Built in 1836, this Federal and Greek Revival-style building was constructed to serve as the State Capitol for Illinois, when the state Capital was Vandalia. Vandalia had become the Illinois State Capital in 1820, after it became clear that Kasakasia, which was located along the Mississippi River and had served as the territorial capital prior to statehood, was prone to flooding and unsuitable for long-term government operations. The Old Illinois State House was utilized as a state capitol building until 1839, when the capital was moved from Vandalia to Springfield and the Old State Capitol was constructed to house the state legislature. The building then became the Fayette County Courthouse in 1839, with the Fayette County Courts and government occupying the building until 1933. In the 1850s, two-story Greek Revival-style pedimented porticoes were added to the north and south facades, and the interior was modified to suit the needs of the county government during the 19th Century and early 20th Century. In 1933, the Fayette County Courthouse was moved to a renovated Queen Anne-style residence elsewhere in Vandalia, and the Old Illinois State House was restored and converted into a museum documenting its history and use as the State Capitol Building during the 1830s, as well as the early history of the Illinois State government when it was located in Vandalia between 1820 and 1839. The building features brick exterior walls, painted white, with a side-gable roof, two-story pedimented porticoes at the north and south entrances in the center of the building’s north and south facades, which feature square columns made of brick, also painted white, and doric capitals, twenty-over-twenty double-hung windows, doors with transoms and Greek Revival-style surrounds that include cornices and doric pilasters, decorative Italianate-style trim surrounds at the window openings, a cornice with denials, and a cupola in the middle of the roof with chamfered corners, decorative pilasters, six-over-six double-hung windows, a dome, and a flagpole. Inside, the building has been restored to its circa 1837 appearance, the year that the Illinois State Government voted to move the State Capital from Vandalia to Springfield, with a restored legislative chamber and offices, as well as gallery and exhibition space, restrooms, offices, and support areas. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and in 1985, became known as the Vandalia State House State Historic Site, operated by the Illinois Historic Preservation Division, formerly the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. The building today remains in operation as a history museum.

The Mason's Arms in Ackworth is a historic public house located on Bell Lane. It is a Grade II listed building, which means it is of special architectural or historic interest. The building dates back to 1682, as indicated by the lintel above the door. However, it has undergone alterations and enlargements, particularly in the late 18th century.
The pub features a T-plan structure with a five-bay front range and a rear wing. It is constructed from coursed sandstone blocks and has a stone slate roof. The interior has some stop-chamfered beams, although it has been altered over time

In the early 16th century a chantry of St. Mary, whose date of foundation is unknown, provided in theory for an additional priest, though the stipend was evidently not sufficient to keep the priest in the parish. In 1933 the £150 realized by the sale of the schoolroom was invested in trust for ecclesiastical purposes. The Church of ST. MARY, a building of stone with a Cotswold stone roof, comprising chancel, nave, north aisle, organ chamber, and vestry, and a western tower with spire, was almost completely rebuilt in 1867 by the lord of the manor, Charles Shapland Whitmore, in the Early English and Decorated styles. It contains, however, an early 13th-century arcade of four bays and a piscina of the same period. The arches of the arcade are of two chamfered orders supported on plain round columns with octagonal scalloped cushion capitals; the easternmost bay may be a 19th-century copy. The piscina has a semi-octagonal projecting basin, scalloped inside. The arcade suggests that the rebuilding was roughly to the plan of the earlier church, and c. 1700 the church had a north aisle and a western tower with a saddleback roof. By 1851 there was a gallery. The church contains monuments, from the late 17th century, to members of the Whitmore family buried in the north aisle. Of the six bells, one is thought to be by Robert Hendley of Gloucester , two are by Edward Neale of Burford, 1683, and three were made in 1866. The plate includes a chalice and paten cover of 1576. Baptisms, marriages, and burials at Lower Slaughter were entered in the registers of Bourton-on-the-Water until 1813.
Lower Slaughter is a village in the English county of Gloucestershire, located in the Cotswold district, 4 miles (6.4 km) south west of the town of Stow-on-the-Wold. The village is built on both banks of the River Eye, which also flows through Upper Slaughter. At the west end of the village there is a 19th-century water mill with an undershot waterwheel and a chimney for additional steam power. There is a ford where the river widens in the village and several small stone footbridges join the two sides of the community. While the mill is built of red brick most of the 16th and 17th century homes in the village use Cotswold sandstone and are adorned with mullioned windows and often with other embellishments such as projecting gables. Records exist showing that Lower Slaughter has been inhabited for over 1000 years. The Domesday Book entry has the village name as “Sclostre”. It further notes that in 1066 and 1086 that the manor was in the sheriff's hands. Lower Slaughter Manor, a Grade-II listed 17th-century house, was granted to Sir George Whitmore in 1611 and remained in his family until 1964. The 13th century Anglican parish church is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin. Much of the current structure was built in 1866; however, the spire and peal of six bells was recently restored. In May 2013 it was reported in the national news that the Parish Council were fiercely opposed to the presence of an icebox tricycle selling ice creams for seven days a week, six months of the year, citing that the trading times were excessive, increased footfall would prevent the grass from growing and that children could climb on the trike and fall into the nearby river.

