which many of that county bore ermine and chequy. In Leicestershire, many bore cinquefoils, in imitation of the antient earls of that county; and in other counties the same. But to return to this county; the Guises bore the arms of Hugo de Burgh, earl of Kent, with a canton for difference. The Hardres's bore the chevron of the family of Clare, with the addition of the lion rampant debruised. The Everings, the Hougham's, the Criols, and others, did the same, with their respective differences. The Shurlands, Rokesleys, and Kirkbys bore the six lions rampant used by Leyborne, of Leyborne. The Peckhams, Parrocks, and St. Nicholas's bore the arms of the Says, quarterly, or and gules, but placed it, for difference, in chief. Nor was this family of Chidcrost the only one in this county, which bore the arms of Colepeper; for the Haldens, of Halden, and a branch of the Malmains, did the like. Tutsham, of Tutsham, bore the like arms to those of Eastangrave, of Eastangrave, in Eatonbridge; Brenley, of Brenley, in Boughton, to those of Ratling, of Ratling, in Nonington; Perforer, of Eastling to those of Lenham, of Lenham; and lastly, Watringbury, of Watringbury, to those of Savage, of Bobbing. There are many instances of the grants of the coat armour from a lord to his inferior, among others, Humphry, earl of Stafford, in the reign of king Henry VI. granted to Robert Whitgrave the bearing of the chevron gules, in such manner as is expressed in the grant. (fn. 1)
But to return; one of this family, Thomas de Chidcrost, died possessed of this estate in the 1st year of king Edward III. The other part, in which the manor was included, was held of the Crevequers, as half a knight's fee, in the reign of king John, by Nicholas de Kenith, nomine dotis, who gave it to the abbot and convent of Robertsbridge, in Sussex.
Hamo de Crevequer, grandson of Robert, confirmed this gift of the manor of Lambhurst, &c. for which the abbot had paid him thirty-five marcs of silver, of the goods of his church. Soon after the abbot's coming into possession of this manor, there arose great disputes between him and the archbishop concerning it, which were finally settled anno 1266, 51 king Henry III.
In the 21st year of king Edward I. upon a quo warranto, the abbot and convent claimed view of frankpledge, and other liberties, to their manor here, against the king, who laid claim to it. But the abbot producing the king's charter, his claim was allowed before J.de Berewicke and others, justices itinerant, (fn. 2) and in the 8th year of king Edward II. the archbishop had a grant for a market and fair in this parish.
In which situation this manor continued till the suppression of the abbey of Robertsbridge, in the reign of king Henry VIII. when the abbey, together with all its possessions, (this manor being then devised by the abbot and convent at the yearly rent of fourteen pounds) came into the king's hands, and was confirmed to him and his heirs, by the general words of the act, passed in the 31st of that reign for this purpose.
After which, the king, by several indentures and letters patent, in his 30th, 32d, and 33d years granted the abbey, with this manor and the rest of its possessions, to Sir William Sydney and Anne his wife, and their heirs male, to hold in capite by knights service, all which he surrendered up. In consideration of which, and a sum of money paid upon a new agreement, the king, in his 33d year, sold to Sir William Sydney and his heirs, the manor of Lamberhurst, together with all lands and possessions belonging to the monastery in Lamberhurst, and elsewhere, the scite of the late abbey, and all other possessions belonging to it, to hold by the suit of one whole knight's fee, and the annual rent of 26l. 12s. 4d. His grandson, Sir Robert Sidney, who was created earl of Leicester, obtained new letters patent of this manor, anno 5 James I. to hold it of the king as of his manor of East Greenwich, in free socage tenure, by fealty only in lieu of all other rents and services, (fn. 3) and then alienated it to John Porter, esq. who rebuilt the courtlodge, where he afterwards resided. He was son of Richard Porter, of Begeham, in this parish, descended from Wm. Porter, of Markham, in Nottinghamshire, of whose sons, John, the eldest surviving, succeeded his father at Markham, and was ancestor of the branch settled at Belton, in Lincolnshire; Stephen was ancestor of those of Begeham and Lamberhurst, of whom was John Porter, the purchaser of this manor, and Robert was dean of Lincoln. They bore for their arms, Sable, three bells argent, a canton ermine. John Porter, esq. above-mentioned, in the 3d year of king Charles I. obtained a confirmation of free-warren made to Nicholas de Lenham as abovementioned, within all the demesne lands of this manor, not being within the bounds