The Battle of Basing re-enactment of 2010 was carried out by The Sealed Knot, which is the oldest and largest historical re-enactment society in the UK and Europe, respectively.
The society is dedicated to commemorating and educating the public about the English Civil War and the 17th Century. They stage events throughout the country, including large-scale re-enactments of battles, skirmishes, and sieges, as well as smaller educational visits to schools. The Sealed Knot aims to honour those who died in the English Civil War, educate the public about the period, and bring history to life through immersive experiences. It is a registered educational charity.
The Sealed Knot takes its name from the original Sealed Knot, a secret association aimed at the restoration of the monarchy, although the modern incarnation has none of the political affiliations of its namesake. Apart from re-enactment, it is also involved in research into the history of the Civil War, and education (at the school or college level) about the same.
The siege of Basing House near Basingstoke in Hampshire, was a Parliamentarian victory late in the First English Civil War. Whereas the title of the event may suggest a single siege, there were in fact three major engagements. John Paulet, 5th Marquess of Winchester owned the House and as a committed Royalist garrisoned it in support of King Charles I, as it commanded the road from London to the west through Salisbury.
The first engagement was in November 1643, when Sir William Waller at the head of an army of about 7,000 attempted to take Basing House by direct assault.
Early in 1644 the Parliamentarians attempted to arrange the secret surrender of Basing House with Lord Edward Paulet, the Marquess of Winchester's younger brother, but the plot was discovered.
Then on 4 June 1644, Colonel Richard Norton using Parliamentary troops from the Hampshire garrisons closely invested Basing House and attempted to starve the garrison into submission. This siege was broken on 12 September 1644 when a relief column under the command of Colonel Henry Gage broke through parliamentary lines.
The final siege took place in October 1645, and the House caught fire and was badly damaged. What remained was "totally slighted and demolished" by order of Parliament, with the bricks of the House offered free to anyone who would cart them away.

Concreted
Saturday morning and me and my Father in law concreted the base for our greenhouse.
We mixed the concrete ourselves. It took 1.5 tonnes of limestone chippings, (just over) .5 tonne of building sand, and 9.5 bags of cement.
Though the perspective doesn’t look like it on this photo, the base is 8’6” x 8’6”, for the 8’ x 8’ greenhouse.
(The greenhouse arrived on Friday! The delivery time was 10 days, but it came in 4 days.
My weather app at lunchtime yesterday said that we could expect rain at 7.00pm. So it wouldn’t need covering …
At 1.30pm I set off to the football. Once I got inside Turf Moor it started raining… then barely stopped until nighttime. I wasn’t a happy man.
Fortunately, due to its sheltered position the rain hasn’t affected it.
I’ll erect the greenhouse in 7-10 days, once the concrete has fully hardened.

This is the first view you have from the top of Spinnaker Tower, and most people (including Ann Mari!) go"wow" when they first see it! It's a special view, as my first job was in various offices in the dockyard, and I had a good time there. Two notorious ships in this shot are HMS Warrior, in the foreground, and HMS Victory (towards the middle - it doesn't have the full masts up now)
There are actually three viewing floors in the tower, but this, the lowest, is the biggest and has the best views.
Just one more shot of the group as the sun was setting over the Platte River mouth near Lake Michigan. This photo walk was sponsored by the Traverse Area Camera Club. It will be nice to review these shots in a few months just to imagine warm temperatures and sunsets again!
I transformed the lunar space station into a Martian land base for colonization.
The blocks / modules are perfect.
I also made a small NPU with train part number 55768. It makes excellent glass roof/skylight :)

First of all, sorry for the corny title but it's just that I heard they wanted to raise the toll to a whopping 10 dollars (let's just skip 7, 8, and 9!) and do away with the human toll attendants. I don't even want to know how that is possible or seems like a good idea to anyone. I don't even use those creepy "self checkout" things in Home Depot.
Ah, that's better. Haha. With that out of the way, I just wanted to pay a little respect to the base of this often-photographed tower, seeing as how lately it has been all about the tips.
Thanks for looking!
A very nice place to have a drink or two in the evening. This picture was taken from 76 meter tall Clérigos Tower, Porto, Portugal.
I spent my morning sliding on ice down the hill I was trying to climb. I had a break next to these gates before the final climb.
This would have been the base of a cooling tower that was never built for a nuclear power plant that was abandoned midway through construction.

The original Bramante’s Staircase at the Vatican Museum exit was built in 1505. The modern version was built in 1932 and was based on the original.
From the outside it looks like a normal castle on a hill, but nestled in the caves below is a modern underground base.

A Swiss Air Force F18 Hornet taxies from the mountain cave to the runway. Instead of shelters and hangars at the airfield, the F18 fighter jets are stored inside the mountain. There the are thousand metres of rock above them and even a complete natural waterfall. The taxiway from the caves to the runway crosses the local road from Unterbach to Meiringen. I took this photo from public land. Further to the left the jet crosses the entrance gate of the air field.