Soooo here are the couple tricks behind this non-purist build. Obviously some of you were curious about the chamfered 2x4 medium azure tiles.
I invested in an Ultimaker II 3D Printer last year. I quickly tried out the limitations for printing Lego bricks. It turns out tiles work quite well. When studs are involved however it is no longer good enough for the serious trade that is SHIPbuilding!
I recently discovered a PLA filament (which is the material used by the printer) with a color very very close to Lego's Medium Azure used for Maersk sets.
It was obvious i had to use it. Custom designed and 3D printed bricks are circled in red.
I also printed a few with a gray filament that is slightly darker than Light Bluish Gray.
In the end the variety and number of MegaBloks; circled in yellow, used is very limited.
And the 2x2 and 2x4 tiles are just almost identical to Lego. The real 'rule breaking' brick is the 2x1 'half-tile' with holes that allows to smooth out the top studs of selected bricks. I'm a bit ashamed of that one but the result is so great that it's worth the guilttrip!
If anyone is interested I will make the printable 3D models available on a specific platform.
I always wanted to highlight the structure of the ship: built in 2 main sections connected by 2 hull pannels (circled blue) and 2 lateral switchs (circled green). This ship can be dismantled in the 2 sections that are both under 90cm, for easier transport to exhibitions.
Happy CHEATtember everyone ;)
Church of St Brendan, Brendon Devon
Curiously the spelling of the village and 6c saint differs.
The church stands on a sloping hillside well away from the village it serves. It replaced a church of 12c foundation dedicated possibly to St Brendan or to the Virgin Mary at Cheriton two miles away, which was abandoned in the early 18c and of which little now remains.
The present building consists of a 4-bay nave with lean-to north aisle and south porch, 2-bay chancel with north transept / organ chamber. lean-to north-east vestry, and west tower in Gothic style.
The nave, chancel and gabled south porch date to 1738 and are thought to have been built with reused material from Cheriton
The 4 stage tower was rebuilt in 1828;
All restored & refurbished in 1873 with pine pews and new stone pulpit , with north aisle, north transept and vestry added
Inside the walls have been stripped of plaster. The barrel vaulted roof is probably 18c www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/qG5NE4W474
The early 20c elaborately carved wooden reredos, altar rails and choir stalls, are by local carpenter, John Floyd.
The mid to late 12c stone font on octagonal step, with chamfered square base, circular stem and scalloped square bowl still survives and probably came from Cheriton www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/V31zjop16F
Another early Norman font / pillar piscina (probably assembled from separate parts) has a carved circular bowl , stem and base, is strapped for safety to a nearby pillar www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/f127ytS4AC
Over the porch is a sundial made of slate, dated 1707 which predates the church and was probably relocated from another site. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/N8q71i7roe

The Hunting Tower.
Our incredible Hunting Tower stands on the escarpment 400 feet above Chatsworth House, on the edge of Stand Wood. This fascinating building was completed around 1582 for Bess of Hardwick, ancestress of the Dukes of Devonshire, to designs by the famous Elizabethan architect Robert Smythson.

The Tower stands on the escarpment 400 feet above Chatsworth House, on the edge of Stand Wood. There are panoramic views over Capability Brown's magnificent Park. This unique and fascinating building was completed c.1582 for Bess of Hardwick, ancestress of the Dukes of Devonshire, to designs by the famous Elizabethan architect Robert Smythson. Please note that while this cottage is child friendly, we recommend older children only due to the spiral staircase.
The sixteenth century hunting tower may have been a banqueting house or summerhouse and, as its name implies, it was also used by the ladies to watch the hounds working when hunting in the park below. In modern times it was lived in by members of the estate staff and most recently by the Duke's nephew.
After extensive repairs to the fabric of the building, completed in 2003, it was decided to let the Hunting Tower as a holiday home, giving visitors to Chatsworth an oppertunity to stay in this wonderful place. In 2006, a small stone outbuilding to the foot of the tower was converted to provide additional accomodation for larger groups wishing to stay in the Tower.

