A chilly morning with showers, we took shelter for a while and to warm up with a coffee. Suddenly a stunning male Pied Flycatcher landed near by and even started singing.
Immaculada is an OOAK Commission piece for a lovely lady down under. It is the perfect blend of Spring Summer (which you've already seen) and Fall Winter (Santita) collections. So it should be familiarity and anticipation of the unknown at the same time...

Church of St Paul, Filleigh Devon - The name of the village derives from the name of a monk, Saint Fili, who founded a church here in Saxon times.
According the 1086 Domesday Survey "Baldwin the sheriff has 1 estate which is called Filleigh, which Osfrith held on the day that King Eadweard was alive and dead, and it paid 〈geld〉 for 4 virgates. 8 ploughs can plough these. Of it Baldwin has 1 virgate and 3 ploughs in demesne and the villans 2 virgates and 6 ploughs. There Baldwin has 9 villans and 6 bordars and 3 slaves and 3 swineherds, who pay 15 pigs, and 14 beasts and 10 pigs and 60 sheep and 10 acres of woodland and 7 acres of meadow and 30 acres of grazing-land; and it is worth 3 pounds a year and, when he received it, it was worth as much 40 shillings"
The manor was held in the 14c by a family which took its name from the manor, de Filleigh
On default of male heirs, the manor passed by marriage to the Denzell / Densyll family. .
In 1454 Sir Martin Fortescue 1472 second son of Sir John Fortescue 1485, Chief Justice, of Ebrington Manor Gloc. flic.kr/p/2dxAxJD married Elizabeth Densyll 1508 a daughter and co-heiress of Richard Densyll of Filleigh, and thereby the manor became a possession of the Fortescue family, together with substantial other Densyll manors including Weare Giffard, Buckland Filleigh, Combe and Tamerton. Elizabeth Denzell survived her first husband and remarried to Sir Richard de Pomeroy 1496 of Berry Pomeroy in 1473 flic.kr/p/ywRdcg
The old mediaeval church was demolished by Hugh Fortescue, Lord Clinton in c 1730.
The only surviving objects from the old church are two monumental brasses on the north wall of the nave which formerly adorned the now lost tomb-monument of Richard Fortescue 1570 flic.kr/p/iEdToj & his brother in law Sir Bernard Drake 1586 flic.kr/p/iFRa23
The present parish church was built in 1732 on a new site 1/2-mile west of the new Palladian mansion of Castle Hill which was then being built by Lord Clinton.
Originally Classical in style, It was re-modelled in 1876–1877 to the plans of Clark of Newmarket, (Gilbert Scott having been consulted) in 1864, this Victorian remodelling converted the church into the Norman style, with the addition of a south aisle, now the "Fortescue Chapel", and a new chancel in the form of an apse. There are several memorials to members of the Fortescue on the walls , furnishings and in stained glass..
It now consists of a west tower, nave, short transepts, south aisle and apsidal chancel.
The nave, north transept and chancel windows are all round-arched single lights with Norman style mouldings applied to the original Georgian openings, The gabled south porch has an external stair turret to the organ gallery on west side. It is topped with a large wheel window above doorway with fishscale patterning to the tympanum.
The north transept terminates in the Fortescue vault with embattled parapet, inscribed on the north side 'to memory of Hugh 3rd Earl Fortescue and of 4 generations of his ancestors',
The two stage tower was topped with a spire in late 19c.
Inside there are semi-circular headed arches in Norman style to tower and transepts, and to 2 bay south aisle arcade with scalloped capitals. The ceiled wagon roofs throughout have panels painted with foliated decoration, were painted by Lady Susan Fortescue c. 1880.
The chancel apse ceiling is panelled in leaf patterns of multicoloured stone, continued as mosaics behind the choir stalls, with inscription to George Damer, 7th son of Earl Fortescue, lost in HMS Wasp in the China seas 1887.
After the chancel had been added with an apse it needed new windows, www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/3vQPT97tr8 which were dedicated to Georgiana, Countess Fortescue 1866, the wife of the 3rd Earl who also had a new font dedicated to her memory. (The original large 4 light east chancel window was moved to the south aisle during the 1876-7 restoration and filled with stained glass in memory of the first Earl Fortescue. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/603uVc6HTT)#

We had couple of nights in north Devon recently and were lucky no rain. Just love these wind swept trees you find on the top or near the coast. I think it could do with rabbit (but didn't have one handy)

