In my home library collection - A Book of English Martyrs written by E. M. Wilmot-Buxton, published by Burns and Oates, 1915. Illustration by M. Meredith Williams.
King Henry VIII once described Margaret as “the saintliest woman in Christendom.”
"May 28th is the feast of Blessed Margaret Pole, the Countess of Salisbury, who was beatified by Pope Leo XIII as a martyr for the Catholic Church on 29th December 1886. Pope Leo XIII had a very special love for England, as did Lady Margaret Pole. She was one of the the few remaining members of the Plantagenet dynasty following the Wars of the Roses.
Margaret was born on 14th August 1473, the daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, who was the brother of kings Edward IV and Richard III and she was one of only two women in 16th-century England to be a peeress in her own right with no titled husband.
Her husband Richard, who was the cousin of King Henry VII, held a variety of offices in Henry's government, the highest being Chamberlain for Arthur, Prince of Wales, Henry's elder son. When Prince Arthur married Catherine of Aragon, Margaret became one of her ladies-in-waiting, but her entourage was dissolved when the teen-aged Arthur died in 1502. When her own husband Richard (born 1462) died in 1505, Margaret was a widow with five children, a limited amount of land inherited from her husband, no other income and no prospects. King Henry VII paid for Richard's funeral. To ease the situation, Margaret devoted her third son Reginald Pole (1500-1588) to the Church, where he was to have an eventful career as a Papal Legate and later the last Cardinal Archbishop of Canterbury.
Her youngest son Geoffrey Pole (1501or2-1558) married well, to Constance, daughter of Edmund Pakenham, and inherited the estate of Lordington in Sussex.
When King Henry VIII was refused an annulment of his lawful marriage to Queen Catherine of Aragon and eventually broke from Rome, Margaret Pole refused to recognize the King as the head of the Catholic Church in England rather than the Pope.
The king decided to remove Margaret Pole and convict her of treason. As part of the evidence for the bill of attainder, Cromwell produced a tunic bearing the Five Wounds of Christ, symbolizing Margaret's support for Catholicism and the rule of her son Reginald and the king's Catholic daughter Mary. The supposed discovery, six months after her house and effects were searched at her arrest, is likely to have been a fabrication. She was sentenced to death, and could be executed at the King's will.
Margaret Pole was held in the Tower of London for two and a half years. She, her grandson Henry (son of her own son Henry), and Exeter's son were held together.
On the morning of 27th May 1541, Margaret was told she was to die within the hour. She answered that no crime had been imputed to her. Nevertheless, she was taken from her cell to the place within the precincts of the Tower of London where a low wooden block had been prepared instead of the customary scaffold.
Margaret was 67 years of age. She bravely offered her life remaining loyal to the Catholic Faith. Her execution was performed by "a wretched and blundering youth who literally hacked her head and shoulders to pieces in the most pitiful manner".
Watch a trailer for a film about Blessed Margaret Pole here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5PyWTO7b_A&t=27s" Edited from wikipeadia and the Mary's Dowry on facebook
"Blessed Margaret Pole is an incredible English Martyr, the story of her execution is particularly striking. The following poem was found carved on the wall of her cell:
For traitors on the block should die;
I am no traitor, no, not I!
My faithfulness stands fast and so,
Towards the block I shall not go!
Nor make one step, as you shall see;
Christ in Thy Mercy, save Thou me!
On the morning of 28 May 1541, Margaret was told she was to die within the hour. She answered that no crime had been imputed to her. Nevertheless, she was taken from her cell to the place within the precincts of the Tower of London where a low wooden block had been prepared instead of the customary scaffold.
Two written eyewitness reports survived her execution: one by Marillac, the French ambassador, and the other by Chapuys, ambassador to the Holy Roman Emperor.
Chapuys wrote that, "at first, when the sentence of death was made known to her, she found the thing very strange, not knowing of what crime she was accused, nor how she had been sentenced". Because the main executioner had been sent north to deal with rebels, the execution was performed by "a wretched and blundering youth who literally hacked her head and shoulders to pieces in the most pitiful manner".Mary's Dowry Productions.

This shot isn't quite what i was aiming for. I wanted to get the expanding gas wave-front when the match head ignites. However, I do think it looks quite interesting. Check out the very cool gasses shooting out of the match head inside the flame!
I thought I would experiment with different ways of igniting the match head and see which produced the best result. This one is 5 Amp fuse wire wrapped around the head and shorted out on a 12v battery. It worked well but was a pain to set up!