Sherburn-in-Elmet is a large industrial village but the excellent church is well placed on an eminence by itself to the west, with steeply falling ground to the north and distant views across flat countryside towards Tadcaster. It is also another church in this area built of cream-coloured magnesian limestone, probably here to be equated with the Huddleston stone that was once dug in the region of Huddleston Old Wood, a mile and a half to the west. There are still working quarries nearby, notably in the triangle between the railway line, the A1 and the B1222.
All Saints' presents a fine sight from the south (as above) as a result, chiefly, of its Perpendicular work, yet the interior is even better and of a different age entirely. However, to begin outside, the building consists of a W. tower, a four-bay nave and a three-bay chancel, with six bay aisles that embrace the tower and extend for one bay alongside the chancel, a S. porch, and a tall, cross-gabled chantry chapel adjoining the S. porch to the east. The show side of the building has three-light windows with supermullioned tracery, with two tiers of reticulation units above the central lights and inverted daggers beneath secondary subarcuation over the outer lights in the manner that Dr. John Harvey traced back to Great Shelford in Cambridgeshire, where the work is dated c. 1396 (The Perpendicular Style, London, Batsford, 1978, pp. 125 & 142). The nave clerestory is formed of three-light but untraceried, square-headed windows, and this is also the form of the N. aisle windows, where the sills are some 8½' (2.6 m.) from the ground, allowing room below for a narrow Norman window, still thought to be in situ. Yet the S. porch outer doorway is neither Norman nor Norman-Transitional, notwithstanding the chevron moulding on both sides (i.e. outside and in) of its pointed arch, nor its two orders of circular shafts with scalloped capitals, even though a very small amount of ancient masonry has been re-used in its construction. Rather, this is the work of Anthony Salvin (1799-1881), a pupil of Nash, who restored the church in 1857 and built the vestry in the northeast angle between the chancel and the end of the N. aisle. The one-bay extension of the S. aisle beside the chancel, known as the Steeton chapel, has a magnificent five-light E. window (illustrated left) with intersecting subarcuation of the lights in threes, through reticulation, supertransoms above lights two and four, and inverted daggers beneath secondary subarcuation over lights one, three and five. Beyond this, the chancel is lit by three lancets in the S. wall, of which the easternmost is steeper than the other two, and by three equal lancets in the E. wall, together with an oval window in the gable. Pevsner considered these to be original (Nikolaus Pevsner & Enid Radcliffe, The Buildings of England: Yorkshire West Riding Harmondsworth, Penguin, 1967, p. 482) but notes in the church says they are of restoration date only (although they do look old). This leaves the chantry (formerly mortuary) chapel to describe, and the W. tower. The former has a three-light, square-headed S. window and a similar window to the east, on which side also the chapel is embattled. It communicates with the porch through a doorway in its W. wall, and is divided from the nave by another wall to the north, pierced only by a large, oddly-shaped, glazed window that could be sixteenth century in origin or later. The tower is diagonally buttressed and has two, two-light bell-openings with supermullioned tracery on each side, while above, there are battlements and crocketed pinnacles at the angles. Yet the Perpendicular guise of this church is highly misleading and the interior comes as a shock, for which neither the round-headed N. window nor the round-arched S. porch inner doorway, have been adequate preparation, for it proves almost wholly Norman, with the power to recall twelfth century work on the monumental scale, most notably at Durham Cathedral, an association that is entirely apposite as it is probably that cathedral's influence which is seen here, after translation via Selby Abbey.
This is most apparent in the nave arcades, composed of massive circular piers and round arches bearing a complex series of rolls and hollows. (See the N. arcade, above right.) The capitals (which go together in pairs, north to south) present variations on the scalloped form except for the leaf volutes on the E. responds. (Successive N. arcade piers and responds, from west to east, are illustrated at the foot of the page, beginning from the left.) Still powerful but cruder are the tower arches (north and south towards the embracing aisles and east towards the nave), each formed of three stepped orders bearing only the narrowest of chamfers, between which rises a heavy quadripartite vault (shown above right). Thus the majority of the tower is also Norman, the nave retains its twelfth century length, and the N. aisle (though not the S. aisle) is apparently still of its original width. Neither can the earlier nave have been much lower than the present one, for above the E. arch of the tower is a round-headed Sanctus bell window (which were generally constructed to allow someone sitting in the ringing chamber to follow the service) with an order of side shafts, and the nave roof must always have been above this. Only at the line of the chancel arch is the twelfth century finally left behind and the thirteenth century reached, for here the pointed arch consists of two flat-chamfered orders, the outer continuous down the responds and the inner springing from semicircular shafts. It looks very tall and slender in comparison with the nave arcades although its proportions are actually quite commonplace. The arches from the chancel to the Steeton chapel and what was once the N. chapel but is now the organ chamber, are double-flat-chamfered with the inner orders supported on corbels, the style of which is simpler to the north. There are no arches between the nave aisles and their extensions as chapels, which now appear as unified spaces although they cannot have been so originally. Indeed, a curved portion of the N. aisle wall, east of the easternmost pier, seems to show this aisle once terminated in an apse, in which case the S. aisle and chancel would probably have done likewise. The nave and aisles may then have been covered by a single, steeply pitched roof, very high in the centre but coming down at the aisle walls to the level of the present Perpendicular window sills, making narrow round-headed windows like that surviving to the north, the only lighting this very wide church would probably have received.

