Basílica de la Virgen de la Peña, Graus, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
La antigua basílica de la Virgen de la Peña se levanta en la villa española de Graus (Ribagorza, provincia de Huesca, Aragón). El actual templo se levantó a mediados del siglo XVI sobre un edificio románico anterior. Consta de iglesia, patio y hospital de peregrinos con un bello claustro-mirador.
Proponemos a los visitantes que comiencen la visita desde el interior de la iglesia. Allí quedan restos del edificio románico, en concreto en la parte inferior del muro del evangelio, donde hay una pequeña puerta en alto y sillares más pequeños. El edificio actual presenta, una nave única de dos tramos, cubiertos con bóvedas de terceletes (la de los pies era originalmente estrellada) y una cabecera plana sobre la que se levanta una torre poligonal rematada en chapitel. LLama la atención el achaflanamiento de los ángulos de los pies de la nave.
La puerta de entrada tiene arco de medio punto y abundante decoración: (candelieri, casetones, angelotes, escudos y guirnaldas) y se enmarca por columnas unidas por un entablamento. Frente a ella, el pórtico imita sus formas corintias. En su friso se encuentra la firma de Joan Tellet en dos cartelas junto a una pequeña ménsula que llama la atención del observador. Allí está también la puerta de la capilla de San Juan de Letrán y una escalinata que une el pórtico con el patio. la esquina de la iglesia nos hace comprender el achaflanamiento interior, ya que si no se hubiera adoptado esta solución los contrafuertes exteriores ocuparían el solar de esta escalinata.
La arquería del hospital se abre al patio. Allí vemos cómo la estructura de este edificio apoya sobre la de la iglesia. Otra arcada sobre columnas torsas nos ofrece una espléndida vista de Graus y de la confluencia de los ríos Ésera e Isábena. Al salir, bajando por la rampa, veremos la otra esquina de la iglesia y de nuevo entendemos el achaflanamiento interior la nave, pues otro contrafuerte exterior hubiera impedido el camino de acceso al conjunto.
Desde el exterior se observan diferencias en los dos tramos de la iglesia:
la primera fase de las obras articula sus paños con molduras y contrafuertes
la segunda, obra de Tellet, que presenta paños y esquinas lisos.
En el conjunto del hospital también se ven dos fases:
un modesto edificio de cuatro plantas (apoyado sobre la iglesia y sobre la entrada al conjunto) fue seguramente el primero en construirse y debía servir de residencia del clero
una ampliación, mucho más ambiciosa, de tres plantas: la primera, con la arcada de arcos de medio punto que cobija la rampa de acceso; la segunda, con el mirador de columnas torsas; y la última, de ladrillo y totalmente reconstruida, donde se hallaban habitaciones destinadas a hospital de peregrinos y donde se ubica actualmente un museo de iconos.
The ancient basilica of the Virgen de la Peña stands in the Spanish town of Graus (Ribagorza, province of Huesca, Aragon). The current temple was built in the mid-16th century on a previous Romanesque building. It consists of a church, patio and pilgrim hospital with a beautiful cloister-viewpoint.
We suggest visitors begin their visit from inside the church. There are remains of the Romanesque building, specifically in the lower part of the gospel wall, where there is a small high door and smaller ashlars. The current building has a single nave with two sections, covered with triplet vaults (the one at the foot was originally star-shaped) and a flat head on which rises a polygonal tower topped with a spire. The chamfering of the angles of the feet of the nave is striking.
The entrance door has a semicircular arch and abundant decoration: (candelieri, coffers, angels, shields and garlands) and is framed by columns joined by an entablature. In front of it, the porch imitates its Corinthian forms. On its frieze there is the signature of Joan Tellet in two cartouches along with a small corbel that draws the observer's attention. There is also the door to the chapel of San Juan de Letrán and a staircase that connects the portico with the patio. The corner of the church makes us understand the interior chamfering, since if this solution had not been adopted the exterior buttresses would occupy the site of this staircase.
The hospital archway opens to the patio. There we see how the structure of this building supports that of the church. Another archway on twisted columns offers us a splendid view of Graus and the confluence of the Ésera and Isábena rivers. As we leave, going down the ramp, we will see the other corner of the church and once again we understand the interior chamfering of the nave, since another exterior buttress would have prevented the access path to the complex.
From the outside, differences are observed in the two sections of the church:
The first phase of the works articulates its panels with moldings and buttresses
the second, a work by Tellet, which presents smooth panels and corners.
In the hospital as a whole there are also two phases:
a modest four-story building (leaning on the church and on the entrance to the complex) was surely the first to be built and was to serve as the residence of the clergy.
a much more ambitious extension, with three floors: the first, with the archway of semicircular arches that shelters the access ramp; the second, with the viewpoint of twisted columns; and the last one, made of brick and completely rebuilt, where there were rooms used as a pilgrim hospital and where a museum of icons is currently located.
Here is the shot of The Maersk Highliner MkI's hangar bay I promised. You can also see the command bridge to the right, and some of the dorsal greeblage.
The dotted red and white line is actually the exact place where the ship is split in two parts. The hangar bay is 16 studs long and is suspended between the front and rear sections. You can see the two pannels seperated from the ship here : www.flickr.com/photos/47881312@N04/21101998704/in/datetaken/
You also get a closeup of the mysterious 2x4 chamfered tile which is basically a scaled version of the Lego 1x2 gold bar tile. More on how I got hold of them in light bley and medium azure later ;)
When i started assembling this detail I thought the Medium Azure and Sand Blue clashed violently. In the end i kinda like it.

