Ships hang from the ceiling of this church are a nod to the nickname "Sailor's Church." It's proximity to a port made the church very popular with sailors, who stopped in for a sermon and a prayer before leaving for sometimes dangerous sea voyages.

Camino de Santiago, Day 7. Village churches are often closed when we pass them on the trail, and, if not, we're often too tired to fully appreciate them. Today we rose later and walked more slowly, which helped on both counts. One of the highlights of the day was this small and beautiful 12th century sandstone church (Santo Sepulcro in Torres del Rio), octagonal in shape and Romanesque in style with some Mudejar elements as well (Muslim-influenced architecture in Christian lands in Spain). The dome ceiling is decorated in a wonderful style that originated in Jaca, a town in Aragón that we visited last year.

Theatre Royal in Brighton, where we went to see the Peter James play 'Dead Simple' ...

Theatre Royal Brighton is a historic Grade II listed theatre in Brighton, Sussex. The theatre hosts musicals, plays, opera and ballet throughout the year, as well as Creative Learning events, workshops and courses. The venue has a capacity of 952 seats over four levels and features a wonderful Proscenium.
One of the oldest theatres in the country, Brighton's Theatre Royal has a history that began over two hundreds years ago in 1806 when The Prince of Wales, George Augustus Frederick who later became Prince Regent and then King (George IV), approved the building of the theatre. It opened the following year on 27th June 1807. The opening performance for was Shakespeare's Hamlet.
For its first fifty years the theatre struggled until it was bought and redeveloped by the actor Henry John Nye Chart in 1854. He hired the famous architect Charles James Phipps and soon the theatre became more financially successful and gained a respected reputation. When Henry died in 1876, his wife Ellen Elizabeth Nye Chart (also a thespian) took over and was one of the first female theatre managers. Ellen further built upon the success and reputation of the theatre.
In recent years the theatre has hosted popular shows such as Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Rocky Horror Show and Spamalot in order to appeal to a wider audience. The theatre was bought by the Ambassador Theatre Group in 1999 who have developed the infrastructure of the theatre, as well as investing in new productions and creating alliances with arts organizations.