From Wikipedia:
Hobart Cenotaph (usually The Cenotaph, also referred to as Hobart War Memorial) is the main commemorative military monument for the Australian state of Tasmania. It is located in the capital Hobart in a prominent position on the Queens Domain, on a small rise overlooking the city and River Derwent. The Cenotaph sits directly above what was once the location of the Queens Battery.
The Cenotaph is the centre of Anzac Day commemoration services at dawn and mid-morning, and is the destination of the marching procession. On Anzac Day at the break of dawn, a lone bugler always plays the Last Post.
The Hobart Cenotaph is an Art Deco reinterpretation of a traditional Egyptian obelisk. The Cenotaph was originally erected to commemorate the war dead of Tasmania from World War I, but has had subsequent additions made for all conflicts since then in which Tasmanian soldiers have served. The original inscription reads: "Lest We Forget", and "1914–1919". Although World War I ended on 11 November 1918, the inscription is dated '1919' in commemoration of the Treaty of Versailles which was signed on 28 June 1919. There are no names recorded upon the Cenotaph itself.
An Anzac Day commemoration was held there in 1925 during construction. During the ceremony, a casket of solid zinc which bore the names of the 522 Tasmanians who were killed in World War I was set into the base of the shaft. It was unveiled on 13 December 1925 and replaced a previous wooden structure.
The monument was designed by Hobart architectural firm Hutchinson and Walker, after their entry had won a public competition held in 1923 for the structure's design. Their original design was for an obelisk that was to stand 65 feet (20 m) high, but it was decided to increase the height to 75 feet (23 m) in order that a cross be placed on top. The obelisk itself stands upon a stepped plinth 8 square metres (86 sq ft) made from bluestone, and the obelisk is made from grey granite. The shaft of the obelisk is tapered with chamfered edges and is capped with a pyramidal cap. Directly beneath the cap on each side are back-lit red opaque glass Latin crosses that are illuminated constantly in remembrance of the dead.
Other features of the original design are a bronze laurel wreath on the north face, bronze fluted panels on each face of the plinth, six rosettes on each side of the Obelisk base, and groups of three flag holders on the north, east and west faces of plinth. On each of the four faces are the crests of the four service organisations – the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Australian Navy, Australian Commonwealth Military Forces and the Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps (which was added in 1991). Floodlights on each corner illuminate the shaft of the Obelisk at night.
The site of the Hobart Cenotaph was deliberately chosen for its prominence. Not only is it a location with its own military legacy, having been the site of the Queens Battery from 1838 until 1923, but the site also has excellent views of the city, Mount Wellington and the Derwent River. Following the completion of the Cenotaph, the site was landscaped extensively with a paved avenue lined with Poplar trees, and named "Anzac Parade", leading from the Tasman Highway to the Cenotaph.
The Hobart Cenotaph was originally designed as a memorial to the Tasmanians who died serving their country in World War I. However it was later decided that the Cenotaph would be altered to commemorate those who had died in subsequent conflicts as well.
The first addition was for soldiers who were killed in World War II, and was placed directly below the "1914–1919" inscription, and simply reads:"1939-45". Subsequent inscriptions memorialising Tasmanian war dead in more recent conflicts on the face of the plinth below those of the two world wars are: "The Korean War", "The Malayan Emergency", "The Indonesian Confrontation", "The Vietnam War", and "Peace-Keeping Operations".

The Allardt Presbyterian Church was organized on October 26, 1902, by a committee from the Kingston Presbytery. Although chartered as the First Presbyterian Church, it has been known, generally, as the Allardt Presbyterian Church. The church building was designed by Max Colditz; its chamfered woodwork details are similar to those in the Gernt house and the Gernt office located just around the corner from the church in Allardt. Emil Steinert, Otto Baese, & Andrew Lake built the church. The colored-glass window in the church depicts community life & organizations and it was designed by John Morgan in the late 1940s. The building was dedicated on November 29, 1903. The Allardt Presbyterian Church was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places under criterion A & C for its local significance in the areas of social history & architecture. During the early years of the church, especially under the leadership of Henry C. Rogers & Vernon Robinson, it encouraged and provided various services to the community. Architecturally, the building is an excellent example of a Gothic Revival influenced church. The arched entry and lancet muntins, bell tower, and finely crafted interior woodwork are important facets of the building. It was added to the National Register on July 3, 1991. All the information above was gleaned from the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Small chapel in Gothic style with gable end entrance and 3-window side walls. Constructed of narrow coursed stone under a slate roof, with sandstone dressings and a plinth. At the 4 angles are diagonal buttresses with offsets surmounted by tall pinnacles. Tall pointed arched windows with Y-tracery, 2 transoms and hoodmoulds with head or foliate bosses. The doorway to the S gable end is chamfered with a pointed-arched head and contains C20 double planked doors. It is flanked by tall pointed arched windows. Above the doorway is a rectangular stone tablet reading 'Independent Chapel Castellau, Built AD 1843, Rebuilt AD 1877'. Above the tablet and lighting the gallery is a replaced 3-light window under a round head with wooden tracery including a transom. Head bosses survive to each side of the arch, probably relating to the earlier stepped window. In the gable apex is a keyed oculus, the opening boarded over. String course following line of verges which continues around pinnacles.
Bishops' House
Bishops' House is a half-timbered house in the Norton Lees district of the City of Sheffield, England. It was built c. 1500[1] and is located on the southern tip of Meersbrook Park. It is one of the three surviving timber-framed houses in the city (the others being the Old Queen's Head and Broom Hall).
It is known as Bishops' House because it was said to have been built for two brothers, John and Geoffrey Blythe, both of whom became Bishops. There is, however, no evidence that they ever lived in this house—the first known resident is William Blythe, a farmer and scythe manufacturer, who was living here in 1627.
Samuel Blyth was the last of the family to live in the house, dying in 1753, after which his sons sold the house to a William Shore. The Blyth family subsequently moved to Birmingham. Notable descendants were Benjamin Blyth, Sir Arthur Blyth and Benjamin Blyth II. The house was subsequently let to a tenant farmer and his labourer, at which point the house was sub-divided into two dwellings.
In 1886 ownership passed to the Corporation (Sheffield City Council) and various recreation department employees lived in the house until 1974.
It is a Grade II* listed building and has been open as a museum since 1976, following a renovation funded by English Heritage and Sheffield City Council. The Sheffield Galleries and Museums Trust managed the building for some years until April 2011, when management of public opening, on behalf of the building's owner Sheffield City Council, was conferred to the Friends of Bishops' House. The building is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays between 10am and 4pm. In April 2012 Sheffield Galleries and Museums Trust stopped providing educational visits and the Friends of Bishops' House began opening the house to schools also. The displays in the house have had some recent small changes but are still curated by Museums Sheffield. The Friends of Bishops' House is a registered charity and limited company, run entirely by volunteers. The house contains exhibitions on life in the 16th and 17th centuries with two rooms decorated in Jacobean style.
The building is featured on the cover of local band Monkey Swallows the Universe's second album The Casket Letters.