Date First Listed : 6 February 1968
The oldest part of this 12th century church is the south arcade, the aisle was added in the 13th century, the chancel was rebuilt in 1765, the tower was rebuilt in 1828, and much of the body of the church was rebuilt in 1897–98. The church is built in stone on a chamfered plinth, and has stepped buttresses, and slate roofs with stone copings and apex crosses. It consists of a nave, a south aisle, a chancel with a south chapel and north vestry, and a west tower. The tower has two stages, a west doorway with a four-centred head, and an embattled parapet.
Great Ormes Head Lighthouse is a square, castellated two-storey building situated on the steep limestone cliffs of Great Orme's Head, 99m (325ft) above the sea. It is a Grade II listed building.
More photographs of the Great Orme's Head Lighthouse: www.jhluxton.com/Lighthouses/Mersey-Docks-and-Harbour-Boa...
The lantern was at ground level with the signal and telegraph room above. The signal room on the north-western elevation of the lighthouse still retains telescope ports in its windows. The south-eastern main elevation has a central doorway surmounted by a plaque which reads:
This Lighthouse was erected by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board 1862 C F Lyster, Engineer
The doorway is flanked by wide bays with chamfered windows on both floors, surmounted by the machicolations of the castellated parapet. The sides of the lighthouse and its yards are enclosed by high blast-walls of massive construction similar to the rest of the building. The white rendering applied in 1974 has now been removed to reveal the limestone masonry of the structure. The lighthouse is now a hotel. The optic, bulb changer and timing mechanism can now be seen in the nearby Great Orme Visitor Centre.
Event and Historical Information:
A letter from a K. Parker on the 3 December 1861, recorded in the Trinity House Minute Books, expressed the need for a lighthouse on the Great Orme which Trinity House approved. There had been a telegraph station in the vicinity, but no earlier light. They decided that the optic should be dioptric. It was designed and constructed by G. Lyster, engineer-in-chief to the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board (who also altered the Point Lynas Lighthouse in 1871).
The light was first shown on 1 December 1862. It was Lyster's only design for a complete lighthouse. The original light used paraffin wick lamps, replaced in 1904 by vapourizing petroleum mantle burners, superseded in 1923 by dissolved acetylene mantle lamps producing 13,000 candle power. The light shone white from 099-243degrees with a red sector upt to 251 degrees and was taken over by Trinity House in 1973.
The light shone for the last time on 22 March 1985 having been made redundant by radar. The lighthouse then reverted to the ownership of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company who sold the property.
The telegraph equipment was also removed around this time. The original lantern decorated the offices of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company, Liverpool, for a period but has since been returned to be displayed at the summit of the Great Orme.
Notes from Coflein
Built in 1910, this Commercial and Romanesque Revival-style building, inspired by the work of Louis Sullivan and Henry Hobson Richardson, was designed by Kees and Colburn for the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company (PPG), and was later home to the Great Northern Implement Company. The building was built on the site of the Rock Island Plow Company Building, also known as the Great Northern Implement Company Building, a Sullivanesque-style building which was similar to the Advance Thresher Building and Newton-Emerson Implement Buildings across the street, which was built in 1902 and destroyed by fire in 1910. The building features a brown brick facade with a limestone base, corners with largely blank expanses of brick up to the roofline above the second-floor windows, subtly chamfered corners that taper towards the base, recessed vertical window bays with brick spandrel panels, topped with arched windows, brick arches, and decorative trim panels, and simpler unadorned orange brick facades to the side and rear away from the street. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The building has since been adaptively reused as a condominium known as the American Trio Lofts.

Small inserted window under eaves at right end. Interior: Divided into 3 sections corresponding with the changes in window. Narrow central area marked by original stone cross-walls with (probably much later) timber partitions above them between the tie-beams and the apex of the roof. South side of central area, not recessed for a floor and containing the mid-height pointed window, may be stair area. Side walls of east and west sections recessed for floor, that in east section lower than that in west. 3 chamfered posts on stone pads, braced to carry floor, 2 with cross-beams intact, remain in centre of ground floor in west section. Stone doors in north end of both cross-walls on ground and first floors, with chamfered jambs and broach stops, and jambs of another in south end of west wall on first floor.Plain ground floor fireplace in north wall of east section served by stack external on first-floor.

Progressive rebuilding has taken place:- the area between the cast cross wall and the king-post roof may be original, that between the cross walls is differently marked and may be slightly later. The area to the west of the west cross-wall was carefully rebuilt in 2 stages in the C18. The whole presents a remarkably uniform appearance.
The Jonathan Price Home - 1854 - 7905 Main Street
NRHP added 2002 - Building - #02001103
From the Clinton Historical Society website:
"One of the most ornate houses in Summit County, this home reflects the degree of prosperity that the Ohio & Erie Canal brought to the small community of Clinton."
Affectionately known locally as "The Gingerbread House", it occupies a prominent location on the corner of Main and Fulton Streets.
The Gothic Revival style is a 19th century adaptation of the late Medival forms of architecture. It is credited to Alexander Jackson Davis who popularized Gothic Revival through his Pattern Books, notably, "The Architecture of Cottage Houses" 1850.
