The Cathedral Church of Our Lady Help of Christians and Saint Peter of Alcantara, commonly known as Shrewsbury Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Shrewsbury, England. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Shrewsbury and mother church of the Diocese of Shrewsbury, which covers the historic counties of Shropshire and Cheshire. It is classified by Historic England as Grade II*.
Roman Catholic cathedral. 1856. By Edward Welby Pugin, possibly to designs initially prepared by his father Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. Coursed and squared sandstone rubble with plain tiled roof. PLAN: nave and 2 aisles, chancel. EXTERIOR: nave of 5-and-a-half bays with bellcote corbelled out over 5-light window in western gable. West porch with cusped moulded arched doorway and traceried windows in each side. Ornate canopy over statue on gable apex. Within, a deep moulded west doorway with short shafts. Lean-to aisles with eastern chapels with steeply pitched roofs. The bays are articulated by slim buttresses, and each bay has 3-light Decorated window with triple quatrefoils to clerestory. The easternmost bay is narrower. Porch and ante-room added to west of south aisle, with quatrefoil frieze to parapet, and gabled porch entrance with shouldered archway. INTERIOR: nave arcade of 5-and-a-half bays with narrow eastern bay. Octagonal shafts in a very Early Gothic style, with steep pointed arches. Western gallery. Nave roof has wall posts which carry wrought-iron ties, and alternating cross-bracing and arched trusses. Deep moulding to steeply pointed chancel arch, with rood of 1885 hanging from the apex. Coved panelled ceiling to chancel. Gilded reredos with triangular arched traceried panels with figures in high relief. South aisle chapel with canted apsidal end, formed like a reliquary with marbled shafts to sedilia and to entrance arch, with heavily foliate capitals and cusped triangular arcading all around the walls. North aisle chapel has richly gilded and traceried altar. The chapels and chancel were decorated by J Pippet of Hardman and Co. STAINED GLASS: very rich in stained glass, mostly in a medieval idiom: the large west window depicts the English Martyrs, while in the south aisle, various windows between 1898 and 1906. North aisle chapel has 2 windows by Margaret Rope showing scenes from the Lives of the Saints, dated 1917. Stained glass also in chancel and south aisle, largely c1911, some by Margaret Rope, the rest probably Hardman and Co. Chancel east window 1862 by Hardman.

Taken around 1911 and published by Mills & Co. of Lichfield, this Wilnecote photograph shows the row of buildings that once stood on the south side of Watling Street betwen Hockley Road and Smithy Lane. In the 21st century the only building still standing is the Globe Inn. The pub can be seen midway along this row with a projecting board advertising Marston's Burton Ales and Stouts. From the time of this image the Globe Inn would sell beers from the Shobnall Brewery for the rest of the 20th century. Four doors further down was the local post-office.
The Globe Tavern, as it was formerly known, was opened as a beer house. I am not quite sure why the inn sign was not related to the brick trade as the early publicans were engaged in this field. The Moore family kept the Globe Tavern for much of the mid-19th century. Born in Barton-under-Needwood around 1817, John Moore was a master bricklayer by trade.¹ He initially kept the Globe Tavern with his Yoxhall-born wife Jane but, following her death, re-married to Martha Black who hailed from Hurley.² In 1870, at the annual licensing meeting held at Atherstone, the licence held by John Moore was objected to by Inspector Hursher, stating to the Bench that "a great deal of drunkenness and disorderly conduct had taken place at the house." ³
When John Moore left the licensed trade he continued to live on Watling Street whilst working as a builder. He possibly remained a regular customer of the pub when being run by William Congrave. Born further east just off Watling Street in Witherley, he too was a bricklayer. He kept the Globe Tavern with his wife Harriet who came from Sutton Coldfield.⁴ Following her death in 1884, he-married to a Herefordshire woman and by the end of the century they were running an off licence in Hall End, Polesworth, the former publican of the Globe Inn was recorded as a master bricklayer.
In the 1890's the Globe Tavern was being run by a man also involved in the brick trade. However, rather than laying them he was making them. Bricks were probably a staple of the conversation in this place! Born in Dordon, Robert Glover once lived next to the Blue Brick Inn along with his parents - his father was also a brickmaker.
John Knight broke the mould of bricky publicans when he and his wife Sarah Ann took over the Globe Tavern in time for the dawn of the new century. The couple had lived in Wilnecote for many years where John Knight, a Tammy, worked as a coal miner. Sarah Ann hailed from The Potteries.
Dreadful news was received by Mrs. Dora Velda Carter of the Globe Inn during the spring of 1943 when it was reported that her husband, Corporal Stanley Carter, was killed in action on March 16th, while serving with the Royal Welch Fusiliers in India. The 25-year-old soldier had been educated at Wilnecote Central School and was later employed as a salesman in the furnishing department of the Tamworth Industrial Co-operative Society.⁵
In June 1950 it was reported that John Henry White, licensee the Globe Inn for over 20 years, died at his home, 19, Shelton Street, Wilnecote. The former publican was 80 years of age. Retiring from business in 1932, he was the founder of the Globe Inn Sick and Dividend Club, later known as the Red Lion S.C. He was treasurer for many years and also served as the secretary. He and his wife had been married for 58 years.⁶

Liberal Club, 1 Smiddy Hill, Pickering, North Yorkshire, 1909.
Unlisted.
Built on the site of two cottages which had become the club's first home, the foundation stone was laid in 1908 by Cllr John Snowden, a well-known Pickering personality and the club was formally opened by the town's MP JE Ellis on November 17 1909. At a time when Pickering had far fewer facilities than today, the club provided a much appreciated meeting place, not only for the Liberal Party but for many other organisations.