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.

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.

In the early 16th century a chantry of St. Mary, whose date of foundation is unknown, provided in theory for an additional priest, though the stipend was evidently not sufficient to keep the priest in the parish. In 1933 the £150 realized by the sale of the schoolroom was invested in trust for ecclesiastical purposes. The Church of ST. MARY, a building of stone with a Cotswold stone roof, comprising chancel, nave, north aisle, organ chamber, and vestry, and a western tower with spire, was almost completely rebuilt in 1867 by the lord of the manor, Charles Shapland Whitmore, in the Early English and Decorated styles. It contains, however, an early 13th-century arcade of four bays and a piscina of the same period. The arches of the arcade are of two chamfered orders supported on plain round columns with octagonal scalloped cushion capitals; the easternmost bay may be a 19th-century copy. The piscina has a semi-octagonal projecting basin, scalloped inside. The arcade suggests that the rebuilding was roughly to the plan of the earlier church, and c. 1700 the church had a north aisle and a western tower with a saddleback roof. By 1851 there was a gallery. The church contains monuments, from the late 17th century, to members of the Whitmore family buried in the north aisle. Of the six bells, one is thought to be by Robert Hendley of Gloucester , two are by Edward Neale of Burford, 1683, and three were made in 1866. The plate includes a chalice and paten cover of 1576. Baptisms, marriages, and burials at Lower Slaughter were entered in the registers of Bourton-on-the-Water until 1813.
Lower Slaughter is a village in the English county of Gloucestershire, located in the Cotswold district, 4 miles (6.4 km) south west of the town of Stow-on-the-Wold. The village is built on both banks of the River Eye, which also flows through Upper Slaughter. At the west end of the village there is a 19th-century water mill with an undershot waterwheel and a chimney for additional steam power. There is a ford where the river widens in the village and several small stone footbridges join the two sides of the community. While the mill is built of red brick most of the 16th and 17th century homes in the village use Cotswold sandstone and are adorned with mullioned windows and often with other embellishments such as projecting gables. Records exist showing that Lower Slaughter has been inhabited for over 1000 years. The Domesday Book entry has the village name as “Sclostre”. It further notes that in 1066 and 1086 that the manor was in the sheriff's hands. Lower Slaughter Manor, a Grade-II listed 17th-century house, was granted to Sir George Whitmore in 1611 and remained in his family until 1964. The 13th century Anglican parish church is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin. Much of the current structure was built in 1866; however, the spire and peal of six bells was recently restored. In May 2013 it was reported in the national news that the Parish Council were fiercely opposed to the presence of an icebox tricycle selling ice creams for seven days a week, six months of the year, citing that the trading times were excessive, increased footfall would prevent the grass from growing and that children could climb on the trike and fall into the nearby river.

"he Eixample (pronounced [əˈʃamplə]; Catalan for 'expansion' or 'Expansion District') is a district of Barcelona between the old city (Ciutat Vella) and what were once surrounding small towns (Sants, Gràcia, Sant Andreu etc.), constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries....
The Eixample is characterized by long straight streets, a strict grid pattern crossed by wide avenues, and square blocks with chamfered corners (named illes in Catalan, manzanas in Spanish). This was a visionary, pioneering design by Ildefons Cerdà, who considered traffic and transport along with sunlight and ventilation in coming up with his characteristic octagonal blocks, where the streets broaden at every intersection making for greater visibility, better ventilation and (today) some short-term parking areas." --https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eixample