Characteristics include steeply sloped gable roof with fish-scale shingles and Board and Batten siding with chamfered edges. A prominent, scrolled verge board skirts the bottom of the projective eave around the core section of the building. The gable apex is marked by a central finial with pyramid shaped top, chamfered edges and a bun pendant. The foundation consists of dressed and cut sandstone which evidence chisel marks. The flat roofed front porch canopy is supported by two Doric columns. The trabeated entryway features a four light transom and three paneled paired sidelights. The "outhouse", which is extant, also has a steeply pitched roof and fish-scale shingles. The total cost of construction, including the lot ($48) was $1,056.
The 1854 Mathews and Tainton Atlas contains a street map of Clinton and references the home owner "John" Price, General Merchandise and Coal Merchant. His office is believed to have been located on Lot 57 on North Street. He also owned a few lots that lined the Canal Basin on Water Street which served as a "parking lot" for Canal Boats.
The house represents the influence of ideas beyond the local area that also arrived via the Canal Boats along with those passengers and goods. It testifies to the owner's status in the community and level of sophistication that Mr. Price expressed through the design and construction."
Excerpt from www.brampton.ca/EN/Arts-Culture-Tourism/Tourism-Brampton/...:
44 Nelson Street West
Erected c. 1875, this home is built of red brick, is three bays wide and has a rectangular plan. A noteworthy feature is the central bay that projects slightly and which has a projecting porch, the roof of which is supported by two chamfered posts. Other features of the home include: buff brick quoins, voussoirs with decorative stone keystone, decorative wood frieze, and paired brackets typical of the Italianate style.
The 1893 Collector’s Rolls note that Reverend Alfred Grandier lived in the residence with George and Martha Mercy; Reverend Grandier was a minister at St. Paul’s Methodist Church.
Excerpt from Kawarthalakes.ca:
23 Adelaide Street North was constructed in the mid-nineteenth century and is a good example of an Italianate residence. It includes a number of features commonly found on Italianate houses during this time period, including ornate window hoods, a hipped roof with wide eaves, and decorative brackets. The house also retains a front verandah with chamfered columns and decorative woodwork. Historically, the house has association with John Langton who originally owned the property, and Dr. Joshua Fidler, a local doctor and coroner who contributed significantly to the religious life of Lindsay in the mid-nineteenth century. It forms part of a wider Victorian residential streetscape and maintains the character of the local area.
Description of Buildings:
Gesu Church is a rectangular structure of structural steel, reinforced-concrete construction and features exterior walls covered with stucco.
An arcaded portico projects from the west façade of the church and is divided by four massive piers into three bays.
The piers and pilasters on the opposite wall rest
on cubical pedestals approximately nine feet high. A chamfered molding serves as a capital for each pier and is repeated, at the same level as a belt course
running completely around the building.
The central bay of the portico projects slightly, and its arch springs from two semi-engaged Doric columns, thus framing
the main entrance of the church.
Articulation of the west wall echoes the tripartite divisions of the portico with semicircular arched portals at each bay. Double doors of wood and glass are recessed within the portal and have dentilled transoms and cartouches above.
The north façade of the church features an elevated basement from which piers rise to the architrave above. Indented panels between the piers contain tall, semi-circular arched stained glass windows.
A tripartite tower complex embellishes the roof. The central tower which is square in plan, rises in a series of steps and contains a belfry with arched windows. Two hipped roof towers flank the central tower.
Gesu Rectory is located directly east of the church and is connected to it. This four story rectangular structure is of structural steel, reinforced concrete construction, and its exterior walls are covered with stucco. Its pedimented gable
roof is covered with Spanish tile.
The main entrance is located in the center bay of the north façade and features a double door with large lights. The majority of windows are three over one double
hung sash. Round arch windows grace the fourth floor.
Gesu School is located east of the rectory. The building is a five story rectangular structure of reinforced concrete construction covered with stucco. A flat roof with parapet tops the building and features a pediment above the main entrance.
The focal point of the building is a grand, three story portico on the north façade. Ionic columns support the portico and are repeated in pilasters separating each bay. The main entrance features a colossal semi-circular arch with double doors.
The Fathers of the Society of Jesus have been instrumental in the establishment of Gesù Catholic Church from its inception. Gesù Parish was established as a result of the large Catholic community present in Miami. The original wooden church was built on land donated by Henry Flagler, and as Miami began to grow the need for a larger Church became a necessity. In 1921, the first cornerstone of this concrete and steel structure was laid to suit the needs of the growing Catholic community in Miami
Through the years, Gesù has been a spiritual ambassador to Catholics living in South Florida. It has taken on many roles aside from being a Church. For more than 75 years, Gesù Church started Gesù School which provided elementary and high school education. The school was run by the Sisters of St. Joseph
In addition, the Centro Hispano Católico at Gesù assisted Cuban refugees and refugees from other Central American countries with basic needs and helped with assimilation into a foreign country. From 1959-1982, the Centro Hispano Católico provided refugees with food, clothes, medical care, jobs, housing, daycare, school tuition, English classes, and immigration assistance. In 1962, Gesù served as headquarters to the Pedro Pan operation which bought more than 14,000 unaccompanied children from Communist Cuba
In September 1961, Gesù housed Belén Jesuit Preparatory School for a year and a half. After being exiled from Cuba, Jesuit Priests opened a school for refugee students who were living in Miami. This was the beginning of Belén Jesuit in South Florida.
Today, Gesù Catholic Church remains the spiritual center of downtown Miami. As the oldest church in South Florida, Gesù invites all to visit this historic landmark that has been serving South Florida’s Catholic community for nearly 120 years.

