British Waterways Warehouse, Nottingham & Beeston Canal, Castle Wharf.
Built for the Trent Navigation Company, c1919.
Grade ll listed.
The geography of the waterways in central Nottingham was, and is, complex. The city was built on the River Trent, but river navigation immediately upstream of the city had always been difficult. While the Nottingham Canal was being constructed, the Trent Navigation Company built an artificial canal - the Beeston Cut - to bypass the river from Trent Lock to Lenton. There, it met with the Nottingham Canal, which therefore became part of the river through-route. Two hundred years later, this is the only part of the Nottingham Canal to survive.

All Saints church in Kimcote sits in an elevated position by the roadside in the heart of the village. Most of the building is of 13th - 14th century date, the chancel being the earliest part with the nave, north aisle and sturdy west tower the result of slightly later modifications including the addition of the clerestorey (probably 15th century, contemporary with the nave roof within and perhaps the oddly recessed parapet of the tower, though this may also be the result of later rebuilding after the fall of its spire).
Within the church the hand of Victorian restorers is more evident, particularly in the furnishings and glass, though the medieval nave roof is handsome enough and the font is an intriguingly archaic piece of Gothic Survival dating from 1654. The most memorable features here are the windows, there are good windows by Kempe and Burlison & Grylls but best of all is the Arts & Crafts glass by Theodora Salusbury on the south side of the chancel.
Kimcote church is likely to be found locked outside of services but is worth getting inside if possible, especially if like me you admire good glass. Our visit was naturally on a Ride & Stride day / Heritage weekend in September (best day to explore this diocese's churches) though this also coincided with a prayer group meeting in the chancel which placed some limits on photography, but we were grateful to the people involved who were very accommodating in letting us explore and view the glass there.

Glenboig Union Fireclay Co Ltd., Glenboig Fireclay Works, Glenboig, Lanarkshire
The Glenboig Union Fireclay Co. Ltd was founded by James Dunnachie & partners by the amalgamation of the "Old Works" and the "Star Works" in Glenboig. The company specialised in the production of refractory ceramic goods (e.g. furnace lining bricks and pipework) for the iron and steel industry which was flourishing in the nearby industrial towns. By expansion and take-overs the company went on to operate several other works, viz.: Cumbernauld Fireclay Works & Mine (c. 1882); Gartcosh Works (1890); Castlecary Fireclay Co. Ltd (c1919); Faskine & Palacerigg Bricks & Coal Ltd (c1919); George Turnbull & Co. Ltd - Bonnymuir and Dykehead Works (c1919).

Stained glass by Paul Woodroffe in the south transept c1919, a memorial to parishoners who died in the First World War.

The church of the Holy Name in Manchester is one of the grandest Catholic parish churches in the country, a vast building considered to be one of the best works of architect Joseph Hansom and built 1869-71. The tower is a particularly distinctive landmark, it initially remained unfinished for some decades until the upper stage was added by Adrian Gilbert Scott in 1928, a remarkable design that evokes his brother's work in Liverpool. The interior of the church is hugely impressive, a vast open space under a vaulted ceiling and richly adorned throughout.

War memorial window in the north aisle by Arthur L. Moore, c1919.
Great Bowden lies immediately to the north east of Market Harborough but still retains its separate vintage village charm with an attractive centre from which the spire of its church peeps at over the trees. I say peep rather than peer as the spire is remarkably short, more of an octagonal pyramid crowning the handsome 14th century tower, but all the more delightful for being a break from the norm.
The church itself is mainly 14th century with modifications from the following century (such as the clerestory and most of the fenestration). All is rendered in the lovely honey-coloured ironstone with limestone dressings for the windows, and attractive mix common in the east Midland counties. The interior feels open and spacious thank to the handsome nave arcades which almost touch the corbel supporting the roof, the clerestory windows looking a little squashed inbetween. The stonework is left explosed in the nave but the chancel and aisles are still plaster-rendered which cheers them up somewhat, a good balance.
The most remarkable feature here is in the north chapel, a substantial 15th century wall painting of the Last Judgement, degraded by time but still discernable. Nearby in the chancel is an imposing late Georgian monument and a tiny late medieval palimpsest brass, both on the north side of the sanctuary. The 18th century organ case nearby has some fine carved detail but frustratingly I seem to have neglected to get a decent photo of it. There are a few striking late Victorian or Edwardian windows, the best being the large Arts & Crafts window in the south aisle.
This church is well worth a look and Colin and I were made very welcome here. I'm not sure what normal opening arrangements are so probably best to check ahead if planning a visit.

St Mary & St John - Latin Inscription.
William Glasby (1863-1941) was the son of a warehouse porter and spent his youth in Battersea. He was apprenticed to James Powell & Son in 1876 and rose to be their chief painter. Whilst living in Hampstead, he joined Henry Holiday’s new workshop after he left Powell's. By about 1897 Glasby was producing his own designs in a style heavily influenced by Holiday and also Morris & Co, for whom he later worked as a painter. He was in business on his own account from c1919. He had addresses in Kensington and later Putney, but in 1939 he moved to Horsham, Sussex. After his death, the business was carried on by his two daughters, who moved in 1946 to Henfield.
WB Simpson & Sons was founded in 1833 by William Butler Simpson (1798-1882) producing painted tiles. As well as being commissioned by William Burges for work at Cardiff Castle, their hand-painted tiles may also be found at St Asaph Cathedral. They also provided many of the tiling schemes for the London Underground as well as hospitals and other public buildings. The firm also made mosaic, opus sectile and stained glass at their studio in St Martin's Lane.

Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
By Sir James Guthrie (1759-1830).
Oil on canvas, c1919.
This portrait was completed shortly after the First World War in which Churchill served successfully as First Lord of the Admiralty, Minister of Munitions and Secretary for War with responsibility for demobilisation. The most vigorous and highly finished among a series representing contemporary statesmen, the picture was painted in preparation for his great commission ‘Statesmen of the Great War’. Churchill was a Member of Parliament for Dundee from 1908-22. He went on to serve as Prime Minister during the Second World War from 1940 to 1945.
James Guthrie became one of the leading painters in the group of artists called the Glasgow Boys. His early works of rural subjects painted with broad square brush strokes show the strong influence of French painters such as Bastien-Lepage. Guthrie was born in Greenock and trained as a lawyer before turning to art. After brief but stimulating periods in London and Paris, he committed himself to painting directly from nature in Scotland. Guthrie also experimented with pastel drawings and established a reputation as a successful portrait painter. He became president of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1902 and was knighted the following year.