of the king's forests. His two grandsons, John and Richard, dying s.p. his daughter Elizabeth, married Sir John Hanby, of Lincolnshire, became their heir, and he in her right became possessed of this manor, and died without male issue, leaving an only daughter Elizabeth, who carried it in marriage to John Chaplin, esq. of the same county, whose grandson, John Chaplin, esq. left three daughters his coheirs, of whom Elizabeth, married to Edward Ayscoughe, esq. entitled her husband to the possession of it, and then joining with him alienated it to William Morland, esq. who resided at the court-lodge. He was descended from ancestors seated at Morland, in Westmoreland, and bore for his arms, Azure, a griffin rampant, or. He married Ellen, daughter of Sir Thomas Johnson, of Liverpool, by whom he had Thomas Morland, esq. of the court-lodge, which he much improved, and dying in 1784, was brought hither and buried in this church. By Anne, daughter and coheir of William Matson, esq. of Lancashire, he left several children, of whom the eldest son, William Alexander Morland, esq. succeeded him in this manor, and is the present owner of it.
There is a court leet and court baron held regularly for this manor.
SCOTNEY is the other manor in this parish, within the county of Sussex likewise; the mansion of it is situated close on the western side of the stream, called the Bewle, which, as is reputed here, divides the two counties. It was so called from a family, which were proprietors of it in very early times, as they were of another seat of the same name at Lid; one of whom, Walter de Scoteni, held it in the reign of Henry III. and was a person of no small account, for he held fourteen knights fees and a half of Alice, countess of Ewe, in Sussex; but being sound guilty of poisoning Richard, earl of Gloucester, and his brother, William de Clare, he was drawn through Winchester to the gallows, and hanged. Notwithstanding which this estate seems to have continued in the same name and family till about the middle of the reign of king Edward III. when it passed into the possession of the family of Ashburnham, of Ashburnham, in Sussex; one of whom, Roger Ashburnham, was a conservator of the peace in the 1st year of king Richard II. and resided at this mansion, which was then castellated. His successor alienated it in the beginning of king Henry V's reign, to Henry Chicheley, archbishop of Canterbury, who appears to have resided here at times, one of his mandates being dated from Scoteneye, in 1418. The archbishop settled this manor on Florence, his niece, widow of Sir William Peche, and one of the daughters of William Chicheley, his youngest brother, on her marriage with John Darell, esq. third son of William Darell, of Sesay, in Yorkshire, whose second wife she was, from whose first wife Joane, daughter and heir of Valentine Barrett, of Pery-court, descended the Darells, of Calehill. He died in 1478, and was succeeded in this estate by his only son by her, Thomas Darell, esq. of Scotney, whose only son Henry, and grandson Thomas, were both likewise of Scotney, the latter was twice married. Thomas, his eldest son, succeeded him here, and Stephen, his second son, was ancestor of the Darells, of Pageham, Fullsmere, Hampden, and of Middlesex; and Stephen, his third son, was of Spelmonden, and ended in two surviving daughters, who became his coheirs.
In the descendants of Thomas Darell, the eldest son, who succeeded his father at Scotney, and whose lands were disgavelled by the act of the 2d and 3d of king Edward VI. this estate continued down to his great grandson, Arthur Darell, esq. of Scotney, who died possessed of it in 1720 unmarried; on which this estate came by an old family settlement to the second brother of the branch of this family settled at Calehill, in this county, and was accordingly claimed by George, the second son of John Darell, esq. of Calehill, by Olivia his wife, daughter of Philip, viscount Strangford, and next brother to Philip Darell, esq. of that place.
LAMBERHURST is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Rochester, and deanry of Malling.
The church, which has a spire steeple, stands on a hill at a small distance from the court-lodge. It is dedicated to St. Mary. In the porch of it lies the body of one Lindridge, who was born anno 1566, and lived in an house adjacent. He made an handsome stone causeway here, which from him was called Lindridge causeway. (fn. 7)
John, bishop of Rochester, in 1461, changed the feast of the dedication of this church from the feast of St. Michael, on account of the floods which frequently happened here about that time of the year, and hindered its being celebrated with due solemnity, and transferred it to the Wednesday next following the feast of the sacred relics; to be held yearly on that day.