The Belen Hotel, at 200 Becker Ave. in Belen, New Mexico, United States, was built in 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
It is a two-story red brick flat-roofed L-shaped building with a chamfered corner. The hotel primarily served Santa Fe Railroad personnel. It was built for Mrs. Bertha Rutz, a German immigrant, who ran the hotel and its cafe until her death in 1953.
Since 1996 it has been the home of artist Judy Chicago* and her husband Donald Woodman, who spent three years converting it into a home.
*Judy Chicago, born Judith Sylvia Cohen; July 20, 1939, is an American feminist artist, art educator, and writer known for her large collaborative art installation pieces about birth and creation images, which examine the role of women in history and culture.
Not the first time I have photographed this magnificent building.

Real Colegio de Doncellas Nobles, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
El Colegio de Doncellas Nobles es un edificio de la ciudad española de Toledo, ocupado antiguamente por la institución homónima. Cuenta con el estatus de bien de interés cultural.
Actualmente el edificio está abierto parcialmente a la visita turística gestionada por la Archidiócesis de Toledo.
Se trata de un edificio de planta cuadrada con esquinas en chaflán, jardín trasero y patio interior. En alguno de sus puntos tiene cuatro plantas.
Todo el edificio descansa sobre un basamento de piedra granítica que sirve de base a los lienzos de ladrillo. Los vanos exteriores guardan una composición simétrica y se repiten con cierta equidistancia y ritmo. Son adintelados y están protegidos con rejas. Entre ellos destacan las múltiples combinaciones geométricas de los ladrillos, que se convierten en la base de la decoración. Se introducen líneas horizontales compuestas por azulejos de cerámica decorada.
El edificio tiene en sus tratamientos un carácter historicista neomudéjar. Constructivamente está realizado con estructura metálica, que se hace patente en elementos singulares, como el pasaje elevado que comunica el edificio primitivo con esta ampliación, donde se evidencia la estructura roblonada. Estas soluciones se destacan también en las galerías cubiertas del patio interior.
La fachada principal, orientada a mediodía, tiene dos portadas, una de entrada al colegio y la otra que da paso a la iglesia. La primera es de orden dórico, en sillería, con escudo real, y otro con las armas del fundador. La segunda posee dos cuerpos: El inferior, con un vano de medio punto enmarcado por cuatro pilastras en orden dórico, y sobre el que se ve un escudo con armas del Cardenal Silíceo. Ambas portadas son barrocas clasicistas.
En el lugar del antiguo salón principal, actualmente se encuentra la iglesia-capilla del colegio. Consta de una nave cubierta con bóveda de cañón con lunetos, crucero sobre pechinas y testero plano. Tiene un retablo principal con lienzo de la Virgen de los Remedios, titular del colegio. A los lados de la nave retablos barrocos, con la Virgen del Pozo y San Jerónimo. Al pie de la iglesia se encuentra el coro de capellanes y en el piso superior, guardado con reja, el coro de colegialas, con bóveda de aristas. Alberga una serie de pinturas de José Muriel Alcalá. En el centro de la capilla se encuentra el sepulcro del cardenal Silíceo realizado por Ricardo Bellver en 1890.
The College of Noble Maidens is a building in the Spanish city of Toledo, formerly occupied by the institution of the same name. It has the status of a Site of Cultural Interest.
The building is currently partially open to tourist visits, managed by the Archdiocese of Toledo.
It is a square building with chamfered corners, a rear garden, and an interior courtyard. It has four floors at some points.
The entire building rests on a granite stone plinth that serves as the base for the brick walls. The exterior openings maintain a symmetrical composition and are repeated with a certain equidistance and rhythm. They are lintelled and protected by grilles. Among them, the multiple geometric combinations of bricks stand out, becoming the basis of the decoration. Horizontal lines composed of decorated ceramic tiles are introduced.
The building has a Neo-Mudejar historicist character in its treatments. Constructively, it is built with a metal structure, which is evident in unique elements, such as the elevated walkway that connects the original building with this extension, where the riveted structure is evident. These solutions are also highlighted in the covered galleries of the interior courtyard.
The main façade, facing south, has two doorways, one leading to the college and the other to the church. The first is Doric, ashlar, with a royal coat of arms, and the other with the founder's coat of arms. The second has two sections: the lower one has a semicircular opening framed by four pilasters in the Doric order, and above which can be seen a coat of arms of Cardinal Silíceo. Both doorways are Classical Baroque.
The college church-chapel currently stands on the site of the former main hall. It consists of a nave covered with a barrel vault with lunettes, a transept on pendentives, and a flat end wall. It has a main altarpiece with a painting of the Virgin of Los Remedios, patron saint of the college. On the sides of the nave are Baroque altarpieces, featuring the Virgin of the Well and Saint Jerome. At the foot of the church is the chaplains' choir, and on the upper floor, protected by a grille, is the schoolgirls' choir, with a groin vault. It houses a series of paintings by José Muriel Alcalá. In the center of the chapel is the tomb of Cardinal Silíceo, made by Ricardo Bellver in 1890.
The Cumberland Arms Hotel. Waymouth Street, Adelaide, South Australia
Originally licensed as the Crown and Anchor Hotel on a site further along Elizabeth Street, the current Cumberland Arms Hotel building dates from 1883 and was designed by H C Richardson for Sir E T Smith, brewer and philanthropist. It is a typical corner hotel with chamfered corner and verandah/balcony, but features some ebullient detailing which makes it out of the ordinary. It also serves as a reminder of the once dense residential development in the west end of Adelaide. The interior is significant for its fine entrance hall and staircase and for its upstairs rooms being largely intact.
This is one of Cornwall's finest churches and lies above Pont Creek, which is off the estuary of the River Fowey between Bodinnick and Polruan. It is Grade I-listed and considered by Simon Jenkins to be one of England's Thousand Best Churches.
Edmund Sedding, who restored the church in 1904/5, found it "a fascinating storehouse of Christian art.... no other Cornish church contains more of its old woodwork." The church features original unceiled waggon roofs throughout with chamfered ribs in the north aisle. The elaborate bench ends date from around 1500. The altar table dates to 1634 and was the gift of Sir Reginald Mohun of Boconnoc. The Mohuns were the most prominent family in the parish for centuries. The east window dates from the 19th century and is by the famous CE Kempe studios.
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 14,1972 primarily for its architectural significance. The architectural work of Wills and Dudley of New York, Holy Trinity is an outstanding example of the Gothic Revival style in church buildings. The original congregation had its beginnings in 1849 as a mission of Christ Church, Nashville's first Episcopal congregation. This Gothic Revival-style building was constructed of random, native limestone ashlar with a gable roof and large square tower centered on the facade. The tower, crowned in battlements, has a chamfered turret on the southwest corner. Simple masonry plate tracery is found in the pointed-arch tower window and belfry openings. The have walls are jointed by spurr buttresses with single pointed-arch windows located between each. The interior is divided into nave and sanctuary, and the narthex is in the base of the tower. The roof structure is exposed and supported by a system of modified hammer beams. Holy Trinity was first used by black Episcopalians in 1895, and its present predominantly black congregation was organized in 1902. Also, in 1862 the building was taken over by the Federal Army as a powder magazine and stable.

16th Century House on High Bridge.
High Bridge was built in the 13th century on Norman foundations. The earliest part of the foundations is thought to date from 1160. The range of shops and houses on the bridge date from the 16th century. It is the only surviving example in England of a medieval bridge carrying shops and houses.
historicengland.org.uk/services-skills/education/educatio...
High Bridge (High Street). High Bridge, in the center of modern Lincoln, spans the River Witham. The Shops on High Bridge (207, 209-210 High Street) date from the 16th century, but the history of the bridge itself goes back to the 12th century, with additions in the 13th, 16th and 19th centuries.
From the High Street, there are flights of steps on either side of the bridge that lead to the River Witham, and to where the Glory Hole can be seen. A Glory Hole is the name often given to the underneath of a bridge. High Bridge is believed to be the second oldest masonry arch bridge in the country.
This is one of only three bridges in England with shops on them, the others are Pulteney Bridge in Bath and Frome Bridge in Somerset.
High Bridge, Lincoln.
The High Bridge in Lincoln, England, is the oldest bridge in the United Kingdom which still has buildings on it. The bridge was built about 1160 A.D. and a chapel was built dedicated to Thomas Becket in 1235 on the east side of the bridge. The chapel was removed in 1762. The current row of timber framed shops on the west side of the bridge date from about 1550. The two upper storeys of the shops are jettied forward and at the corners there are carved figures of angels. The shops were partly dismantled and re-erected in 1901-02 under the supervision of the Lincoln architect William Watkins.
Bridges like this were common in the Middle Ages, the best known being London Bridge, but most have long since been demolished because of their obstruction to the river flow and to shipping.
The Glory Hole is the name given by generations of boaters to the High Bridge in Lincoln. It has a narrow and crooked arch which sets a limit on the size of boats using the Witham and going from Brayford Pool, at the start of Foss Dyke, to Boston and the sea.
Since the 14th Century the bridge has contributed to floods in Lincoln and after any heavy rain the bridge is virtually unnavigable, which may be why it got its name. A design by William Jessop in the 19th century to reroute the waters of the Witham through the south of the town was never implemented.