The Taj Mahal is located on the right bank of the Yamuna River in a vast Mughal garden that encompasses nearly 17 hectares, in the Agra District in Uttar Pradesh. It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal with construction starting in 1632 AD and completed in 1648 AD, with the mosque, the guest house and the main gateway on the south, the outer courtyard and its cloisters were added subsequently and completed in 1653 AD. The existence of several historical and Quaranic inscriptions in Arabic script have facilitated setting the chronology of Taj Mahal. For its construction, masons, stone-cutters, inlayers, carvers, painters, calligraphers, dome builders and other artisans were requisitioned from the whole of the empire and also from the Central Asia and Iran. Ustad-Ahmad Lahori was the main architect of the Taj Mahal.
The Taj Mahal is considered to be the greatest architectural achievement in the whole range of Indo-Islamic architecture. Its recognised architectonic beauty has a rhythmic combination of solids and voids, concave and convex and light shadow; such as arches and domes further increases the aesthetic aspect. The colour combination of lush green scape reddish pathway and blue sky over it show cases the monument in ever changing tints and moods. The relief work in marble and inlay with precious and semi precious stones make it a monument apart.
The uniqueness of Taj Mahal lies in some truly remarkable innovations carried out by the horticulture planners and architects of Shah Jahan. One such genius planning is the placing of tomb at one end of the quadripartite garden rather than in the exact centre, which added rich depth and perspective to the distant view of the monument. It is also, one of the best examples of raised tomb variety. The tomb is further raised on a square platform with the four sides of the octagonal base of the minarets extended beyond the square at the corners. The top of the platform is reached through a lateral flight of steps provided in the centre of the southern side. The ground plan of the Taj Mahal is in perfect balance of composition, the octagonal tomb chamber in the centre, encompassed by the portal halls and the four corner rooms. The plan is repeated on the upper floor. The exterior of the tomb is square in plan, with chamfered corners. The large double storied domed chamber, which houses the cenotaphs of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan, is a perfect octagon in plan. The exquisite octagonal marble lattice screen encircling both cenotaphs is a piece of superb workmanship. It is highly polished and richly decorated with inlay work. The borders of the frames are inlaid with precious stones representing flowers executed with wonderful perfection. The hues and the shades of the stones used to make the leaves and the flowers appear almost real. The cenotaph of Mumtaz Mahal is in perfect centre of the tomb chamber, placed on a rectangular platform decorated with inlaid flower plant motifs. The cenotaph of Shah Jahan is greater than Mumtaz Mahal and installed more than thirty years later by the side of the latter on its west. The upper cenotaphs are only illusory and the real graves are in the lower tomb chamber (crypt), a practice adopted in the imperial Mughal tombs.
The four free-standing minarets at the corners of the platform added a hitherto unknown dimension to the Mughal architecture. The four minarets provide not only a kind of spatial reference to the monument but also give a three dimensional effect to the edifice.
The most impressive in the Taj Mahal complex next to the tomb, is the main gate which stands majestically in the centre of the southern wall of the forecourt. The gate is flanked on the north front by double arcade galleries. The garden in front of the galleries is subdivided into four quarters by two main walk-ways and each quarters in turn subdivided by the narrower cross-axial walkways, on the Timurid-Persian scheme of the walled in garden. The enclosure walls on the east and west have a pavilion at the centre.
The Taj Mahal is a perfect symmetrical planned building, with an emphasis of bilateral symmetry along a central axis on which the main features are placed. The building material used is brick-in-lime mortar veneered with red sandstone and marble and inlay work of precious/semi precious stones. The mosque and the guest house in the Taj Mahal complex are built of red sandstone in contrast to the marble tomb in the centre. Both the buildings have a large platform over the terrace at their front. Both the mosque and the guest house are the identical structures. They have an oblong massive prayer hall consist of three vaulted bays arranged in a row with central dominant portal. The frame of the portal arches and the spandrels are veneered in white marble. The spandrels are filled with flowery arabesques of stone intarsia and the arches bordered with rope molding.
The Village Cross in Ackworth is a fascinating historical site! It's a Grade II listed building located on Purston Lane in High Ackworth, Wakefield. The cross is believed to be of late medieval origin, featuring a sandstone octagonal base with three high steps and a stop-chamfered shaft topped with a moulded cap and a Tudor ball finial.
It's prominently situated near the junction with Pontefract Road and has been a notable landmark since it was first listed on March 25, 1968.
Winchelsea. Population 1,600.
Winchelsea town emerged gradually beginning with the Barwon Inn opening in 1842 as this was a crossing place of the Barwon River. A timber bridge forded the river here in 1849. An Anglican church with the support of local pastoralists opened in 1846 and was used as a church and town school. The town was not laid out and surveyed until the early 1850s. A general store and government school opened in the 1846 church in 1854. The fine basalt Anglican Church was built in 1861 to the design of architect Nathaniel Billing. It is very English in appearance with a steep roof line that extends closer to the ground than usual giving the church a squat appearance. It was built under the supervision of William Prowse, architect of Geelong. A foundation stone for additions was laid in 1910 by Thomas Austin of Barwon Park. The Shire was proclaimed in 1860 and a new triple arched stone bridge was erected in 1867. It is now heritage listed. The old Shire Offices in bluestone/basalt was built in 1867 and in 1876 the railway from Geelong to Colac reached the town and train services began in 1877 the old railway station was built. The Shire Hall was rebuilt in 1907 hence the signage on it and it is occasionally open for the Historical Society. The red brick library was built in 1893 and the old Colonial Bank with the chamfered corner entrance was built around 1880. The other significant buildings include the Globe Theatre built in 1926 and used for movies. From 1946 onwards it was used as a public hall by the Winchelsea Shire Council until it became the Lions Club rooms in 1990. The town also has the St John the Baptist Catholic church built by 1900 with additions made in 1924. The Presbyterian Church which is now the Uniting Church was built in basalt in 1870.