Church of St Andrew, Cullompton Devon
The earliest evidence of occupation here is from the Roman period: there was a fort on the hill above the town and occupation in the current town centre. "Columtune" was mentioned in Alfred the Great's will, which left it to his youngest son Æthelweard
The original (wooden) church is thought to have been dedicated to St Columba who preached to West Saxons in 549 AD. After 1066 it and its land was given to Battle Abbey by William the Conqueror and at the time of the 1086 Domesday Survey this manor was part of the royal manor of Silverton and not recorded separately. Before the conquest it was held by King Edward. In 1291 this manor was given to Buckland Abbey by Isabella Countess of Devon The manor contained 5 sub-manors called Upton, Weaver, Ash, Colebrook and Henland (now in the parish of Kentisbeare) and later passed to St Nicholas Priory in Exeter.
The church now consists of a chancel, nave, north and two inner & outer south aisles, a south-west porch, and a magnificent four stage tower built of local red sandstone, 100 feet high topped with 20 feet pinnacles 20 regarded as one of the finest in Devon On its west front are carved the arms of England, those of John Vesey, then Bishop of Exeter [elected 1519], a statue of King Edward VI [r. 1547-1553] or Edward the Martyr, a crucifix and an effigy of St. George; www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/03BJC1c089 It has a Polygonal stair turett to the north face.
The list of vicars dates from 1181 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/Kp1Y5ycS98 and the registers from 1601.
The nave and north and south aisles were possibly built in the first half of the 15c. The outer south Lane aisle was begun in 1526 with building still in progress in 1552; The west tower was begun 1539 with building still in progress in 1545
There is a richly coloured rood screen of 13 bays in red, white, green & gold, retaining its cornices and groining. The panels originally contained paintings of saints, but these have been painted over. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/0J8E91w3X5 The rood beam still remains over the screen, but from its position must have served as a support to the top of the cross. The Calvary was removed from the loft either during the Protectorate [1653-1659], or by Government order of 1547; . This base of the Calvary / Golgotha also survives and is made of oak, carved to represent rocks with skulls, thigh-bones, and shoulder blades lying upon them; www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/5977A6Bvq8 there is no other instance in Devonshire of even so much as this remaining of the actual rood.
The Lane aisle, was built as a chantry chapel by a wealthy wood merchant John Lane, c1526 before he died in February 1528, and he is buried with his wife Thomasine near the altar, their surviving brass indents are now partly covered by pews. . www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/FS84151e8c The interior of the aisle is under a wonderful roof of fan tracery, finer than anything of its kind in a Devonshire church, www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/vg807oQ34o The external stone of the aisle is ornamented with devices representing his merchants mark, www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/219KZ58rVN four of his trading ships www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/f36WG00GU0 & his initials, Around it is an inscription stating that the aisle was erected in honour of God and the Blessed Virgin, and asking for prayers for the souls of John the founder, his wife and children... www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/8B08X92J7f Pedestals for lost statues are on the second stage under a third stage made up of now destroyed pinnacles.
There is a stone in the porch having an incised floriated cross with an inscription to John King, died October 9th 1458, and Joan his wife.
At the end of the nave is a Jacobean gallery with four oak pillars about 9 feet (3 m) tall. which dates from 1637 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/ztdoP857ZP
When the church was restored in 1849 by Edward Ashworth , a number of frescos of early 15c date were discovered in the north wall of the north aisle, on the north wall over the rood loft, and on the arcades, but sadly although these were recorded at the time, they are no longer visible.

Church of St John the Baptist , East Down / Eastdown Devon
dating from the 13c, was first recorded in 1260 and was begun as the local manorial chapel
It was extensively remodelled in late 15c after it became a parish church by gift in 1469 when the south aisle was added.
Built in Perpendicular style, it now consists of a chancel with aisle, nave, south aisle, south porch and a low embattled tower.
The tower is the oldest part of the building, and is situated in the position of a north transept with access from nave by a 13c pointed arch. 13c fabric survives with lancets in the base and the chancel south wall between east end and termination of south aisle. There is also a blocked 13c opening on nave north wall. The tower bears a 'bullet' hole from a skirmish during the 17c Civil War and a small 1671 datestone on first stage of east wall may indicate repairs and alterations after this . It has 4 bells: the first three are dated respectively 1669, 1712, and 1830; the 3rd bears an indistinct legend in Lombardic characters:
The rood screen is of particular note, a fine example of late 15c / early 16c craftsmanship which was carefully restored in 1925.
Refenestration and major restoration / rebuilding occurred in 1886-7 on all but the tower at a cost of £1,500: The nave pews are also of this date. there are 180 sittings. .The parish register dates from the year 1538.
The nave and chancel south arcade has 5 continuous bays with perpendicular flat pointed arches supported on piers One capital is carved with figures, perhaps of a sporting scene, the rest are standard foliage. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/F3f8g347Q7
The heavily restored uncoiled waggon roofs to south aisle, nave and chancel incorporate reused timbers and have plain chamfered ribs.
The south aisle has a plain piscina and a squint at eastern end of arcade.
The marble font and font cover sits on richly carved late 16c columns www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/b5M8ey83qH
There is a badly damaged Royal arms on the west wall of tower.