Description of Buildings:
Gesu Church is a rectangular structure of structural steel, reinforced-concrete construction and features exterior walls covered with stucco.
An arcaded portico projects from the west façade of the church and is divided by four massive piers into three bays.
The piers and pilasters on the opposite wall rest
on cubical pedestals approximately nine feet high. A chamfered molding serves as a capital for each pier and is repeated, at the same level as a belt course
running completely around the building.
The central bay of the portico projects slightly, and its arch springs from two semi-engaged Doric columns, thus framing
the main entrance of the church.
Articulation of the west wall echoes the tripartite divisions of the portico with semicircular arched portals at each bay. Double doors of wood and glass are recessed within the portal and have dentilled transoms and cartouches above.
The north façade of the church features an elevated basement from which piers rise to the architrave above. Indented panels between the piers contain tall, semi-circular arched stained glass windows.
A tripartite tower complex embellishes the roof. The central tower which is square in plan, rises in a series of steps and contains a belfry with arched windows. Two hipped roof towers flank the central tower.
Gesu Rectory is located directly east of the church and is connected to it. This four story rectangular structure is of structural steel, reinforced concrete construction, and its exterior walls are covered with stucco. Its pedimented gable
roof is covered with Spanish tile.
The main entrance is located in the center bay of the north façade and features a double door with large lights. The majority of windows are three over one double
hung sash. Round arch windows grace the fourth floor.
Gesu School is located east of the rectory. The building is a five story rectangular structure of reinforced concrete construction covered with stucco. A flat roof with parapet tops the building and features a pediment above the main entrance.
The focal point of the building is a grand, three story portico on the north façade. Ionic columns support the portico and are repeated in pilasters separating each bay. The main entrance features a colossal semi-circular arch with double doors.
The Fathers of the Society of Jesus have been instrumental in the establishment of Gesù Catholic Church from its inception. Gesù Parish was established as a result of the large Catholic community present in Miami. The original wooden church was built on land donated by Henry Flagler, and as Miami began to grow the need for a larger Church became a necessity. In 1921, the first cornerstone of this concrete and steel structure was laid to suit the needs of the growing Catholic community in Miami
Through the years, Gesù has been a spiritual ambassador to Catholics living in South Florida. It has taken on many roles aside from being a Church. For more than 75 years, Gesù Church started Gesù School which provided elementary and high school education. The school was run by the Sisters of St. Joseph
In addition, the Centro Hispano Católico at Gesù assisted Cuban refugees and refugees from other Central American countries with basic needs and helped with assimilation into a foreign country. From 1959-1982, the Centro Hispano Católico provided refugees with food, clothes, medical care, jobs, housing, daycare, school tuition, English classes, and immigration assistance. In 1962, Gesù served as headquarters to the Pedro Pan operation which bought more than 14,000 unaccompanied children from Communist Cuba
In September 1961, Gesù housed Belén Jesuit Preparatory School for a year and a half. After being exiled from Cuba, Jesuit Priests opened a school for refugee students who were living in Miami. This was the beginning of Belén Jesuit in South Florida.
Today, Gesù Catholic Church remains the spiritual center of downtown Miami. As the oldest church in South Florida, Gesù invites all to visit this historic landmark that has been serving South Florida’s Catholic community for nearly 120 years.

Teatro Arriaga, Bilbao, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
El Teatro Arriaga es un teatro de Bilbao, capital de Vizcaya, en el País Vasco (España). Es un edificio neobarroco de finales del siglo XIX, obra del arquitecto Joaquín de Rucoba y dedicado al compositor bilbaíno Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga, a quien se le ha denominado el "Mozart español". Fue inaugurado el 31 de mayo de 1890.
Es uno de los principales teatros bilbaínos y también de los edificios más notables de la villa. Ha sufrido diferentes avatares que han obligado a su reconstrucción y reforma, desde el incendio de 1914 hasta las inundaciones de 1983.
Se trata de una construcción exenta de planta trapezoidal que presenta alzados con cuerpo basamental almohadillado, cuerpo principal de orden gigante con vanos rectangulares y óculos profusamente decorados, y tercer cuerpo de remate separado del anterior por cornisa corrida.
La parte central de la fachada principal es de forma curvo-convexa, con balcón corrido sobre ménsulas profusamente decoradas, y cuerpo de remate con abundante decoración escultórica, ubicándose en su centro el gran frontón curvo decorado con lira bajo el que se encuentra el reloj. Esta parte central está flanqueada por cuerpos a modo de torrecillas y otros dos cuerpos laterales achaflanados y de menor altura. En estos últimos, así como en fachadas laterales y traseras, los balcones del piso principal se sustentan sobre ménsulas en forma de atlantes o titanes. Se cuenta que estas esculturas se importaron de Francia, donde se producían en serie con el uso de moldes. Son de hormigón imitando piedra.
La cubierta de la parte central es a doble vertiente tanto en su parte delantera en la que se remata por pequeño cimborrio como en cuerpo rectangular de mitad zaguera del edificio. Presenta cúpulas en torrecillas laterales y cubrición inclinada con mansardas en todo el perímetro del edificio.
Hay un palco para autoridades con decoración inspirada en el Orient Express que se abre en ocasiones especiales. También hay dos palcos en el escenario con entrada independiente y sin decoración alguna que se construyeron destinados a las viudas que en aquella época exigían discreción.
The Arriaga Theater is a theater in Bilbao, capital of Vizcaya, in the Basque Country (Spain). It is a neo-baroque building from the late 19th century, the work of architect Joaquín de Rucoba and dedicated to the Bilbao composer Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga, who has been called the "Spanish Mozart". It was inaugurated on May 31, 1890.
It is one of the main theaters in Bilbao and also one of the most notable buildings in the town. It has suffered different vicissitudes that have forced its reconstruction and reform, from the fire of 1914 to the floods of 1983.
It is a free-standing construction with a trapezoidal plan that presents elevations with a padded basement body, a main body of a giant order with rectangular openings and profusely decorated oculi, and a third finishing body separated from the previous one by a continuous cornice.
The central part of the main façade is curved-convex in shape, with a continuous balcony on profusely decorated corbels, and a finishing body with abundant sculptural decoration, with the large curved pediment decorated with a lyre located in its center, under which the clock is located. This central part is flanked by turret-like bodies and two other chamfered lateral bodies of lesser height. In the latter, as well as in the side and rear facades, the balconies of the main floor are supported on corbels in the shape of atlantes or titans. It is said that these sculptures were imported from France, where they were mass produced with the use of molds. They are made of concrete imitating stone.
The roof of the central part has a double slope, both in its front part, where it is topped by a small dome, and in the rectangular body of the rear half of the building. It has domes in side turrets and a sloping roof with mansards around the entire perimeter of the building.
There is a box for authorities with decoration inspired by the Orient Express that opens on special occasions. There are also two boxes on the stage with independent entrances and without any decoration that were built for widows who at that time required discretion.
During 1991 an experimental service was in operation using road trailers in specially built wagons, it was known as the Tiphook piggy-back train and it delivered pet food from Pedigree in Melton Mowbray. The trailers had a distinctive profile with chamfered corners to suit the loading gauge. The old goods yard was cleared and given a smooth surface to allow the trailers to be loaded by a tractor which shunted the trailers into a pivoted well which was then swung into line with the train. In this picture 20079 has the train split train, the remainder being back in the yard.
20072 was built by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn Ltd, it entered service at Eastfield Depot as D8072 (10/07/1961) The locomotive was withdrawn 01/1992