Here's a repeat of a capture from 2009...I love bringing it, and the story, back again as it brings back the wonderful memory of the visit with some old friends that I seldom see...and came back with this shot!
"Mr. Tom T. Gobble, it is my pleasure to inform you that a last minute phone call from the Governor of the State of Alabama has granted you a permanent stay of execution..."
LOL...actually this guy was never subject to becoming Thanksgiving Dinner...he and several other turkeys are the beloved pets of my friends Gladys and David and they would never let any harm come to them...they are part of their family! Many thanks to them for giving me the opportunity to have this fine fellow added to my photostream for Thanksgiving! : )

Commander's log, date 05.03.2735:
My execution came and went. I had been 'cuffed again, and a hood had been put over my head. I was ready to die. I figured I could at least die with the satisfactory knowledge that I hadn't given away any DDF secrets. But then I heard some screams. They were the screams of the guards, as Jim was decapitating them. He rescued me, and I was quite astounded to see him. After all, I had believed him to be dead. But he explained the situation to me. He had actually come across a DM underwater patrol in the pond. It was the DM underwater patrol's blood I had seen, not Jim's. But he had gotten caught on a rock down there, so it was a while before he surfaced. He found a lone DM soldier and killed him to get weapons. Then he gathered intel and found me. And what a relief that was! Now, Jim and I shall return to base to resume our normal activities.

Different parts of London were also associated with different styles of executions. Formal beheadings were at the Tower of London - either privately on Tower Green or in public on Tower Hill. Tyburn was associated with hanging common criminals. Smithfield was long associated with burning heretics. Smithfield was also chosen as the site of SIr William Wallace's execution - possibly due to its connection with butchers.
Sir William Wallace was hung, drawn and quartered with parts of him being burned while he was still alive. He was portrayed by actor Mel Gibson in the film 'Braveheart'.
This memorial is on the wall of St.Bart's and the railing below is decorated in messages from loyal Scots, some tied on with tartan bows.

Van Nelle Factory, Rotterdam The Netherlands – Architects: Brinkman and Van der Vlugt – masterplan 1914 – 1923; design 1923 – 1925; execution 1925 - 1931
The Van Nelle Factory is one of the highlights of the Modern Movement in the Netherlands. The impressive glass building is not only an example of functionalism and rational production, but also improved working conditions for workers in the twentieth century. The restored building is now one of the most important monuments of Rotterdam
The Firm Van Nelle was selling coffee, tea, tobacco and snuff in Rotterdam since 1782.
The entirely new complex consists of the actual factory building, an office building, a warehouse, expedition and storage depots along the canal, a boiler house and several workshops. A cafeteria and sports fields were also to be found in the area. The factory building consists of three elongated in height sloping parts separated by stairwells. Tobacco has eight, coffee five and tea factory three floors. The staircases house the washing and changing facilities, toilets and lifts, separated for men and women. This allowed for continues factory floors and easily adjustable layouts. By using a concrete frame the non-load bearing facades could be made almost entirely of glass with only thin steel frames. Light and air could penetrate deep into the building. The expedition and storage strip along the water is connected to the main building by overhead conveyor bridges. Another sky bridge connects the plant to the office at the entrance of the complex. The office consists of a strip with two layers of offices and a large open space with glass walls and glass meeting rooms. The office follows the curve in the road. During construction, a tea room on the roof of the tobacco factory was added.
In 1942, low-rise warehouses designed by Brinkman and Van den Broek were realized. In 1974 at the back of the building, a new distribution center was built. In 1951 other products such as pudding and chewing gum made their entrance. After a takeover by the American Standard Brands in 1989, Van Nelle competitor Sara Lee / Douwe Egberts, sold the complex in 1995, so it could finally get the status of national monument. Using the name Van Nelle Design Factory, the complex started a new life. The factory complex was restored by Wessel de Jonge and Claessens Erdmann. The transparency of the factory floor was maintained as much as possible by the new climate walls on the inside. The new inner facades are made of aluminum and therefore clearly identifiable as new elements. On the floors office spaces of various sizes have been realized for the creative sector. The ground floor is used for exhibitions and conferences. The adjacent buildings have been restored and are used by a number of architectural firms.

Disposals of the Volvo B10B's have been slow and steady, but during the last few months, progress has speeded up on dispatching these buses to various scrapyards. Most being in the Midlands rather than Barnsley. Some have had a stay of execution, being turned into driver training vehicles to replace the Metrobuses and B10L's. Here 1377 N377WOH is seen parked on what is usually 'death row' next to the ex Dundee 'Pointer sisters'!
As ith my photo of 666, the original was just that little bit dark, so Ive altered it slightly in Picnik, and it has made all the difference.