I started out building my previous DIY camera www.flickr.com/photos/ezzie0304/4676126084/in/set-7215762... with the intent of ending up with a 6x17, but got side tracked. I´ve now made good on my original promise and here it is: The main body is built out of a case for a bottle of A.E.Dor Cognac. That of course ment I had to do what the British are best at, work around the inherent design faults, rather than fix the design.
I had to chop the case down lengthwise as there was a divider 2/3 of the way up. This meant there would be so little room to load and unload the film I had to have a removable chambre noir with film gate and rollers all in one. Getting the rear light tight would be difficult since I have a sliding rear door. The pressure plate has to be removable too, for the same reason the chambre noir is. I chamfered the corners of the face of the camera for cosmetic reasons. The case top, bottom and front are clad in oak. The sides, doubling up as handles, in another hardwood. The lens is the same as for the 4x5/6x12 project, and Fujinon SW 90 f8 on a Chinese helicoid mounted on a Linhof lensboard. Finder also from the 4x5/6x12, with a new mask.
The camera front (notice the sliding rear door protruding from the side):

Inside Humayun's Tomb
This tomb, built in 1570, is of particular cultural significance as it was the first garden-tomb in the Indian subcontinent. It inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating in the construction of the Taj Mahal.

Brief Synthesis
Humayun’s Tomb, Delhi is the first of the grand dynastic mausoleums that were to become synonyms of Mughal architecture with the architectural style reaching its zenith 80 years later at the later Taj Mahal. Humayun’s Tomb stands within a complex of 27.04 ha. that includes other contemporary, 16th century Mughal garden-tombs such as Nila Gumbad, Isa Khan, Bu Halima, Afsarwala, Barber’s Tomb and the complex where the craftsmen employed for the Building of Humayun’s Tomb stayed, the Arab Serai.
Humayun’s Tomb was built in the 1560’s, with the patronage of Humayun’s son, the great Emperor Akbar. Persian and Indian craftsmen worked together to build the garden-tomb, far grander than any tomb built before in the Islamic world. Humayun’s garden-tomb is an example of the charbagh (a four quadrant garden with the four rivers of Quranic paradise represented), with pools joined by channels. The garden is entered from lofty gateways on the south and from the west with pavilions located in the centre of the eastern and northern walls.
The mausoleum itself stands on a high, wide terraced platform with two bay deep vaulted cells on all four sides. It has an irregular octagon plan with four long sides and chamfered edges. It is surmounted by a 42.5 m high double dome clad with marble flanked by pillared kiosks (chhatris) and the domes of the central chhatris are adorned with glazed ceramic tiles. The middle of each side is deeply recessed by large arched vaults with a series of smaller ones set into the facade.
The interior is a large octagonal chamber with vaulted roof compartments interconnected by galleries or corridors. This octagonal plan is repeated on the second storey. The structure is of dressed stone clad in red sandstone with white and black inlaid marble borders.
Humayun’s garden-tomb is also called the ‘dormitory of the Mughals’ as in the cells are buried over 150 Mughal family members.
The tomb stands in an extremely significant archaeological setting, centred at the Shrine of the 14th century Sufi Saint, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. Since it is considered auspicious to be buried near a saint’s grave, seven centuries of tomb building has led to the area becoming the densest ensemble of medieval Islamic buildings in India.