Parkside, South Australia
Young Street, Parkside
A masonry shop with verandah over the pavement. The shop retains a highly decorative parapet wall with triangular pediment, rendered brackets and brick side walls. The shopfront has splayed front
windows and a central door (joinery and glazing are non-original). The verandah posts are metal replacements. The side wall which faces George Street is random coursed sandstone with rendered
architraves and pilasters, base course, eaves moulding, and a blind window to retain the symmetry.
There has been a later addition to this frontage at the rear of the building.
The attached house is a random course sandstone symmetrically fronted cottage with a hipped roof with half gable. It has rendered architrave mouldings, chimney, eaves brackets and quoins, and face brick sides. The house retains a bull-nose verandah with chamfered timber posts, and timber framed
windows and doors.
James Smith, a draper, acquired Lot 11 Pt. Section 240 “South Parkside” in 1893. The store and house were built in 1894. From 1898 the property was leased. In 1911 it was transferred to Frank Smith also a draper. It appears to have served as a draper’s shop until at least 1924.

Holy Trinity Church, Ashford-in-the-Water
Holy Trinity Church, Ashford-in-the-Water is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England[3] in Ashford-in-the-Water, Derbyshire.
History
The Church dates from the 12th century. While some 13th-century parts remain – notably the south door with its original Norman decorative stone arch tympanum featuring carvings of a wild boar and other creatures,[4] and also parts of the west tower[5] – the church underwent extensive remodelling, including restoring the tympanum to its rightful place, between 1868 and 1870 by J.M. and H. Taylor, and was reopened on 24 June 1870 by the Bishop of Lichfield.[6]
Parish status
The church is in a joint parish with:
All Saints' Church, Bakewell
St Anne's Church, Over Haddon
St Katherine's Church, Rowsley
St Michael and All Angels' Church, Sheldon
Organ
A new organ was installed in 1928 by J Housley Adkins. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[7]
Bells
The church tower contains a ring of 6 bells, 4 cast in 1954, and 2 in 1966 by John Taylor of Loughborough.[8] There is also a Sanctus bell dating from 1699, also known as locals as the 'Pancake Bell'.[5]
Stained glass
The church contains a mixture of Victorian and more modern stained glass.[9]
The East window depicts the Crucifixion and is by Heaton, Butler and Bayne (1875).
The Cottingham Window (1880) has The Annunciation, designed by William Morris, and below St John by Edward Burne-Jones, originally for the Savoy Chapel (1869). The chalice and the dragon refer to the story that the priest of the temple of Diana at Ephesus gave John a poison cup to drink to test his faith. When he blessed the cup a dragon came out of it, symbolising poison, later used to represent faith and Satan. The Dove in the tracery is designed by Philip Webb.
In the south wall by the pulpit the Haworth window (1880) is by Clayton and Bell. It shows the six Works of Mercy included in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats in St Matthew’s gospel.
On the north wall the windows are modern.
The window of St. Nicholas, Patron Saint of children, was installed in 1953 and designed by Gerald Edward Roberts Smith (1883-1959), head of the Archibald Keightley Nicholson studio, in memory of Alice Tinsley.
The window of Our Lady with the Infant Christ was installed in 1960, designed by Francis Skeat. It commemorates William Herbert Olivier.
The Olivier Window was installed in 2001 and commemorates William Herbert Olivier. It is by Flore Vignet.

Description of Buildings:
Gesu Church is a rectangular structure of structural steel, reinforced-concrete construction and features exterior walls covered with stucco.
An arcaded portico projects from the west façade of the church and is divided by four massive piers into three bays.
The piers and pilasters on the opposite wall rest
on cubical pedestals approximately nine feet high. A chamfered molding serves as a capital for each pier and is repeated, at the same level as a belt course
running completely around the building.
The central bay of the portico projects slightly, and its arch springs from two semi-engaged Doric columns, thus framing
the main entrance of the church.
Articulation of the west wall echoes the tripartite divisions of the portico with semicircular arched portals at each bay. Double doors of wood and glass are recessed within the portal and have dentilled transoms and cartouches above.
The north façade of the church features an elevated basement from which piers rise to the architrave above. Indented panels between the piers contain tall, semi-circular arched stained glass windows.
A tripartite tower complex embellishes the roof. The central tower which is square in plan, rises in a series of steps and contains a belfry with arched windows. Two hipped roof towers flank the central tower.
Gesu Rectory is located directly east of the church and is connected to it. This four story rectangular structure is of structural steel, reinforced concrete construction, and its exterior walls are covered with stucco. Its pedimented gable
roof is covered with Spanish tile.
The main entrance is located in the center bay of the north façade and features a double door with large lights. The majority of windows are three over one double
hung sash. Round arch windows grace the fourth floor.
Gesu School is located east of the rectory. The building is a five story rectangular structure of reinforced concrete construction covered with stucco. A flat roof with parapet tops the building and features a pediment above the main entrance.
The focal point of the building is a grand, three story portico on the north façade. Ionic columns support the portico and are repeated in pilasters separating each bay. The main entrance features a colossal semi-circular arch with double doors.
The Fathers of the Society of Jesus have been instrumental in the establishment of Gesù Catholic Church from its inception. Gesù Parish was established as a result of the large Catholic community present in Miami. The original wooden church was built on land donated by Henry Flagler, and as Miami began to grow the need for a larger Church became a necessity. In 1921, the first cornerstone of this concrete and steel structure was laid to suit the needs of the growing Catholic community in Miami
Through the years, Gesù has been a spiritual ambassador to Catholics living in South Florida. It has taken on many roles aside from being a Church. For more than 75 years, Gesù Church started Gesù School which provided elementary and high school education. The school was run by the Sisters of St. Joseph
In addition, the Centro Hispano Católico at Gesù assisted Cuban refugees and refugees from other Central American countries with basic needs and helped with assimilation into a foreign country. From 1959-1982, the Centro Hispano Católico provided refugees with food, clothes, medical care, jobs, housing, daycare, school tuition, English classes, and immigration assistance. In 1962, Gesù served as headquarters to the Pedro Pan operation which bought more than 14,000 unaccompanied children from Communist Cuba
In September 1961, Gesù housed Belén Jesuit Preparatory School for a year and a half. After being exiled from Cuba, Jesuit Priests opened a school for refugee students who were living in Miami. This was the beginning of Belén Jesuit in South Florida.
Today, Gesù Catholic Church remains the spiritual center of downtown Miami. As the oldest church in South Florida, Gesù invites all to visit this historic landmark that has been serving South Florida’s Catholic community for nearly 120 years.