Robert de Crevequer, the founder of Leeds abbey, about the year 1137, gave to the canons there, in free and perpetual alms, all the churches on his estates, with the advowsons of them, and among them this of Lamberhurst, with two acres of land in this parish. (fn. 8)
Lambert de Scotene confirmed to the church of Leeds whatever his ancestors had granted to it, viz. all the ecclesiastical dues of his tenants, and lands of Curthope, and the oblations and legacies of the vassals of his lordship.
Archbishop Theobald confirmed this church to the priory, together with all the tithes, both great and small, of Curthope and Ewehurst, as did archbishop Hubert, by his letters of inspeximus.
John, bishop of Rochester, at the time of the gift of this church to the priory of Leeds, appropriated the same to it; notwithstanding which, the canons do not seem to have gained possession of it till about ten years afterwards. About which time, by the mandate of Richard, archbishop of Canterbury, an inquisition was taken, by which it was found, that all those the archbishop's tenants, inhabiting the district of Curthope and Ewehurst received all ecclesiastical rights in the church of Lamberhurst, and paid all their tithes beyond the memory of man to that church, and that their ancestors lay buried there; which was attested by Walter, bishop of Rochester; upon which the archbishop confirmed the same to it.
The vicarage of this church does not seem to have been endowed till the time of bishop John Lowe, about the year 1448, in whose register the particulars of this endowment may be seen.
After which the appropriation, as well as the advowson of this church, continued part of the possessions of the priory till the dissolution of it in the reign of king Henry VIII. when it was, with all its revenues, surrendered into the king's hands; after which, the king by his dotation charter, in his 33d year, settled the appropriation and advowson of the vicarage of this church on his new-erected dean and chapter of Rochester, where they both remain at this time.
In 1719 the lessee of this parsonage was William Dewe, esq. who resided in it. He was son of William Dewe, gent. one of the six clerks in the Prerogativeoffice, in London, and bore for his arms, Gules, a chevron argent, between nine bezants. After which the interest in it descended down at length to his grandson Butler Dewe, esq. who dying in 1762, without issue, it came to his sisters; Elizabeth Wilson, widow; Amphillis Whitfield, widow; Mary, Anne, and Catherine Dewe, who are the present lessees of this parsonage.
The advowson of the vicarage is reserved to the use of the dean and chapter, who present to it.
The vicarage is valued in the king's books, at 12l. 10s. 5d. and the yearly tenths at 1l. 5s. 0½d.
In 1447, it appeared, on the presentation of William Blackborne to this vicarage, that it was endowed of old time in all tithes, excepting those of sheaves and grain; that it was by estimation, one year with another, of the annual value of ten pounds, and that the vicar had not any written composition, but took his endowment by antient custom.

Visualizing the fragmentary nature of our digital lives, the "All-Aligned" project ask: what is a society in which we, as users of digital systems, identify ourselves with automatically generated symbols, a society whose identities are driven by algorithms? What does the standard repertoire of national symbols, such as the flag, motto, coat of arms and anthem, represent today, at the time of the proliferation of digital capital, the accelerated doubling of memetic fronts and the general inflation of meaning?
The core of the project is a custom made random flag generator for infinite identity building, a software system based on applied artificial intelligence (AI), named Fractal Nations.
Ideas and concepts (pirate, Balkan, libertarian, ecological, dark, etc.) are being mapped onto graphic elements (colors, layouts, symbols, new shapes, etc.). By generating flags, the system also generates an infinite number of micro-identities, which multiply in a fractal manner, dividing themselves ad infinitum.
The exhibition shows various visual outputs from the described software system, primarily flags, which are displayed as real, physical, cloth or silk flags, as prints on the gallery wall, and as part of an interactive site, exhibited in the gallery, which allows visitors to generate their personal, individual – truly individualistic – symbolic identity on the spot (and for that exact moment in time, because the very next moment their own flag would look different).