The Grade I Listed Church of St John the Baptist located in the grounds of Stokesay Castle a fortified manor house in Stokesay, near Craven Arms in Shropshire
Although originally built in the 12th Century the Church is a rare example of the Commonwealth style having been rebuilt in 1654 during the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell's rule. John Derby Allcroft became Lord of the Manor and Patron of Saint John the Baptist church.
Nave, chancel and west tower. Sandstone rubble; 20th Century corrugated tile roof (nave); plain tile roof (chancel). Nave (south front): Two chamfered elliptical-headed two-light mullion windows; Transitional south doorway with chamfered semi-circular arch on attached columns to scalloped impost blocks; 19th Century rubble porch with stone tile roof.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin, widely known as St Mary Redcliffe, is one of the country's largest parish churches, and widely considered to be one of its finest. It is an outstanding example of English Gothic architecture. With a height of 274 feet to the top of the weathervane, St Mary Redcliffe is the second-tallest structure in Bristol and the sixth-tallest parish church in the country.
The church has received widespread critical acclaim from various architects, historians, poets, writers and monarchs. Queen Elizabeth I, on a visit to the church in 1574, described it as "The fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in England"; Simon Jenkins gives St Mary Redcliffe the maximum five-star rating in his book 'England's Thousand Best Churches', one of only eighteen to receive such a rating, describing it as a "masterpiece of English Gothic"; and Nikolaus Pevsner says that "St Mary Redcliffe need not fear comparison with any other English parish church".
The church has a traditional cruciform plan, with northwest tower, nave, transepts and chancel, as is common with many parish churches in England. However, more unusually, the form it takes is more akin to that of a cathedral than a parish church, with aisles on all four arms of the church, as well as a lady chapel to the east and two porches. The north porch is formed of two parts; an earlier 12th century inner porch and a much more elaborate 14th century outer porch. The outer porch, dating from circa 1325, is the most celebrated part of the building, and one of its greatest treasures. The lowest stage contains the main doorway, which has a seven-pointed double-chamfered entrance arch, described by Simon Jenkins calls "astonishing". The arch is inspired by Oriental architecture and features exceptionally intricate decoration of seaweed foliage.
The A lIsted Neidpath Viaduct which crossed the River Tweed near Peebels.
Here is the description of it from Historic Scotland:
Opened 1864 for the Caledonian Railway. Skewed 8-span former railway viaduct crossing the River Tweed. Rock-faced ashlar spandrels and voussoirs. Low stone parapets with cast-iron intermediate parapets.
N ELEVATION: rock-faced spandrels and voussoirs leading to skewed intrados; rusticated buttress pilasters decorated with cruciform arrow slits and smooth angle margins extending from rounded cutwaters. Semicircular course leading to stone and painted cast-iron parapet; squared piers formed from buttresses linking cast-iron parapet. 8th arch meeting embankment with later steps leading to track bed (now footpath).
S ELEVATION: rock-faced spandrels and voussoirs leading to skewed intrados; rusticated buttress pilasters decorated with cruciform arrow slits and smooth angle margins extending from rounded cutwaters. Semicircular course leading to ashlar and painted cast-iron parapet; squared piers formed from buttresses linking cast-iron parapet. 1st and 8th arches meeting embankments to either side of the River Tweed.
E TO W ELEVATION: sections of droved ashlar parapet wall at both ends, flat copes and slightly projecting bases with chamfered angles; rusticated end returns with polished angle margins. Sections of geometrically patterned, painted cast-iron parapet joined by squared stone piers (rising at regular intervals from buttresses) flanking full length of former track bed, now footpath.
Statement of Special Interest
Part of a B-Group with South Park Wood Railway Tunnel (listed separately). Originally this viaduct carried the railway line to Symington, Biggar & Broughton. As this viaduct was sited to the west of Peebles, it was built and owned by the Caledonian Railway. The Bridge was known as the "Queen's Bridge". Originally, a cross-Borders line between Glasgow and Berwick had been proposed by the Caledonian Railway in 1846 but had met with fierce opposition in Parliament by the North British Railway (who ran the line to the East of Peebles). Subsequently the line was delayed until permission was granted to the Syminton Biggar and Broughton Railway (who had been funded by the Caledonian Company) to construct it. By the time the line was opened, the SB & B Railway had been absorbed into the larger Caledonian Railway. The architect of the bridge is said to have carved a rough builder's model from a turnip. The viaduct remained in use until the early 1960s although the passenger service ended in June 1950. The viaduct now forms part of a Peebles town walk. Listed due to its fine masonry, ironwork and its unusual skew plan.
Built in 1909, this Queen Anne-style cottage has a near-twin on East 18th Street in the Austinburg neighborhood, which only differs in the type of porch columns, cladding materials, side elevation window placement, rear alterations, and the substitution of the weather vane for a finial. The house features a wooden clapboard and shingle-clad exterior, front dormer with a hipped roof and chamfered corners, featuring three decorative leaded glass windows, a front porch with doric columns, wooden railings, and an open pier foundation, central front door with decorative glass sidelights and transoms, one-over-one double-hung windows with decorative wooden trim, a weather vane atop the front dormer roof, and several dormers and additions on the rear facade. The house is a contributing structure in the Ritte’s East Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

Church of St Brendan, Brendon Devon
Curiously the spelling of the village and 6c saint differs.
The church stands on a sloping hillside well away from the village it serves. It replaced a church of 12c foundation dedicated possibly to St Brendan or to the Virgin Mary at Cheriton two miles away, which was abandoned in the early 18c and of which little now remains.
The present building consists of a 4-bay nave with lean-to north aisle and south porch, 2-bay chancel with north transept / organ chamber. lean-to north-east vestry, and west tower in Gothic style.
The nave, chancel and gabled south porch date to 1738 and are thought to have been built with reused material from Cheriton
The 4 stage tower was rebuilt in 1828;
All restored & refurbished in 1873 with pine pews and new stone pulpit , with north aisle, north transept and vestry added
Inside the walls have been stripped of plaster. The barrel vaulted roof is probably 18c www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/qG5NE4W474
The early 20c elaborately carved wooden reredos, altar rails and choir stalls, are by local carpenter, John Floyd.
The mid to late 12c stone font on octagonal step, with chamfered square base, circular stem and scalloped square bowl still survives and probably came from Cheriton www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/V31zjop16F
Another early Norman font / pillar piscina (probably assembled from separate parts) has a carved circular bowl , stem and base, is strapped for safety to a nearby pillar www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/f127ytS4AC
Over the porch is a sundial made of slate, dated 1707 which predates the church and was probably relocated from another site. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/N8q71i7roe