Basílica de la Virgen de la Peña, Graus, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
La antigua basílica de la Virgen de la Peña se levanta en la villa española de Graus (Ribagorza, provincia de Huesca, Aragón). El actual templo se levantó a mediados del siglo XVI sobre un edificio románico anterior. Consta de iglesia, patio y hospital de peregrinos con un bello claustro-mirador.
Proponemos a los visitantes que comiencen la visita desde el interior de la iglesia. Allí quedan restos del edificio románico, en concreto en la parte inferior del muro del evangelio, donde hay una pequeña puerta en alto y sillares más pequeños. El edificio actual presenta, una nave única de dos tramos, cubiertos con bóvedas de terceletes (la de los pies era originalmente estrellada) y una cabecera plana sobre la que se levanta una torre poligonal rematada en chapitel. LLama la atención el achaflanamiento de los ángulos de los pies de la nave.
La puerta de entrada tiene arco de medio punto y abundante decoración: (candelieri, casetones, angelotes, escudos y guirnaldas) y se enmarca por columnas unidas por un entablamento. Frente a ella, el pórtico imita sus formas corintias. En su friso se encuentra la firma de Joan Tellet en dos cartelas junto a una pequeña ménsula que llama la atención del observador. Allí está también la puerta de la capilla de San Juan de Letrán y una escalinata que une el pórtico con el patio. la esquina de la iglesia nos hace comprender el achaflanamiento interior, ya que si no se hubiera adoptado esta solución los contrafuertes exteriores ocuparían el solar de esta escalinata.
La arquería del hospital se abre al patio. Allí vemos cómo la estructura de este edificio apoya sobre la de la iglesia. Otra arcada sobre columnas torsas nos ofrece una espléndida vista de Graus y de la confluencia de los ríos Ésera e Isábena. Al salir, bajando por la rampa, veremos la otra esquina de la iglesia y de nuevo entendemos el achaflanamiento interior la nave, pues otro contrafuerte exterior hubiera impedido el camino de acceso al conjunto.
Desde el exterior se observan diferencias en los dos tramos de la iglesia:
la primera fase de las obras articula sus paños con molduras y contrafuertes
la segunda, obra de Tellet, que presenta paños y esquinas lisos.
En el conjunto del hospital también se ven dos fases:
un modesto edificio de cuatro plantas (apoyado sobre la iglesia y sobre la entrada al conjunto) fue seguramente el primero en construirse y debía servir de residencia del clero
una ampliación, mucho más ambiciosa, de tres plantas: la primera, con la arcada de arcos de medio punto que cobija la rampa de acceso; la segunda, con el mirador de columnas torsas; y la última, de ladrillo y totalmente reconstruida, donde se hallaban habitaciones destinadas a hospital de peregrinos y donde se ubica actualmente un museo de iconos.
The ancient basilica of the Virgen de la Peña stands in the Spanish town of Graus (Ribagorza, province of Huesca, Aragon). The current temple was built in the mid-16th century on a previous Romanesque building. It consists of a church, patio and pilgrim hospital with a beautiful cloister-viewpoint.
We suggest visitors begin their visit from inside the church. There are remains of the Romanesque building, specifically in the lower part of the gospel wall, where there is a small high door and smaller ashlars. The current building has a single nave with two sections, covered with triplet vaults (the one at the foot was originally star-shaped) and a flat head on which rises a polygonal tower topped with a spire. The chamfering of the angles of the feet of the nave is striking.
The entrance door has a semicircular arch and abundant decoration: (candelieri, coffers, angels, shields and garlands) and is framed by columns joined by an entablature. In front of it, the porch imitates its Corinthian forms. On its frieze there is the signature of Joan Tellet in two cartouches along with a small corbel that draws the observer's attention. There is also the door to the chapel of San Juan de Letrán and a staircase that connects the portico with the patio. The corner of the church makes us understand the interior chamfering, since if this solution had not been adopted the exterior buttresses would occupy the site of this staircase.
The hospital archway opens to the patio. There we see how the structure of this building supports that of the church. Another archway on twisted columns offers us a splendid view of Graus and the confluence of the Ésera and Isábena rivers. As we leave, going down the ramp, we will see the other corner of the church and once again we understand the interior chamfering of the nave, since another exterior buttress would have prevented the access path to the complex.
From the outside, differences are observed in the two sections of the church:
The first phase of the works articulates its panels with moldings and buttresses
the second, a work by Tellet, which presents smooth panels and corners.
In the hospital as a whole there are also two phases:
a modest four-story building (leaning on the church and on the entrance to the complex) was surely the first to be built and was to serve as the residence of the clergy.
a much more ambitious extension, with three floors: the first, with the archway of semicircular arches that shelters the access ramp; the second, with the viewpoint of twisted columns; and the last one, made of brick and completely rebuilt, where there were rooms used as a pilgrim hospital and where a museum of icons is currently located.

Tower, part of the remains of Hadlow Castle, a large Gothick house of late C18 origins. Tower begun 1838 (lantern added in 1840) for Walter Barton May to the designs of George Ledwell Taylor (Thirsk); modelled in part on William Beckford's 1812 tower (collapsed 1825) at Fonthill, Wiltshire, designed by James Wyatt. Rendered brick to imitate stone with the finer architectural detail and decoration built up in the Roman cement render. Gothick.
Plan: The tower was added at the south east corner of the original house (built by May's-father) with the stable courtyard to its north east. The main house was dismantled in 1951: what is left today is the stable courtyard, converted to housing, with the tower in the south east corner linked to the courtyard buildings by a freestanding wall, formerly the west wall of the house. Tower octagonal on plan with a circular stair turrett adjoining at the south west and a doorway on the north face. A lower, rectangular tower adjoins at the west. The original function of the main tower, beyond advertising the wealth and architectural ambition of the family, is obscure. The interior is relatively plain, especially when comapred with the lavish Interior of the house. It does not appear to have been heated originally and the smaller tower, between it and the house, was used as accommodation for men servants prior to 1951 (Thirsk).
Exterior: An extraordinary landmark, especially in the flat Hadlow landscape. 170 feet high, plus the lantern and covered with quite delicate Gothick detail in Roman cement, becoming progressively more elaborate on the upper stages. Slender 3-tier gabled projections to each of the cardinal faces with diagonal buttresses, steep gables and tall crocketted pinnacles. The 3-stage stair turret has a pierced parapet and lancet window. The stages of the tower are marked by string courses of various designs, some enriched with fleurons. The faces of the tower are divided by buttresses which rise above the pierced parapet as tall pinnacles with gabled crocketted pinnacles. Tall, buttressed, pinnacled lantern largely obscured by scaffolding at time of survey (1988). Various tall, Gothick windows, matching on each stage. The lower stage windows are 2-light and transomed with flamboyant tracery and moulded architraves with engaged shafts with capitals; incised crosses above the windows and, above them, a string course with a tier of engaged battlementing. The second stage also has 2-light transomed windows with quatrefoil windows above. Similar, narrower windows to the third stage with pairs of lancets above. The fourth stage has smaller transomed windows, each wall face covered in blind arcading in 2 tiers. The fifth stage also has 2 tiers of decoration, the lower tier trefoil-headed arcading, some blind, some glazed, the upper tier decorated with blind tracery and incorporating corbelled projections. Some of the Roman cement detail has fallen away. The gabled projections each have 2 tiers of tall lancet windows with moulded architraves, the embrasures filled with cusped lattice with traceried windows just below the gables. The north projection has a very tall, chamfered 2-centred doorway. The adjoining 4-storey servants' tower is embattled with a rounded projecting stair turret at the north west and various Gothick windows: lancets, 2-centred with cusped Y tracery and timber flamboyant traceried windows in square-headed embrasures.
Interior: Plain by comparison with the exterior but preserving some original doors with applied Gothick panelling. A remarkable example of ambitious Gothick design and an outstanding landscape feature.
The May family was essentially local and sum of the wealth used on the tower may have derived from hop-growing (Thirsk).
Monestir de Sant Pere de Besalú, Girona.
Besalú es un municipio de la comarca de La Garrotxa, en la provincia de Gerona, Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña, España. La población es un centro turístico gracias a su arquitectura medieval.
Del antiguo monasterio, resta sólo la iglesia, de planta basilical, con tres naves separadas por pilares cuadrangulares, crucero y un gran ábside central. La nave central, más elevada, está cubierta con bóveda de cañón, y las laterales con bóveda de cuarto de círculo. Al grosor del muro de los brazos del crucero se abren sendas nichos o pequeñas absidioles que no sobresalen al exterior. Tres absidioles más abren al muro del ábside central. El elemento más destacable de este conjunto es, sin embargo, la girola o deambulatorio, que se inscribe en el interior del ábside, y que es formada por cuatro parejas de columnas con capiteles esculpidos con decoraciones vegetales o figuraciones humanas ( como Daniel con los leones) que denotan la influencia del norte de Italia. Este sector es cubierto con bóveda semicircular de cuarto de círculo. En uno de los capiteles está la representación de Herodes aconsejado por el diablo y en otro la matanza de los Santos Inocentes.
La fachada, que denota también una influencia del norte de Italia, es centrada por un portal sencillo encima del cual se abre un ventanal con tres arcos de medio punto en degradación y dos columnas por lado. A ambos lados sendos leones en alto relieve, de influencia rosellonesa, flanquean la ventana. La fachada se corona con frontón triangular. El campanario se levanta sobre el brazo norte del crucero. Su cuerpo superior, con los ángulos achaflanados, grandes ventanales de arcos de medio punto y azotea con balaustrada, está fechado en 1649. Del antiguo claustro, gótico, no queda prácticamente nada, salvo algunas lápidas y claves de vuelta dispersas.
Besalú is a municipality of the region of La Garrotxa, in the province of Gerona, Autonomous Community of Catalonia, Spain. The town is a tourist center thanks to its medieval architecture.
Of the old monastery, only the church remains, of basilical plant, with three naves separated by quadrangular pillars, cruiser and a great central apse. The central nave, higher, is covered with barrel vault, and the sides with quarter of a circle vault. To the thickness of the wall of the arms of the cruise open niches or small absidioles that do not protrude to the outside. Three more absidioles open to the wall of the central apse. The most remarkable element of this set is, however, the turn or ambulatory, which is inscribed inside the apse, and which is formed by four pairs of columns with capitals carved with plant decorations or human figures (such as Daniel with the lions ) That denote the influence of northern Italy. This sector is covered with semicircular vault of quarter of circle. In one of the capitals is the representation of Herodes advised by the devil and in another one the slaughter of the Holy Innocents.
The facade, which also denotes an influence of northern Italy, is centered by a simple portal above which opens a window with three arches of half point in degradation and two columns per side. On both sides, two lions in high relief, of Rosellonian influence, flank the window. The facade is crowned with a triangular pediment. The steeple rises above the north arm of the cruiser. Its upper body, with chamfered angles, large arched windows and roof with balustrade, is dated in 1649. Of the old Gothic cloister, there is practically nothing, except for some tombstones and scattered back keys.

12th Century font in St Mary's in Frome St Quintin, Dorset, England
from their onsite literature:
“The font at St Mary’s Frome St Quintin comprised of Purbeck Marble, octagonal bowl with two shallow blank pointed panels in each face, on a cylindrical stem and chamfered base. c 1200.
Although Christianity had firmly taken root by the 13th century, superstition was still rife in English villages. As holy water was then kept in the church font at all times, this led to it being used often for variety of non-religious purposes.
Villagers believed that the holy water contained special powers and was therefore systematically stolen to cure illness and disease. Sprinkled on farmland they were convinced it would produce good crops, poured on the threshold of homes it protected the inhabitants from witches, the devil and other evil spirits.
So common were these practices that an ecclesiastical order was issued forcing all churches to fit covers on their fonts, secured by metal bars and padlock to prevent the misuse of the water.
It is rare to find a font from the early 13th century that is without damage from the removal of it’s locks, as was the case with the font at Maiden Newton. It is even more unusual to find the remains of the lock still present in the rim as in our church.”

Evening in Rennes. A delivery driver leans against the chamfered scorner wall outside a pharmacy, helmet sill on, he flips through his phone. Night is beginning and the shop across from the pharmacy has shut their curtains, but the light inside fills the street with diffused light. The street level awash in white light while in the winding streets in the distance glow golden.
